Methodology
Geographic Coverage
Universe
All persons (German and non-German) who resided in private households on the day of the interview and were born before 1 January 1990
Selection Method
Sample of individuals: Two stage disproportionate random sample in western Germany (incl. West Berlin) and eastern Germany (incl. East Berlin). In the first sample stage municipalities (Gemeinden) in western Germany and municipalities in eastern Germany were selected with a probability proportional to their number of adult residents; in the second sample stage individual persons were selected at random from the municipal registers of residents. Targeted individuals who did not have adequate knowledge of German to conduct the interview were treated as systematic unit non-responses.
Mode of Data Collection
Personal interview with standardized questionnaire (CAPI - Computer Assisted Personal Interviewing), one question battery on political knowledge as CASI (Computer Assisted Self-Interviewing) Two additional questionnaires (CASI) for ISSP (split questionnaire design).
