News and Errata

Errata of Version 2.0

2008-12-04:

• For Czech Republic the coding of V56 'Are you citizen of' is completely reversed in the version 2.0 due to a coding error in the original Czech coding scheme. Please use the SPSS syntax statement as follows before analyzing the integrated data file:

Do if V3=14. Recode V56 (1=2) (2=1) (else=copy). End if. Execute.

Version 2.0 - 2007-08-30

As of 2007-08-30, a revised version (2.0, version date Aug 27, 2007) of the integrated file is available through the ZACAT online platform. Change in this version:

• data in variables ATTEND for a number of countries and DEGREE for Ireland corrected, see below for details.
• USA have provided a corrected Study Description.
• Other changes:
  - Variable "ZA Study Number" now holds the ZA No. (3910) instead of the module year (2003).
  - Variable "Respondent Number": now standardised for all countries, 8-digit number, begins with Country ID from V3, last digits are the country specific ID numbers.
  - Variable "Country": Code 11 "Netherlands" added, Code for "Uruguay" changed to '43' (for consistency with ISSP2004, ZA3950).
  - Variable (AGE recoded to classes) has been removed.
  - A number of missing value definitions has been set, in particular in country specific variables.

Errata of Version 1.1

2007-09-03:

• The Study Description contains incorrect figures about the gross sample and non-respondents.
• Variable ATTEND: A filter condition has erroneously been enforced where respondents with no religion/denomination (code 0 in RELIG) were recoded to a missing value of 0 "NAP" on ATTEND if they previously had a valid response of NO church attendance (code 8 on ATTEND). This cannot be reliably undone by recoding data of the integrated file, please use version 2.0 if you want to analyse ATTEND.
• Variable DEGREE, data for Rep. of Ireland: The derivation of DEGREE from the national variable IE_DEGR is obviously incorrect, having far too many cases under "no formal schooling" of DEGREE. Please do not use DEGREE for Ireland in version 1.1, but fall back to IE_DEGR and recode that according to your own needs.

Version 1.1 - 2007-02-20

• As of 2007-02-16, a revised version (1.1, release date Jan 29, 2007) is available through the ZACAT online platform. This version fixes the coding errors of the CD-ROM version reported below. (The data set version is stored in variable 'version'. If your data set has no variable named 'version', it is version 1.0.)
  

Errata of the CD-ROM version (1.0)

• The questionnaires for (both Latvian and Russian language versions) as originally offered here and on the data CD-ROM are incomplete. Latvia has now provided complete questionnaires. Since 2006-02-06, the links above lead to the complete versions!
• We have identified a coding error in the SPSS system file <ISSP2003_V3Final_rev2.sav> contained on the CD-ROM. Only for data from , responses from Q.24b (relating to EU members) are incorrectly stored in , otherwise holding responses from Q.24 (relating to EU members). In V74 (meant to hold Q.24b), where Spain should be, all Spanish cases are incorrectly set to '0'.
• If you are working with the <ISSP2003_V3Final_rev2.sav> file, you can simply copy the data for the Spanish cases from V73 to V74. In SPSS, you would use a syntax statement like this to do that:

IF (V3=25) V74=V73. /* V3=25: Country=Spain.
EXECUTE.
Please note that this error has already been corrected in the dataset version that is available online through the ZACAT system!

• Questionnaires for Russia, Rep. of Ireland, and Venezuela were not available when the CD-ROM was produced, but have been provided later on and are now available here.
• For Austria, the coding of variable "v291 : R:Top Bottom self-placement 10 pt scale" is completely reversed in version 1, date March, 2006 of the data set.
  In SPSS, you can fix this as follows:

do if v3=7 and v362=1.
recode v291 (1=10) (2=9) (3=8) (4=7) (5=6) (6=5) (7=4) (8=3) (9=2) (10=1) (else=copy).
end if.
execute.
