INTRODUCTION

Introduction to the General Social Survey (GSS)

The General Social Survey (sometimes, General Social Surveys) is a series of nationally representative cross-

sectional interviews in the United States that have occurred since 1972. The GSS collects data on contemporary

American society to monitor and explain trends in opinions, attitudes, and behaviors. The GSS has adapted

questions from earlier surveys, thereby allowing researchers to conduct comparisons for up to 80 years. Originally

proposed and developed by James A. Davis, the GSS has been administered by NORC at the University of Chicago

(NORC) and funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) since its inception. Currently, the GSS is designed

by a set of Primary Investigators (PIs), with input from the GSS Board, comprised of notable researchers within

the scientific community.

The GSS contains a standard core of demographic, behavioral, and attitudinal questions, plus topics of special

interest. Among the topics covered are civil liberties, crime and violence, intergroup tolerance, morality, national

spending priorities, psychological well-being, social mobility, and stress and traumatic events. Altogether, the GSS

is the single best source for sociological and attitudinal trend data covering the United States. It allows researchers

to examine the structure and functioning of society in general, as well as the role played by relevant subgroups

and to compare the United States to other nations. The GSS aims to make high-quality data easily accessible to

scholars, students, policymakers, and others, with minimal cost and waiting.

The GSS has been tracking trends in public opinion since 1972. Throughout, the GSS has taken great care to keep

the survey methodology as comparable over time as possible, which includes everything from keeping the same

sampling approach to not changing question wording. This is done to minimize potential changes due to changes

in methodology and support the study of trends in public opinion in the United States over time. However, due to

the global COVID19 pandemic, the 2021 GSS Cross-section implemented significant methodological adaptions for

the safety of respondents and interviewers, most notably shifting to an address-based sampling with push to web

and a web self-administered questionnaire. The 2022 GSS Cross-section bridges the traditional face-to-face data

collection of the GSS from 1972-2018 with the web-based collection of 2021, keeping many of the questionnaire

changes brought about by the new mode, while reverting to a mixed mode data collection that include face to face,

web and telephone. The 2022 GSS was designed to facilitate a comparison to the 2018 GSS; that is, the 2022 study

aimed to resemble the 2018 GSS. Additionally, the 2022 GSS retained several methodological experiments

conducted in the 2021 GSS that are specific to the web mode. The 2022 GSS is the first round of a multi-round

transition to a mixed-mode survey, fielded both face-to-face and via web self-administered questionnaire.

In 2022 the GSS conducted a methodological experiment to (1) help bridge the 2018 and 2021 data with future

rounds of the GSS and (2) to help rein in growing costs associated with conducting the more traditional in person

field study. The experiment divided the 2022 GSS sample into two conditions. The first condition contacted

sampled households for an in-person field interview first (as has been traditionally done in the GSS) and then

nonrespondents were encouraged to take the survey using a web alternative. In the second condition, sampled

households were presented with a web survey first and then nonrespondents were approached to participated in

an in-person field interview. Details on this experiment are below but the overall goal of the experiment was to

allow analysts to be able to parse out selection into mode differences from potential effects of the mode the survey

was completed in. For more information, see

DESIGN GOALS OF THE 2018-2024 GSS AND TRANSITION

EXPERIMENTS.

CODEBOOK | 2

The GSS comprises a core set of items (the Replicating Core) that are repeated every round, as well as topical

modules, which may or may not be repeated. The GSS is currently composed of three separate ballots (A, B, and

C), as well as two separate forms (X and Y), which allow for up to six different paths through the interview itself (in

addition to paths determined by respondent answers, such as questions about spouses or partners, or questions

on employment). Not every question in the Replicating Core is asked of every respondent; most only appear on

two of the three ballots. However, every item in the Replicating Core overlaps on at least one ballot with every other

item in the Replicating Core, ensuring that researchers can estimate inter-item correlations. Forms are used for

experiments such as wording variations within questions, ensuring that half of the respondents on each ballot see

the2xperimenttal or control conditions of each relevant variable. Within the GSS, these form experiments are

usually assigned mnemonics that end in -X or -Y, corresponding to FORM (i.e., 1 and 2).

Topical modules are typically assigned to either two full ballots (e.g., A and B) or one full ballot and one half-ballot

(e.g., A and BX), covering two-thirds or half of sample respondents, respectively. However, some topical modules

are included on all ballots. Modules are usually assigned to specific ballots based on one of two conditions: overlap

with other key questions (either ensuring that respondents to specific items also receive specific modules or that

respondents to specific items do not receive specific modules), or time constraints. The GSS tries to balance the

length of all six paths to be approximately equal. Topical modules may be administered via interviewer in any mode

or completed by self-administered questionnaire, depending on the sensitivity of the items included.

Topical modules come from several different sources. While the GSS broadly is funded by NSF, individual modules

may be sponsored by other government agencies, universities, research institutes, or individuals. The GSS typically

includes modules every round that are related to the International Social Survey Programme (ISSP

), a consortium

of national-level studies like the GSS (for more information, see Introduction to the International Social Survey

Programme, below). Finally, modules may be solicited by the GSS Scientific Advisory Board or the Principal

Investigators and can be included based on scientific merits and available time in the interview. The number of

GSS modules varies by year.

Additionally, the GSS has implemented experimental designs over time or through collaborations (for instance,

supporting other studies such as the National Organization Studies, National Congregations Study, National

Voluntary Associations Study, and the 2016-2020 General Social Survey-American National Election Studies (GSS-

ANES) Panel), which have led to several ancillary datasets.

Introduction to the International Social Survey Programme (ISSP)

The ISSP is a consortium of nationally representative research studies, like the GSS, who have all agreed to ask

questions on the same topics on an annual basis. It emerged out of bilateral collaboration with NORC and the

German organization Zentrum für Umfragen, Methoden, und Analysen (ZUMA; now part of GESIS-Leibniz Institute

of the Social Sciences). Starting in 1982, each organization devoted a small segment of their national surveys,

ALLBUS and GSS, to a common set of questions. The ISSP was formally established in 1984 by Australia, Germany,

Great Britain, and the United States, and it now has 42 member countries across five continents and collects data

in 70 countries. NORC represents the United States as a country in the ISSP.

ISSP modules have several defining criteria:

• Modules are developed in English and translated to every administered language.

• Modules must contain approximately 60 questions and can be supplemented by optional items, as well as

around 40 items on background and demographic characteristics.

CODEBOOK | 3

• Modules must contain the same items across all languages and studies, asked in the same order, with minor

variations to account for mode differences or regional differences.

• Each topical module must be administered within a relatively narrow time frame, usually about 18 months

from the start of the relevant year.

ISSP Modules are currently replicated every 10 years, allowing for topics to be studied as both a multinational

snapshot at a single point in time as well as a slowly evolving repeated cross-section of national opinions. While

not every topic is repeated, the longest-running module is up to its fifth replication. ISSP rules require that when a

topic is repeated, at least two-thirds of the questions must be repeated from a previous round, while up to one-

third can be new questions.

Since 1985, the ISSP topics have included:

Role of Government

1985, 1990, 1996, 2006, 2016

Social Networks

1986, 2001, 2017

Study Overview

This codebook focuses on the 2022 GSS Cross-section survey. While this iteration of the Cross-section has

meaningful changes from previous editions, there is much that remains consistent. Just as was done since 2004,

the GSS Cross-section survey administers a full-probability sample approach with samples created from an

adapted form of the United States Postal Service (USPS) metropolitan statistical area (MSA)/county frame area.

More on the GSS conventional design can be found on pages 3177–3178 of the legacy cumulative codebook,

available at the GSS website.

The GSS has been conducted since 1972 and currently functions as a social indicators program, which highly

values historical trends and continuity. To that end, the GSS’s replicating core contains items that have been asked

since its inception. In some cases, these items were asked on even older surveys, allowing for continuous

measurement of concepts since the 1940s.

GSS variables appear at three different frequencies. Items in the Replicating Core, Household Composition, and

Contact/Validation typically appear every year and are rarely altered (although, in 2022, they feature modification

for the web mode). Items in some topical modules, such as ISSP modules, can appear in multiple years, but not

every year. Finally, items on the rest of the topical modules typically only appear in a single year. In the 2022 GSS,

the ISSP Family and Gender Roles, ISSP Health and Health Care, Shared Capitalism, NIOSH Quality of Working Life,

National Endowment for the Arts and High-Risk Behaviors modules are repeats from previous years. It is important

to note that important updates to questions were made to National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), Shared

Capitalism, and NIOSH QWL. The module named GSS Next is a board-initiated module that has a combination of

old and new GSS variables. The NEA and GSS Next modules were conducted as web-only follow-on interviews.

For more information on these, please see Follow-on Studies

The 2022 GSS Cross-section includes the following Topical Modules (some of which include updates and

modifications to previously fielded modules):

• ISSP Family and Changing Gender Roles: This module has previously been asked four times, beginning in 1988.

It focuses on attitudes and opinions on family life and changing gender roles. Like all ISSP modules, two-thirds

of the items are repeats from previous rounds, while one-third are new items.

• ISSP Health and Health Care: This module has previously been asked once in 1988. It focuses on attitudes and

opinions on mental health, physical health, and health care. Like all ISSP modules, two-thirds of the items are

repeats from previous rounds, while one-third are new items.

• Shared Capitalism: This module has previously been asked two times, beginning in 2014, and included revisions

in 2022. It focuses on individual’s employer ownership (such as owning stock in the company where they work)

and attitudes on work-based incentives. This module was proposed by Joseph Blasi at Rutgers University.

• NIOSH Quality of Working Life: This module has previously been asked five times, beginning in 2002. It focuses

on individual’s work experiences and attitudes on work behaviors. The 2022 module includes revisions and

additions to previous modules. This module was proposed by the National Institute for Occupational Safety

and Health.

• National Endowment for the Arts (NEA): This is module was previously asked in 2012 and 2018, and in 2022

was asked with updates as a follow-on module to the GSS, asking questions about changes in individual’s

recreational activities before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. This module was proposed by the National

Endowment for the Arts.

CODEBOOK | 5

• High-risk Behaviors: High Risk Behaviors, developed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC),

is a self-administered module that has been in use with modifications since 1988. It includes items on recent

sexual history as well as sexual history since the age of 18, as well as drug use, HIV testing, and sexual

orientation.

• GSS Next: This module is a board-initiated follow-on module which combines several different sources of

questions, including topics and items proposed to the GSS via a Module Competition in 2021; items proposed

by the GSS Board for inclusion, and methodological and question wording experiments designed by NORC.

Datafile Overview

Available datafiles for the 2022 GSS include:

• GSS 1972-2022 Cross-Sectional Cumulative Data (Release 3, April 2024) in Stata and SAS

• Individual Year Data for the 2022 GSS in Stata and SAS

• Customized data extracts in Stata, SAS, and SPSS created using the GSS Data Explorer

The SPSS version of the GSS data is not currently supported. Users can still use the GSS data in SPSS by

importing the Stata data file in SPSS. However, SPSS users should be aware that all missing values (DK, NA, IAP,

and other missing values) will be automatically recoded to SYSMIS (.) in SPSS after importing. Alternatively,

NORC previously reported the 2022 GSS Cross-section as 50.5% which used WTSSNRPS. This decrease in reported

response rate reflects adjustments related the new weight incorporating the AmeriSpeak® sample via WTSSNRPS_AS.

Fielding in most locations concluded on December 12, 2022, and was kept open in one location until January 8, 2023 to

NOTE ON MEASUREMENT AND INTERPRETATION

The GSS has been tracking trends in public opinion since 1972. Over this time, the GSS has taken great care to

keep the survey methodology as comparable over time as possible, which includes everything from keeping the

same sampling approach to not changing question wording. This is done to minimize potential changes due to

methodology and to support the study of changes in public opinion in the United States.

