Abstract

The British Social Attitudes (BSA) survey series began in 1983, and has been conducted every year since, except in 1988 and 1992 when core funding was devoted to conducting post-election studies in the British Election Study (BES) series (held at the Archive under GN 33066). However, for reasons of continuity, in 1997 a scaled-down BSA was also fielded in addition to the BES. Core funding for BSA is supplemented by financial support from a number of sources (including government departments, the ESRC and other research foundations), but final responsibility for the coverage and wording of the annual questionnaires rests with the NatCen Social Research (formerly known as the National Centre for Social Research and before that, Social and Community Planning Research). The series is designed to produce annual measures of attitudinal movements which will complement large-scale government surveys such as the General Lifestyle Survey and the Labour Force Survey (held under GN 33090 and GN 33246 respectively), which deal largely with facts and behaviour patterns, as well as the data on party political attitudes produced by the polls. One of its main purposes is to allow the monitoring of patterns of continuity and change, and the examination of the relative rates at which attitudes, in respect of a range of social issues, change over time. Some questions are asked regularly, others less often. Many were also included in the Northern Ireland Social Attitudes Survey (NISA) series which ran from 1989-1996 (held under GN 33235). NISA has been succeeded by the Northern Ireland Life and Times Survey (NILT) series (held under GN 33312), and the corresponding Young Life and Times Survey (YLT) series (held aunder GN 33313), which surveys young people aged 12-17 living in the households of adults interviewed for NILT. Both series began in 1998. Additional studies A combined BSA dataset is available (SN 2824) which includes data from 1983-1989 as well as an information retrieval program and a data extraction program. Also, in 1994, 1998 and 2003, the BSA survey was accompanied by the Young People's Social Attitudes Survey (YPSA) (held under GN 33338), which was designed to explore the attitudes and values of children and young people, and where possible to make comparisons with those held by adults. The sample for YPSA was drawn from young people aged 12-19 years living in the households of adults interviewed for the BSA survey. in addition, a compilation of BSA data and documentation, including interactive descriptive statistics, is available via the Britsocat web site, maintained by the Centre for Comparative European Survey Data. Further information about the series and links to publications may be found on the NatCen Social Research British Social Attitudes web page.
During 2009, a sub-sample of 30 respondents to the BSA 2008 were also interviewed for a qualitative study, held under SN 6616 - Attitudes to Genetically Modified Foods, 2009.
Main Topics: The BSA questionnaire normally comprises two parts, one administered and one for self-completion. Each year the interview questionnaire contains a number of 'core' questions, which are repeated in most years. In addition, a wide range of background and classificatory questions is included. The remainder of the questionnaire is devoted to a series of questions (modules) on a range of social, economic, political and moral issues - some asked regularly, others less often. Cross-indexes of those questions asked more than once appear in the reports. In 1985, an international survey series initiative funded by the Nuffield Foundation, known as the International Social Survey Programme (ISSP) (held under GN 33213) commenced. The BSA series contributes data each year for the ISSP, and so some questionnaire modules now allow cross-national comparisons. The ISSP modules are always contained in the self-completion part of the questionnaire.
The BSA 2008 questionnaires included modules covering: attitudes to health, social welfare, transport, religion and faith, education, food technology and national identity. Versions A and B of the self-completion questionnaire included a module of questions about religion, which comprised the 2008 ISSP component.
