Summary

This survey is part of a continuing series designed to monitor trends in a wide range of social attitudes in Great Britain. The British Social Attitudes Survey (BSA) is similar to the General Social Survey carried out by the National Opinion Research Center (NORC) in the United States. The BSA questionnaire has two parts, one administered by an interviewer and the other completed by the respondent. In the cumulative file, BSA data for the years 1983-1991, covering a range of social, economic, political, and moral issues, were merged. Demographic data included gender, age, education, occupation, income, marital status, and religious and political affiliations.
