Attitudes towards Immigrants, 1988

Attitudes Towards Immigrants (The Research Council of Norway's coordination survey of 1988).

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. The survey was followed up with a new data collection in 1993.

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. The coordination committee aimed to carry on the tentative work of the surveys in 1984 and 1986. To avoid great thematical varieties, a frame for possible research questions was established.

The join theme of the survey in 1988 was Attitudes towards immigrants. In addition to data from the survey, it was perceived as important to exploit the data that was collected through the Labour Force Survey in 1987, as the sample was drawn amongst persons participating in the Labour Force Survey for the third or the fourth time in the 1st quarter of 1988.

《对移民的态度》（挪威研究理事会1988年协调调查）
本次调查旨在考察挪威民众对挪威境内移民（北欧及北美移民除外）的认知与了解情况，尤其结合民众的社会处境及其他领域的态度展开分析。该调查涵盖民众的工作与生活处境、与移民的接触情况、对移民及移民政策的态度、价值观、政治效能感（political efficacy）以及经济匮乏状况等多维度信息。本调查于1993年开展了新一轮的数据采集跟进工作。
诸多由挪威研究理事会资助的社会科学研究项目均通过抽样调查采集数据。为更好地统筹调配科研与经济资源，挪威研究理事会于1983年1月设立了调查研究协调委员会。该委员会负责统筹各类调查的实施工作，为研究人员参与联合研究项目提供便利。1998年的调查由挪威统计局（Statistics Norway）实施，作为1988年第一季度劳动力调查（Labour Force Survey）的补充调查。该协调委员会旨在延续1984年与1986年两次调查的试点工作。为避免研究主题过于分散，委员会拟定了可供研究的问题框架。
1988年本次调查的核心主题为“对移民的态度”。除本次调查采集的数据外，研究团队认为应充分利用1987年劳动力调查（Labour Force Survey）所收集的数据——因该调查的样本取自1988年第一季度第三次或第四次参与劳动力调查的人群。