In 2022 the GSS conducted a methodological experiment to: 1) help bridge the 2018 and 2021 data with future

rounds of the GSS, and 2) to help rein in growing costs associated with conducting an in-person field study. The

experiment divided the 2022 GSS sample into two conditions. The first condition contacted sampled households

for an in-person field interview first (as has been traditionally done in the GSS) and then nonrespondents were

offered a web option. In the second condition, sampled households were presented with a web survey first and

then nonrespondents were approached to participate in an in-person field interview. Details on this experiment are

below, but the overall goal of the experiment was to allow analysts to be able to parse out experimental allocation

into data collection approaches. While the 2022 GSS experiment was not set up to directly compare modes

(instead, it was set up to compare data collection approaches), users are encouraged to check for mode

sensitivities, comparing cases completed in different modes. The current release does not include mode-specific

statistical weights; thus, mode-specific inferential statistics are not currently supported. Future GSS are expected

to release mode-specific weights to support population inferences. This release includes weights intended for all

cases to support population inferences.

Total Survey Error Perspective for GSS Trend Estimates

When evaluating the GSS for trend changes over time, we caution our users to carefully consider changes in the

GSS methodology from a total survey error perspective. Total survey error is a way of comprehending the impact

on estimates due to measurement, non-response, coverage, and sampling error. Below, we provide a high-level

summary of the components of the total survey error and how they could impact trend comparisons – especially

between 2018 and the present.

Measurement Error: Changes in how survey questions were administered can impact the answers. The GSS has

traditionally been conducted in person and administered by an interviewer. In 2021, due to the COVID-19 pandemic,

the GSS needed to administer survey questions primarily over the web without any interviewer assistance. Some

changes were needed in the measures, due to mode of administration. For example, “Don’t Know” response

categories were included for factual questions, but they were not displayed for opinion questions. In the past, Don’t

Knows could be recorded by interviewers regardless of whether they were factual or opinion questions. In 2022,

these modifications were also present in the web mode, while the face-to-face mode used measures as they were

designed for the 2018 GSS. These changes in measurement can be evaluated using the 2022 experimental data

which combines in-person, web and telephone administration.

Non-response Error: Historically, the GSS has achieved high response rates well above 50 percent, mostly because

in-person surveys can attain higher response rates. The 2021 GSS was conducted using a mail invite to push the

respondent to the web. The 2021 GSS Cross-section response rate is 17 percent (which is still high for web

surveys). Differential participation rates across selected GSS participants in 2021 relative to previous years could

also contribute to a change in estimates. To help control for this concern, the GSS implemented an adjustment to

known population totals for the 2021 Cross-section round based on a raking approach (i.e., post-stratification

weighting) to ensure the weighted totals in the 2021 GSS Cross-section sample are as close as possible to the

control totals from the U.S. Census Bureau estimates by education, sex, age, region of the country, race, and

CODEBOOK | 9

ethnicity. In the 2022 GSS the response rate increased to 50.5 percent and the post-stratification raking weights

have been created for the GSS survey cumulative file from 1972–present to attempt to reduce potential non-

response error differences over time as response rates in surveys have declined.

Coverage Error: Coverage error can arise from how well adults living in selected households are enumerated to

represent the general adult population. If a household enumeration method adopted in a survey consistently

misses eligible household members (e.g., roommates or borders), it can result in coverage error (under- coverage).

And over-coverage can result if an ineligible person (someone living in a college dorm or someone living in an

assisted living facility) or the same person is counted in more than one household. In 2021, the GSS had to change

how it rostered and ultimately estimated adults residing in a household. Typically, household rosters have been

used in the in-person methodology to randomly select one adult in the household to complete the survey. That is,

in previous years the GSS has instructed interviewers to complete an initial household enumeration form to collect

some basic data on everyone residing in a household and then randomly chose one adult with whom to complete

the main interview. In the 2021 GSS such a household enumeration was not possible up front, and the GSS

instructed selected households to identify the adult with the most recent birthday and to report the number of

adults living in the household. It is possible that respondent selection may have happened at the household level

or missed some household residents (for instance, people abroad, adult children living at home, etc.). Informed by

both data collection in 2021 and an internal pilot conducted by the GSS project team prior to fielding the 2022 GSS,

changes were made to reduce burden when completing the household enumeration process. In 2022 an adult

living in the household was asked to list all adults living in the household and provide names and ages (as a

categorial range) for each adult. This streamlined roster was then used to randomly select the respondent for each

household, determined by Kish number and position of the adult on the household roster. The GSS team is actively

conducting research to assess the impact of household enumeration and selection methods to achieve adequate

coverage of the US adult population.

Sampling Error: The 2022 GSS Cross-section relies on scientific sampling to allow for the calculation of sampling

error (i.e., margin of error). As in any scientific sample, any one trend from year to year can be impacted by the fact

we only observed a sample and not the entire population. The dataset contains survey design variables (clusters,

strata, and weights) to account for the complex survey sample design. And it is possible that our trend estimates

are off by a sampling or “margin of error” between any given set of years. It is essential, therefore, to control for

sampling error by conducting tests of significance for trend differences estimates.

Mode: GSS data users should use caution when analyzing any variables by mode of survey (MODE). Basic mode

analyses may find differences between individual modes; however, the weights included in the current release do

not support single-mode analyses. The current weights are provided to support inferential statistics using all

cases. (The GSS team is working on developing mode specific weights for future data releases.) While observed

differences between modes may suggest mode sensitivities, these are not true “mode effects.” The mode of

completion for a respondent is determined by a number of factors, including the modes available to the

respondent, the mode initially assigned to a household (see

Experiment), the use of nonresponse follow-up

approaches, and measurement differences related to different modes.

DESIGN GOALS OF THE 2018-2024 GSS AND TRANSITION EXPERIMENTS

The 2022 GSS was proposed with a well-understood experimental design that would aid in the transition from a

traditionally face-to-face study to a multimode one, to employ modern data collection tools and collect data more

cost effectively. This design made the 2022 GSS data collection more efficient and allowed for respondents to

have more flexibility in how they preferred to complete the survey. This transition will continue forward into the

2024 GSS, which will employ a similar experimental design.

These changes come in the wake of the 2021 GSS Cross-section, which was fielded primarily via a web self-

administered questionnaire. At the time, the web-based data collection was the only way that NORC could ensure

the safety of all respondents and project staff, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Changes in trends from the 2021

GSS Cross-section could have several potential sources, including both mode effects and genuine social change,

with no clear way to disentangle those effects beyond specific item-level experiments on the survey (see the

volunteered response and grid experiments for more information).

The 2022 the GSS conducted a methodological experiment to: 1) help enumerate potential mode effects to bridge

the 2018 and 2021 data with future rounds of the GSS, and 2) to help rein in growing costs associated with

conducting an in-person field study. The experiment divided the 2022 GSS sample into two conditions. The first

condition contacted sampled households for an in-person field interview first (as has been traditionally done in the

GSS) and then nonrespondents were offered a web option. In the second condition, sampled households were

presented with a web survey first and then nonrespondents were approached to participated in an in-person field

interview. Details on this experiment are below, but the overall goal of the experiment was to allow analysts to be

able to parse out selection into mode differences from potential effects of the mode the survey was completed

in.

The 2022 GSS Cross-section bridges the traditional face-to-face data collection of the GSS from 1972–2018 with

the web-based collection of 2021, keeping many of the questionnaire changes brought about by the new mode,

while reverting to a four-stage cluster sample for both the web and face-to-face modes of data collection. The

2022 GSS, thus, resembles both the 2018 GSS (in terms of sampling strategy and respondent selection) and the

2021 GSS (in terms of questionnaire design and certain experiments). The 2022 GSS is the first round of a multi-

round transition to a mixed-mode survey, fielded both face-to-face and via web self-administered questionnaire.

The 2022 GSS, however, reverses some of those changes, most notably by providing an option for face-to-face

data collection. In this manner, the 2022 GSS allows researchers to bridge the 2018–2022 GSS rounds, by

providing comparisons with the face-to-face data from 2018 as well as with the web self-administered data from

2021. The 2022 data, in essence, are essential for understanding both the 2018 and 2021 rounds of the GSS. NORC

recognizes this fact, and feels it is important to release these data to the public as early as possible, in this

preliminary release format. Changes in trends, especially in variables that show sensitivity to mode of

administration, were anticipated and are not a cause for concern. Sensitivity to mode has been present in the GSS

data since the start – as well as a feature of all other survey data. The 2022 GSS changed the design to be able to,

for the first time, enumerate the mode effects associated with the primary face to face design the GSS had

employed since 1972. The experiment was carefully designed to be able to estimate the mode effects and allow

for harmonized time series to be created for 1972–2022.

Finally, while some degree of mode sensitivity was expected, NORC could not be certain in advance which

variables might show mode sensitivity and require further analysis. The only way to fully understand and control

for these mode sensitivities is to collect and work with the data, and NORC recognizes that we are only one part

of the full GSS community. To that end, we are releasing the data, including mode-sensitive variables, so that the

CODEBOOK | 12

community of researchers and scientists involved with the GSS can also understand the scale and breadth of the

issue, and work with NORC to develop a strong shared understanding of the issues and how best to present them

to the general public. Decisions like these should be made in collaborative environments, rather than solely under

NORC’s purview, and the data release represents the first step of that process.

The GSS research team and NORC will work with the broader community to develop consensus around the optimal

way to generate harmonized time series for all GSS variables, as well as face-to-face only time series, and

beginning with the 2024 data, web-only time series.

DESIGN OF THE 2022 GSS CROSS-SECTION

The GSS made implemented a methodological experiment in the 2022 Cross-section survey, compared with

previous GSS Cross-section studies. The methods experiment relates to shifts in the mode of data collection, and

this section explains the experiment in detail. Most notably, the 2022 GSS Cross-section is a multi-mode study,

with respondents assigned to one of two conditions -- a face-to-face interview first (followed by a self-

administered web survey for nonrespondents), or a web self-administered questionnaire first (followed by a face-

to-face interview for nonrespondents).

Summary of major changes

There are several major methodological changes in the 2022 GSS Cross-section:

Contact protocol: The 2022 GSS Cross-section used an experimental multimode

design, allowing for a mail push-to-web respondent methodology in addition to in-

person visits to collect data.

Respondent selection: The 2022 GSS Cross-section uses a modified respondent selection

procedure of rostering all adults in the household and respondent selection via the Kish grid.

Survey mode: The 2022 GSS Cross-section uses the in person face-to-face interview, telephone

interview, and self-administered as a part of the multimode design.

Follow-on Studies: The 2022 GSS Cross-section included two follow-on studies which eligible

respondents could complete. These follow-ons added items on a variety of topics to the GSS.

Oversample: In addition to the nationally representative sample, the 2022 GSS Cross-section

includes an oversample of Black, Hispanic, and Asian respondents, obtained from the NORC

AmeriSpeak® Panel, which utilizes the same national sampling frame as the GSS. These

respondents were not eligible for the follow-on studies. These cases are included in the current

release in the single-year file, not the GSS 1972-2022 Cumulative file.

Each of these changes has consequences for the 2022 GSS Cross-section. These changes are

discussed below.

Multimode Experimental Design (Contact Protocol and Survey Mode)

To accomplish data collection during the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2021 GSS implemented a mail push-to-web

methodology in-place of a face-to-face interview (supplemented by a small number of telephone interviews) given

health and safety concerns for both field interviewers and respondents. With pandemic conditions improving into

2022, the GSS desired to scientifically evaluate the addition of web as a new mode of data collection to help

supplement traditional face-to-face interviews to reduce costs, increase sample sizes, and improve data quality.

We wanted to explore the web mode while preserving the primary mode of data collection, face-to-face

interviewing. To do this we introduced an experimental multimode design to explore whether we could realize cost

CODEBOOK | 14

savings while providing respondents with a mode that best meets their needs and helping achieve a high response

rate.

