194) RANDOM START POINT FOR GROUPS: Respondents were asked how much members often groups agreed with their general view of society (questions in the 121a-n range). The "start point" was determined randomly as was the direction in which the groups were presented. Thus, for instance, a 3 for this variable and a 1 for the next meant that the respondent was first presented with "recent immigrants" and then proceeded down the list (white Americans, Jews, Muslims, etc. to Asian Americans, who would be presented last.) A 5 and a 2 mean that Jews were mentioned first, followed by white Americans and so on in reverse order ending up with conservative Christians and Muslims. (GRP1)

196) BLACK-HISP ANSWER TO OPEN ENDED RACE: Race was determined first by asking, without prompting, about a person's background, and the answers were classified by interviewers into one of several precoded categories, including mixed, other, and multiple. This question was followed up by another, for those who named more than one race by a query asking for respondent's designation of the best descriptor for them. Finally, a last question asked if there were any other special group with which respondents identified. For each of these, verbatim responses were noted for any unclear case. These were examined to determine if any answer would have classified the individual as either Black (African-American) or Hispanic or both. This code allows users to determine which if any of these classifications applied. (ETHOPEN)

197) RANDOM CHOICE FOR RESPONDENT: In making random selection of respondents from multi-person households, one asked either how many of the adults were men or how many were women. If both genders were represented, this variable also determined among which set a second selection would be made if there was more than one of the "preferred" gender. This variable is included for completeness and because this factor also figured into the weighting scheme, which will be noted below. (RND1)

This variable appears as 1 for all cases meeting any of the criteria. The unweighted number of such cases was 494, which makes up the black subsample. (BLKDUM)

Normed for a mean of 1.00 and a total of 2081.0 (to match the raw "N"). DESWT was multiplied by PSWT1 to get the unnormed version of FINALWT. This weight is included for completeness. If one desires to poststratify based on a combination of variables other than agegroup by gender, one would create a new weight in the place of PSWT1 and use that to create the new "final" weight. (PSWT1)

207) TOTAL WEIGHT: Final weight multiplicatively "correcting" for both design and sampling related components and to recover the age by gender distribution.

208) LANGUAGE RESTRICTION: Cases where it appeared an interview would have to be done in Spanish were split off into a special "Spanish queue" for handling by multilingual interviewers. If these were later determined NOT to require Spanish, they were restored. This variable operates also as dummy for whether the interview was conducted in Spanish. Note that the latter is not a perfect indication of which language a given question was asked in, since interviewers had the operation of "toggling back and forth" between Spanish and English.
