Ross WORK, FAMILY, AND WELL-BEING IN THE UNITED STATES, 1990 (ICPSR 6666) SUMMARY: This study measures the effects of various social conditions on individuals' physical and mental health. For the survey, respondents provided information on a multitude of aspects of their daily lives, including economic obligations (such as child care, medical care, food, clothing, and bills) and health and well-being (amount of exercise, vital statistics such as height and weight, whether they smoked, and whether they had difficulty with daily activities like climbing stairs, kneeling, carrying objects that weigh less than ten pounds, seeing, hearing, and walking). In addition, respondents described their work and employment status, activities they performed, how they felt about what they did, and the kind of relationship they had with their supervisors. Respondents also answered questions related to household and family, such as how many people lived in the household, what kind of child care they used, and how much they participated in household activities like cooking, shopping, laundry, repairs, and bill-paying. Demographic information on respondents includes marital status, education, birth year, race, religion, and income. UNIVERSE: United States households. SAMPLING: National probability sample.

SURVEY METHODOLOGY AND TECNICAL APPENDIX "Work, Family and Well-Being" Catherine E. Ross Purpose The general purpose is to examine the effects of social conditions on physical and mental health, and the explanations for the social patterns of well-being. The data include: socioeconomic status, paid and unpaid work, work conditions such as autonomy, routinzation, and fulfillment; family conditions and interpersonal relationships, quality of marriage, division of labor, child care arrangements and difficulties; social psychological resources such as the sense of control over life; social support; health lifestyle, such as smoking, drinking, exercising, and overweight; and a number of mental health indicators, including depression, anxiety, anger, fear, mistrust, malaise; and physical health indicators, including self- reported health and physical functioning. With the data, Ross and her colleagues have looked at age and depression, fear and health, overweight and depression, gender and health, marriage and psychological well-being; education and health; and in all cases the explanations for these patterns, which include work and economic conditions, the sense of control, health lifestyle, social support, and so on. The publications from these data are listed below. Sample "Work, Family and Well-being"is based on a 1990 telephone survey of a national probability sample of U.S. households. Sampling followed the Waksberg-Mitofsky random-digit dialing procedure, which ensures the inclusion of unlisted numbers (Waksberg, 1978). The interviewers called primarily during the evening and weekend. Unanswered working numbers were called back 10 times before being dropped. Non-household numbers were excluded (businesses, institutions, etc.) Within each household, the person eighteen years or older with the most recent birthday was selected as respondent. This is an efficient way to randomly select a respondent within the household (O'Rourke & Blair, 1983). Up to 10 calls back were made to selected respondents who could not be interviewed immediately. Of the selected respondents, 82.3 percent completed interviews, yielding a total of 2,031 respondents (1,282 females and 749 males), ranging in age from 18 to 90. The mean age is 43.5, with 23.4% of the sample under age 30 and 21.2% age 60 or older. Of the total sample, 58% are married and another 3% report living together as married; 18% report never being married; 12% are divorced or separated; and 10% are widowed. Ten percent of the sample is black. There is one adult in 25% of the sample's households, two in 60%, three in 10%, and four or more in 5%. The average number of adults in a household is 2, and the average number of children under age 18 in a household is .747. Forty-one percent of respondents live in a household with at least one child under the age of 18. The mean household income is $38,632. The mean education is 13.2 years, with 28% of the sample holding a bachelors degree or higher and with 13% having less than a high school degree. The sampling method produces a sample with characteristics broadly representative of the U.S. population as a whole. For example, the mean household income in the U.S. in 1990 was $37,922 compared to $38,632 in the sample (U.S. statistics from United States Bureau of the Census 1993). Among the adults age 25 and older the median education is 12.4 years in the U.S. compared to 12.0 in the sample. In the U.S., 11% of householders are black, compared to 10% here. Sixty percent of U.S. adults are married, compared to 58% of the sample. Of the adults aged 20 and older, the breakdown of the population and of the sample respectively is 22.9% and 21.5% in their 20s, 23.6% and 25.6% in their 30s, 17.7 and 18.9% in their 40s, 12.3% and 12.2% in their 50s, and 23.6% and 21.3% in their 60s or older. Although the demographic profiles of the population and sample are broadly comparable, the sample overrepresents women. Males are 47.8% of the U.S. population age 18 and over and 36.2% of the sample. Methodological investigation of the sampling procedure finds that most of the difference probably arises because women are more likely to answer the phone than their male partners, and the person who answers sometimes gatekeeps for the person selected (O'Rourke & Lakner, 1989).

EXPLANATION OF EARN2 AND FAMINC2 CODING SCHEME Technical Appendix. Measurement of Household and Personal Income Survey researchers face a trade-off between response rates and precision in the measurement of income. Asking people to report their income in categories (often $10,000 categories) loses information about exact income, but maximizes response. On the other hand, asking people to report exact income produces precise income reports, but increases non-response. Survey researchers usually measure income either as exact reports or as categories, but not both (Locander and Burton, 1976). They often assume that once a person has refused to report their exact income, it is unlikely that these refusals can be converted into non-refusals. However, the "door-in-the-face" approach assumes the opposite (Cialdini et al., 1975). Here, respondents are first asked about exact income, followed by a request for categorical income if the respondent does not answer the first. Response to the categorical income question may be greater than or at least equal to the usual response to categorical income questions if people are more likely to respond to a "smaller favor" (request for categorical income) after refusing a "larger favor" (request for exact income) (Cialdini et al., 1975; Hippler and Hippler, 1986; O'Rourke, 1992). When surveying respondent's personal and family incomes, we first ask for exact income (EARN1 and FAMINC1). If the respondent does not report an exact income, we begin a series of probes of approximate income (EARN2 and FAMINC2). First, interviewers asked respondents to report their exact personal income with the question, "During 1989, what was your personal income from your own wages, salary, or other sources, before taxes?" The lead question for household income was, "During 1989, what was your total household income, including income from all members of the household and from all sources, before taxes?" Of the respondents who did not report a dollar number, interviewers asked a set of nested probes, starting with, "Could you tell me, was it less than $30,000, more than $30,000, or $30,000 exactly? Those who reported less than $30,000 were further probed, was it less than $20,000? (yes, no, or $20,000 exactly). Of those who reported less than $20,000, interviewers further probed, was it less than $10,000? (yes, no, or $10,000 exactly). Respondents who reported more than $30,000 to the initial probe, were asked, was it less than $50,000, more than $50,000, or $50,000 exactly? Those responding less than $50,000 were asked, was it more than $40,000? (yes, no, $40,000 exactly). Those responding more than $50,000 were asked, was it more than $75,000? (yes, no, $75,000 exactly). Those responding more than $75,000 were asked was it more than $100,000? (yes, no, $100,000 exactly). The exact and categorical measures of FAMINC1/FAMINC2 and EARN1/EARN2 can be combined such that if a respondent does not answer the exact income query, an estimated income may be assigned on the basis of where that respondent stops answering or refuses to answer the categorical income query. The only case in which there is no basis to assign an approximate income value is when the respondent refuses to give an exact income, and also refuses to answer the first categorical income probe.
