Datasett: Northern Ireland Life and Times Survey, 2006

Sammendrag

The Northern Ireland Life and Times Survey (NILT) series began in 1998, and was the successor to the previous Northern Ireland Social Attitudes series, (held at the UK Data Archive under SN 33235), which was discontinued in 1996. The aims of the NILT series are:

  • to monitor public attitudes towards social policy and political issues in Northern Ireland
  • to provide a time series on attitudes to key social policy areas
  • to facilitate academic social policy analysis
  • to provide a freely available resource on public attitudes for the wider community of users in Northern Ireland
NILT originally had a companion series which also began in 1998, the Young Life and Times Survey (YLT - see under SN 33313), although the methodology changed in 2003 (see SN 4826). NILT also forms part of the International Social Survey Programme (ISSP), although it does not do so every year.

No NILT 2011:
Unfortunately, the NILT team were unable to obtain full funding to run NILT in 2011, therefore there is no 2011 survey. However, funding for the 2012 and 2013 surveys has been secured. (The Young Life and Times Survey (YLT) ran as normal in 2011.)

Further information about the NILT series may be found on the NILT pages on the ARK (Access Research Knowledge) web site.

Please note that all analyses of the adult data should be weighted in order to allow for disproportionate household size. The weighting variable is called WTFACTOR. The only exceptions are the few household variables (for example, tenure and household income), which do not need to be weighted.

Renseoperasjoner

The data were processed to the UK Data Archive's 'A*' standard. This is the Archive's highest standard, and means that an extremely rigorous and comprehensive series of checks was carried out to ensure the quality of the data and documentation. Briefly, the most important procedures were as follows. Firstly, checks were made that the number of cases and variables matched the depositor's records. Secondly, checks were made that all variables had comprehensible variable labels and all nominal (categorical) variables had comprehensible value labels. Where possible, either with reference to the documentation and/or in communication with the depositor, labels were accordingly edited or created. Thirdly, logical checks were performed to ensure that nominal (categorical) variables had values within the range defined (either by value labels or in the depositor's documentation). Lastly, any data or documentation that breached confidentiality rules were altered or suppressed to preserve anonymity.

Categorisation of Religion:

Within the study user guide there is a list of 'other variables on the dataset'. This includes the variable RELIGCAT, which categorises the variable RELIGION into 3 groups: Catholic, Protestant and No religion. The original RELIGION variable has been removed from the dataset in order to protect anonymity of respondents. The Protestant category within the RELIGCAT variable was created by grouping together the following denominations: Church of Ireland/Anglican/Episcopal Baptist Methodist Presbyterian Free Presbyterian Brethren United Reform Church (URC)/Congregational Pentecostal Church of Scotland Elim Pentecostal Reformed Presbyterian Non-subscribing Presbyterian Salvation Army Church of Nazarene Jehovah’s Witness Mormon Evangelical Metropolitan Seventh Day Adventist Quaker Protestant – no denomination Christian – no denomination.
