Summary
The General Social Surveys (GSS) have been conducted by the National Opinion Research Center annually since 1972 except for the years 1979, 1981, and 1992 (a supplement was added in 1992), and biennially beginning in 1994. The GSS are designed as part of a program of social indicator research, replicating questionnaire items and wording in order to facilitate time-trend studies. Items in the 2002 GSS include questions on religious self-identification, denominational affiliation, church attendance, personal beliefs, and religious upbringing.
To download syntax files for the GSS that reproduce well-known religious group recodes, including RELTRAD, please visit the ARDA’s Syntax Repository.
Survey data were taken utilizing personal interviews.
Sampling Procedures
The GSS is a national probability sample that follows a biennial, double sample design adopted in 1994 (this biennial, split-sample design was instituted, consisting of two parallel subsamples of approximately 1,500 cases each, with identical cores and different topical ISSP modules; in effect, the two samples can be viewed as representing the traditional GSS for two consecutive years, although they are fielded together). Full probability sampling was employed in 1998 for all noninstitutionalized English-speaking persons 18 years of age or older, living in the United States.
The national sample uses a variation of the stratified probability proportional to size (PPS) method. First, the nation is divided into clusters, called primary sampling units (PSUs). PSUs are based on counties; the total number of households in each county, as reported by the most recent census....Each metropolitan county is regarded as a PSU, as are many nonmetropolitan counties. Sparsely populated rural counties are merged into adjacent county units to obtain a minimum of 2,000 housing units.
Since NORC samples are based on 100 PSUs, the total number of housing units for a year is divided by 100 to yield a sampling interval (some PSUs have total numbers of housing units exceeding the sampling interval, making it impossible for them not to be included in a sample, see Tourangeau, Johnson, Qian, and Shin, 1993 for further discussion on how these PSUs are treated). Each PSU is assigned a number range based on its total number of housing units. Then a random number is selected, and the first PSU selected is the one within whose range the random number falls. Additional PSUs were selected by adding the sample interval to the initial random number on a cumulative basis.
Once the 100 PSUs are selected, block segments consisting of linked groups of one or more geographically contiguous census blocs are also selected. Segment selections were made using PPS methods on the basis of the total number of housing units in the PPS relative to the national total.

Imagine you've been experiencing headaches. You visit your doctor and talk to him about your symptoms. You also tell the doctor that you' ve been feeling a lot of stress lately. After doing a complete examination, the doctor decides that the headaches are probably due to stress. The doctor wants to work with you over the next month to reduce your stress.
You want to have an MRI to make sure everything is OK. An MRI is a special and expensive type of x-ray that allows doctors to take detailed pictures of parts of the body such as the heart, spinal cord, or head. Remember that after your complete examination the doctor thinks you don't need the MRI. Then imagine that you have the following conversation with the doctor about the MRI and financial incentives. In this dialogue, the patient speaks first.
VIGNETTE 1 - CODE 1 PAT: I'd feel better if I had an MRI. I'm worried that you won't order it because it's too expensive.
DOC: Our physician's group does have financial incentives to keep costs down by avoiding tests when they are not necessary. However, no single decision about an MRI affects my salary. In my opinion an MRI is not needed in your case.
VIGNETTE 2 - CODE 2 PAT: I'd feel better if I had an MRI. I'm worried that you won't order it because it's too expensive.
DOC: It used to be that physicians were able to provide tests for patients just to set their minds at rest. Unfortunately, your health plan won't allow me to do it for that reason. Even though I'd like to order it for you, your plan is not going to pay for it.
VIGNETTE 3 - CODE 3 PAT: I'd feel better if I had an MRI. I'm worried that you won't order it because it's too expensive.
DOC: I can understand that you're worried about whether everything is OK. It also sounds like you're worried that I'm not ordering the test because it's too expensive. These days with Managed Care lots of people share your worries about this. I want to set your mind at rest because I truly do not think that the test is needed at this point.
VIGNETTE 4 - CODE 4 PAT: I'd feel better if I had an MRI. I' m worried that you won't order it because it' s too expensive.
DOC: I understand that you'd like an MRI to make sure that everything is OK. But based on your symptoms, I really don't think you need one. I'd like to treat you for a month or so and then talk again about whether we need an MRI. Would that be acceptable to you?
VIGNETTE 5 - CODE 5 PAT: I'd feel better if I had an MRI. I'm worried that you won't order it because it's too expensive.
DOC: I've had a lot of experience taking care of patients with problems like yours. The problem you 're having is really quite common. You should follow the treatment I've outlined, and then I can reevaluate the situation again in a month.
VIGNETTE 6 - CODE 6 PAT: I'd feel better if I had an MRI. I'm worried that you won't order it because it's too expensive.
DOC: I usually don't order an MRI under circumstances like yours. There's no outside pressure that has made any difference in how I treat patients with headaches. You may set your mind at rest that I'm doing this because this is how I practice medicine.
