Documents and Data:

Remarks:

  • See also special release: European Election Study 1994
  • Current archive dataset version / update: v1.1.0 (2012)
  • Errata:
    • RELIGIOUS DENOMINATION is documented as "Orthodox" for code '3' in the original Eurobarometer codebooks and basic questionnaires starting with survey number 32. This is not correct in the case of the NETHERLANDS. Dutch respondents have been asked for the Protestant section "Gereformeerd" in the place of "Orthodox". Corrected in the ZA codebooks for deliveries after March 16, 1999.
    • D29 INCOME HH QUARTILES (V598): The category order as documented (s2459cdb.pdf) is reversed. The highest quartile should be assigned to code '1' and the lowest quartile to code '4'. The SPSS data set is correct. (January 30, 2007).  
    • C1 OPINION LEADERSHIP INDEX (V627): The category order as documented (s2459cdb.pdf) is reversed. The highest index (++) should be assigned to code '4' and the lowest (--) to code '1'. The SPSS data set is correct. (January 30, 2007).
