In the first line of the table, three variables are analyzed. They are:
| Mnemonic | Description |
| netime | Total time spent on the Internet, combining all of the e-mail and Web time (hours, 1 decimal place). |
| emtime | Combination of e-mail hours and minutes. Set to zero if 'compuse' is 'no'. |
| wwwtime | Combination of WWW hours and minutes. Set to zero if both 'compuse' and 'webtv' are 'no' |
Information on all the variables can be found in the online GSS codebook. Clicking on the previous link should open a new window with variable categories on the left. These categories provide a number of different ways of searching for variables.
For example, open the codebook, then click on "Alphabetical Order" in the frame on the left. Scroll down and find the variable emtime. Click on this variable to examine the frequency distribution of this measure.
The following links will take you to each of these pages:
- Open the online GSS codebook.
- See the first alphabetical listing page.
- Go to listing of variables
- See frequency distribution for emtime.
