Description

Britain is, on the whole, a well-documented nation. We know or are able to find out a great deal about our characteristics as a society - who we are and what we do. But we know muc less about our character - what we think about our world and ourselves. Very little systematic material is publicly available on the nation's values, whether or how they have been changing, and the extent to which different sections of the population vary in their attitudes and beliefs. "British Social Attitudes" compiles, describes and comments upon a wide range of current social attitudes. The information is obtained from around 3000 interviews carried out by SCPR among a nationwide sample sample in an annual series of surveys. The series seeks to chart changes in British social values during the 1980s and 1990s in relation to other changes in society, and is core-funded by the Sainsbury Family Charitable Trusts. A full report is published each year. The 9th Report summarizes and interprets data from the most recent survey in the series as well as making comparisons with finds from previous surveys. The dataset is publicly available through the ESRC Data Archive so that others can explore the results further within their spheres of interest.
