German General Social Survey - ALLBUS 2002

ALLBUS (GGSS - the German General Social Survey) is a biennial trend survey based on random samples of the German population. Established in 1980, its mission is to monitor attitudes, behavior, and social change in Germany. Each ALLBUS cross-sectional survey consists of one or two main question modules covering changing topics, a range of supplementary questions and a core module providing detailed demographic information. Additionally, data on the interview and the interviewers are provided as well. Key topics generally follow a 10-year replication cycle, many individual indicators and item batteries are replicated at shorter intervals.

Since the mid-1980ies ALLBUS also regularly hosts one or two modules of the ISSP (International Social Survey Programme).

The main question modules of ALLBUS/GGSS 2002 are “Religion and Worldview” and “Personal and Collective Value Orientations.” Further topics are, for example, attitudes towards politics and the economy, perception of gender roles, and attitudes towards foreigners living in Germany. Finally, the ISSP modules "Family and Changing Gender Roles III" and "Social Networks II" are also included.<br>ALLBUS/GGSS 2002 is an English translation of the original German
