BHPS Documentation and Questionnaires
Record Type LINDRESP
This Record contains individual data from full and proxy questionnaires. Data from the Household
Composition Form is also copied to this record. Proxy and telephone respondents may be
distinguished from main questionnaire respondents on the basis of the variable
LIVFIO.
Proxy and telephone data is copied to equivalent full questionnaire variables. Where there is no
equivalent variable, values are set to -7 (inapplicable). The variables LPRRS2I LPRIPN LPRWHY
LPRFEHQ LPRSEHQ LPRFITB LPRJBFT LTELWHY etc correspond to questions which have no
direct equivalent in the full questionnaire. They are inapplicable for full respondents.
Data from the job history are contained on record LJOBHIST, except for a number of derived
variables. Similarly detailed data on payment receipts from questions F3a – F3f are contained on
record LINCOME.
Derived and additional copied variables are those from LIVFIO to LREGION and from LHGR2R
onwards. The variables LREGION LHHSIZE LHHTYPE LTENURE and LFIHHMN are copied from
record LHHRESP. The variables LIVFIO LIODC and LHGR2R to LHOH are copied from record
LINDALL.
The following variables have data for all missing cases imputed (note that proxy cases do not have
imputed values except in the case of LPRFITB):
| LJ2PAY | LFIYRDI | LPRFITB | LPAYGU | LPAYNU | LPAYGTY |
| LPAYGLY | LPAYNTY | LPAYNLY | LJSPROF | LJSPAYG | LFIMNP |
| LFIMNB | LFIMNI | LFIMNT | LFIMNNL | LFIMNL | LFIMN |
| LFIYRL | LFIYRNL | LFIYRP | LFIYRB | LFIYRT | LFIYRI |
| LFIYR | LSPPAYG | LFIHHMN |
