Abstract
The ISSP is a continuing annual programme of cross-national collaboration on surveys covering topics important for social science research. It brings together pre-existing social science projects and coordinates research goals, thereby adding a cross-national, cross-cultural perspective to the individual national studies. ISSP module includes: 1.The function of the goverment in the economy, distribution and redistribution. 2. Attitudes towards governmental expenditures. 3. Evalution of the power of the goverment, labour unions, and large industrial firms. 4.The function of the government in solving problems of inequality. 5. Opinions concerning taxes. 6. Level of alienation by policies towards the citizenry. 7. Inclination towards social protest and level of tolerance towards extremism. Beside the ISSP module, the questionsnaire also included a block of questions concerning levels of anomie (social frustration), questions identifying left-right and libertarian –authoritarian axes of the political spectrum, and questions concerning the crystallisation of the middle class. Demographic characteristics are in Czech-specific form.

Adult population of the Czech Republic older than 18 years of age.
Sampling procedure
Three-stage random stratified sample. The basic sample unit was the household. First stage: Selection of the 100 largest settlements (cities and towns) in the Czech Republic. For every city/town on the list a random sampling of addresses was made to select a number of people corresponding the share of the city/town population in the entire population of the Czech Republic. Second stage: Random selection of addresses from other settlements up to the total size of the sample. Third stage: a) Preparation of the list of all adult members (older than 18) in every contacted household. b) Selection of the respondent according the date of birth (the person with the closest birthday). If the selected respondent was not present, the interviewer had to make two other attempts to contact him/her. The replacement by the person with the second closest birthday was allowed only in case of a long term absence (one month and more) of the respondent first selected.
