Swedish Party Membership Survey 2015, complete dataset

In the early part of 2015, the party secretaries of six of the eight Swedish Riksdag parties (plus the Feminist Initiative as the only other Swedish party represented in the European Parliament) agreed to take part in an online survey of their memberships, which would be administered through the Laboratory of Opinion Research (LORE) at the University of Gothenburg.

In May, these party secretaries distributed individualized links to an otherwise identical web-survey to their members via email. All parties, except for the Social Democrats, sent out the survey to the entire membership list. The Social Democrats sent the survey to a large randomly drawn sample from their membership list. When it was closed on July 3, a total of 10,392 Swedish party members had completed the survey.

Purpose:

The purpose of the Swedish party membership survey is to allow researchers to investigate much more specific and rich questions about party members in Sweden. The survey questions are grouped into six modules: socio-demographic, general political attitudes, reasons for and extent of enrolment, position within the party, activism, and perception of role and attitudes towards membership. The questions were developed in consultation with the Members and Activists of Political Parties (MAPP) research group in order to facilitate cross-national comparisons.

The dataset is available as a SPSS file (.sav), a Nesstar Publisher project and as comma-separated values (.csv).

2015年初，瑞典议会（Riksdag）八个政党中的六位党秘书，连同唯一另一名获得欧洲议会席位的瑞典政党——女权倡议党（Feminist Initiative）的代表，同意参与由哥德堡大学民意研究实验室（Laboratory of Opinion Research, LORE）负责实施的面向本党党员的线上调研。同年5月，上述党秘书通过电子邮件向各自党员发送了个性化专属链接但问卷内容完全一致的网络调研问卷。除瑞典社会民主党（Social Democrats）外，其余所有政党均将问卷发放至全体党员名单；社民党则从其党员名录中随机抽取了大规模样本开展调研。截至7月3日调研关闭时，总计10392名瑞典党员完成了本次问卷。调研目的：本瑞典党员调研的核心目标，是为研究者提供可针对瑞典党员开展更具精细化与丰富性研究的载体。调研问题共分为六大模块：社会人口学特征、总体政治态度、入党动机与参与程度、党内任职情况、党员活跃性，以及对党员角色的认知与相关态度。本次调研问卷由政党成员与活动家研究小组（Members and Activists of Political Parties, MAPP）合作研发，以支持跨国比较研究。本数据集可通过SPSS格式文件（.sav）、Nesstar Publisher项目文件及逗号分隔值格式文件（.csv）三种形式获取。
