Latin American Public Opinion Project (LAPOP), 2004-2015 [28 COUNTRIES]

The Latin American Public Opinion Project (LAPOP) is an academic institution hosted by Vanderbilt University that began with the study of democratic values in Costa Rica, but today carries out surveys in much of Latin America, Canada, the United States, and the Caribbean. In 2004, LAPOP established the AmericasBarometer as multi-country, regularly conducted survey of democratic values and behaviors in the Americas, and the first round included voting-age respondents from 11 countries. The 2014 round, which marks the latest round of surveys of the AmericasBarometer, includes surveys conducted in 28 countries across the Americas and more than 50,000 interviews. LAPOP collected opinions on major problems facing the country and community, threats to security, attitudes towards the country's political system, and trust in government institutions. Also measured were respondents' participation in community organizations, attitudes towards government critics, voting behavior, confidence in local government, and the prevalence of crime. Demographic information collected includes nationality, ethnicity, native language, age, gender, education level, occupation, religion, and whether the respondent lives in an urban or rural area.

拉丁美洲公众舆论项目（LAPOP）是一家由范德堡大学主办的学术机构，其起源可追溯至对哥斯达黎加民主价值观的研究，而如今已在拉丁美洲、加拿大、美国及加勒比地区广泛开展调查。2004年，LAPOP创立了美洲晴雨表，这是一项多国定期的民主价值观与行为调查，首轮调查涵盖了11个国家的投票年龄受访者。2014轮调查，作为美洲晴雨表调查的最新一轮，在美洲28个国家进行了调查，并收集了超过50,000份访谈数据。LAPOP收集了受访者对国家及社区面临的重大问题的看法、对安全的威胁、对国家政治系统的态度，以及对政府机构的信任度。此外，还测量了受访者在社区组织中的参与度、对政府批评者的态度、投票行为、对地方政府的信心以及犯罪率的普遍性。收集的人口统计数据包括国籍、民族、母语、年龄、性别、教育水平、职业、宗教信仰，以及受访者是否居住在城乡地区。
