Abstract

ZUMA produces English reports on the German implementations of ISSP studies to provide non-German users with basic information about each study. The German ISSP is now fielded together with the German GSS (ALLBUS) and detailed methods reports for the ALLBUS/ISSP studies are available in German. The individual ISSP reports include information relevant for those conducting comparative analyses (e.g. details of items across years, details of other countries fielding) of less relevance for users of the German ALLBUS/ISSP data set and thus not covered in the German report. The detail provided in the ISSP reports on aspects such as sampling and fielding lies between that of the longer ALLBUS/ISSP reports and the information available in tabular form in the ISSP Study Descriptions and the ISSP Study Monitoring reports that are published with ISSP merged data sets on the Central Archive web pages.