The 2022 GSS allowed data collection in three modes: face-to-face interviewing, web survey, and telephone

interviewing. 94.2% of respondents completed in a single data collection mode, while the remaining 5.8%

completed in two or more modes. The variable MODE tracks mode of survey completion, while INITIALMODE

tracks initial mode of survey assignment. Specific mode checks throughout the interview will be included in the

paradata file.

To evaluate differential multimode designs, NORC conducted a multimode experiment randomly assigning sample

cases to one of two multimode sequences: (1) face-to-face with a push-to-web non-response follow-up and (2)

mail push-to-web with a face-to-face non-response follow-up (with both conditions using telephone methods to

encourage participation and supplement data collection). Both conditions were administered concurrently

allowing us to scientifically compare the two conditions. More details on this experiment are available in

Mode

Assignment and Non-response Follow-up Experiment.

Respondent Selection

In previous rounds of the GSS, respondents were selected via quota (1972-1976), Kish grid with age ordering

(1975-2018), or last birthday (2021). The 2022 GSS cross-section shifts to a Kish grid without age ordering, where

the positions of adults in the household for the Kish grid are determined by their order in the household roster, not

their age. This change is the result of two major developments in 2022. First, the GSS team, alongside experts in

the field, uncovered correlations between Kish assignment and assignment of ballot and form in the 2010, 2012,

2016, and 2018 GSS Cross-sections (see Methodological Report 134

for more details), which were in part

exacerbated by the age ordering effects. Second, the GSS shifted the administration of the household enumeration

form from a paper copy to a digital one. As a result, programmatic selection rather than interviewer-aided rostering

was used for identification of the within-household respondents. Age ordering was previously used on paper

household rosters to control for interviewer influence on respondent selection i.e. potentially manipulating the

order of the household roster to select a more willing or eager respondent within the household. The age ordering

of the household roster was a visible control against such possibilities, but without a visible Kish grid assignment,

such precautions were no longer necessary.

Follow-on Studies

The 2022 GSS Cross-section included two additional follow-on studies. These studies were open to all GSS

respondents who were not part of the AmeriSpeak® Oversample (see next section), and who completed the

entirety of the GSS interview, through obtaining or declining consent for administrative record linkage. Each of

these follow-on studies was only available as a web self-administered questionnaire. The first follow-on, sponsored

by the National Endowment for the Arts, contained questions on arts participation and changes during the COVID-

19 pandemic. The second follow-on, GSS Next, contained items recommended by the GSS Scientific Advisory

Board, as well as experiments conducted by NORC. Key aspects of both studies are listed in Table 2 below.

Following 2022 GSS Cross-section Release 1, NORC discovered a programming error in the eligibility assignment

for both follow-on studies resulting in an error in reported number of eligible GSS baseline respondents. This

error impacted retention rates and cumulative response rates reported in Table 2, and the associated weights for

both follow-on studies (i.e., WTSSPS_NEA, WTSSNRPS_NEA, WTSSPS_NEXT, WTSSNRPS_NEXT). Users should

prioritize the use of the Release 2 weights for analysis of the follow-on variables.

The unweighted retention rate is the number of completes over the number of eligible respondents. We provide an

unweighted rate because only a portion of all GSS respondents were eligible for the follow-on studies given these studies

were completed before the end of 2022 GSS data collection. The weighted retention rates, 30.9% and 32.4% respectively,

include GSS respondents in the denominator that were ineligible for the follow-on.

The unweighted cumulative response rate is the product of the weighted GSS response rate (50.5%) and the unweighted

retention rate. The weighted cumulative response rate is calculated similarly using the weighted retention rate which

includes GSS respondents in the denominator that were ineligible for the follow-on (15.6% and 16.4%, respectively).

Oversample

This round of data collection included an oversample of AmeriSpeak® panelists from key demographic groups.

AmeriSpeak® is a nationally representative panel of survey respondents from households across the United States

created by NORC. Of invited panelists, the GSS aimed to complete 200 completes from three demographic groups:

Black, Asian, and Hispanic – for a total of 600 completed interviews. 2,396 panelists were invited to complete the

full 2022 General Social Survey web-based survey and a total of 605 interviews were completed the survey

between July 2022 and September 2022. Panelists were randomized to various ballot and form combinations

present on the GSS, but were not invited to complete additional follow-on studies. AmeriSpeak® oversample

respondents can be identified via the variable SAMPLE = 12 or the variable AMERSTATUS = 1. These cases are

included in the current data release but are not included in the GSS 1972-2022 Cumulative file at this time.

Based on preliminary analyses conducted in preparation for data release, we feel that the AmeriSpeak®

oversample offers improved representation for the three oversampled racial and ethnic groups considered. The

general U.S. population estimates including the AmeriSpeak® sample shift minimally from existing estimates

using only the 2022 baseline sample. Subpopulation estimates for Black, Hispanic, and Asian respondents will see

some change from baseline-only estimates due to increased sample sizes, improved sample representation, and

mode sensitivities given all AmeriSpeak® cases completed on the web. GSS Methodological Report 138

(forthcoming, expected April 2024) will have more details on the impact of adding AmeriSpeak® cases to the 2022

data. Researchers are encouraged to conduct their own research to determine the impacts of including the

AmeriSpeak® oversample. Based on additional analyses and feedback from other researchers, the AmeriSpeak®

cases may be fully incorporated in the Cumulative data file.

NOTES ON THE WEB MODE IN THE 2022 GSS

Web Mode Wording Changes

Since the 2022 GSS was conducted via a web-based questionnaire in addition to face-to-face, the study retains all

changes from the 2021 GSS Cross-section’s web mode design. As a result, respondents encounter slightly

different versions of items, depending on the mode in which they encounter the item. Web survey changes can

come in many different forms but follow a few distinct operating principles. The changes are intended to:

• Remove conversational language in wording where it was no longer appropriate (e.g., using a more neutral

“we” in the place of “I” and “me,” as referring to the interviewer in question stems).

• Standardize terminology where interviewers had chosen options as they saw fit (e.g., switching from

“Blacks/African Americans” in the question stem to “Blacks” or “Black people,” depending on the question).

• Reword questions for items in which interviewers could select appropriate language according to

information that they could observe but that was not yet recorded in the interview (e.g., reworking questions

which used the term husband/wife prior to asking about the sex of the respondent’s partner).

• Reword questions for items in which interviewers asked respondents open-ended questions but entered

the responses in a combination of open-ended and closed-ended items. These changes were mostly

confined to questions on Religion and Occupation/Industry.

The telephone instrument uses the same wording as the original face-to-face interview.

Don’t Know and No Answer Responses

In a face-to-face GSS interview, the interviewer does not show “Don’t Know” and “No Answer” response options to

respondents on hand cards or read those options to respondents. However, interviewers can code “Don’t Know”

or “No Answer” if a respondent did not wish to answer a question.

In keeping with this spirit, the GSS implemented a different design for “Don’t Know” and “No Answer” responses in

web mode to minimize the effect of making them visible to respondents on every item. The GSS web instrument

made the following modifications for self-administration:

• Removed all “No Answer”’ response options, instead letting respondents to skip questions

they did not wish to answer).

• Removed all “Don’t Know” response options for attitudinal questions.

• Displayed “Don’t Know” response options in light-grey text, separated from standard

responses, on all factual questions.

• “Don’t Know” responses were displayed for factual items only.

CODEBOOK | 18

For all data collected via the web self-administered questionnaire mode, the GSS uses “Skipped on Web” code

when a respondent skipped a question. These responses are separated from “No Answer,” which is used for the

face-to-face and phone modes. The 2022 GSS Cross-section Public Use File

shows tabulations and response

categories used in items across the 2022 GSS Cross-section. See Figure 2 for a screenshot example of an

implementation of a “Don’t Know” category.

An initial review of the 2022 data conducted by the NORC team during the production stage of the micro dataset

indicates that there has not been a meaningful increase in “Don’t Know” responses with this rendering method.

Rates of “Don’t Know” responses on factual items are consistent between phone and web modes. While certain

items do show high levels of “Don’t Know” responses (e.g., income, information related to parental work), both

modes typically show “Don’t Know” responses within a single percent of each other. However, this inspection

should be considered preliminary. Users are encouraged to conduct their own analyses.

We invite users to assess levels of item non-response for factual questions measured in years past. In fact, while

“Don’t Know” responses are typically within a percent of each other, the same may not be true for nearly every

other substantive response on factual items. For example, in the 2022 GSS Cross-section, 45.9% of respondents

in the face-to-face mode report that they are married, while 57.1% of respondents in the web mode report that they

are married.

This may be due to mode preference, respondent composition, or mode effect. We urge caution in

the interpretation of results between the two modes, as several hypotheses may explain these differences.

SEX

In face-to-face interviews, interviewers traditionally coded SEX based on interviewer observation. For cases which

were completed face-to-face or over the phone, observed sex is recorded as the variable SEX. In the web mode,

SEX is not asked explicitly of respondents.

The GSS Cross-section collects sex and gender identity as two separate items: sex recorded at birth (SEXBIRTH1)

and current gender identity (SEXNOW1). For the purpose of backward compatibility, the cross-section dataset

contains SEX, SEXBIRTH1, and SEXNOW1. For web respondents, SEX is based on a recode of SEXBIRTH1 and

SEXNOW1, and for other respondents, based on observation.

Optimization of Items for Web Mode

GSS staff have made many other small changes to accommodate the web mode, including changing how items

were presented to respondents visually by including buttons and colors for navigation, revising the sequence of

certain items, and adjusting the response options for others. In addition, the full questionnaire was optimized for

the most common web and smartphone browsers (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Internet Explorer, Edge, and Opera), as

well as various device types (desktop, laptop, tablet, smartphone). These changes, along with the rewording

changes, should not substantially affect how respondents answer questions and were mostly meant to minimize

“Don’t Know” and “No Answer” responses. For a full account of all changes, please compare questionnaire

documentation of the 2021 GSS Cross-section to previous iterations available on the GSS website.

USEFUL NOTES FOR WORKING WITH THE 2022 GSS CROSS-SECTION

Geography

Data Release 2 of the 2022 GSS Cross-section includes the traditional geographic information for the 2021 and

2022 rounds of the GSS: XNORCSIZ, SRCBELT, and SIZE. However, the methodology used to generate these

variables has changed slightly relative to previous releases of the GSS, due to a change in how these variables

have been processed. Previously, respondent addresses were geographically located within Census tracts, and

values were assigned for the entire tract based on the place or unincorporated area which contained the majority

or plurality of the tract’s inhabitants. In the 2021 and 2022 GSS, census tracts are coded based on the place

associated with the centroid of the tract, rather than the place with the highest share of population. If the tract

centroid does not match a place, then SIZE is calculated using Census County Divisions (CCD). If the tract contains

any incorporated place with a population larger than the CCD population, then that incorporated place is used in

lieu of the unincorporated area. Otherwise, SIZE is set equal to the total population of the CCD minus the population

of all incorporated places in the CCD.

Household Enumeration Form (HEF)/Household Composition

For many years, the GSS has used the respondent selection process to roster all members of the household and

any guests, and obtain additional information, including age (OLD1-14), sex (GENDER1-14), marital status if age

13 or older (MAR1-14), and information about their current presence in the household (AWAY1-14, WHERE1-14).

In addition to this information, the respondent select process, also called the Household Enumeration Form (HEF),

obtained information about the relationships between various household members, which were used to generate

relationship-specific variables such as RELATE1-14 and RELSP1-14.

During the design of the 2020 GSS, NORC decided to split the functions of the HEF into two separate components,

Respondent Selection and Household Composition. Respondent Selection uses a household informant, and

rosters adults in the household to determine the eligible respondent for the GSS. Household Composition,

meanwhile, is conducted as part of the interview, with the selected respondent. In the survey, it is located after the

GSS Core. Household Composition re-rosters the household and collects the member-by-member information

previously found in the HEF for all household members and guests. The GSS did not conduct face-to-face

interviews in 2020 and 2021, so the new Respondent Selection instrument was first implemented in 2022. The

revised Household Composition instrument was fielded as part of the 2021 GSS Cross-section.

