Released/updated on: 1992-02-16
Geographic coverage: United States
This nationwide study investigated respondents' opinions on
current affairs at both the national and international levels. Issues
such as morality in the United States, approval of the United Nations,
and the positon of the United States in world affairs were explored,
as well as attitudes toward the Constitution and individual
rights. Respondents were asked about their feelings toward minority
groups such as the John Birch Society, communists, and Blacks, with
special emphasis on the Jewish minority. Respondents' beliefs about
Jews as a group, their contacts with Jews, and their feelings about
political and social rights of Jews in the United States were
probed. Past treatment of the Jewish people was also explored, and the
respondents were asked to compare Jews with other groups in the United
States on the basis of ambition, wealth, intelligence, and power. A
number of variables assessed the respondents' leisure activities,
their religious beliefs and education, and their outlooks on
life. Derived measures include indexes such as anti-Semitic beliefs,
Index of Jewish contacts, Fascism Scale, Despair Scale, Tolerance of
Cultural Diversity Index, Enlightenment Values Scale, Anomie Scale,
Political Anxiety Scale, Self-Image Scale, Libertarian Index, and
Monism Scale. Demographic data include sex, race, age, education,
income, religion, home ownership, marital status, and number of
children. The study was received from the International Data Library
and Reference Service, Survey Research Center, University of
California at Berkeley.

Released/updated on: 1997-12-19
Geographic coverage: Europe, Global, Spain
Time period: 1994-03-07--1994-03-12
This data collection is part of a series of nationwide surveys conducted from October 1990 to June 1996 in Spain. The questionnaires for each of these surveys consisted of three sections. The first section collected information on respondents' attitudes regarding personal, national, and international issues, and included questions on respondents' level of life satisfaction and frequency of visits with relatives, neighbors, and friends. The second section contained a topical module of questions that varied from survey to survey, with this survey's topic focusing on attitudes toward immigrants. Among the issues investigated were attitudes toward persons from different immigrant and ethnic groups (e.g., North Africans, Black Africans, South Americans, gypsies, East Europeans, and Asians), and attitudes toward immigration and its perceived effects on the economy and society. Respondents also were queried about friendships and work relationships with persons from different immigrant and ethnic groups, and Spanish migration to other countries. Questions in the third section of the questionnaire elicited socioeconomic information, such as respondent's sex, age, marital status, size of household, occupation, education, religion, religiosity, place of birth, and income.
