The Polish General Social Survey (PGSS), conducted annually
since 1992 through 1995 and later biennially, is design to measure
opinions and social characteristics of Polish society. PGSS core
variables include socioeconomic and demographic items with an emphasis
on stratification measures (occupation, labor force status, education,
income) of respondents and their spouses and parents. In addition,
there are attitudinal variables concerning political opinions and
ideology, national spending, religious beliefs, social inequality, job
and occupational values, tolerance, educational values, attitudes
toward other countries, traditional sex roles, family issues,
abortion, and homosexuality. Other variables gauge subjective
well-being, social class identification, satisfaction with different
spheres of life, and confidence in public institutions. Respondents
were also queried about their voting behavior, social interactions,
religiosity, health, smoking, and drinking. Each year, additional
topical modules of questions from the International Social Survey
Program have been added: "Inequality II" (1992), "Environment" (1993),
"Family and Changing Gender Roles II" and "Sexual Behavior" (1994),
"National Identity" (1995), "Work Orientations II" (1997), and "Social
Inequality III" (1999). This study is a continuation of the POLISH
GENERAL SOCIAL SURVEY, 1992-1994 (ICPSR 6155).
