Hello there,

My data analysis project for my thesis has thus far been quite fruitful (thanks again for the help with the clusters)

I detected a significant relationship between the aggregate presence of answer 96 for item V613, Ideal Family Size(IFS) at various group levels (regional, religious, and ethnic), and individually heightened IFS. The code book suggests that this signifies answers like "up to God", but I am interested in whether that is the specific meaning.

Reason being, if the answer is specifically religious in nature, then I would have a nice interpretative framing for the correlation I have found.
I am still thinking about trying to build correlates with proxies for traditionally religious attitudes, but that would be a whole new can of worms for me, because I'd have to make an additional argument and build more aggregate frames, and I am on a relatively tight schedule.

So, is there any source anybody could point to that explains the nature of non-numeric answers to V613?
