The raw data for
each year of the survey are available as SPSS portable files. An SPSS
portable file can be read by any version of SPSS running under any operating
system (for example, Windows, mainframe or MAC). In order to save space
and download time, the files have been compressed and saved in zip format.
After downloading the file, you will need to unzip it using suitable
software, for example, WINZIP.
To download a file,
click on the link with the right hand mouse button (PC users only),
which will allow you to save the file to disk. For example, Netscape
users should select the 'Save Link As ...' option.
The NILT data must
be weighted (unless using household variables). Instructions about how
to apply the correct weight and other information about the NILT surveys
are available in the technical notes (in
PDF format), and should be used
along with the SPSS files. If you have any queries, please contact
us.

A teaching dataset has been developed,
based on the 2006 NILT survey, designed to be used on courses teaching
quantitative statistical analysis in the social sciences.
All work that uses
or refers to the Northern Ireland Life and Times Survey should acknowledge
it using the appropriate bibliographic citation. To view the citation
for each year, please click on the word 'citation' below.

is a freely available resource for anyone interested in public attitudes
