Social Science Variables Database

Search Variables

The Social Science Variables Database (SSVD) was created with funding from the National Science Foundation as part of ICPSR's Infrastructure in the Social Sciences award (SES-9977984). The SSVD is a project to demonstrate the effectiveness of searching across studies at the variable level utilizing the Data Documentation Initiative (DDI) as a codebook markup standard. Codebooks which are marked up according to the DDI standard can be easily imported into the SSVD to be searched without additional processing.

See which codebooks can be searched

Please note that search results involving the following studies are inaccurate:

  • 7377
  • 6597
  • 3199
  • 3764
  • 3267
  • 7728
  • 3191
  • 3449

ICPSR is investigating this problem and plans to have a new version of the SSVD available in 2007.
