The aim of the Relative Deprivation and Social Justice study was to examine social inequality in twentieth-century England, touching on such topics as party preference and self-rated social class. The dataset held by the Archive was originally compiled from interview schedules lent by W.G. Runciman, used for his well-known study reported in: Runciman, W.G. (1972) Relative Deprivation and Social Justice, Pelican Books. An exercise based on data from this survey has been developed by the Sociology Department at the University of Surrey (see file 'deprived.sav'). The exercise is included in the user guide and is a fairly detailed example of the elaboration of a bivariate relation through the introduction of a 'control' variable. A description of a simple data transformation is provided. In addition, there is a description of the main aspects of SPSS usage.
