Center for Research on Social Reality [Spain] Survey, March 1993: Attitudes Toward Immigrants

This data collection is part of a continuing series of semi-monthly surveys of individuals in Spain. Each survey consists of three sections. The first section collects information on respondents' attitudes regarding personal and national issues. This section includes questions on level of life satisfaction and frequency of relationships, as well as a rating of the importance of national issues. The second section varies according to the monthly topic, with this month's topic focusing on attitudes toward immigrants. Among the issues investigated are attitudes toward persons from different social groups, perceived attitudes of relatives and friends toward different social groups, opinions of the immigration quota system established by the European Community, perceived reasons for migration, perceived influence of immigration on unemployment and crime, friendship and work relationships with persons of different social groups, evaluation of immigrants from developed countries, and evaluation of the economic development and modernization of Spain compared to that of the rest of Europe. The third section collects demographic data such as sex, age, religion, income, and place of residence.
