United States Citizenship, Involvement, Democracy (CID) Survey, 2006

This data collection represents a loose collaboration between Georgetown University's Center for Democracy and Civil Society (CDACS) and the European Social Survey (ESS). The data in Part 1 are from the United States Citizenship, Involvement, Democracy (CID) Survey, which was conducted between mid-May and mid-July of 2005, and consists of in-person interviews with a representative sample of 1,001 Americans who responded to an 80-minute questionnaire. The CID survey is a study of American civic engagement, social capital, and democracy in comparative perspective, and it provides perspective on citizen participation in both the public and private realms. The CID survey is integrated with several elements of a module from the 2002 version of the ESS, which was administered in 22 European countries. In addition to the replicated questions from the ESS, the CID survey includes questions related to the themes of social capital, activities in formal clubs and organizations, informal social networks and activities, personal networks (strong and weak ties), the composition and diversity of ties and associations, trust (in other people, the community, institutions, and politicians), local democracy and participation, democratic values, political citizenship, social citizenship, views on immigration and diversity, political identification, ideology, mobilization and action, and tolerance (concerning views and attitudes, least-liked groups, and racial stereotypes). In order to facilitate and encourage the common use of several key variables, and to help individual users to avoid having to create certain scales and indices, the data in Part 1, Citizenship, Involvement, Democracy Survey Data (US Only), also include the following constructed variables: generalized trust, political action, party identification, participation in voluntary organizations, citizenship norms, the diversity of social networks, racial prejudice/negative stereotypes, national pride, attitudes toward immigrants, and demographic factors. The data in Part 2, 2002 European Social Survey (ESS) Data Integrated with US Data, comprise the responses from the 2002 ESS merged with the responses from the US CID, but only contains the questions common to both the US CID and the 2002 ESS (without any constructed variables). The central aim of the ESS is to measure and explain how people's social values, cultural norms, and behavior patterns are distributed, the way in which they differ within and between nations, and the direction and speed at which they are changing. Data collection for the ESS takes place every two years, by means of face-to-face interviews of around an hour in duration. Demographic variables for Part 1 and Part 2 include race, gender, age, marital status, income, religious preference, and highest level of education.

本数据集系乔治城大学民主与公民社会中心（CDACS）与欧洲社会调查（ESS）之间松散合作的产物。数据集第一部分源于2005年5月至7月期间进行的美国公民身份、参与度、民主（CID）调查，该调查包括对1,001名受访者的面对面访谈，受访者接受了为期80分钟的问卷调查。CID调查旨在从比较视角研究美国公民参与、社会资本及民主，并提供了关于公民在公共及私人领域参与情况的见解。CID调查与2002年版ESS模块的多个要素相结合，该模块在22个欧洲国家实施。除了ESS的复制问题外，CID调查还涵盖了与社会资本、正式俱乐部和组织活动、非正式社交网络和活动、个人网络（强关系和弱关系）、联系和协会的组成与多样性、信任（对他人的、社区的、机构的和政治人物的信任）、地方民主与参与、民主价值观、政治公民、社会公民、对移民和多样性的看法、政治认同、意识形态、动员与行动以及容忍度（涉及观点和态度、最不喜欢的群体以及种族刻板印象）等主题相关的问题。为了促进和鼓励关键变量的共同使用，并帮助个别用户避免创建某些量表和指标，数据集第一部分——仅限美国的公民身份、参与度、民主调查数据（CID Survey Data, US Only）还包括以下构建变量：泛化信任、政治行动、政党认同、自愿组织参与、公民规范、社交网络的多样性、种族偏见/负面刻板印象、国家自豪感、对移民的态度以及人口统计因素。数据集第二部分——整合美国数据的2002年欧洲社会调查（ESS）数据，包含2002年ESS的回应与美国CID的回应的合并，但仅包含美国CID与2002年ESS共有的问题（不包含任何构建变量）。ESS的核心目标是衡量和解释人们的社会价值观、文化规范和行为模式是如何分布的，它们在国家内部和国家之间的差异，以及它们变化的方向和速度。ESS的数据收集每两年进行一次，通过大约持续一个小时的面对面访谈进行。第一部分和第二部分的统计数据变量包括种族、性别、年龄、婚姻状况、收入、宗教偏好以及最高教育水平。
