British Social Attitudes Survey, 2013

<P>Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.</P><p><strong>Background</strong><br>The&nbsp;British Social Attitudes (BSA) survey series began in 1983. The series is designed to produce annual measures of attitudinal movements to complement large-scale government surveys that deal largely with facts and behaviour patterns, and&nbsp;the data on party political attitudes produced by opinion polls. One of the BSA's main purposes is to allow the monitoring of patterns of continuity and change, and the examination of the relative rates at which attitudes, in respect of a range of social issues, change over time. Some questions are asked regularly, others less often. Funding for BSA comes from a number of sources (including government departments, the Economic and Social Research Council and other research foundations), but the final responsibility for the coverage and wording of the annual questionnaires rests with NatCen Social Research (formerly Social and Community Planning Research). The BSA has been conducted every year since 1983, except in 1988 and 1992 when core funding was devoted to the British Election Study (BES).<br><br>Further information about the series and links to publications may be found on the NatCen Social Research <a title="British Social Attitudes" href="https://natcen.ac.uk/flagship-surveys">British Social Attitudes</a> webpage.</p><br><B>Main Topics</B>:<BR>Each year, the BSA interview questionnaire contains a number of 'core' questions, which are repeated in most years. In addition, a wide range of background and classificatory questions is included. The remainder of the questionnaire is devoted to a series of questions (modules) on a range of social, economic, political and moral issues - some are asked regularly, others less often. Cross-indexes of those questions asked more than once appear in the reports.<br>The BSA 2013 questionnaires included modules covering: attitudes to public spending, social welfare, transport, health, Scottish independence, education, starting a business, immigration and equality.<br>

<p><strong>研究背景</strong></p>
英国社会态度调查（British Social Attitudes, BSA）系列始于1983年。该系列旨在构建年度态度变迁测度指标，以补充主要聚焦事实与行为模式的大型政府调查，以及民意调查产出的政党态度数据。BSA的核心目标之一是监测态度的延续与变迁模式，并考察一系列社会议题相关态度随时间推移的相对变化速率。部分题项会被重复问及，另一些则较少出现。BSA的资助来源涵盖多个渠道，包括政府部门、经济与社会研究理事会及其他研究基金会，但年度问卷的覆盖范围与题项措辞的最终决策权归属NatCen社会研究所（NatCen Social Research，前身为社会与社区规划研究所）。自1983年起，BSA每年开展一次调查，仅1988年与1992年除外——该两年的核心经费被划拨至英国选举研究（British Election Study, BES）项目。

<br><strong>核心研究主题</strong>：<br>
每年的BSA访谈问卷均包含若干“核心”题项，多数年度调查都会重复采用此类题项。此外，问卷还涵盖大量背景类与分类类题项。问卷剩余部分则聚焦一系列覆盖社会、经济、政治与道德议题的问题模块——部分模块会被定期纳入问卷，另一些则较少启用。针对多次被问及的题项，调查报告中会提供其交叉索引信息。

2013年的BSA问卷包含以下调研模块：公共支出态度、社会福利、交通、医疗、苏格兰独立问题、教育、创业、移民与平等议题。

2013年的国际社会调查项目（International Social Survey Programme, ISSP）模块为“国家认同”，搭载于BSA自填式问卷版本A中。
