Abstract

Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.


To provide a basis for understanding the relationships among the various multivariate techniques which are currently being used to analyse data obtained in social and behavioural sciences. More specifically, the data were used to try to evaluate the meaningfulness (and therefore the usefulness) of techniques in interpreting real sets of attitudinal data.
Main Topics:

Attitudinal/Behavioural Questions

Respondents were asked to match a range of attitudinal belief statements with particular brand names.
Background Variables
Age, sex, class, place of residence, occupation of head of household, special qualifications.
