<ul><li><strong>Status</strong> changed from <i>New</i> to <i>Feedback</i></li><li><strong>% Done</strong> changed from <i>0</i> to <i>80</i></li></ul><p>1. Yes. You can verify this by selecting the cases for which w_mnspid~=-8/w_fnspid~=-8<br />2. Yes<br />3. The parent with whom they have the most contact with. Take a look at the interviewer instructions in the questionnaire: "IF RESPONDENT HAS BOTH BIOLOGICAL AND STEP/ADOPTIVE FATHER, QUESTION REFERS TO THE ONE RESPONDENT HAS THE MOST CONTACT WITH" <br />4. No. They are only not asked w_pafar if both biological parents are alive and there are no step parents. You can check this by using the follwoing Stata syntax:<br />tab k_pafar if (k_lvrel2==1|k_lvrel10==1) & k_parmar<0</p>
<p>Hope this helps.</p>

<ul></ul><p>A correction to the first answer. LVREL asked about non-co-resident family members ONLY. See the Question text and the Interviewer Instructions for LVREL:</p>
<p>TEXT<br />We now have a few questions about contact you have with family members not living here with you.<br />Excluding relatives who are living in this household with you at the moment, can you tell me which of these types of relatives you have alive at the<br />moment?</p>
<p>Interviewer Instruction<br />CODE ALL THAT APPLY<br />INCLUDE STEP/ADOPTIVE/HALF RELATIONS<br />DO NOT INCLUDE RELATIVES LIVING IN THE HOUSEHOLD</p>
<p>However,as you can check using w_mnspid & w_fnspid, some reported mothers and fathers even though they were living with them in the same household. But these constituted a small proportion. In Wave 11, of the 13,387 individuals who chose k_lvrel1==1 or k_lvrel9==1, only 849 (7%) were living with their nat/stp mother in the same hh (k_mnspid~=-8). We are investigating whethere there is any further information about these cases.</p> Understanding Society User Support - Support #1758: Computing variable for distance to mother / father (using pafar, mafar, parmar)https://iserredex.essex.ac.uk/support/issues/1758?journal_id=72582022-09-07T11:04:54ZAlbert Wardalbert.ward@politics.ox.ac.uk
<ul></ul><p>Hi, that's all very helpful thank you! Sorry I misunderstood for whatever reason about the pafar / parmar conditions, thanks for clarifying</p>
<p>I was going to ask about why some respondents report parents outside of the house even when they're living with them. It would be interesting to know why.</p>
