CODEBOOK

NSFH3 MAIN R AND SPOUSE STEP-SONS AND STEP-DAUGHTERS

LIVING ELSEWHERE ROSTER

This file contains roster data for sons and daughters of current spouse or partner who living elsewhere for main respondents and spouses interviewed at NSFH3. Main Respondents and NSFH1 spouses were asked a series of questions about each of their current spouse/partner’s sons and daughters of any age not currently living in their household.

There is no record for cases with no spouse/partner’s sons or daughters living elsewhere.

There are 34 variables for each step-son or step-daughter living elsewhere.

The variables are in a single array, with variable names including a son or daughter suffix of _a through _m for persons 1 through 7. (The maximum number of step-sons and step-daughters living elsewhere was 7 persons – hence the suffix range of a through g.) For example, sex3_a is the first step-child’s gender; sex3_d is the gender of the fourth step-child on the roster. Fields for non-existent persons – e.g., persons 4 through 11 for a respondent with three step-sons and step-daughters living elsewhere – are designated as system missing in the data file.

Note that the skip logic is not incorporated in the codebook. Some questions, e.g., marital status, were conditional on age or other characteristics. Briefly:

Ms3 was asked regarding persons 16 and older

Edu3, wrk3, stu3,

Typ3, inc3 were asked regarding sons and daughters age 18 and

older

chl3, cor3 were asked regarding sons and daughters age

and stp3 15 and older
