Note 1
Data of this ISSP module were mostly prepared by our partners at JDS/ASEP in Spain.

Note 2
The data sets from Italy and Venezuela were delivered at the Archive after the final release had been prepared. They are included in the integrated file, beginning with version 3.0.0. Lithuania has not been an ISSP member in 2009 but carried out the ISSP 2009 survey in 2010/2011 along with ISSP 2010. Their data is included in the integrated file since version 4.0.0.

Note 3
The data set from Canada is not included in the integrated file based on decision of the Methodolocigal Committee due to low response rate and limitations of the sample database. The dataset from the Netherlands was handed in too late and could not be integrated retrospectively because the survey was done four years later than in most other countries. Both data sets can be downloaded as separate data files under the study numbers ZA5389 (Canada) and ZA5995 (Netherlands).

Note 4
There is a patch file available that serves to simplify the use of V67 'Q21a How much money would be left if the home you and your family live in was sold without any debts?' and V68 'Q21b About how much money would be left if you and/ or your immediate family converted to cash all savings?' in data analyses. By running the syntax commands, V67 and V68 are split to country-specific variables. As values, class midpoints are computed for each country and monetary class, see 'ZA5400_v4-0-0-0_Patch V67-V68.sps' in the GESIS Data Catalogue.
