List of Claims
(Use for Coding CLAIMS, Question # 18)
For each Claim, there are two variables:
(1) A four digit code indicating the CLAIM, and
(2) A two digit code indicating the VALENCE or "pro" or "con" indication (VAL).
Note that items in the list below with an asterisk (*) are Claims that should be coded with a
Detailed code (see next page for Detailed Codes).
Code up to four (4) CLAIMS.
Remember to list the main or primary claim of the event first on the codesheet (CLAIM1&VAL1).

For each, claim, there is a second variable, which is a two-digit qualifier for the valence of the
event: Pro (01), Anti (02), Cannot be determined (03).
Valence (VAL) of the event: Pro or Anti the goals of the social movement/CLAIM?
01 Pro
02 Anti
03 Cannot be determined.
Note: This should be applied to the general category which represents the Social
Movement. Examples: A pro-Native American protest would be: 1700-01. A prodisarmament protest would be: 0702-01. A rally about the detrimental effects of
pesticides on farmworkers would be coded pro-farmworkers: 2200-01. The valence
code of “03" will primarily be used for codes under “Social 1300", “Anti-Ethnic Attacks
2500", and “Other 1400" since the valence of these issues is difficult to determine. If
you are inclined to use “03" for any other Claim, please bring it to the coder meeting for
discussion and approval.
