Replication Package for Finding John Smith: Using Extra Information for Historical Record Linkage (ICPSR 247429)

Released/updated on: 2026-04-14

Geographic coverage: United States

Time period: 1850-01-01--1950-12-31

We introduce a new rule-based linking method for historical Census records. We augment earlier algorithms based on name, age and place of birth (Abramitzky, Boustan, Eriksson, 2012, or “basic ABE”), with five matching characteristics – middle initial, county of residence, and spouse and parents’ names. Relative to basic ABE, ABE-Extra Information (“ABE-EI”) greatly increases match rates, improves accuracy and is similarly representative of the population on most attributes, with geographic mobility being one important exception. Relative to machine learning algorithms, ABE-EI has somewhat lower match rates, greater representativeness, and offers full replicability. We also create the first ABE-based links for women.

Data Management and Data Sharing Training in Social Science Graduate Programs, United States, 2017-2018 (ICPSR 110241)

Released/updated on: 2019-06-24

Geographic coverage: United States

Time period: 2017-01-01--2018-12-31

The Data Management and Data Sharing Training in Social Science Graduate Programs collection includes data gathered as part of an exploratory analysis of current graduate training practices for data management and data sharing in the social science fields. The exploratory analysis was conducted in two stages. In the first stage, a survey of a select set of social science graduate programs was conducted to assess the inclusion of data management and sharing-related content, as well as the experiential development of these skills as a result of participating in the program. The final sections of the survey asked respondents to assess graduates’ skills in research and data management and sharing upon graduation. The survey was sent to program directors, administrators, and other representatives designated as the contact person for the program on their university website. The survey was administered to 150 graduate programs across six social science disciplines, and used a mix of closed and open-ended questions focused on the extent to which programs provide such training and exposure. The survey data is included in the file DS1_Graduate_Program_Survey_Data.sav.In the second stage of the study, a conducted a syllabus analysis was conducted to further explore the content of graduate programs beyond self-report. Syllabi were gathered to conduct a text-analysis to explore how prominently data sharing or data management material appears in the syllabi for research related courses, if at all, as a means of determining the degree of instruction time devoted to the material. Syllabi were sought for a random sample of 140 programs from seven social science disciplines. The dataset was constructed through text analysis of the syllabi, looking for several key words and phrases that indicated both explicit and implicit inclusion of data management and sharing topics in coursework. Researchers searched through the syllabi to highlight predetermined keywords, highlighting both exact mentions of phrases like “data collection” and “data analysis,” but also synonymous phrases such as “gathering of data.” Additionally, implied use of the word “data,” such as in a list of actions applied to data, were also included as multiple unique mentions (e.g. “data collection, management, and analysis” would be considered three mentions of “data”). Lastly, syllabi were read to identify course requirements of research projects, assignments requiring data collection, or other types of research related presentations. The syllabi analysis data is included in DS2_Syllabi_Analysis_Data.sav

Faculty at Work, 1988-1989: [United States] (ICPSR 9713)

Released/updated on: 1992-05-12

Geographic coverage: United States

Time period: 1988-01-01--1989-12-31

The purpose of this survey was to assess the current working conditions for full-time faculty in the United States and to explore the ways in which those conditions affect the teaching role. A secondary purpose of this project was to create a database to serve as a foundation for identifying and studying incentives most likely to motivate faculty members to explore alternative ways of teaching. A cognitive motivation model was used to predict faculty behaviors related to teaching, research, scholarship, and service. Faculty surveyed were from three fields and eight disciplines: the humanities (English and history), natural sciences (biology, chemistry, and mathematics), and social sciences (political science, psychology, and sociology). Institutions excluded from the survey included specialized institutions as designated by the 1976 Carnegie classification, vocational and technical schools, two-year branches of universities, and institutions less than ten years old. Full-time faculty were sampled in the remaining Carnegie types, and stratified by level (I or II) and by control (public or private). Survey items include demographic information, questions about institutional priorities, and a series of questions designed to elicit perceptions of the skills, values, and personality predispositions that characterize the valued professor on the respondent's campus. The unit of analysis is full-time faculty (faculty with a 50 percent or greater faculty appointment in a department) in tenure-track positions.

