• catalog abstract "The respondents for this study were interviewed in a sample of 108 congressional districts after the 1978 congressional elections. The sample was a probability sample of both United States citizens and congressional districts but did not permit estimates of each district's constituency. The 1978 American National Election Study is the first to be conducted under a grant from the National Science Foundation (grant #SOC 77-0888) providing long-term support for the American national elections studies. The primary objective of this survey was to analyze the attitudes and behavior of the American electorate in the context of the 1978 congressional elections. Major emphasis was placed on respondents' evaluations of their district's candidates--both the incumbent and opponent--along several dimensions. They were asked to assess the candidates in terms of their issue-orientations, performance in office, behavior during the campaign, and ability to represent the interests of the constituency. Derived variables have been created which will allow the user to analyze Democratic and Republican candidates and incumbents separately. As in the past, the study included a series of questions on the media coverage of the campaigns and scales that measured the respondents' positions on major social issues--including urben unrest, protection of the rights of the accused, aid to minority groups, government insurance plan, and women's role in society. The perceived position of the political parties, as well as certain political leaders, on these issues was also ascertained. In addition to the survey data, the 1978 election study also contains several contextual components that have been added to the respondents' file. These data consist of: 1) Historical Election Returns at the state, congressional district, and county levels for elections to the offices of President, governor, United States Senator and Representative, 1972-1976, 2) 1978 Election Returns for primary and general elections to the same offices and including precinct level returns as well, 3) Voter validation variables, 4) Information about media structure in respondents' locale, 5) Incumbent characteristics, including information pertaining to the incumbent United States Representatives of the 95th Congress from the 108 congressional districts sampled in the survey (a major feature of this component is a series of performance ratings that each member of Congress received from certain interest groups and from the Congressional Quarterly), 6) Candidate characteristics which apply to the Democratic and Republican candidates for the office of United States Representative in the 1978 general elections (the latter data were obtained from a 1978 candidate questionnaire that was administered by Congressional Quarterly, Inc.),".
