Notes
General Social Survey, 2004: General Social Survey: Since 1972, the National Opinion Research Center has conducted a nationwide survey of a random sample of U.S. citizens on a near-yearly basis—the General Social Survey (GSS). In addition to gathering detailed demographic information on respondents, the GSS gathers opinions on a wide variety of topics, such as the role of government in public life, controversial issues such as abortion, confidence in public institutions and a host of others. Of course, respondents are unlikely to spend five hours completing a survey so in order to gather data on a broad range of issues the GSS has adopted the practice of rotating groups of questions into and out of the survey in different years.
* The list that follows includes items
you may or may not experience. Please consider if and how often
you have these experiences, and try to disregard whether you
feel you should or should not have them. A number of items use
the word - God. - If this word is not a comfortable one, please
substitute another idea that calls to mind the divine or holy
for you. "You may experience the following in your daily life,
if so how often."
