Norwegian Election Study 1981

The Norwegian Election Research Programme was launched in the middle of the 1950's, under the direction of The Institute for Social Research. Henry Valen and Stein Rokkan were responsible for the programme. The programme co-operated with Norsk Gallup Institute A/S for sample survey data collection in the election studies covering the Storting elections in 1957, 1965, 1969 and 1973. In these first studies interviews were carried out both before and after the elections. Since 1977 the programme has co-operated with Statistics Norway (SSB) for the data collection for these studies. After 1977 interviewing has only been conducted after the elections. The election studies are intended to give statistical data for research purposes on elections and political processes in Norway. Since the start of the Norwegian Election Programme Professor Henry Valen has been the key administrator, but in 1985 Prof.Bernt Aardal took over as executive manager.

挪威选举研究项目（Norwegian Election Research Programme）于20世纪50年代中期启动，由挪威社会研究所（Institute for Social Research）统筹主管。亨利·瓦伦（Henry Valen）与斯坦·罗坎（Stein Rokkan）负责该项目的整体运营。在1957年、1965年、1969年及1973年的挪威议会（Storting）选举研究中，该项目与挪威盖洛普研究所股份公司（Norsk Gallup Institute A/S）合作开展抽样调查数据的采集工作。上述首批研究均在选举前后同步开展访谈调研。自1977年起，该项目转而与挪威统计局（Statistics Norway，SSB）合作完成此类研究的数据采集工作，且此后仅在选举结束后开展访谈调研。此类选举研究旨在为挪威选举与政治进程的相关学术研究提供统计数据支撑。自该项目启动以来，亨利·瓦伦教授一直担任核心行政负责人，直至1985年由伯恩特·阿尔达尔教授（Bernt Aardal）接任执行主管一职。
