History

Sampling

The sample was randomly selected from the 1999 New Zealand Electoral Rolls. The achieved sample is generally representative of the New Zealand population 18 years and over, but people under 30 are underrepresented in the sample, while those over 30 are overrepresented.

Data Collector

Department of Marketing, Massey University.

Mode of Collection

Mail survey: the questionnaire together with a covering letter was sent to the 2,075 selected participants on 8 August 2002. A reminder postcard was sent to all participants on 22 August. A second reminder and a second copy of the questionnaire were mailed to participants had not been returned after a further two weeks. A final reminder letter was sent to all remaining non-respondents on 19 September. The survey was closed on 30 October, 12 weeks after the initial mailing.

Series Information

The ISSP is a continuing annual programme of cross-national collaboration on surveys covering topics important for social science research. It brings together pre-existing social science projects and coordinates research goals, thereby adding a cross-national, cross-cultural perspective to the individual national studies. ISSP researchers especially concentrate on developing questions that are meaningful and relevant to all countries, and can be expressed in an equivalent manner in all relevant languages.