As a result, the 2022 GSS contains the first instance of the fully redesigned Respondent Selection and Household

Composition philosophy. Respondent Selection and Household Composition are two independent components;

Respondent Selection asked before the start of the survey, and Household Composition asked during the main

survey, after the GSS Core. Because the household is not fully rostered for Respondent Selection, and is fully

rostered for Household Composition, the source of several historical GSS variables has shifted, and new variables

have been created to identify new sources of information. Respondent Selection contains much less information

about the household, typically only the number of adults in the household (ADULTS) as well as their age and current

presence in the household (AGEHEF1-14, AWAY1-14, WHERE1-14). The Household Composition section contains

the remaining information, including for children under 18. Respondent Selection represents the household for the

purposes of respondent selection, sampling, and weighting, while Household Composition attempts to represent

the household as a sociological unit.

CODEBOOK | 21

There are other notable changes in the split that resulted in separate Respondent Selection and Household

Composition sections in the 2022 GSS. First, there are separate and new variables for counts of people and adults

in the household, such as in the split between HOMPOP

H, the number of people in the household asked during the

screening, and HOMPOP, the number of people in the household asked during the household survey module.

Similarly, the same can be seen in the number of adults in household: ADULTS in Respondent Selection, and

ADULTS

INHH in the Household Composition module. There are also a few changes with informant and

respondent identity within the roster. RESPNUM

H has been created to identify the respondent’s number in family

when asked in the Respondent Selection, and RESPNUM reflects the Household Composition module. Last,

HEFINFO

1 is a new variable beginning with the 2022 GSS to reflect that the household informant will always be

the first position of the family. HEFINFO is available for GSS years 2018 and earlier. No information on the

household informant is available in 2021, as the 2021 GSS did not use a roster for respondent selection

The 2022 GSS also included an experimental version of Household Composition, designed to shorten the time of

administration for household enumeration, by collecting less detail on individual household members, while still

gathering rich information on relationships in the household. This new module resulted in new household

composition variables that include the suffix “_exp” if they are similar to the Traditional Household Composition

variable or have new mnemonics to represent a new questionnaire item. More information on the experimental

household composition module can be found under Household Composition

in the experiments section.

Industry and Occupation (I/O)

In the 2022 GSS, Industry and Occupation are captured through a series of open-ended questions, asking

respondents first the name of their job, then what they do, followed by the name of their company, and a

description of what the company does. This information, along with some other close-ended questions such as

educational attainment, are utilized to generate the values for OCC10 and INDUS10 (as well as the SP-, CO-, MA-

and PA- versions). NORC used the National Processing Center of the US Census Bureau to code occupation and

industry from the open-ended text. Unlike previous rounds of the GSS, which relied upon NORC’s in-house coders,

the NPC has strict character limits for processing responses. Any responses longer than the allowed limits were

manually truncated by NORC staff, highlighting what were believed to be either the main job of the respondent, or

the most recent one, in the case of retired respondents.

However, this process was not without issue. While respondents in the face-to-face condition had interviewers

who could assist them with identifying a specific single job, web-based respondents received no such support,

and could share information on multiple jobs or industries, including, occasionally, full work histories. Furthermore,

the GSS offers no guide beyond interviewer training to help respondents select from among multiple jobs. An

experiment designed to address some of these issues is discussed in the experimental section

CODEBOOK | 23

Spouse vs. Co-habiting Partner

There are several GSS items that ask about the respondent’s spouse or long-term partner. In the 2022 GSS,

respondents are treated as married based on the variables POSSLQ and POSSLQY. These variables identify

respondents who are in long-term relationships which may be analogous to marriage but are not marriage.

Respondents in these relationships receive the same questions as married respondents, but about their partners

rather than spouses. For public release, NORC separates these two classes of respondents into the SP- (spouse)

and CO- (cohabiting partner) variables, which are then mutually exclusive. For example, if a respondent is married

and living with their spouse, they will have a response coded into SPWRKSTA, and COWRKSTA will be coded as .i

(inapplicable). If the respondent is not married but living with a partner, they will have a response for COWRKSTA

and SPWRKSTA will be coded as .i (inapplicable). Likewise, if the respondent is single or in a relationship with a

non-cohabiting partner, both SPWRKSTA and COWRKSTA will be .i (inapplicable).

Paradata

Release 2 of the 2022 GSS includes several previously unreleased paradata components for the 2022 GSS.

Paradata on the 2022 GSS are divided into three separate categories, depending on how the paradata were

collected and whether or not they depend on the face-to-face interview. The three paradata components are:

• Pre-interview (MODESEQUENCE=1 only)

• Mid-interview

• Post-interview (Face-to-face only)

Pre-interview

Pre-interview variables include observations about the household conducted by the field interviewer prior to first

contact with the household. These include observations about the physical address, characteristics of the

household, and estimated likelihood of completing the interview. Because pre-interview paradata requires

interviewer observations, it is only available for cases in MODESEQUENCE=1 (Face-to-face first condition).

Mid-interview

Mid-interview variables include observations of mode and timestamps associated with specific sections of

variables. As of Release 3, the paradata also includes device type, browser, and operating system for all web-mode

cases, as well as associated timestamps for entry into the survey instrument. These variables are not cleaned, and

as a result, are not made directly available in the GSS 1972-2022 Cumulative datafile. Instead, they are available in

a supplementary datafile at gss.norc.org. The paradata file’s contents are likely to increase over time, and will be

update here as that occurs.

Post-interview

Post-interview paradata includes observations about the appearance and attitude of the respondent during the

interview, whether or not others were present for the interview, and information about the appearance of the

respondent’s home. Post-interview paradata is tied to interviewer observation, and occurs if an interviewer was

CODEBOOK | 24

present to complete a case. As a result, post-interview paradata may be available for cases with any value for

MODE, including cases tagged as web-mode only.

Other Sources of Paradata

Other paradata are already available in the 2022 General Social Survey Cross-section, including total respondent

incentive and mode of survey administration. Other paradata tied to interviewer characteristics will be made

available in a future release.

2022 GSS CROSS-SECTION-SPECIFIC LAYOUT AND EXPERIMENTS

GSS Layout & Questionnaires

While the GSS is fielded as a single survey, it is composed of three separate ballots. This rotating structure is

discussed in greater detail in GSS Methodological Report 52

and current distribution of questions is available in

The GSS Replicating Core.

The questions that are repeated in each round are known as the replicating core. Other

sections (which may reoccur, but not every year) are called topical modules. Both GSS Next and National

Endowment for the Arts are follow-on modules. Figure 3 shows the distribution of topical modules in the 2022

GSS Cross-section.

Experiments in the 2022 GSS Cross-section

Mode Assignment and Non-response Follow-up Experiment

Following the transition to web data collection in the 2021 GSS in response to the disruption of face-to-face

collection due to the COVID-19 pandemic, 2022 GSS allowed us the opportunity to experimentally test the use of

both web and face-to-face data collection as part of a multimode design. Multimode designs are often used to

yield cost savings while providing respondents with a mode that best meets their needs and helping achieve a

high response rate.

For GSS sample cases, drawn from NORC’s National Frame, were randomly assigned to one of two multimode

sequences (conditions 1 and 2) (see Figure 4). Condition 1 used face-to-face as the primary mode, encouraging

respondent participation through mailing materials, telephone calls, and face-to-face visits. For non-respondents,

this condition included a push-to-web effort asking respondents to complete the survey on the web. This condition

most similarly resembles the historical face-to-face design of GSS from before the pandemic with the added

inclusion of web follow-up. Condition 2 used a mail push-to-web methodology as the main mode of collection.

This means that materials were mailed to sampled households inviting them to provide responses through a web

instrument. Participation was encouraged through telephone calls and mailing materials. Following these initial

outreach efforts, field interviewers visited the sampled address of the non-respondents to encourage them to

participate in the survey. This condition most similarly resembles the 2021 GSS design with the addition of face-

to-face follow-up for nonrespondents, like earlier years of the GSS. Both conditions were administered concurrently

allowing us to scientifically compare the two conditions.

Additional details regarding the results of the experiment will be shared in a future methodological report.

Figure 4: Mode Assignment and Non-response Follow-up Experiment Design

CODEBOOK | 27

Volunteered Responses

For several questions in the GSS Replicating Core, the GSS has traditionally included options that are available for

interviewers to code when volunteered by respondents but are not shown or read aloud to respondents. For

example, in the traditional face to face instrument, the item COURTS (“In general, do you think the courts in this

area deal too harshly or not harshly enough with criminals?”) includes “About right” as a volunteered response for

the interviewer to code, but the option is not read to the respondent. These volunteered responses cannot be

translated to the web mode effectively. In the web mode, respondents can only select responses that are shown

to them on the screen, rather than being able to pick additional, unshown responses.

Motivated by this inability to translate the question design across mode, the 2022 GSS Cross-section includes a

experiment examining volunteered responses that was first adopted in the 2021 GSS Cross-section.

Nineteen

questions with volunteered responses were split into two new questions: one with a -V suffix and the other with a

-NV suffix. The -V question, which appeared on FORM Y, included the volunteered response as an answer on the

screen. The -NV question, which appeared on FORM X, did not included the volunteered response on the screen.

A full list of variables for this experiment is shown in Table 4.

These changes affect only the web mode. In face-to-face interviews and the phone mode, respondents had the

ability to volunteer responses just as they did in previous years, regardless of whether they received the -V or -NV

form of the questionnaire. -V and -NV variables are tied to the mode that the item was administered in, which may

be different from the mode assigned in MODE, which reflects the mode for the majority of the survey. As a result,

some respondents will have MODE=1 and responses to -V or -NV variables.

Additionally , the -V and -NV variables only appear in the web mode, while the unmodified variable only appears in

the face-to-face and phone modes. Users should be cautious about analyzing these variables, as the current GSS

weights are not designed to work with mode-specific subsets of the data. Given the general increase in volunteered

responses in the -V mode, trends using variables which merge the -V, -NV, and unmodified variable will look

anomalous against the pre-2022 trends. NORC is currently working on developing mode-specific weights to allow

respondents to better analyze this experiment.

The o

riginal version of the -V and -NV variables appear in the 2022 GSS Cross-section

data along with the -V and -NV variables. For example, GRASS, GRASSV, and GRASSNV

are asked in the 2022 GSS Cross-section. We do not recommend analyzing these

variables with the standard GSS weights, as they are not designed to accommodate

mode-specific subsamples of the data. We urge caution to users when trying to merge the -V and

-NV variables with the non-experimental version, as the -V variables generally show a substantial

increase in volunteered responses.

Inspection of unweighted data during production of the GSS dataset indicates that in nearly every case, variables

tested (with the U.S. citizenship question being the only exception), the experimental condition showed some

degree of shift toward the volunteered response option. The changes seem to be in the double digits for most of

the variables. These results suggest that visual representation of “volunteered” response options may have

implications for the survey web design.

CODEBOOK | 28

Use of Grids

The 2022 GSS Cross-section includes an experiment on gridded questions in the web mode. This experiment was

first introduced in the 2021 GSS Cross-section as motivated by the possibilities of the web mode, as well as by our

attempts to reduce overall question length. We selected two sets of items that shared question stems, response

options, and conceptual topics—the GSS Core items related to abortion and the GSS Core items related to suicide—

and presented them in grids. See Figure 5 for an example of how grids were displayed in the web mode. The grids

include no more than four items at a time.

For this experiment, the gridded version of each question appeared on

FORM X, and the normal version of the question appeared on FORM Y. The gridded variables have the suffix -G. A

full list of new variables for this experiment, as well as which grids they were placed in, is shown in Table 4.

