New Democracies Barometer 1992

The New Democracies Barometer (NDB) surveys were conducted in the years 1991, 1992, 1994, 1996 and 1998. The aim of the NDB is to evaluate long-terms developments in economic, social and political attitudes. Differences in the attitudes in the new democracies on the one hand and Austria as “control-country” or “referenz-country” on the other hand are presented. Identifying trends in the public opinion within the particular countries and serving as a monitor for the public opinion in this geopolitical part of Europe are other goals. The insight which is particularly of interest in the NDB is the development of standard indicators to operationalise and quantify the social, economic and political change in the transition from planned economy people’s democracies to market-based democracies.新民主国家晴雨表（The New Democracies Barometer，以下简称NDB）系列调研先后于1991、1992、1994、1996及1998年实施。该调研的核心目标为评估民众在经济、社会与政治领域的态度长期演变态势。研究同时呈现了新民主国家与作为"对照国"或"参照国"的奥地利之间的民众态度差异。此外，识别特定国家的公众舆论趋势，并为欧洲该地缘政治区域的公众舆论提供监测支持，亦是该调研的重要目标。该调研尤为关注的核心研究方向，是开发标准化指标，以对计划经济体制下的人民民主国家向市场民主体制转型过程中的社会、经济与政治变革进行操作化定义与量化分析。
