International Social Survey Programme, 2020: Attitudes to the Environment

<p>The <i>International Social Survey Programme</i> (ISSP) is a continuing annual programme of cross-national collaboration on surveys covering topics important for social science research. It brings together pre-existing national social science projects and co-ordinates research goals, thereby adding a cross-national, cross-cultural perspective to the individual, national studies. Formed in 1983, the programme develops topical modules dealing with important areas of social science as supplements to regular national surveys. Every survey includes questions about general attitudes toward various social issues such as the legal system, gender, and the economy. Special topics have included the environment, the role of government, social inequality, social support, family and gender issues, work orientation, the impact of religious background, behaviour, and beliefs on social and political preferences, and national identity. Participating countries vary for each topical module. In Great Britain, the ISSP is run by NatCen Social Research as part of the <a href="https://beta.ukdataservice.ac.uk/datacatalogue/series/series?id=200006" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" target="_blank">British Social Attitudes</a> survey.</p><p>Further information can be found on the <a href="https://natcen.ac.uk/international-social-survey-programme" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">NatCen ISSP</a> webpage and the main <a href="https://issp.org/">ISSP</a> website.<br></p> <p><span>The </span><span style="font-style: italic;">International Social Survey Programme, 2020: Attitudes to the Environment</span> dataset represents the Great Britain data collected for the ISSP 2020 module on attitudes to the environment.
