immig

A survey of 98 students was carried out to examine student's
(negative) attitudes towards immigrants. Four statements had to be
compared with regard to higher acceptance. The four statements were
<ul><li>Foreigners increase crime rates (<code>crimRate</code>)</li><li>Foreigners take apprenticeship training position away (<code>position</code>)</li><li>Foreigners are a strain for the social welfare system (<code>socBurd</code>)</li><li>Foreigners threaten our culture (<code>culture</code>)</li></ul>
The first 6 variables in the dataset indicate
the preferences of the students. For a given comparison the reponses
are coded by 1 if the first item was preferred, -1 if the second
university was preferred and 0 if no decision was made. The variable
ENG characterises the knowledge of English and the variable
SEX characterises the gender.
