Collection of Sibling Attributes: Some Data Quality Issues Report, Columbus OH: Center for Human Resource Research, The Ohio State University, December 1994 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Center for Human Resource Research Keyword(s): Age at First Birth; Childbearing; Data Quality/Consistency; Educational Attainment; Marital Conflict; Minorities; Nonresponse; Schooling; Siblings This report summarizes the level and correlates of nonresponse for questionnaire items on sibling characteristics collected in the 1993 National Longitudinal Survey of Youth. Results show that response rates are highest for items of information which are fairly stable about a sibling such as their gender and relative age. However, other characteristics which can vary over time or which generally occur after siblings depart the parental home have substantially higher levels of nonresponse. Examples include the amount of schooling or age at childbearing for a sibling. Minority respondents and respondents with lower levels of education themselves are less likely to be able to recall this more variable type of information about their siblings. Recall problems are also associated more often with older as opposed to younger siblings. Based on these findings, suggestions for improving upon future survey collection on sibling characteristics is offered. |
