These reference groups include the childhood family, current family (nuclear as well as extended), neighbourhood acquaintances and friends, and union contacts. Each group is dealt with in a separate sequence, rounded off by asking the respondent for a subjective assessment of the influence he perceives the group to have had on his own political views. Voting and political party participation history is taken. Attitudes towards local government functionaries and functions are assessed. Indicators of political knowledge include correct identification of councillors and aldermen, members of parliament, the mayor (plus whether any of these dignitaries have ever been contacted and with what outcome), knowledge of local and national issues, and ward politics, readership of newspapers and knowledge of the newspapers' political bias are given. Knowledge or political sophistication is tapped also in a question which asks what strategy the respondent would adopt if he `wanted to get something done in Salford'. Background Variables Length of residency in Salford, place of birth, nationality, date of birth, sex, religion, respondent's subjective social class, characteristics of respondent's childhood family including parents' occupation and subject's assessment of parental social class, parental party preferences, respondent's educational history, income, characteristics of current family, respondent's first and current occupations (6 categories, plus place of work and industry type and size), and current occupation of spouse. 19 March 1970 - 13 April 197019 March 197013 April 1970 England Greater Manchester IndividualsSubnationalElectors Those people contained in 1970 electoral roll within the administrative boundaries of the City of Salford (excluding members of the armed services and those people not of voting age at the time of the survey) Cross-sectional (one-time) study One-stage stratified or systematic random samplethe stratification factor was size of ward electorate Face-to-face interview The Data Collection is available to UK Data Service registered users subject to the <a href="https://ukdataservice.ac.uk/app/uploads/cd137-enduserlicence.pdf" target="_blank">End User Licence Agreement</a>.Commercial use of the data requires approval from the data owner or their nominee.
