Data Instructions ? Study #2

    You will each enter five lines of data that you need to e-mail to me no later than 8:00 p.m. on Sunday 10/15.
    Each variable should have one space between it and the next variable.  At the end of each line of data, hit return and start a new line for the next subject.  There is no need to skip lines between each subject�s data.
     Each line of data should have 22 numbers, one for each of the 21 variables we measured, and one for your ID# which will be assigned in class.
 

***Missing data should be recorded as 999.***

Variable Number                 What You Need To Do

Legal Opinions                Just type what they wrote down.  If you can't read it and you can't
(1-12 on front)                guess what it says, record it as missing data (as if it were left blank).
                                             If they write a number not between 1 and 9, record that as missing also.

Racial Attitudes               Same as above.  Just type what they write down.
(1-6 on back page)

Age                                     Type what they write down in years.  If someone is precise enough to list months, use decimal points.

Gender                               Record gender as follows:  Male = 0
                                                                                        Female = 1

Race                                    Record race as follows:

                  White/Caucasian = 1               Black/African-American = 2
                  Asian/Asian-American = 3      Latino/Hispanic = 4
                  Arab-American = 5                  Indian = 6
                  Native American = 7               Mixed Race = 8
                  Other = 9

                                            This is not a value judgment about other races not being important, but we can only have so many
                                              categories.  If I omitted your race, the race of your participants, or forced you to categorize yourself in a
                                              manner you're uncomfortable with, I apologize�

Experimenter ID#           This will be a number 1-23 that I will assign to you in class.  All five of your data lines will have the same ID#
 

Here's an example of what one of your five lines of data might look like in your email to me.

3 5 2 9 1 2 2 999 4 5 9 2 9 1 1 3 6 3 28 0 1 18
     (note that this subject must've left legal opinion #8 blank, thus the 999)
