British Social Attitudes Survey, 1998 (ICPSR 3101)

1. (1) In 1999, Social and Community Planning Research (SCPR) became the National Centre for Social Research. (2) Under agreement with the UKDA, the data are disseminated as they were received, without additional processing by ICPSR. This agreement also provides that ICPSR will disseminate the data only for use within its member institutions. Persons from nonmember institutions may request these data directly from the UKDA. (3) The data are provided as an SPSS portable file. (4) The documentation was converted to Portable Document Format (PDF) by the UKDA and concatenated by ICPSR. The PDF documentation can also be downloaded from the UKDA Web site. (5) The documentation contains information for several different studies (e.g., the Northern Ireland Social Attitudes, 1998, and the 1998 Young People's Social Attitudes Survey). However, only the British Social Attitudes Survey dataset is provided in this collection. (6) The British Social Attitudes Survey series began in 1983 and was conducted every year since, except in 1988 and 1992 when the core funding from the Sainsbury Family Charitable Trusts was devoted to conducting post-election studies of political attitudes and voting behavior in the British Election Study (BES) survey series.
