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, 2017 (SN 8450), which interviewed 3,988 adults aged 18 and over. It has been adapted for teaching with a reduced number of variables on the theme of attitudes towards the environment and politics.
Main Topics:
Topics covered include:
- views about climate change and actions related to the environment (car use, air travel, taxation)
- interest in politics
- voting behaviour and party identification
- attitude scales - left-right ideology and libertarian-authoritarian scale
- demographic variables
