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 is conducted annually and the 2012 survey is the tenth wave in the series.

The core module will remain constant for subsequent annual SASAS surveys with the aim of monitoring change and continuity in a variety of socio-economic and socio-political variables. In addition, a number of themes will be 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.

摘要：
南非社会态度调查（South African Social Attitudes Survey, SASAS）的核心目标是设计、开发并实施一项兼具概念严谨性与方法科学性的研究，以考察南非不断演变的社会态度与价值观。为达成这一目标，南非人文科学研究委员会（Human Sciences Research Council, HSRC）正审慎且持续地监测不同社会人口学群体的态度变迁，并提供相关洞察。
SASAS旨在为现代南非的社会结构，以及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、价值观的变化相互作用，提供一份独特的长期记录。
该调查每年开展一次，2012年的调查为该系列的第十轮调研。
后续年度的SASAS调查将保持核心模块的稳定性，以期监测各类社会经济与社会政治变量的变化与延续性。此外，调查将轮动设置多个主题模块：每一轮访谈将包含两个及以上的主题专属模块，用于针对特定时点下的多项政策与学术关切议题开展精细化考察，而这是多主题核心模块无法实现的。
