Summary View help for Summary
The European Election Study, 1994 (EES-94), is a study of the electorates of the 12 member states of the European Community: Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, and the United Kingdom. The study focuses in particular on the fourth elections to the European Parliament conducted in June 1994 and is derived from questions asked in Eurobarometers 40-42. The questionnaires used in each country were identical, apart from unavoidable differences in party names. Topics include respondents' attitudes regarding important campaign issues, particularly those concerning the European Community and the 1994 European Election, voting behavior and vote intention in national elections, probability of voting for a particular party, ideological position and value orientation, and political interest. A significant portion of the study is devoted to European and/or national policy topics. Other major areas of investigation include knowledge of and attitudes toward the European Union, its institutions, and other member states. Demographic variables include age, gender, date of birth, education, marital status, size of household and status of housing, number of children at home, occupation, family income, and perception of social class.