Similar to the volunteered response experiment, phone cases were grouped with web cases by FORM. Phone

respondents in FORM X had their responses recorded in the -G version of the variable despite being asked the

questions verbally and not in grid format.

In the 2022 GSS Cross-section, all the -G variables have a corresponding non-

experimental version, which has been asked on the GSS previously. For example,

ABDEFECTG is the grid experiment version of the standard GSS variable ABDEFECT.

Consequently, ABDEFECT is only available for half of sample (i.e., FORM Y) –

compared to previous years – and ABDEFECTG is available for the other half (i.e., FORM X).

Inspection of data during analysis suggest that grids may have effects selectively on certain questions. Users

should pay careful attention to the correlation between the gridded items, as showing multiple items per screen

may increase inter-item correlation. In the seven abortion items, one did not appear in a grid (ABANYG), but our

initial analysis indicated that it showed the effects of the grid experiment as well and has thus been given the -G

suffix.

Figure 5: Example of Gridded Variables—Set 1

CODEBOOK | 29

Gender-neutral Wording

The 2022 GSS includes a version using gender-neutral wording (and grid experiments), which is identified with a -

Y suffix (the suffix that is standard to indicate wording experiments). For example, an item using gender-neutral

wording displays “police officer” instead of a gendered “policeman.” For this experiment, FORM X contains the

gendered item (typically using the word “man” and the pronouns “he,” “him,” and “his”), while FORM Y contains the

gender-neutral wording. A list of new variables for this experiment is shown in Table 4. This experiment was first

introduced in the 2021 GSS Cross-section.

Additionally, initial inspection of the data suggests that while effects may not affect all items, it may more

selectively impact certain items. One variable, RACOPEN, was included on both experiments (i.e., gender neutral

and volunteered response) and has been included as RACOPENV and RACOPENNV, rather than RACOPENY, as

the -V and -NV effect appears stronger.

In the 2022 GS

S Cross-section, all the -Y variables in the gender-neutral wording

experiment have a corresponding non-experimental version, which has been asked on

the GSS previously. This effectively means that the original name is representing only

one half of the sample (i.e., FORM X). For example, SPKATH is only available for half

of sample (i.e., FORM X) – compared to previous years – and SPKATHY is available for the other

half (i.e., FORM Y).

Vocabulary Experiment

The 2022 GSS Cross-section includes an experimental version of the WORDSUM items, a series of 10 vocabulary

items. The original version of this series includes 5 easy words and 5 difficult words, while the new one removes

3 words and replaces them with medium difficulty words. These words have been used on the GSS in the past, in

various panel-only experiments from 2008-2014.

The experimental version of the WORDSUM items appears on

FORM X, while the original version appears on FORM Y. The sequence of words for each FORM appears in Table

4 below.

Other Wording Experiments

The 2022 GSS maintains several other long-running wording experiments, as well as adding new ones. These

wording experiments are designated by the -X and -Y suffixes. New wording experiments in 2022 include XMOVIEY

and the RACDIFX sequence. XMOVIEY updates the term “X-rated movie” to “Pornography” and includes the internet

in possible sources of pornography. The RACDIFX sequence (RACDIF1X, RACDIF2X, RACDIF3X, RACDIF4X) use a

new extended intro which informs respondents that the questions have been asked for almost 50 years, and they

are being asked again for historical comparison.

Existing wording experiments include the long-running wording variants in the national spending priority sequence

(NATAID/NATAIDY, NATARMS/NATARMSY, NATCITY/NATCITYY, NATCRIME/NATCRIMY,

NATDRUG/NATDRUGY, NATEDUC/NATEDUCY, NATENVIR/NATENVIY, NATFARE/NATFAREY,

NATHEAL/NATHEALY, NATRACE/NATRACEY, NATSPAC/NATSPACY) and the experiment using the term ‘living

as married’ in POSSLQ/POSSLQY.

CODEBOOK | 30

Summary

The 2022 GSS Cross-section contains four kinds of standard experiment, all indicated by different types of suffix

affixed to the affected variables. Traditional wording experiments (where each version contains different wording

in the introduction or question stem) end in either -X or -Y, dependent on form assignment. Gender-neutral wording

experiments (a subset of traditional wording experiments) end in -Y. Grid experiments, where multiple items are

presented on the same screen, are identified with the -G suffix. Finally, the volunteered/not volunteered experiment

adds a response category to the variable with the -V suffix, and removes the same category entirely from variables

with the -NV suffix. In the case of volunteered/not-volunteered and grids, these experiments are only present in

the web mode, identified through the variable MODE. All experiments also use the variable FORM to assign the

experimental conditions.

Other experiments in the 2022 GSS

Household Composition

The 2022 GSS included an experimental version of the household composition module, designed to shorten the

time of administration for household enumeration, by collecting less detail on individual household members,

while still gathering rich information on relationships in the household. These questions were asked on Form Y

on all ballots. They are denoted with the suffix "_exp" where applicable. Additionally, a series of new questions

about specific household relationships were asked, which detail the kinds of relationships that the respondent

has with various household members, but not relationships between other members of the household. For a

comparison of the experimental and traditional forms of household composition, as well as the Household

Enumeration form, please see Table 3

GSS Next Experiments

The GSS Next follow-on included two additional experiments meant to investigate new opportunities and

challenges of the GSS multi-mode design. The first, focusing on OCC10_NEXT and INDUS10_NEXT, limited the

number of characters that respondents could use to describe their occupations and industries, to better conform

with limitations caused by the use of 3

party coders for Industry and Occupation (I/O) data. The second,

RELIG_NEXT, DENOM_NEXT, OTHER_NEXT, and JEW_NEXT, manipulated the order of questions within the GSS

Religion battery, in order to reduce the number of open-ended responses produced.

FIELDING

The 2022 GSS Cross-section was conducted from May 5, 2022, to December 20, 2022, and was processed

according to standard NORC procedures.

Figure 6: Number of Interviews Completed per Month in 2022

The GSS was re-designed to a multimode web and phone survey in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic and was

conducted in 2020 as two studies: a panel study and a cross-section study.

For 2022, the GSS built upon the 2020 mode shift to formally test the traditional face-to-face approach compared

to the experimental web-first alternative. As a result, cases were randomized to one of two groups in 2022: the

traditional in person-first group, in which trained interviewers attempted in person household contacting first or

the second web-first group, in which households were first invited to participate via an online self-administered

survey. Both groups then received non-response follow-up and were encouraged to complete the interview in any

available mode – in person, by phone, or via the self-administered web survey.

For the web-first group, initial outreach was conducted via mail. GSS staff continued to improve on redesigned

mail-based outreach to respondents to introduce the GSS to fresh address-based sample and encourage them to

participate by web Throughout this initial phase of data collection, households in this experimental group were

sent postcards, invitation packets, and reminder letters using a combination of USPS and FedEx and urging them

to complete the 2022 GSS survey. The sample was released in two batches, with evaluation of household response

rate for the first batch to allow for fine-tuning of sample size for the second batch. After a set amount of time, non-

responders were subsampled and the remaining sample of households were contacted by trained interviewing

staff to encourage interview completion in person or by telephone.

Fielding in most locations concluded on December 12, 2022, and was kept open in one location until January 8, 2023 to

help ensure representativeness.

CODEBOOK | 36

For our in-person first condition, this sample was treated more similarly to a “traditional” GSS household sample.

Each randomly selected household in this group was mailed a notification postcard, followed by an invitation

package, time to be received shortly before they were likely to receive initial contact from a trained field interviewer.

Initially, these households were only offered an in-person interview option, but after a set amount of time for this

group, households also received mail invitations encouraging them to complete the interview via a self-

administered web-survey.

In this non-response follow-up or NRFU period, both experimental groups received continued contact by trained

field interviewers, encouraging participation across all three modes.

Within households, respondents for the 2022 GSS were selected via a modified KISH method. As a part of the GSS

survey process, households either completed the household screener online as a self-administered screener or

with a NORC interviewer. A member of the household or “informant” completed a roster of all adults aged 18 and

older living in the household. Based on the Kish grid for that household, one member of the household, the

“respondent”, was randomly selected to participate. For those screeners completed online, if the informant was

selected as the respondent, the informant would be taken immediately to the web version of the GSS. if the

informant differed from the selected respondent, the selected respondent received both email and mail invitations

to complete the GSS interview separately. For those screeners completed in person, the interviewer provided

information to the household to encourage completion of the GSS interview, either in-person or online. In all cases,

once a household completed a screener and a member of the household was selected as a respondent, the project

team would make a concerted effort to continue in-person, mail, and phone follow up with the respondent,

encouraging survey completion.

From the start of fielding, respondents located in areas with high Hispanic and/or Spanish-speaking prevalence

were mailed bilingual English/Spanish versions of materials. Determinations of the likelihood of a household

having Spanish speakers were made with a combination of Census data and commercially available lists of likely

Spanish-speaking households.

Ultimately, 38.0% percent of respondents completed the 2022 GSS survey via web survey, 53.7% percent of

respondents completed it in person and 5.3% percent of respondents completed it by phone, with the remainder

completing across multiple modes. The weighted 2022 Cross-section response rate was 50.54% percent.

SAMPLING DESIGN AND WEIGHTS

The 2022 GSS Cross-section Sample

The GSS 2022 baseline sample was divided into two experimental conditions with a target of 1,400 completes in

each condition. In one condition, addresses were first contacted by mail with an invitation to fill out a web GSS

questionnaire (Web-First). After eight weeks, the addresses that did not fill out a web GSS questionnaire were

subsampled for face-to-face in-person interviewing. In the second condition, addresses would first be visited in-

CODEBOOK | 37

person for interviewing (F2F-First) and would later in the field period be mailed invitations to fill out a web GSS

questionnaire. Phase 1 consisted of Web-First only data collection. After subsampling, Phase 2 began with the

Web-First subsample as well as the entire F2F-First sample being visited in-person.

The Web-First sample was released in two batches, each with different start dates. The first sample batch

consisted of 6,760 addresses from the NORC 2010 NORC National Sampling Frame, which we describe below.

Batch two consisted of 4,408 more addresses from the NORC 2010 NORC National Sampling Frame. Batch 1 was

released to the field May 4, 2022. Batch 2 was released to the field on June 14, 2022. The two sample batches

supported the main mode of data collection based on a web-instrument and supplemented with phone for a limited

number of cases who required it.

Table 5 shows sample release sizes, completed cases, and weighted response rates for each experimental

condition. As the sample source, the NORC National Sampling Frame provides the basis for an equal-probability

multi-stage cluster sample of housing units for the entire United States. Every decade, NORC reselects a National

Sampling Frame based on the Decennial Census. The 2022 GSS was the fifth and final to use the 2010 NORC

National Sampling Frame.

First-stage units on the National Sampling Frame are called National Frame Areas (NFAs), each of which is

composed of a USPS Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) of one or more counties outside of MSAs. The number

of first-stage selections in the 2010 NORC National Sampling Frame is 126 NFAs and the GSS sample uses only

76 NFAs. Fifty-nine of the GSS NFAs are non-certainty NFAs in the GSS that each represent 1 percent of the U.S.

population, and the remaining 17 of the GSS NFAs are certainty NFAs containing 41 percent of the U.S. population.

The

second-stage selection yielded a sample of segments that are census tracts in urban areas (where post office

address lists are usually available) and a sample of segments that are block groups (smaller than census tracts)

in rural areas where physical listing is often required.

The first-stage units (NFAs) and second-stage units (either census tracks or block groups) were selected with

probabilities proportional to size, where the measure of size is determined by Census housing unit totals. The third-

stage units (i.e., housing units) were selected with an equal probability of selection method (EPSEM)—which

means that each housing unit has the same probability of selection. Using the EPSEM approach resulted in roughly

the same number of housing units selected per second-stage sampling unit. The number of second-stage

selections in the 2010 NORC National Frame is 1,514, but GSS uses only 400, which is four per 1 percent of the

U.S. population.

