This codebook accompanies sisssp1.por and sisssp2.por, which are subsets of the General Social Survey. sisssp1.por includes the subset from the 1996 GSS, while sisssp2.por includes data from four years of the GSS--1996, 1989, 1982, 1975. Some of the variables in the GSS have been recoded to make them easier to use and some new variables have been created. The column, "Years," indicates which years include that variable.
