If you see rows of green lines below the answer option, the questionnaire defines serveral variables or informations are stored in more than one data set. The routing by filters is depicted in blue. Each variable is preceded by an identifier, which usually contains the question number and which is used when the variable is used in filters in subsequent questions. Such filters are usually placed as input filters (gatekeepers) at the beginning of a question. An identifier that is referred to in the input filter of a subsequent question is marked yellow as an example. This reading aid does not cover a few exceptional cases: If the filter (as gatekeeper) only affects one of serveral variables for a question, the filter is printed in blue behind the variable. There you will also find a “go to” command in the form 2 @ Q73. Here, the questionnaire skips to question 73 if answer 2 was given. Phrases that are not alreday translated in English are displayed in German and preceded by [de].

All of these questions deal with your relationship, whether you are married or not. There are questions dealing with your current relationship and others dealing with past relationships. We will start with your current relationship and then ask you to look back on relationships you had before. In the case of past relationships, we are talking about relationships that lasted six months or longer. Whenever referring to marriage, we are also referring to registered same-sex partnerships! Go through the columns in order from top to bottom starting with A from 1 to 6, then B from 1 to 6, and so on. If you have the option of skipping questions, this will be indicated with an arrow and the point you should skip to. For instance, B5 means skip to column B, question 5!
