National Race and Politics Survey, United States, 1991

The 1991 National Race and Politics Survey was a nationwide random-digit telephone survey carried out by the Survey Research Center of the University of California, Berkeley. A mailback survey of willing respondents to the telephone survey was also carried out. Data from the mailback survey are also included in the data file.
The telephone and mailback surveys included many questions related to racial attitudes and political orientation. There were also many questions on values, personality measures, and goals. A multi-disciplinary research team planned the survey and developed the questionnaire. The telephone interview was a computer-assisted survey that incorporated many randomized experiments, including vignettes and unobtrusive measures.