Most of the addresses in the NORC National Sampling Frame come from the USPS CDS, but some came from

in-person listing of areas where the CDS did not provide at least 90 percent coverage.

GSS Post-stratification Weights

The weight variables (WTSS and WTSSNR) typically provided in previous GSS data files made simple adjustments

of the GSS sampling design (i.e., sub-sampling). For the 2022 GSS Cross-section (like the 2021 GSS Cross-Section),

we do not provide those design-adjusted weights; we have instead added weights adjusted by population controls;

that is, post-stratification weight variables WTSSPS and WTSSNRPS. Due to the subsampling involved, it is very

important to use these post-stratification weights to get more representative results. This section details the

methodology used to calculate the post-stratification weights for the 2022 GSS Cross-section Sample. As of

Release 1, NORC is including post-stratified weights: WTSSPS and WTSSNRPS. WTSSPS is available for years

1972-2022 and WTSSNRPS is available for years 2004-2022.

WTSSPS: We assigned this weight to the completed cases; it accounts for all stages of selection: NFA, segment,

housing unit, within household, and raking to known population totals.

WTSSNRPS: This weight had one additional step: a non-response adjustment.

Both weight variables are scaled so that they sum to the number of completed cases (3,544).

As of Release 3, WTSSPS and WTSSNRPS are the recommended weights of the GSS

1972-2022 Cumulative data file. WTSSPS is the recommended weight for analysis

conducted from 1972-2022 and is now the default weight for the

GSS Data Explorer.

Both WTSSPS and WTSSNRPS are available for data users for 2004-2022. For years

where WTSSNRPS is available, NORC recommends data users use WTSSNRPS.

n addition to adjusting to population controls, these weights:

a) correct for form errors reported in GSS Methodological Report 36

or 1978, 1980, 1982, 1983,

1984, and 1985;

b) c

orrect for the ballot-and-form assignment errors reported in GSS Methodological Report 134

for 2002, 2010, 2012, 2016, and 2018; and

c) sup

port person-level analyses of the combined main and Black oversamples for 1982 and 1987.

This means that these corrections no longer need to be applied to the primary weights. The

inclusion of these corrections makes these weights simpler and superior for all data users.

CODEBOOK | 39

Post-stratification Weighting Methodology Steps in 2022

We calculated the weights for the 2022 GSS Cross-section cases using similar methods used in previous rounds

(2021 was the exception since no interviews were collected in person)—however, with an additional raking step to

adjust to known population totals.

W0. First, we account for the selection of the NFA, segment and housing unit. These probabilities come out of

NORC’s FrameTool sampling software. GSS is an equal-probability sample, but the new methodology at the end

of the decade with a much larger sample size meant that three of the 400 segments were sampled at half the rate.

Most of the 15,012 housing units released have a selection probability of 0.0001123577. The base weight for most

cases is 8900.1465854 (1 / selection probability). The three segments had a base weight of 18219.416432, roughly

double.

W1. Second, we account for the subsampling of nonrespondents at the end of Phase 1 of data collection. Only the

web-first cases were subjected to subsampling, and only if they were not completed before in-person interviewing

(Phase 2) began. The weight of cases completed during Phase 1 are unchanged. The weight of cases selected for

Phase 2 follow-up are increased by a factor equal to the inverse of their probability of selection for follow-up.

Separate subsamplings took place for batches 1 and 2 (released six weeks apart) and cases in staffed NFAs were

sub-sampled at a higher rate (around 23 percent) than cases in unstaffed NFAs (around 11.5 percent). This weight

adjustment divided W0 by the subsampling rate for the batch/staffing category to obtain W1. W1=W0 for all face-

to-face first cases.

W2. Third, we adjust for eligibility. Not all cases in the frame are truly eligible for the survey: some are businesses,

do not exist, or are unoccupied. This adjustment sets the weights of the ineligible cases to zero and sets W2=W1

for eligible cases. The 458 cases whose eligibility could not be determined (disp=99 FINAL Other - Elig unknown)

are given fractional eligibility (0.606213) so that the overall eligibility rate is 86 percent, which has been well

established by completely in-person studies from the 2010 decade.

W3. The next step, an optional non-response adjustment, is done for the WTSSNRPS process but skipped for the

WTSSPS process. This step distributes the weight of the non-responding cases to the responding cases. GSS

traditionally uses a geographical non-response weight adjustment, and we did that here using NFA. This step also

creates the overall weighted response rate, which is 50.54 percent for the 2022 GSS baseline cases.

W4. We performed all the steps through W3 at the household level, but the final GSS weights are at the individual

adult level. Therefore, this step adjusts for the probability of selecting the respondent within the household. This

probability is the inverse of the number of adults in the household. We did limit this adjustment to a maximum of

five adults. The number of adults exceeded five for only seven of the households with completed interviews. Unlike

previous GSS rounds, this variable (NUM_ROSTERED) was never missing, so we did not need to perform any

imputation.

W5. For the first time, GSS added an adjustment to known population totals from the U.S. Census Bureau for the

2021 Cross-Section round based on a raking approach. We used the same approach for the 2022 Cross-Section.

We selected eight variables for a raking algorithm, which iteratively adjusts the weights to sum to the known

population totals for each category of each of the raking variables, one at a time until the raked weights converge.

Most of these variables suffer from missing data. The missing data were imputed using a simple hot-deck

imputation prior to raking. For this simple hot-deck imputation, we only used the raking variables previously

imputed as sorting variables. The eight raking variables were:

Census Division (never missing, nine categories):

CODEBOOK | 40

• New England

• Mid-Atlantic

• East North Central

• West North Central

• South Atlantic

• East South Central

• West South Central

• Mountain

• Pacific

Education (0 imputed values, three categories):

• Less than High School Education

• High School Diploma, but no Four-Year College Degree

• Bachelor’s Degree or more

Marital Status (15 imputed values, two categories):

• Currently Married

• Not Currently Married

Sex (20 imputed values, two categories):

• Male

• Female

U.S. Born Status (22 imputed values, two categories):

• Born in the United States

• Not Born in the United States

Hispanic Origin Status (25 imputed values, two categories):

• Of Hispanic Origin

• Not of Hispanic Origin

Race (30 imputed values, six categories):

• White

• African-American

• American Indian/Alaska Native

• Asian

• Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander

CODEBOOK | 41

• Other

Age Group (208 imputed values, five categories):

• 18–29 years old

• 30–39 years old

• 40–49 years old

• 50–64 years old

• 65–89 years old

Final weights. The weights that result from this process are then scaled to the number of completed cases

(3,544) to result in WTSSPS and WTSSNRPS.

Post-stratification including the AmeriSpeak® oversample

Amerispeak Oversample Cases are only available in the 2022 single-year datafile as

of Release 3.

When combining GSS baseline and AmeriSpeak cases, WTSSNRPS_AS should be

used as the weight; WTSSPS_AS is not recommended.

GSS Methodologi

cal Report 138 (forthcoming, expected April 2024) will have more details on this

recommendation as well as the impact of adding AmeriSpeak cases to the 2022 data.

Equivalent weight variables to WTSSPS and WTSSNRPS were created to include the 605 cases from the

AmeriSpeak® oversample, with both weight variables scaled so that they sum to the number of total completed

cases (4,149). We followed the same weighting steps discussed above with the following adjustments:

W0. To add the AmeriSpeak® cases selection probability, we needed to determine the probability of being in the

baseline sample or in the AmeriSpeak® sample. We used the weight of selection into the 2022 GSS from the

AmeriSpeak® sample. The sum of these weights is similar to the estimated adult population by race/ethnicity, so

we took the inverse as the estimated sampling probability. These were then added to the most likely probability of

being in the baseline sample (0.0001123577).

For the baseline sample, the average probability for each oversampled race/ethnic group needed to be applied to

the baseline sample’s equivalent race/ethnic groups. Because we only know this for completed cases, we added

the average AmeriSpeak® probability to a random set of non-complete cases so that 35.69 percent of the Core

cases have the adjustment (see Table 6). Of the 3,544 baseline completes, 523 were non-Hispanic Blacks, 595

were Hispanics, and 136 were non-Hispanic Asians. The differences (for example, 12.27 percent non-Hispanic

Blacks out of 15,012 lines of sample, 1,842, minus the 523 non-Hispanic Black completes) indicate how many non-

complete cases to assign to each minority group in the AmeriSpeak® sample.

We ran regression models of the 3,544 baseline completes to use the block-group-level variables available for the

entire sample to predict which completes are Hispanic, non-Hispanic Black, and non-Hispanic Asian. Based on the

regression, the completes had the following distribution (see Table 7):

0.17-0.62 48.7% 0.17-0.75 54.9% 0.043-0.224 49.3%

We then randomly assigned Hispanics, Blacks, and Asians within these propensity classes to match the

distribution of known completes.

W1. W1=W0 for all AmeriSpeak® cases.

W2. We assume all AmeriSpeak® cases are eligible and thus W2=W1 for all AmeriSpeak® cases.

W3. The optional non-response adjustment within the three race/ethnic oversampling groups for AmeriSpeak®.

The overall weighted response rate is 46.49 percent for the 2022 GSS including both the baseline and

AmeriSpeak® samples.

W4. Because the AmeriSpeak® sample was not rostered like the baseline sample, we used the number of adults

(ADULTS). There was a total of 15 missing values for ADULTS in the AmeriSpeak® sample, which were imputed

using a simple hot-deck imputation.

W5. The AmeriSpeak® sample had missing values for two of the eight raking variables: U.S. Born Status and Race.

For U.S. Born Status, 9 values required imputation (totaling to 31 imputed values with the baseline sample). For

Race, 11 values required imputation (totaling to 41 imputed values).

Final weights. The weights that result from this process are then scaled to the number of completed cases (4,149)

to result in WTSSPS_AS and WTSSNRPS_AS. WTSSPS_AS does not account for differential response rates

between the GSS baseline and AmeriSpeak® samples and therefore under-represents AmeriSpeak® cases.

CODEBOOK | 43

Therefore, WTSSNRPS_AS is the recommended weight for analyzing the combined baseline and AmeriSpeak®

samples for the 2022 GSS.

Weights for the GSS Cumulative Cross-section

With the availability of WTSSPS and WTSSNRPS for all GSS years, historical weights are included in the data for

historical record. The adjustments related to ballot or form errors, or racial oversamples are incorporated into

WTSSPS and WTSSNRPS removing the need to make weight adjustments for these situations.

WTSSPS

Beginning in 2022, the GSS implemented post-

stratification as a standard part of the GSS

weighting procedure to better represent population

controls. WTSSPS automatically incorporates the

form issue (FORMWT), the 1982 and 1987

oversamples (OVERSAMP) and the correction for

the ballot and form assignment issue

(BALLOTFORMWT). This weight is a parallel weight

to WTSSALL.

WTSSALL expands the adults-in-household

adjustment from WTSS to all years prior to 2004. No

such adjustment is possible to account for sub-

sampling of nonrespondents. However, from 2004

onwards, WTSS and WTSSALL are equal.

WTSSNR

Beginning in 2004, the GSS began to use a two-

stage sub-sampling design for nonresponse. To

obtain weighted estimates adjusted for this non-

response, users should use the -NR weight in these

years (either WTSSNR or WTSSNRPS depending on

the year of interest)

Beginning in 2004, the GSS implemented a two-

Follow-on Study Weights

For the 2022 GSS follow-on studies, we calculated post-stratification weights to allow for more representative

results of these studies. This section details the methodology used to calculate the post-stratification weights

for both the NEA and GSS Next follow-ons.

WTSSPS_NEA: This weight is assigned to the 843 cases who completed the NEA follow-on using WTSSPS for the

3,544 GSS Core completes and not including a non-response adjustment during the GSS Core weights or the

follow-on weights.

