Summary
The General Social Surveys (GSS) have been conducted by the National Opinion Research Center annually since 1972 except for the years 1979, 1981, and 1992 (a supplement was added in 1992), and biennially beginning in 1994. The GSS are designed as part of a program of social indicator research, replicating questionnaire items and wording in order to facilitate time-trend studies. Items in the 1988 GSS include a special module on religion (with items measuring religious socialization, behaviors, and beliefs).
To download syntax files for the GSS that reproduce well-known religious group recodes, including RELTRAD, please visit the ARDA's Syntax Repository.
Survey data were taken utilizing personal interviews.
Sampling Procedures
The 1988 GSS is a national probability sample. Full probability sampling was employed in for all noninstitutionalized English-speaking persons 18 years of age or older, living in the United States.
The national sample uses a variation of the stratified probability proportional to size (PPS) method. First, the nation is divided into clusters, called primary sampling units (PSUs). PSUs are based on counties; the total number of households in each county, as reported by the most recent census....Each metropolitan county is regarded as a PSU, as are many nonmetropolitan counties. Sparsely populated rural counties are merged into adjacent county units to obtain a minimum of 2,000 housing units.
Since NORC samples are based on 100 PSUs, the total number of housing units for a year is divided by 100 to yield a sampling interval (some PSUs have total numbers of housing units exceeding the sampling interval, making it impossible for them not to be included in a sample, see Tourangeau, Johnson, Qian, and Shin, 1993 for further discussion on how these PSUs are treated). Each PSU is assigned a number range based on its total number of housing units. Then a random number is selected, and the first PSU selected is the one within whose range the random number falls. Additional PSUs were selected by adding the sample interval to the initial random number on a cumulative basis.
Once the 100 PSUs are selected, block segments consisting of linked groups of one or more geographically contiguous census blocs are also selected. Segment selections were made using PPS methods on the basis of the total number of housing units in the PPS relative to the national total.

During the last month [John/Juan/Mary/Maria] has started to drink more than his/her usual amount of alcohol. In fact, he/she has noticed that he/she needs to drink twice as much as he/she used to get the same effect. Several times, he/she has tried to cut down, or stop drinking, but he/she can't. Each time he/she has tried to cut down, he/she became very agitated, sweaty and he/she couldn't sleep, so he/she took another drink. His/Her family has complained that he/she is often hungover, and has become unreliable -- making plans one day, and canceling them the next. (Major depression) [John/Juan/Mary/Maria] is a [white/African American/Hispanic] [man/woman] with an [eighth grade/high school/college] education. For the past two weeks [John/Juan/Mary/Maria] has been feeling really down. He/She wakes up in the morning with a flat heavy feeling that sticks with him/her all day long. He/She isn't enjoying things the way he/she normally would. In fact nothing gives him/her pleasure. Even when good things happen, they don't seem to make [John/Juan/Mary/Maria] happy. He/She pushes on through his/her days, but it is really hard. The smallest tasks are difficult to accomplish. He/She finds it hard to concentrate on anything. He/She feels out of energy and out of steam. And even though [John/Juan/Mary/Maria] feels tired, when night comes he/she can't go to sleep. [John/Juan/Mary/Maria] feels pretty worthless, and very discouraged. [John's/Juan's/Mary's/Maria's] family has noticed that he/she hasn't been himself/herself for about the last month and that he/she has pulled away from them. [John/Juan/Mary/Maria] just doesn't feel like talking. (Schizophrenia) [John/Juan/Mary/Maria] is a [white/African American/Hispanic] [man/woman] with an [eighth grade/high school/college] education. Up until a year ago, life was pretty okay for [John/Juan/Mary/Maria]. But then, things started to change. He/She thought that people around him/her were making disapproving comments, and talking behind his/her back. [John/Juan/Mary/Maria] was convinced that people were spying on him/her and that they could hear what he/she was thinking. [John/Juan/Mary/Maria] lost his/her drive to participate in his/her usual work and family activities and retreated to his/her home, eventually spending most of his/her day in his/her room. [John/Juan/Mary/Maria] was hearing voices even though no one else was around. These voices told him/her what do and what to think. He/She has been living this way for six months. (Drug problem) [John/Juan/Mary/Maria] is a [white/African American/Hispanic] [man/woman] with an [eighth grade/high school/college] education. A year ago [John/Juan/Mary/Maria] sniffed cocaine for the first time with friends at a party. During the last few months he/she has been snorting it in binges that last several days at a time. He/She has lost weight and often experiences chills when binging. [John/Juan/Mary/Maria] has spent his/her savings to buy cocaine. When [John's/Juan's/Mary's/Maria's] friends try to talk about the changes they see, he/she becomes angry and storms out. Friends and family have also noticed missing possessions and suspect [John/Juan/Mary/Maria] has stolen them. He/She has tried to stop snorting cocaine, but can't. Each time he/she tries to stop he/she feels very tired, depressed and unable to sleep. He/She lost his/her job a month ago, after not showing up for work. (No problem) [John/Juan/Mary/Maria] is a [white/African American/Hispanic] [man/woman] with an [eighth grade/high school/college education]. Up until a year ago, life was pretty okay for [John/Juan/Mary/Maria]. While nothing much was going wrong in [John's/Juan's/Mary's/Maria's] life he/she sometimes feels worried, a little sad, or has trouble sleeping at night. [John/Juan/Mary/Maria] feels that at times things bother him/her more than they bother other people and that when things go wrong, he/she sometimes gets nervous or annoyed. Otherwise [John/Juan/Mary/Maria] is getting along pretty well. He/She enjoys being with other people and although [John/Juan/Mary/Maria] sometimes argues with his/her family, [John/Juan/Mary/Maria] has been getting along pretty well with his/her family.
