British Social Attitudes Survey
- British Social Attitudes Survey
The British Social Attitudes survey is the leading social research survey in Britain and is produced by the National Centre for Social Research.
Each year around 3,300 randomly selected adults are asked to give their views on an extensive range of topics.
The questions asked are developed and funded in collaboration with grant-giving bodies and government departments.
Topics include housing, work, transport, government spending and voting habits, as well as religion, racism and illegal drugs. New areas of questioning are added each year to reflect policy changes and current affairs, but all questions are designed with a view to repeating them periodically to chart changes over time.
A report is published each year on the findings. The 24th report was published on January 23rd 2008 by SAGE Publications.
