<p>Dear Understanding Society team,</p>
<p>I was wondering whether you could recommend a variable that would help me determine (an aspect of) childhood SES for adults in the sample? Looking at parental education or occupation from the xwave files, I end up with many missing values. Any advice on this would be very valuable.</p>
<p>Thank you so much,<br />Michaela</p> Understanding Society User Support - Support #1828 (Resolved): Partnership histories response sta...https://iserredex.essex.ac.uk/support/issues/18282022-12-07T22:16:27ZMichaela Kyclova
<p>Dear Understanding Society team,</p>
<p>I was wondering if there is any way to know whether a woman (specifically, a mother) responded to the partnership histories. I know that in the partnership histories, you only include those who had at least one partnership spell. My question is, how do I differentiate the mothers who had never been partnered and those who just have many missing responses and therefore appear (based on the merge) as never partnered, but have rather incomplete responses?</p>
<p>Based on phistory files only, when merging with indresp (all waves), I have much more 'never partnered' mothers than anticipated in the data.</p>
<p>Thank you very much.<br />Best wishes,<br />Michaela</p> Understanding Society User Support - Support #1801 (Resolved): Belong to religion oprlg variable:...https://iserredex.essex.ac.uk/support/issues/18012022-11-07T10:21:22ZMichaela Kyclova
<p>Dear Understanding Society team,<br />I am wondering why there is many missing/inapplicable responses to oprlg in later waves? Whilst in Wave 1, no inapplicable answers are coded, in later waves, this is between 80-90%. Even when merging with Wave 1 responses, or using the fed forward variable, I still have around 50% of values missing for adults at different waves. I am working with a created dataset of children and their parents, and using either the mother's or father's religion still yields a lot of missing responses. I will appreciate any guidance on how to figure this out; and how to properly code no religion vs missing values.<br />Thank you so much,<br />Michaela</p> Understanding Society User Support - Support #1626 (Resolved): Who is the respondent parent - SDQ https://iserredex.essex.ac.uk/support/issues/16262022-01-10T09:01:21ZMichaela Kyclova
<p>Good morning, <br />I was wondering whether there is a way to identify if the respondent parent is the mother or the father when it comes to child outcomes, such as mental health - SDQ questionnaire? I have merged child mental health scores based on the child pidp which is matched with parents based on the household grid. Is there a variable that would help me identify whether these questions are reported by the mother or the father?<br />Thank you so much,<br />Michaela Kyclova</p> Understanding Society User Support - Support #1521 (Resolved): How to merge variables from newbor...https://iserredex.essex.ac.uk/support/issues/15212021-03-08T13:50:17ZMichaela Kyclova
<p>Good afternoon!</p>
<p>I was wondering if you could help me. I am working with Stata and currently have a dataset where children are the main unit of observation combined with their parents' info - pidp, education and so on. All waves are merged, and sorted by child pidp and wave in a long format.<br />I would like to know the birth weight of the children, which is in newborn files. I created a file with all newborn waves merged together. However, some mothers are mentioned multiple times and therefore it is not allowing me to merge by mother pidp. Is there an easy way to do it?</p>
<p>Kind regards,</p>