ICPSR Instructional Subset: Quality of American Life, 1971 (ICPSR 7516)

Released/updated on: 1992-02-16

Geographic coverage: United States

Time period: 1971-01-01--1971-12-31

This study contains an instructional subset of the survey data gathered in the study QUALITY OF AMERICAN LIFE, 1971 (ICPSR 3508), collected from a nationwide probability sample of 2,164 persons 18 years of age and older. The survey was designed to measure respondents' perceptions of their socio-psychological condition, their needs and expectations from life, and the degree to which these needs were satisfied. For instructional purposes, this subset contains 80 variables, presented in their raw, unweighted form, for use with the subset's codebook, which gives seven basic pieces of information about each of the variables. In some cases the variables from the original study have been recoded for ease of analysis by students. The questions included in this instructional subset are representative of the major areas of the original, longer survey. The first several variables establish the respondent's social role. These background variables include education received, sex, age, marital status, religious preference, and occupational group. Next, several variables deal with the respondent's place of residence and attitudes toward that residence. Information on the length of time in the community and in the particular dwelling are followed by questions about the respondent's views toward the neighborhood. The study also asks the respondent for views regarding the adequacy of government activity. In a third section of the subset the respondent is asked to choose between a number of pairs of adjectives as best describing his or her life. In the last section of the study the respondent is asked questions regarding the sources of satisfaction in his or her life, including religion, government, and organizational memberships.

ICPSR Instructional Subset: Justifying Violence: Attitudes of American Men, 1969 (ICPSR 7517)

Released/updated on: 1992-02-16

Geographic coverage: United States

Time period: 1969-01-01--1969-12-31

This survey of attitudes of 1,374 American men aged 16-64 toward violence was conducted in the summer of 1969 by the Survey Research Center of the Institute for Social Research at the University of Michigan. The investigators examined the level of violence that respondents viewed as justified to accomplish social control and social change and also probed the respondents' personal values, their definition of violence, and their identification with groups involved in violence. To examine the degree of violence that American men felt could be justified for social control, the investigators asked respondents to react to situations involving protests and other disturbances. These situations included hoodlum gang disturbances, student protests, and Black protest demonstrations. The respondents were asked what police actions from "letting it go" to "shooting to kill" were appropriate as police control measures. Several such items were combined to form an index of "violence for social control." In questions dealing with the level of violence necessary to bring about social change, respondents were asked if they agreed with the necessity of "protest in which some people will be killed" in order to bring about changes sought by Blacks, by student demonstrators, and in general. These items were combined into an index of "violence for social change." This instructional subset from the original study also includes an initial series of questions that asked whether respondents viewed such actions as protest demonstrations, police frisking, looting, burglary, and draft-card burning as violence. This was followed by inquiries into the possible causes of violence and motives of those who participate in violence. Another set of variables deals with respondents' relative views of property damage and personal injury and their opinions on the use of violence to prevent violence, violence as a teaching tool, forgiveness of one's attacker, and the roles of courts and police agencies in combating crime. The subset concludes with a number of derived indices of violence attitudes that drew upon survey questions to form general patterns. These derived indices include retributive justice, self-defense, humanism, property-person priority, kindness, police-court power, court fairness, social causes, trust, and peer consensus indices. Finally, several summary measures gauge the respondents' general approval of violence for social control and social change purposes. Demographic variables specify education, age, religion, socioeconomic status, and region of the country.

ICPSR Instructional Subset: American Public Opinion and United States Foreign Policy, 1975 (ICPSR 7518)