WTSSNRPS_NEA: This weight is assigned to the 843 cases who completed the NEA follow-on using WTSSNRPS

for the 3,544 GSS Core completes and including two non-response adjustments: during the GSS Core weights and

during the follow-on weights.

Both WTSSPS_NEA and WTSSNRPS_NEA are scaled so that they sum to the number of completed cases (843).

CODEBOOK | 45

WTSSPS_NEXT: This weight is assigned to the 1,235 cases who completed the GSS Next follow-on using WTSSPS

for the 3,544 GSS Core completes and not including a non-response adjustment during the GSS Core weights or

the follow-on weights.

WTSSNRPS_NEXT: This weight is assigned to the 1,235 cases who completed the NEA follow-on using

WTSSNRPS for the 3,544 GSS Core completes and including two non-response adjustments: during the GSS Core

weights and during the follow-on weights.

Both WTSSPS_NEXT and WTSSNRPS_NEXT are scaled so that they sum to the number of completed cases

(1,235).

Since these follow-ons were only intended for GSS Core completes, these four weights all start with the final

weights for the GSS Core: WTSSPS or WTSSNRPS. Since not every GSS Core complete was asked to complete

the follow-ons, an eligibility step is done for those ineligible (i.e., were not asked). Then, an optional non-response

step is done before a second raking (raking was done as part of the weights for the GSS Core)

Post-stratification Weighting Methodology Steps for Follow-on Studies

We calculated the follow-on study weights using a similar procedure to the GSS Core post-stratification weights.

W0. All four weights begin with the raked weights for the GSS Core before normalization to the sample size. This

is done because we will re-do the raking back up to the population totals in a future step.

W1. No random subsampling was done for the NEA and GSS Next follow-ons, but this step is included for

consistency with other GSS weights. W1=W0 for all cases.

W2. We adjust for eligibility by zeroing out the weights for ineligible cases. Eligibility is determined by whether or

not a GSS Core respondent was invited to be in the follow-up. Of the 3,544 GSS Core respondents, 2,269 (64

percent) were invited to the NEA follow-on and 3,247 (92 percent) were invited to the GSS Next follow-on. Those

not invited were treated as ineligible. This adjustment sets the weights of the ineligible cases to zero and sets

W2=W1 for eligible cases.

W3. Next, we do an optional non-response adjustment by distributing the weight of the non-responding cases to

the responding cases within the same NFA. This step also creates the overall weighted response rates, which is

50.5 percent for the 2022 GSS Core, 15.6 percent for the NEA follow-on (30.9 percent retention rate of GSS Core

completes), and 16.4 percent for the GSS Next follow-on (32.4 percent retention rate of GSS Core completes).

WTSSNRPS_NEA and WTSSNRPS_NEXT use the non-response weight adjustment while WTSSPS_NEA and

WTSSPS_NEXT ignore it. W3NR uses the non-response weight adjustment while W3=W2.

W4. We already adjusted for the probability of selection of the respondent during the GSS Core weighting, but we

keep this step in the plan for consistency. W4NR=W3NR and W4=W3.

W5. The final step for the four weights is a raking step to bring the totals back into agreement with known

population totals, even though the GSS Core weighting included a raking step. The eligibility and non-response

steps have moved the weights out of alignment with the known population totals, so we finish these add-on

weights with a raking step. The same eight variables from the core weights (Census Division, education, marital

status, sex, U.S. born status, Hispanic, race, and age) were used again.

Final weights. The weights that result from this process are then scaled to the number of completed cases:

WTSSPS_NEA and WTSSNRPS_NEA sum to 843 while WTSSPS_NEXT and WTSSNRPS_NEXT sum to 1,235.

RESERVE CODES AND MISSING VALUES

The 2022 GSS Cross-section now uses a standardized set of missing values for all variables:

.d – Don’t know (DK). This reserve code is used when respondents indicate that they

do not know the answer to a question. For some variables (mostly ISSP variables), this

code is used for “Can’t choose” which was a response option offered to respondents

unlike “Don’t know” which was not offered.

.i – Inapplicable (IAP). This reserve code is used when a respondent does not see a question, either

due to structural factors (e.g., for a respondent on ballot C, they will be marked inapplicable for a

question exclusive to ballots A and B) or to personal factors (e.g., a respondent who is not married

will be marked inapplicable for a spouse-related item).

.n – No Answer (NA). This reserve code is used when a respondent refuses to answer a question..

If a respondent gives a “No Answer” response to a screener question, all follow-up questions are

marked as “No Answer.”

.s – Skipped on Web. This reserve code is used when a respondent skips a question in the web

mode. If a respondent skips a screener question, follow-up questions are marked as “Skipped on

Web.”

.x – Not available in this release. Variables that were asked in the 2022 GSS Cross-section but that

have proven difficult to clean have been omitted from the first data release. Instead of dropping the

variable entirely, all cases are marked with

.x, indicating that the data will be made available in a

subsequent release.

.y – Not available in this year. Variables that are included in the cumulative GSS datafile but that

were not asked in 2022 are coded .

y for all cases in 2022. The same is true for variables that are

unavailable in in 2021, 2018, 2016, etc. Our hope is that

.y makes it easier to tell if two variables that

are not part of the replicating core have ever overlapped in a given year.

.z – Variable-specific reserve code. Several variables also include a .z reserve code, which

documents circumstances or changes that might lead to odd missing data. For example, in 2021,

some respondents in the Religion topical module have

.z codes because their assigned religion was

recoded based on open-ended responses, and as a result, their movement through the module was

different than what their responses to RELIG and DENOM imply.

.u – Uncodeable. Some open-ended responses were not codeable to numeric codes, and .u was

used instead in such cases.

.m – DK, NA, IAP. Variables created in the 1970s (e.g., OCC, INDUSTRY) used a single missing value

that had multiple meanings. .m can mean “Don’t know”, “No answer”, or “Inapplicable”.

.b – Blank. This reserve code indicates ‘blank’ in open-ended responses.

.p – Not imputable. This missing code is used in variables POVLINE and INCDEF. For more

information about these variables, please refer to

Methodological Report 57 available on the GSS

main website.

.f – Birthdate not available. This missing code is used in the variable VIETDRAFT. Please see the

HOW TO READ GSS CODEBOOK TABLES

For ease of usability and communication, the 2021 General Social Survey denotes a break from the codebook

format that the GSS has been historically using. While the traditional codebook is still available with data up to the

2018 GSS, this new codebook format will continue to be used for the foreseeable future. To facilitate the use of

this new format, several terms must be explained. The abbreviation “R,” which appears throughout the text and

appendices, stands for “respondent.” Figure 7 shows the format for the codebook tables.

The title Variable (in the example, for

HAPMAR) denotes the variable name. A

mnemonic was assigned to each question to

promote standardization in the use of GSS

variable names and to meet the eight-

character limitation imposed by some

computer software systems (e.g., SPSS)

Type (in the example, “Numeric”) refers to the

form in which responses were coded.

Questions were either recorded as “numeric”

or “character.” Numeric variables may have a

limited number of preset responses (e.g.,

“Agree” or “Disagree”, “Yes” or “No”) to which

numeric “punches” or values are assigned,

or, in the case of HAPMAR, responses are

open-ended but numeric in nature. Character

variables are generally open-ended

questions with no preset responses (e.g., SEXSPEC).

Label shows question wording as it appeared in the questionnaire. For some variables, as is the case of HAPMAR,

some question wording appears in full uppercase font. This uppercase information communicates conditions for

the variable that interviewers were to be aware of as they conducted the questionnaire. This information was for

the benefit of the interviewer, and respondents were not aware.

The Notes section is where essential question information appears (in the example, it is empty). This question

information denotes historical changes to the variable, the manner in which the variable was asked, or as is the

CODEBOOK | 49

case in HAPMAR, related variables. For variables that have experienced historical changes, the “Notes” section

directs readers to the appropriate reports to learn of those alterations over time.

Variable Responses

Under the heading LABEL, all possible answers to the questions are listed. The questionnaire contains four

alternate forms of response as follows: 1) the answers were read to the respondent or listed on the screen in the

web-mode (if they were included in the question); 2) answers were presented to the respondent on a card

(indicated by interviewer instructions and variable notes); or 3) answers were marked by the interviewer to best

correspond to the answer of the respondent (also indicated by interviewer instructions and variable note).

The term VALUE represents the code or numerical value that was assigned to each response. These are the

numbers that the user will find punched in the columns. The frequency of occurrence of each of the punch values

appears in the next three columns: first as a simple count of occurrences (i.e., unweighted frequency), then as a

marginal unweighted percent of the individual responses, and finally as a cumulative unweighted percent in the

final column headed

PCT Excl. Reserve Codes. Summations of these three columns can be found along the

SUBTOTALS row.

Respondents that did not choose one of the response codes, either intentionally or because they were not

applicable, are captured in the

RESERVE CODES table. The manner or reason of respondent item non-response is

denoted either as “Don’t Know,” “Skipped on Web,” or “Not applicable.” The counts and marginal unweighted

percent of these reserve codes is delineated in the following columns as was done with the VALUE table.

Responses are mutually exclusive (i.e., only one code can appear for each respondent for each question), and final

totals of all responses are in the final row, which is titled

TOTALS.

APPENDIX A: 2022 GSS Cross-section Outcomes

The overall weighted response rate for the 2022 GSS Cross-section data collection, baseline and AmeriSpeak®

oversample, was 46.5% percent, with 4,149 completes from 17,408 lines of sample (after subsampling) from two

frames. Both the response rate and number of completes exceeded our original targets. Case status broke out as

follows:

In 2022, the weighted response rate is 46.5% (AAPOR response rate 3). For this calculation, the GSS considers an

eligibility rate of .6062 (e) for unknown eligibility cases, estimated based on historical data of the sample frame.

There are 22 different weight values in the 2022 GSS weighted response rate. These weights were calculated

based on subsampling stages, unknown eligibility of cases, and other sample adjustments.

APPENDIX B: Mode Sensitivity in the 2022 GSS Cross-Section

Updated May 16, 2023

Introduction

In 2022, the GSS conducted a methodological experiment to (1) help bridge the 2018 and 2021 data with future

rounds of the GSS and (2) to help rein in growing costs associated with conducting an in-person field study. The

experiment divided the 2022 GSS sample into two conditions. The first condition contacted sampled households

for an in-person field interview first (as has been traditionally done in the GSS) and then nonrespondents were

offered a web option. In the second condition, sampled households were presented with a web survey first and

then nonrespondents were approached to participated in an in-person field interview. While the 2022 GSS

experiment was set up to compare data collection approaches and not directly compare modes, users are

encouraged to check for mode sensitivities, comparing cases completed in different modes.

While the GSS has always to some extent been a multimode survey (i.e., face-to-face with telephone), the 2022

GSS is the first year to conduct primary data collection with both face-to-face interviews and web questionnaires.

As a result of the experimental multimode approach, it is the first year in which potential mode sensitivity can be

better studied.

GSS data users should use caution when analyzing variables by mode of survey (the variable MODE in the data) in

the 2022 GSS data. Basic mode analyses may find differences between individual modes; however, the weights

included in the current release do not support single mode analyses. The current weights are provided to support

inferential statistics using all cases. While observed differences between modes may suggest mode sensitivities,

these are not true “mode effects.” The mode of completion for a respondent is determined by a number of factors,

including the experimental group the respondent was assigned, the sequence and timing of modes made available

to the respondent during the field period, the use of nonresponse follow-up approaches (such as offering larger

incentives and subsampling of nonrespondents), and measurement differences related to different modes (e.g.,

response order, interviewer effects, and/or social desirability bias).

