Abstract

Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.

  

The British Social Attitudes Survey began in 1983 with the aim of monitoring patterns of continuity and change in attitudes to social issues. It asks a representative sample of people questions covering social, political and moral issues.

This teaching dataset has been created from the original British Social Attitudes Survey, 2019 (SN 8772), which interviewed 3,224 adults aged 18 and over.. It has been adapted for teaching with a reduced number of variables on the theme of attitudes towards welfare and poverty.


Main Topics:

  • views about poverty
  • interest in politics and party identification
  • trust
  • government spending
  • attitude scales: left-right ideology, libertarian and authoritarian scale and welfarism scale
  • demographic variables
