胡杰--英国研究--英国社会态度调查系列

英国社会态度调查系列
英国社会态度(BSA)调查系列始于1983年。自那时以来其年度调查持续研究英国公众对社会、经济、政治和道德等问题的态度所发生的改变(不包括1988年和1992年)。BSA调查系列已经成为研究英国价值观变化的最全面和权威的数据来源。其调查结果报告收录在系列出版书籍中，同时也被大众传播媒介广泛刊载。数据集本身也被社会科学家作为分析和教学材料广泛使用。
BSA调查现在每年有大约 3500 的成年人(年龄18+)样本。调查数据通过计算机辅助个人调查(CAPI)和后续的自填问卷调查收集。BSA调查的主要出版物是其每年编辑的书，书中包含大量文章，对每年的调查结果进行总结说明。数据集在埃塞克斯大学进行存档。由国家中心发布的 BSA 调查年度技术报告中解释了所有的技术细节问题。
此调查系列的核心资金来自塞恩斯伯里家族慈善信托基金。但是大多数的经费来自政府部门、半官方机构(特别是经济和社会研究理事会)以及其他捐赠基金会和信托基金。
British Social Attitudes Survey Series
The British Social Attitudes (BSA) survey series was conceived and first carried out by SCPR (now the National Centre for Social Research) in 1983. Since then its annual surveys and books have continually monitored and interpreted the British publics changing attitudes towards social, economic, political and moral issues. The BSA series has become the most comprehensive and authoritative source of data about the ebb and flow of Britain’s changing values. Its findings are reported and interpreted in the series of annual books, as well as in the mass media and are often at the centre of debates about public policy. The datasets are themselves are also used extensively by social scientists as a rich source of material for analysis and teaching.
The BSA surveys are currently based on representative samples of around 3,500 adults (aged 18+) each year, selected by probability methods from private addresses listed in the Postcode Address File (PAF). Data are collected via Computer Assisted Personal Interview (CAPI), and on a follow-up self-completion questionnaire.
BSA’s main publication is its annual edited book, containing a number of essays summarising and interpreting a selection of each years results. The datasets are also deposited at the Data Archive at the University of Essex. Full technical details are published by the National Centre in annual BSA Technical Reports.
Core-funding for the series comes from the Sainsbury Family Charitable Trusts. Most of the funding, however, comes from government Departments, quasi-government organisations (notably the Economic and Social Research Council) and other grant-giving foundations and trusts.