Preliminary analysis

A preliminary review of 163 GSS variables fielded in 2022, typically associated with the GSS key trends, was

conducted to identify variables that may be sensitive to mode. We categorized these variables into three groups

based on their likelihood of being mode sensitive: likely mode sensitive, requires further investigation, and less

likely to be mode sensitive. Users should use caution particularly when looking at results by mode for variables

labeled in those first two categories. Variables not listed in the tables below have not been assessed by the GSS

team at this time. Users should not assume that because a particular variable is not listed that it is not likely to be

mode sensitive. The GSS team will provide further insights and analyses related to mode in future reports.

CODEBOOK | 52

To determine the categorization for each variable, we examined a multivariate logistic regression that regressed

each substantive category

of each variable (e.g., yes, no; or strongly agree, agree, disagree, and strongly disagree)

on demographic variables used in weighting (sex, age, ethnicity, race, education, marital status, foreign born status,

and region of country), experimental condition, and mode the survey was completed in. These models were

estimated accounting for the sample design (strata and clusters) and using analysis weights accounting for

sample design and nonresponse (WTSSNR). We then used the logistic regression coefficients to predict the

probabilities of a variables’ response options by the mode of completion.

Variables were assigned to “Likely mode

sensitive” when the likelihood that the difference in the observed predicted probabilities by mode of at least one

response category was equal to zero was less than 0.10 (or 10%) after adjusting for multiple comparisons through

a Bonferroni correction. Additional variables that did not meet the above criteria but were identified by the GSS

team as being of potential concern were assigned as “Requires further investigation”. All other variables were

categorized as “Less likely to be mode sensitive,” but researchers should still conduct their own mode sensitivity

analyses to understand their data.

Preliminary results

For those variables flagged as “Likely mode sensitive”, we see a variety of instances of mode sensitivities. The

ideal number of children question (CHLDIDEL) is a classic example of differences in stimulus between interviewer-

administered and self-administered modes. The category “As many as you want” is explicitly displayed on the web

whereas it is only recorded by the interviewer if the respondent provides this response. However, most of the

remaining variables identified are multipoint scales. Multiple national spending questions (NATCHLD, NATFAREY,

NATRACE, NATROAD) see shifts in response distributions between face-to-face and web with web respondents

favoring one endpoint or the other (e.g., “Too much” or “Too little”), depending on the topic, over the more neutral

category or opposite endpoint. Similarly, confidence in certain institutions (CONEDUC, CONLEGIS, CONMEDIC)

shifts from greater levels of confidence (e.g., “A great deal”) in face-to-face to lower levels of confidence (e.g., “Only

some”, “Hardly any”) on the web. Several Yes/No questions also see large differences including many of the police

violence items (POLABUSE, POLATTAK, POLMURDR) and whether a racist should be allowed to speak in your

community (SPKRAC). Finally, we do see nominal categorical responses also differ my mode like voting-related

variables (VOTE16, VOTE20) which estimate higher rates of reported voting on the web. While party identification

(PARTYID) is constructed from multiple questions, web respondents more often provided responses across this

question set that categorized them as Independents without leanings towards Republicans or Democrats. For the

multipoint scale, yes/no, and categorical responses, these differences could be due to cognitive differences

between aural and visual processing or interviewer effects.

For those variables flagged as “Requires further investigation”, we see very similar patterns for web respondents

on additional national spending items (more to one endpoint, dependent on topic), additional voting items (higher

rates of voting for a non-party candidate if they had voted for those who were ineligible or failed to vote) beliefs

about women in the workplace (more extreme responses), and certain abortion and suicide items (yes/no). In

We ignore missing values (“Don’t Know”, “No Answer”, “Skipped on Web”, “Refused”) for this analysis. Preliminary analyses

show that there are some significant differences in item missing rates by mode when combining all item missing values, with

web often having fewer missing values (e.g., CAPPUN, CONLABOR, DISCAFF, and nearly every national spending measure).

Voting measures (e.g., IF20WHO, PRES20, and VOTE20) and non-English language speaking ability (SPKLANG) have higher

item missing rates on web.

CODEBOOK | 53

addition, web respondents reported much lower religious activity and beliefs across multiple religious measures

(ATTEND, PRAY, REBORN, RELPERSN, SAVESOUL).

These findings are limited for several reasons. First, we have not controlled for several variables we think may play

a role in mode sensitivity such as timing on when the mode was offered, incentive amount, or non-demographic

explanatory variables. Second, many variables we consider here have multiple response categories (typically as

part of a response scale) where collapsing categories may reduce the instances of differences due to the

granularity which may be impacted by aural versus visual processing (e.g., categorizing church attendance into

three commonly used categories such as almost every week, sometimes and never). We intend to refine these

analyses this summer and develop tools that help analysts handle potential mode sensitivities when analyzing

GSS survey data over time. These tools could consist of new survey weights that are mode specific, updated

weights that adjust for the multimode design, or using imputation methods (Kolenikov and Kennedy 2014; Suzer-

Gurtekin et al. 2018; Brick et al. 2022).

APPENDIX D: Other GSS Datasets and Documentation

2016-2020 GSS Panel Data (in STATA & SAS)

• The dataset from the panel reinterviews of past respondents from the 2016 and 2018 Cross-section GSS

Studies. This dataset is most helpful for those seeking person-level changes, particularly changes resulting

from: 1) the passage of time, 2) the COVID-19 pandemic, and 3) the shift from face-to-face (F2F) to web

self-administered questionnaire (SAQ). The 2016-2020 GSS panel survey was fielded from August 24,

2020, to September 26, 2020.

GSS-ANES

• The 2016-2020 GSS Panel Wave 2 includes a collaboration between the GSS and American National

Election Studies (ANES), which was planned before the COVID-19 pandemic and was extensively modified

in light of delays in data collection. The 2016-2020 GSS Panel Wave 2 interview contained a module of

items drawn from the ANES, including attitudes on several issues, feelings thermometers for the

presidential candidates, and plans for voting in the 2020 presidential election. Following the completion of

the 2016-2020 GSS Panel Wave 2 in September 2020, all respondents who: 1) were U.S. citizens, 2) could

be located within U.S. voting districts, and 3) completed the ANES module were eligible and were contacted

to complete the 2020 ANES postelection survey. Any eligible citizen who completed both surveys (i.e.,

Wave 2 GSS survey and the ANES follow-up questionnaire) can be linked with a key, which will be available

in the future. For more information, please see the ANES/GSS collaboration codebook, which will be

available later in 2021.

GSS Codebook

• This is the legacy codebook that combines all of the notes, appendices, and frequency tables of the GSS

since its inception in 1972 up through 2018:

https://gss.norc.org/Documents/codebook/gss_codebook.zip

. This is useful to see how trends have

changed over the decades, find question-level wording, and find when questions were added or

discontinued.

• The 2021 GSS Codebook contains the notes, appendices, and frequency tables for the 2021 GSS Cross-

section. It contains the fullest discussion of how the GSS managed a rapid transition to a web mode of

administration.

GSS Data Explorer

• A web-based interactive tool to access and analyze GSS data, question wording, and ballot timing:

https://gssdataexplorer.norc.org/

. The Data Explorer is helpful to visualize individual variables’ trend lines

or extract data into various software packages. As of December 2021, the Data Explorer is on its 2.0

release, and users with accounts from 1.0 may have to recreate previous analysis.

GSS Panel (2006-2014) Release Notes and Datasets (in SPSS & STATA)

• In 2006 the GSS started a transition from a replicating cross-sectional design to a design that uses rotating

panels. By 2008, there were two components: a new 2008 cross-section with 2,023 cases and the first

reinterviews with 1,536 respondents from the 2006 GSS. In 2010 the new design was fully implemented.

There was a new cross-section of 2,044 cases, the first reinterviews of the 2008 GSS respondents, and the

second and final reinterviews of the 2006 GSS respondents. This three-wave, rolling panel design was also

CODEBOOK | 57

used in 2012. Each GSS in 2006–2010 thus started a new four-year/three-wave panel, which was

completed four years later (2006-08-10, 2008-10-12, 2010-12-14). However, in 2012 no new three-wave

panel was started. The table below shows the design of how the various panels overlapped in time but not

National Congregations Study (NCS)

• In the 1998, 2006, 2012, and 2018 GSS, respondents who attend religious services were asked to name

their religious congregation. A variety of information about each congregation was gathered from the

interview with a key informant at each congregation in 1998 and 2006–2007. A third round based on the

2012 GSS was conducted in 2012. A fourth round based on the 2018 GSS was conducted in 2018. These

studies were administered by NORC, having Mark Chaves as Principal Investigator of the NCS. More

information is available from the National Congregations Study

website.

National Organizations Survey (NOS)

• In the 1991 GSS, the survey collected the name and contact information of the employer of the respondent

and their spouse. Arne L. Kalleberg, David Knoke, Peter V. Marsden, and Joe L. Spaeth carried out a follow-

up study of these employers, producing the first wave of the National Organizations Survey (NOS). The

NOS has 727 cases that consist of a) information on the employer, b) information about the GSS

respondent and/or spouse employed by the employer, and c) aggregate industry-level information. The

second wave of NOS (n=516) was collected in 2002 based on the 2002 GSS respondents. Both files are

available from ICPSR

GSS-National Death Index (NDI)

• The National Death Index (NDI) is a database of all the deaths in the United States. The NDI allows

investigators to determine whether persons in their studies have died by providing: 1) names of the state

in which those deaths occurred, 2) dates of death, 3) corresponding death certificate numbers, and 4)

causes of death. In the 2009–2010, GSS respondents from 1978 to 2002 were linked to the National Death

Index. This study was carried out by Peter Muennig, Columbia University. This study was later expanded

to include GSS respondents through 2010 determining whether they had died as of 2014. The indicator of

possible vital status as of 2014 (variable name: DEATH) is now part of the downloadable GSS data. For

Variable: SIZE Type: Numeric

Label: SIZE OF PLACE:

Size of place in thousands is a 4 digit code which provides

actual size of place of interview.

Remember when using this code to add 3 zeros.

Listed below are the frequencies for gross population

categories.

Notes:

This code is the population to the nearest 1,000 of the smallest

civil division listed by the U.S. Census

(city, town, other incorporated area over 1,000 in population,

township, division, etc.) which encompasses the segment.

If a segment falls into more than one locality,

the following rules apply in determining the locality for which

the rounded population figure is coded.

If the predominance of the listings for any segment are in one

of the localities,

the rounded population of that locality is coded.

If the listings are distributed equally over localities in the

segment, and the localities are all cities, towns, or villages,

the rounded population of the larger city or town is coded.

The same is true if the localities are all rural townships or

divisions.

If the listings are distributed equally over localities in the

segment and the localities include a town or village and a

rural township or division,

the rounded population of the town or village is coded.

The source of the data is the 1970 U.S. Census p

In 2008 an error in a skip instruction was discovered shortly

before the start of the field period.

It was not possible to correct the error until after data

collection had started.

The program correction was implemented starting April 25.

As a result,

151 cases in the cross-sectional on versions 1 or 2 who

should have been asked vocabulary questions were wrongly

skipped.

More details on this sample matter are available from the

project.

Variable: VIETDRAFT Type: Numeric

Label: Born on date with a Vietnam War draft lottery number

Notes: This variable takes an input of any date from 01/01/1945 to 12/31/1956

(the range of birth dates that were eligible for conscription during the Vietnam War)

and reports whether respondents born on that date had a draft lottery number that meant that they would have been

drafted to serve in the Vietnam War. The draft lottery only applied to men,

but women are coded for purposes of a placebo test.

Please also note that citizenship status was not considered when we assigned codes due to the insufficient information

we have. Approximately 10% of those cases who were originally coded to 0 or 1 on VIETDRAFT were perturbed.

For more information about the variable, see the Selective Service System's Vietnam Lottery records webpage

(https://www.sss.gov/history-and-records/vietnam-lotteries/)

(alternatively,

https://www.randomservices.org/random/data/Draft.html provides data for all draft years in a single table).
