本文详细介绍了作者的选择，设计和使用生命史日历（LHC）收集回顾性生命历程数据。 900 [美国]样本最初于1980年接受采访的23岁年轻人被问及自15岁生日以来的9年中各种生活事件的发生率和时间。LHC的概念、用途和优点，（B）使用的时间单位和领域，（c）记录回答、决策和问题的模式，（d）访谈者培训，（e）编码。 以下结果证明了大型强子对撞机回顾性数据的准确性：（a）只有四个日历在任何一个月有缺失的数据;（B）1980年获得的关于当前工作、上学、婚姻和孩子的数据显示出与1985年大型强子对撞机对这些事件的回顾性报告的显著对应关系;（c）采访者对大型强子对撞机增加被访者回忆的能力持肯定态度。
This paper details the authors' selection, design, and use of a life history calendar (LHC) to collect retrospective life course data. A sample of nine hundred [U.S.] 23-year-olds, originally interviewed in 1980, were asked about the incidence and timing of various life events in the nine years since their 15th birthday.... The following aspects of the LHC are described: (a) the concept, uses, and advantages of the LHC, (b) the time units and domains used, (c) the mode of recording the responses and the decisions and problems involved, (d) interviewer training, and (e) coding. The following results attest to the accuracy of the LHC retrospective data: (a) only four of the calendars had missing data in any month; (b) the data obtained in 1980 about current work, school attendance, marriage, and children showed a remarkable correspondence to the retrospective 1985 LHC reports of these events; (c) the interviewers were positive about the LHC's ability to increase respondent recall.
