  • Derivation of data:
    This variable contains information about the number of household members belonging to the ALLBUS population in the year of the survey. Until 1990, ALLBUS targeted all adult German citizens living in private households. As of 1991, adult foreign residents were also included in the target population. Due to differences in the sampling procedures, household samples and samples of individuals use different rules for who counts as an adult in the total population. With household samples, the person to be interviewed is only chosen at the time of the actual interview. Therefore, the ALLBUS household samples (1980-1992 and 1998) comprise all members of a given household who were at least 18 years old at the time of the interview.
    With samples of individuals (1994, 1996 and 2000-2014), on the other hand, the targeted respondents are chosen ahead of the actual interview. Consequently, ALLBUS samples of individuals use 1 January of the survey year as the deadline to determine whether an individual is to be regarded as an adult for the purpose of the sample.
    Using slightly varying formulations, this data was surveyed directly in 1980, 1982, 1988 and 1990. In 1984, 1986 and as of 1991 the data was derived from the information provided in the list of household members. The difference in sampling procedures was taken into account.

  • Mit der Allgemeinen Bevölkerungsumfrage der Sozialwissenschaften (ALLBUS) werden aktuelle Daten über Einstellungen, Verhaltensweisen und Sozialstruktur der Bevölkerung in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland erhoben. Seit 1980 wird alle zwei Jahre ein repräsentativer Querschnitt der Bevölkerung mit einem teils konstanten, teils variablen Fragenprogramm befragt. Die Daten stehen unmittelbar nach ihrer benutzergerechten Aufbereitung und Dokumentation allen Interessenten für Forschung und Lehre zur Verfügung. (de)
