CD ROM plus "Watching TV in the GDR 1984: Data and Documentation of
the sociological TV Research"
On this CD you can find selected studies of the sociological research
of the State Committee for Television at the Council of Ministers of the
GDR carried out in 1984. The research team has been conducting surveys
on the reception of the TV program since 1965. In 1990 the TV station of
the former GDR was closed down and the research ended.
In cooperation with the
Deutschen Rundfunkarchiv (dra) Potsdam GESIS-ZA rescued 466 studies
generated in the years 1982-1990 and included them in its holdings. The
data bank on hand comprises exemplary the weekly surveys on the TV
reception (so called “Sofortresonanzen”) in 1984. The data are processed
and documented according to the GESIS-ZA standards and now available for
secondary analysis. The studies conducted in 1982, 1983 as well as in
1985 to 1990 are under preparation.
The data sets are the result of representative surveys of the GDR
population. The face-to-face interviews comprise questions on the
reception and evaluation of 100 selected TV shows (1. and 2. cannel)
broadcasted three to five days before the interview. These questions
were completed by a more comprehensive set of additional questions about
the content of special shows and habits of watching TV as well as
attitudes towards TV in general. In the end of the questionnaire there
are demographic variables.
The data sets on the CD are presented by using the data browser
CodebookExplorer. It enables the browsing within the study and
variable lists. Additionally the questionnaires and the study
descriptions are incorporated in the system. You can find them in the
respective directories on the CD as well.
