AB This file combines the fourth and fifth studies in the National Social Science Survey (NSSS) series and repeats many of the questions asked in previous rounds. While conducted as two separate mail surveys, questionnaires for the Family Survey, conducted in 1989-90, and the Lifestyles Survey, conducted in 1990, were identical for the most part allowing responses from both samples to be combined. The Family Survey component also includes questions asked as part of the International Social Survey Programme (ISSP) study of Family and Changing Sex Roles. Comparative data from all countries in the ISSP have been processed and distributed by the Zentralarchiv fur Empirische Sozialforschung (ZA) at the University of Cologne (ZA Study 1700,1988).
