(1964,1968-1972, 1976: What about you?) Are you in favor of desegregation, strict segregation, or something in between?
Segregation or desegregation · Asked in 6 waves, 1964–1978 · 11,181 responses · weighted estimates computed from individual responses
Codebook weight: VCF0011x/VCF0011y/VCF0011z (differs from VCF0009z only in 1970). NA code treated as not asked where it exceeds 10% of a year's answers (an unlabeled split or filter): 0 in 1970. Kept and flagged: 0 (no_answer), 9 (dk). Codebook notes: GENERAL NOTE: Weight variable VCF0011/VCF0011A must be used if distributions including 1970 data are desired: see VCF0011. Note that use of VCF0011/VCF0011A as a weight reduces the 1970 total N for this variable: form 1 whites who should appear as code 0 INAP cases are excluded from the 1970 total N. In years except 1978, this question followed questions asking R to evaluate whether blacks/whites in R’s area favor segregation.