Released/updated on: 1992-02-16

Geographic coverage: United States, Global

Time period: 1975-01-01--1975-12-31

This study contains data on the attitudes of the American public toward American foreign policy in 1975. The study derives from surveys on the attitudes of the American public and national leaders toward foreign policy conducted by Louis Harris and Associates, commissioned by the Chicago Council on Foreign Relations in November 1974. ICPSR provides instructional subsets based on both the public and the leadership surveys. See the related collection, ICPSR INSTRUCTIONAL SUBSET: AMERICAN LEADERSHIP OPINION AND UNITED STATES FOREIGN POLICY, 1975 (ICPSR 7519). This public survey used a stratified systematic national sample of 1,513 Americans aged 18 years and older. The leadership sample included 329 individuals in positions that made them likely to have influence upon and knowledge of foreign relations. Leaders were drawn in roughly equal proportions from among those in responsible positions in politics, government, business, communications, and education. Somewhat fewer respondents were interviewed from the fields of labor, religion, and voluntary and ethnic organizations. In general, the questions in both surveys examined attitudes in a number of related areas, including the role and extent of United States' involvement in world affairs, the amount of domestic support for such involvement, and the relationship between domestic and foreign policies. The initial 71 variables in each subset reflect identical substantive questions asked of both populations, so that public and leadership attitudes on the same questions can be easily compared. These questions queried respondents on topics such as the value and effectiveness of United States' economic and military aid and its effect on the American economy and national security, prevention of the spread of communism, and improvement of American foreign relations. Also asked were questions on the role of the United States in world affairs, its status compared to the previous ten years, its world military involvement, and lessons learned from the Vietnam War. Respondents were also asked to rate the president and Congress on foreign policy formulation achievements and to specify the appropriate responses to a number of possible future world developments. Demographic items specify age, race, sex, education, occupation, income, political orientation, religion, and region of the country.

ICPSR Instructional Subset: Citizen Attitudes Toward Local Government (ICPSR 7522)

Released/updated on: 1992-02-16

Geographic coverage: United States

This data collection was based on the Ten Cities Survey of Citizen Attitudes Toward Local Government conducted under the supervision of the Urban Observatory Program. The research for the project was funded by the Department of Housing and Urban Development and administered by the National League of Cities. Each Urban Observatory network city had autonomy over the study in its area. This instructional subset includes responses from surveys administered in four of the ten cities: Atlanta, Boston, Baltimore, and San Diego. The four were selected because they represented regional diversity and also because examination of the distribution of responses suggested four rather different patterns of citizen attitudes. Variables provide information on respondents' views of local government and services, public officials, local schools and racial integration, public transportation, police protection, neighborhood safety, the uses of city funds, most urgent city problems, most problematic groups in the city, effects of urban renewal on the city, courts, city wages, and strikes by public employees. Other items probed respondents' opinions of local problems in the areas of schooling, housing, public transportation, drugs, law and order, and city taxes. Demographic items specify age, sex, education, ethnicity, family income, home ownership, length of stay in the city of residence, and interests in politics.

ICPSR Instructional Subset: FEA Survey 18--Surveys of Public Attitudes and Response to Federal Energy Policy, 1974-1976 (ICPSR 7585)

Released/updated on: 1992-02-16

Geographic coverage: United States

Time period: 1974-01-01--1976-12-31

This instructional subset contains information from one of the 42 series of the Surveys of Public Attitudes and Response to Federal Energy Policy conducted for the United States Federal Energy Administration by the Opinion Research Corporation of Princeton, New Jersey. The surveys were administered as part of a program to ascertain on a timely basis the American public's knowledge, beliefs, attitudes, motivations, preferences, and behavior regarding issues of energy conservation and the environment. The topical coverage of the surveys dealt with the public's perception of the role of the federal government in the energy policy area, personal knowledge and sources of information about energy, perceptions of actual or potential government action, and personal efforts to conserve energy. Information was also obtained on the respondents' behavior with regard to home insulation, driving habits, and the use of mass transit. Items in this subset focus primarily on public attitudes toward possible government energy policies, as well as expectations about the future economic and environmental conditions in the United States. Included are items that provide information on respondents' attitudes toward government pollution control devices, strip mining regulations, government spending, environmental cleanup, unemployment, and taxation of foreign oil. Other items probed respondents' views of United States' food imports and exports and the most important problem facing the country, as well as their expectations of future consumer prices, family income, and unemployment. Demographic items specify age, sex, education, race, income, employment, race, marital status, place or residence, region, political party identification, number of people in household, and membership in unions and environmental organizations. See the related collection, ICPSR INSTRUCTIONAL SUBSET: FEA SURVEY 1--SURVEYS OF PUBLIC ATTITUDES AND RESPONSE TO FEDERAL ENERGY POLICY, 1974-1976 (ICPSR 7584). Each of these subsets is a discrete independent dataset.
