Follow-Up of a New Case for the Liberal Arts, 1977

These data were collected as a follow-up of a subsample from the study conducted by Winter, McClelland, and Stewart in 1974 (Log# 00531). In late 1977, a Life Patterns Questionnaire was mailed to all members of the class of 1975 from the Ivy College subsample (69 males and 49 females). The response rate was approximately 70% for the total sample. The Life Patterns Questionnaire, containing both open-ended and precoded questions, elicited background information, college experiences, activities since graduation, and future aspirations. Most of the items were drawn from the original Life Patterns Questionnaire used in Stewart's 1960-1979 study (see Log# 00007). The Murray Research Archive holds numeric data files from the study. Original responses to the open-ended questions are also available.

本数据集为1974年Winter、McClelland与Stewart开展的研究（日志编号：00531）的子样本追踪调查所得数据。1977年末，研究团队向常春藤学院子样本中的1975届全体毕业生（共69名男性、49名女性）邮寄了《生活模式调查问卷》（Life Patterns Questionnaire）。整体样本的有效回收率约为70%。该问卷涵盖开放式问题与预编码问题两类，用于采集受访者的背景信息、大学就读经历、毕业后的活动情况以及未来抱负。问卷中的多数题目改编自Stewart在1960至1979年的研究中所使用的原版《生活模式调查问卷》（详见日志编号：00007）。默里研究档案馆（Murray Research Archive）保存有本研究的数值数据文件，同时也提供开放式问题的原始应答记录。
