Description:
The 2000 Pilot Study was a 14-minute telephone interview, yielding 424
completed interviews. The full study commenced on April 3, 2000 and
was completed on May 14, 2000. Specific topic areas in the study
include: (1) social trust, general and domain specific, (2) trust in elections,
(3) civic engagement, and (4) a new method for measuring social desirability
norms. The use of the CATI enabled a number of experimental treatments
within the survey instrumentation, including random assignment of questions
in specific batteries and random form generation.
Design Features: Pilot study respondents were previously interviewed
as part of the 1998 Post Election Study. The 2000 Pilot Study dataset
includes all variables from the 1998 interview. The sample was stratified on
political information. The sampling fraction for the stratum was proportional
to predicted response rate.
