Finnish Voter Barometer 1983

The data were collected in two rounds. In the first round, before the 1983 parliamentary elections, the respondents were asked how they had voted in the 1982 presidential elections and in the 1980 municipal elections, and how they were going to vote in the forthcoming parliamentary elections. In the second round, after the elections, the respondents were asked whether they voted or not, when they voted and how interested they were in politics. Several questions focused on the respondent's party loyalty and choice of candidate. In addition, the respondents were asked what they regarded as the most important goals of political activity, and whether they had been involved in the work of various organisations. The respondents assessed different parties, and conflicts of interests between various groups in society. Background variables included the respondents gender, education, occupation, age, year of birth, number of school-age children, household income, occupation of the head of the household, type of municipality of residence, and province of residence.

数据收集分为两轮进行。在第一轮，即在1983年议会选举之前，受访者被询问他们在1982年总统选举和1980年地方选举中的投票情况，以及他们在即将到来的议会选举中的投票意向。在第二轮，即在选举之后，受访者被问及他们是否参与了投票，投票时间以及他们对政治的兴趣程度。其中一些问题专注于受访者的政党忠诚度和候选人选择。此外，受访者还被询问他们认为政治活动最重要的目标是什么，以及他们是否参与过各种组织的活动。受访者对不同的政党进行了评估，并分析了社会各群体之间的利益冲突。背景变量包括受访者的性别、教育程度、职业、年龄、出生年份、在校儿童数量、家庭收入、户主职业、居住地类型以及居住省份。
