Click on "Abst" to view an abstract for a dataset.
The dataset links labeled
"Quick Tables"
use a simplified user interface for generating
basic crosstabulations (from a pre-selected subset of the
variables in the study).
The other dataset links use the standard SDA interface (4.0 or 3.5 version).
SDA 4.0 Now Available for Almost All Datasets
In addition to the older SDA 3.5 interface,
the new SDA 4.0 user interface is now available for
almost all of the datasets in our archive.
The links below indicate which SDA version they use.
Note that the 4.0 dataset links use the same workspace
for new variables (created by RECODE or COMPUTE) as the 3.5 interface.
This means you can create variables using either the 3.5 or 4.0
interface and use these variables with either interface.
For video tutorials on using SDA 4.0 see the
SDA YouTube Channel.
If you experience problems with the SDA 4.0 user interface, please try clearing your browser's cache.
SDA Update: All datasets on the SDA Archive page that use SDA 4.0 have now been updated to use 4.0.3.
Enhancements that have been made since the initial release of 4.0 include:
- Percentiles Added to MEANS
An option was added to calculate and display a specified percentile
(from the 1st to the 99th percentile) of the dependent variable in each cell.
- Charts Added to REGRESS and LOGIT
A chart showing the values of the regression coefficients and their confidence
intervals can be displayed.
- Drag and drop from the variable tree to input text boxes
You can drag and drop a variable from the variable tree to an input field
on a form. (Note that although the variables in the tree display both the variable's
name and the label, only the variable name will be "dropped" into the input field.)
- Right-click on variable tree to view variable description
You can right-click on a variable in the tree to bring up a context menu where
you can click on "View variable" to view a description of the variable's contents.
- Bar charts added to "View variable" output
When a frequency distribution is displayed (for variables with 256 or fewer categories)
each category is now displayed with a horizontal bar to show the relative size of the
percent of cases falling into each category.
General Social Surveys (GSS)
April 6, 2017: The GSS Cumulative Datafile 1972-2016 has been added below.
Please note that this is a preliminary version in that it does not yet contain the text of the questions
that were added in 2016. Also, all the variables that were added in 2016 are currently in a
single group at the bottom of the variable "tree" in the user interface.
