QUESTION:

In addition to being an American what do you consider your main

(IF MORE THAN 1 GROUP MENTIONED:) With which of these groups do you
most closely identify?
VALID_CODES:
------------
010-874. Ethnicity as coded
MISSING_CODES:
--------------
877. 'American'; 'Just American'; none; neither
(response to 'choice' question); NA
888. DK
000. Short-form 'new' Cross Section (1992)
Inap. question not used
NOTES:
------
See ethnicicty codes- Appendix "ETHNICITY"
GENERAL NOTE:
This represents the single mention of respondents who indicated only
1 ethnic group and the 'most close' group (followup question) of
respondents who indicated more than 1 ethnic group.
There is no code to single out Rs who volunteered to assert their
'American' identity. This is because in most years these Rs were
combined with NA and/or 'none' (no ethnic identity).
1978 NOTE:
A version of this question which included a (filter) lead-in was used:
'In addition to being an American, is there another nationality group
or ethnic group that you feel you belong to? [IF YES] What...'
Because of this format, the 1978 distributions varied dramatically from
other years, and 1978 data have not been included.
1992 NOTE:
This was not part of the 'short-form' questionnaire; for short-form
panel cases, however, 1990 study data were incorporated.
1994 NOTE:
For panel cases, 1992 data were incorporated.
1996 NOTE:
In a few cases R identified 2 or more nationality/ethnicity groups but
the interviewer did not ask the 'choice' followup (due to incorrect
completion of the IWR checkpoint); since R's chosen nationality/
ethnicity remained undetermined, these cases (30) were considered
missing data (code 99 here).
2004 NOTE:
For respondents who gave multiple mentions but did not choose one
ethnic group as closest, 1st mention is coded.
