Attitudes Towards Immigrants, 1993 SSB Interview Data

Attitudes Towards Immigrants (The Research Council of Norway's coordination survey of 1993) SSB Telephone Interview Data. Many social science research projects that are financed by the Research Council gather data from sample surveys. To better coordinate and take advantage of scientific and economic resources, the Research Council of Norway's coordination committee for survey research was established in January 1983. The committee was to have responsibility for the conduction of surveys, giving researchers the possibility of partaking in joint projects. The survey in 1998 was conducted by Statistics Norway as a supplementary survey to the Labour Force Survey of the 1st quarter of 1988. This survey was in turn replicated in 1993, in two parts. Statistics Norway conducted an ordinary survey based on telephone interviews, whilst Norwegian Social Science Data Services conducted a thematically equivalent postal data collection. The data published here stems from the former survey, conducted by SSB. The purpose of these surveys was to observe Norwegians' perceptions and knowledge about immigrants in Norway (except for immigrants from Northern Europe and North America), especially in light of people's social situation and attitudes on other areas. The survey contains information about the work and life situation, contact with immigrants, attitudes towards immigrants and immigration policy, values, political efficacy and economic deprivation.
