South African Social Attitudes Survey (SASAS) 2004: Questionnaire 1 - All provinces

Description:
The questions contained in the core modules of the two SASAS questionnaires for 2004 (demographics and core thematic issues) were asked of 7000 respondents, while the remaining rotating modules were asked of a half sample of approximately 3500 respondents each.

The data set contains 2799 records and 343 variables.

Topics included in the questionnaires are: democracy, identity, public services and local government, health status, HIV/AIDS, health behaviour, moral and religious issues, crime, voting, demographics and other classificatory variables.

Rotating modules are: International Social Surveys Programme (ISSP) module, environment, democracy part 2, poverty.
Abstract:
The primary objective of the South African Social Attitudes Survey (SASAS) is to design, develop and implement a conceptually and methodologically robust study of changing social attitudes and values in South Africa. In meeting this objective, the HSRC is carefully and consistently monitoring and providing insight into changes in attitudes among various socio-demographic groupings. SASAS is intended to provide a unique long-term account of the social fabric of modern South Africa, and of how its changing political and institutional structures interact over time with changing social attitudes and values.

The survey has been designed to yield a national representative sample of adults aged 16 and older, using the Human Sciences Research Council's (HSRC) Master Sample, which was designed in 2002 and consists of 1000 primary sampling units (PSUs). These PSUs were drawn, with probability proportional to size from a pre-census 2001 list of 80780 enumerator areas (EAs).

As the basis of the 2004 SASAS round of interviewing, a sub-sample of 500 EAs (PSUs) was drawn from the master sample. Three explicit stratification variables were used, namely province, geographic type and majority population group. The survey is conducted annually and the 2004 survey is the second wave in the series.

To accommodate the wide variety of topics included in the survey, two questionnaires are administered simultaneously. Apart from the standard set of demographic and background variables, each version of the questionnaire contained a harmonised core module.

The questions contained in the core modules of the two SASAS questionnaires (demographics and core thematic issues) were asked of 7000 respondents, while the remaining rotating modules were asked of a half sample of approximately 3500 respondents each.

The core module remains constant for with the aim of monitoring change and continuity in a variety of socio-economic and socio-political variables. In addition, a number of themes are accommodated in rotation. The rotating element of the survey consists of two or more topic-specific modules in each round of interviewing and is directed at measuring a range of policy and academic concerns and issues that require more detailed examination at a specific point in time than the multi-topic core module would permit.

Topics included in the questionnaires are: democracy, identity, public services and local government, health status, HIV/AIDS, health behavior, moral and religious issues, crime, voting, demographics and other classificatory variables.

Rotating modules are: environment, democracy part 2, poverty.

International Social Survey Programme. (ISSP web page:www.issp.org/)

The International Social Survey Programme (ISSP) is run by a group of research organisations, each of which undertakes to field annually an agreed module of questions on a chosen topic area. SASAS 2003 represents the formalisation of South Africa's inclusion in the ISSP, the intention being to include the module in one of the SASAS questionnaires in each round of interviewing. Each module is chosen for repetition at intervals to allow comparisons both between countries (membership currently stands at 48) and over time.

轮换模块包括：国际社会调查项目（International Social Survey Programme, ISSP）模块、环境议题、民主（第二部分）以及贫困问题。

摘要：
南非社会态度调查（South African Social Attitudes Survey, SASAS）的核心目标是设计、开发并实施一项在概念与方法论层面均严谨可靠的研究，以探究南非社会态度与价值观的变迁历程。为达成这一目标，人类科学研究理事会（Human Sciences Research Council, HSRC）正持续严谨地监测并剖析不同社会人口学群体的态度变化。SASAS旨在为现代南非的社会结构提供独特的长期记录，并阐释其不断演变的政治与制度结构如何随时间推移，与社会态度及价值观的变迁产生互动。

本次调查以人类科学研究理事会（HSRC）于2002年设计的主样本框为基础，抽取覆盖16岁及以上成年群体的全国代表性样本；该主样本框共包含1000个初级抽样单元（Primary Sampling Units, PSUs）。这些初级抽样单元按照规模成比例概率抽样方法，从2001年普查前的80780个普查区（Enumerator Areas, EAs）名录中抽取得到。

作为2004年SASAS访谈轮次的基础样本，研究人员从主样本框中抽取了包含500个普查区（即初级抽样单元）的子样本，并采用省份、地理类型与主体人口群体三类明确的分层变量进行分层抽样。本调查为年度追踪调查，2004年的调查是该系列的第二波调研。

为覆盖调研涵盖的多元主题，本次调查同时使用两份问卷开展。除标准化的人口统计学与背景变量模块外，每份问卷均包含一套统一的核心模块。

两份SASAS问卷的核心模块（含人口统计学与核心主题议题）面向7000名受访者发放，其余轮换模块则分别面向约3500名受访者的半样本群体开展调研。

核心模块保持固定不变，旨在监测各类社会经济与社会政治变量的变化与延续性。此外，调研还设置了轮换主题模块。每一轮访谈的轮换模块包含两个及以上的主题专属模块，用于衡量一系列政策与学术层面的关切议题——这类议题需要比多主题核心模块所能提供的更为细致的时点性调研。

问卷涵盖的主题包括：民主、身份认同、公共服务与地方治理、健康状况、艾滋病（HIV/AIDS）、健康行为、道德与宗教议题、犯罪问题、选举投票、人口统计学及其他分类变量。

轮换模块包括：环境议题、民主（第二部分）以及贫困问题。

国际社会调查项目（ISSP官网：www.issp.org/）

国际社会调查项目（International Social Survey Programme, ISSP）由一批研究机构联合运营，每家机构均承诺每年针对选定的主题领域开展经协商一致的模块式问卷调研。2003年的SASAS标志着南非正式加入ISSP，其规划是在每一轮访谈中，将ISSP模块嵌入其中一份SASAS问卷。每个模块会按固定间隔重复实施，以便开展跨国（目前共有48个成员国）与跨时间的对比研究。
