There is an error in the variable V108 - subjective social class - in data and documentation.
Code 1 - 20 cases - lower class
Code 2 - 267 cases - working class
Code 5 - 514 cases - middle class (NOT upper middle)
Code 6 - 94 cases - upper middle class (NOT upper class)
Code 0 - 16 cases - upper class (NOT none of these)
Code 7 - 73 cases - MISSING
The labels for the codes which are printed in the codebook are correct:
1 - lower class
2 - working class
3 - upper working/lower middle
4 - middle class
5 - upper middle class
6 - upper class
7 - refused
8 - don't know
9 - no answer
0 - none of these
For the Austrian case the codes should be recoded:
1 --> 1
2 --> 2
5 --> 4
6 --> 5
0 --> 6
7 --> 7

A user of ISSP data informed us about some identical respondent id numbers in the files produced until now. We publish the list of these cases and leave it to your decision whether these should be excluded from secondary analyses. If these cases have different responses, they are probably really different respondents:
