Raziskava je sestavljena iz sedmih delov, zbirke podatkov iz šestih držav (Avstrije, Indije, Japonske, Nizozemske, Nigerije in Jugoslavije) ter primerjalne mednarodne datoteke podatkov. Anketiranje je potekalo med leti 1966 in 1971 v sedmih državah, vključno z Združenimi državami Amerike (podatki za ZDA se nahajajo v raziskavi POLITICAL PARTICIPATION IN AMERICA, 1967 [št. ICPSR 7015], in so vključeni v mednarodno datoteko). Jedro raziskave sestavljajo vprašanja na temo politične participacije pri zadevah lokalnega in nacionalnega značaja. Zastavljena vprašanja so zadevala različna področja politične participacije: vključenost v politične organizacije na lokalni in nacionalni ravni, sodelovanje v formalnih in neformalnih skupinah, obseg stikov z javnimi uslužbenci, stališča do aktualnih političnih in družbenih sprememb ter splošno zanimanje respondentov za politične procese. Sledijo osnovne demografske spremenljivke. Poleg tega pa vsaka nacionalna raziskava vključuje nekaj specifičnih tem.

This data collection consists of seven parts, six individual country datasets (Austria, India, Japan, the Netherlands, Nigeria, and Yugoslavia), and a comparative crossnational dataset. Personal interviews were conducted from 1966 to 1971 in seven nations, including the United States (the U.S.A. dataset can be found separately in POLITICAL PARTICIPATION IN AMERICA, 1967 [ICPSR STUDY 7015], and is included in Part 7, Crossnational File). A set of core questions was designed to ascertain political participation in both local and national affairs. Questions were constructed to measure respondents' involvement in political organizations at both the local and national levels, participation in formal and informal community groups, the extent of individual contact with public officials, attitudes toward recent political and social changes, and respondents' interest in the political process. Basic demographic data is also included. In addition, each national survey contains some items unique to that particular survey.
