  • Description of variable:
    Combined weight for analyses of German population as a whole on household-level:

    - transforms data from person samples to household-level
    - adjusts for the East German oversample
    (de)
  • Note:
    Transformation of Person Sample Data to Household-Level Data

    The ALLBUS surveys in 1994 and 1996 and those in 2000 and following years were conducted on the basis of a person sample. These samples show a design bias favouring larger households and must consequently be weighted when performing analyses targeting household-level attributes like household income, etc. For separate analyses of the East and West German subsamples please use wghtht. Household-level analyses of the sample as a whole should be weighted by wghthtow, which also adjusts for the overrepresentation of East German respondents. The weighting factors in wghthtow are calculated as the product of wghtht (transformation weight) and wghthow (household-level East-West-weight).

    The household-level East-West-weight wghthow can also be used if only data from samples of households is concerned (ALLBUS 1980 to 1992 and ALLBUS 1998). The weighting factors will adjust for the overrepresentation of East German households so that the data can be treated as representative of total Germany.

    Application of weights:

    Analysis of person-related data:
    - separate for East and West Germany: wghtpt
    - Germany as a whole: wghtptow

    Analysis of household-related data:
    - separate for East and West Germany: wghtht
    - Germany as a whole: wghthtow

?:groupDescription
  • 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)
  • The German General Social Survey (ALLBUS) collects up-to-date data on attitudes, behavior, and social structure in Germany. Every two years since 1980 a representative cross section of the population is surveyed using both constant and variable questions. The ALLBUS data become available to interested parties for research and teaching as soon as they are processed and documented. (en)
