Redmine Understanding Society User Support - Support #1180 (Resolved): BHPS + US harmonized measure of me...https://iserredex.essex.ac.uk/support/issues/11802019-04-03T07:40:11ZGiorgio Piccittogiorgio.piccitto@unimi.it
<p>Dear all, <br />I would like to know your opinion about the following issue: I am working with all the waves of BHPS + US, and I need to run some analyses on dependent variables measuring the mental well-being, psychological health or something similar.</p>
<p>In this sense, the only variable that I was able to find in both surveys is the Subjective wellbeing (GHQ). Is there any other variable related to this 'symptom' which is harmonized (and as such usable) in both surveys?</p>
<p>Thanks in advance, best, G.</p> Understanding Society User Support - Support #1085 (Resolved): Inapplicable and missing datahttps://iserredex.essex.ac.uk/support/issues/10852018-11-06T13:25:24ZGiorgio Piccittogiorgio.piccitto@unimi.it
<p>Dear all, <br />I am working with an appended dataset of the 7 waves, and I noticed something weird.</p>
<p>Some 'basic' variables, such as sex and highest qualification (qfhigh) have too many missing values or 'not applicable'. Also, sometimes in the same pidp the variable sex in with a value in one year and missing in one other year.<br />Is there any procedure that should be done to report the value of these variables when missing? Why it is so?<br />Thanks, best, g</p> Understanding Society User Support - Support #1005 (Resolved): Parents-children dyadshttps://iserredex.essex.ac.uk/support/issues/10052018-07-20T11:01:04ZGiorgio Piccittogiorgio.piccitto@unimi.it
<p>Dear all, <br />I would like to know your advise about the following issue:</p>
<p>I need to create dyads for each parents-children relationsship (thus, in one row information of father and children 1, in another mother and children 1, in another father and children 2, and so on and so forth).</p>
<p>Basically, from</p>
<p>a_hidp a_pno pidp a_sex a_dvage a_hgbiom a_hgbiof<br />1 1 68652807 female 48 0 0<br />1 2 68652811 male 46 0 0<br />1 3 68652815 female 17 1 2<br />1 4 68652819 male 20 1 2</p>
<p>to</p>
<p>a_hidp a_pno a_hgbiom a_sex a_dvage Mother_sex Mother_age Father_sex Father _age<br />1 3 1 female 17 female 48 . .<br />1 3 2 female 17 . . male 46<br />1 4 1 male 20 female 48 . .<br />1 4 2 male 20 . . male 46</p>
<p>I tried to adapt the procedure descripted in the example 7 (how to match the information of partners), but it did not work because Stata says "variables a_hidp a_pno do not uniquely identify observations in the master data"</p>
<p>I suspect that this is due to the fact that there is not a 1-to-1 correspondance between a_pno and a_hgbiom (a father\mother can have several children, differently from the relationsip 1 partner-to-1 partner).</p>
<p>Do you have any clue about how to do this task?</p>
<p>Thanks a lot in advance for your support.<br />Best, G.</p> Understanding Society User Support - Support #1003 (Resolved): Id Pnohttps://iserredex.essex.ac.uk/support/issues/10032018-07-16T18:08:53ZGiorgio Piccittogiorgio.piccitto@unimi.it
<p>Dear Users, <br />I would like to know your advise on how identifying the progressive number of each member of household (and so understanding his\her 'position' within the household).<br />I mean, I understood that the variable <del>pno</del> identifies this, but I did not find its legend (so what 1, 2, 3, ... stand for).</p>
<p>Thanks a lot, best, G.</p> Understanding Society User Support - Support #994 (Resolved): Info on household variables https://iserredex.essex.ac.uk/support/issues/9942018-07-05T09:09:59ZGiorgio Piccittogiorgio.piccitto@unimi.it
<p>I am Giorgio Piccitto, an Italian young research (University of Bologna). I am interested in using the data of 'Understanding society', and I would like to share with you a doubt about some variables.</p>
<p>Specifically, I am interested in identifying the detail of the occupations of parents and children (also if the latter do not live anymore within the same household of their parents). Is it possible to have this joint information (in other terms, both the information about familiar relation among respondent and about their occupations)?</p>
<p>Looking at the user guide, it would seem not possible. Do you confirm this? Maybe it is possibile (considering the sample status TSM) to identify this piece of information only for those who in a previous wave lived withinf the households with parents, and then left the house, is it correct?</p>
<p>Thanks a lot for your support.</p>
<p>Best, G.P.</p>
