TEDS Data Dictionary

Variables in the 3 Year Dataset

The table on this page lists all 3 Year variables. This includes all item variables from the 3 Year booklets, as well as derived variables that are based on 3 Year items.

The table does not include background variables that originate from other sources (either from admin data or from other study datasets). Such variables include IDs, twin sex and zygosity variables, the random variable and general exclusion variables. See the background variables page for details.

Variables are listed in alphabetical order in the table below. The columns of the table are:

  • Dataset variable name
  • Dataset variable label (in SPSS)
  • Source of data:
    • child - from the child booklet
    • parent - from the parent booklet
  • Item or derived variable? - see item coding for the parent and child booklets (pdfs) for item variables; see also the description of derived variables for more information.
  • Data type:
    • integer - numeric whole numbers
    • decimal - numeric with fractional values
  • Variable type:
    • nominal - categorical, with arbitrary numeric values
    • ordinal - categorical, with ordered numeric values (test items used as scores are treated as being ordinal even if they have a simple 0/1 coding)
    • quantitative - numerical measurements of some concrete quantity such as length or time
    • scale value - numerical measurement derived (usually) as a sum or mean of other variables
  • Coding or range of values - this shows the value coding used for nominal/ordinal variables, or an approximate range of values for quantitative and scale variables.
