History

Sampling

The sample was randomly selected from the 2002 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 2,200 selected participants on 11 September 2003. A reminder letter and a second copy of the questionnaire were mailed to those who had not yet responded on 25 September. A second reminder and a third copy of the questionnaire were sent to those that still had not responded on 16 October. A final reminder, and just a reminder, was sent to the remaining non-respondents on 4 November; then the survey was closed on 28 November, 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.
