International Social Survey Programme 1998 [Canada]: Religion II

The International Social Survey Program (ISSP) is an ongoing program of crossnational collaboration. Formed in 1983, the group develops topical modules dealing with important areas of social science as supplements to regular national surveys. The 1998 religion module includes data from Australia, Austria, Bulgaria, Canada, Chile, Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, Great Britain, Hungary, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Latvia, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Northern Ireland, Norway, the Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Slovenia, the Slovakian Republic, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United States. Comparable to the initial module on this topic (see INTERNATIONAL SOCIAL SURVEY PROGRAM: RELIGION I, 1991 [ICPSR 6234]), this survey covers three main topic areas: (1) general attitudes toward various social issues such as government, the legal system, sex, and the economy (e.g., opinions about personal happiness, government responsibilities toward citizens, abortion, male and female roles in the household, premarital cohabitation, personal trust and trust in others, confidence in various institutions such as legislatures, businesses, churches,courts, and schools, legal fairness, and the economic climate), (2) religion (e.g., role of religious leaders, role of science in relation to religion, attitudes about God, heaven, hell, and life after death, personal and family members' religious status, attendance at religious services, miracles, the Bible, the purpose of life, prayer, volunteer work, and religious commitment), and (3) demographics (e.g., marital status, age, sex, education, occupation, family composition, ethnicity, region, size of community, and political affiliation).

国际社会调查项目（International Social Survey Program，ISSP）是一项持续推进的跨国合作项目。该项目于1983年成立，针对社会科学重要研究领域开发专题模块，作为各国常规全国性调查的补充内容。1998年宗教专题模块纳入了来自澳大利亚、奥地利、保加利亚、加拿大、智利、塞浦路斯、捷克共和国、丹麦、法国、德国、大不列颠、匈牙利、爱尔兰、以色列、意大利、日本、拉脱维亚、荷兰、新西兰、北爱尔兰、挪威、菲律宾、波兰、葡萄牙、俄罗斯、斯洛文尼亚、斯洛伐克共和国、西班牙、瑞典、瑞士以及美国的调查数据。该模块与本主题的初始模块（参见《国际社会调查项目：宗教调查I，1991[ICPSR 6234]》）具有可比性，本次调查涵盖三大核心研究领域：1. 社会议题一般性态度：涵盖政府、司法体系、性别议题与经济等领域，具体包括个人幸福感相关看法、政府对公民的责任定位、堕胎议题、家庭内性别角色分工、婚前同居行为、个人信任与人际信任、对立法机构、企业、教会、法院与学校等各类机构的信任度、司法公正性以及经济环境评价；2. 宗教相关内容：包括宗教领袖的角色定位、科学与宗教的关系、对上帝、天堂、地狱及死后生命的态度、个人与家庭成员的宗教身份、宗教礼拜参与情况、神迹信仰、对圣经的看法、人生意义认知、祷告行为、志愿工作以及宗教信仰投入程度；3. 人口统计学信息：具体包括婚姻状况、年龄、性别、受教育程度、职业、家庭结构、族裔、居住地区、社区规模以及政治派别归属。
