ALLBUS/GGSS 2016 (Allgemeine Bevölkerungsumfrage der Sozialwissenschaften/German General Social Survey 2016): Supplementary Data Set Open Question ´Foreigners´

This data set contains data in connection with an open question fielded as part of ALLBUS 2016 that could not be included in the regular scientific use file. In this question, respondents were asked which groups they associated with the the phrase ´foreigners living in Germany´ (´in Deutschland lebende Ausländer´). The question was only surveyed with respondents who were German citizens. This data set documents the full responses for all respondents as well as a categorization of all discrete answer parts according to a specially developed coding scheme (comp. Wasmer, Kwasniok and Kialunda (2018)). Additionally, this data set contains some basic identification variables, demographic characteristics and weights.

1.) Id-variables dataset: study-number, doi, version
2.) Id-variables respondent: respondent Id
3.) Sociodemographic basics: age, gender, German citizenship, interview in east or west Germay
