Summary View help for Summary
The 1998 Dutch Prejudice Survey is a telephone survey of a random sample of Dutch citizens aged 16 and older. The survey was conducted by the University of Utrecht. The survey was focused on attitudes toward various outgroups in Dutch society, including Turks, Moroccans, Surinamese, and refugees in general. There were also questions about Muslims, Jews, and the Dutch themselves.
The study sought to assess the relative degree of prejudice toward various groups. The relationship between prejudice and politics was also a focus of the study. The survey included many questions about political attitudes, values, and policies, and about voting behavior and party identification.
The telephone interview was a computer-assisted survey that incorporated many randomized experiments.

Weight View help for Weight
A person-level sampling weight (SAMPWT) is provided, which adjusts for differences in the probability of selection due to the number of eligible persons in each selected household. This weight was adjusted further to create a post stratification weight (PSWT), which adjusted the age by education distribution of the sample to match the most recent Dutch census. See Appendix B of the codebook for more information on the creation of the weights.
