The 1979 data contain a panel study and a control group survey. The panel study aimed to re-interview the respondents of the 1978 Voter Barometer. 736 respondents (out of 1,210) were reached. In addition, a new sample was drawn to be used as a control group. The new sample was collected with the starting point method. At first, the target population was stratified according to the number of inhabitants aged 18 or over in each province and in the second stage, by municipality group within each province. Municipalities were classified into five groups on the basis of their level of industrialisation. The stratifying frame achieved in this manner was used to count how many interviews should be done in the municipalities of each municipality group in order to have a geographically and demographically representative sample. The municipalities in the sample have been selected with the Deming zone selection method. This method is based on the use of random numbers and gives each municipality an equal chance to be selected, although municipalities with large population have a better chance to be selected. A municipality may be sampled more than once - in which case more than one starting point is drawn for that municipality. The interviews were conducted in clusters of four subjects using the starting point method. The starting points were drawn from the population register. The first interview was conducted at the starting point, after which the interviewer proceeded to the next three households. The individual chosen for the interview had to correspond to the age and sex criteria defined in the selection card. If necessary, there was one follow-up per person. Interviews were conducted in 49 cities and 57 rural municipalities. The number of respondents was 608.
