Description

Dear Sir or Madam,

I'm referring to the Understanding Society, Waves1-5, User Manual. According to the Manual, the derivation of the weighting adjustments for individual-level non-responses includes a logistic regressions as described as follows (p. 72):

"The predictors used in the models include all the predictors used for the household level nonresponse models and individual and household-level variables obtained from the household questionnaire, such as age and gender, marital and employment status, household size and presence of children in the household, as well as household expenditure on food and food outside, consideration of use of environmental energy, among others."

Is there a complete list that shows all the factors used in the regression? I'm asking because I would like to check whether the Big Five personality traits from Wave 3 are included (non-response might well depend on personality traits). I doubt that they are because they were only part of Wave 3 but I would like to double-check. Also, I'm interested whether education is accounted for.

Thank you very much for your help.

Best regards,
Ante
