Building a Data Base for Analysis of Global Sociopolitical Change

该项目为将于1990年秋季至1993年秋季在每个欧洲共同体国家进行的7项欧元晴雨表调查编制了数据集和编码簿。这些国家包括德国(拥有来自过去西德和东德的全尺寸代表性国家样本)、法国、英国、意大利、荷兰、比利时、卢森堡、丹麦、爱尔兰、希腊、西班牙和葡萄牙。每年春天和秋天，这12个国家都会进行相同的调查。除了处理这些调查外，调查员还编制了一份最新的累积档案，将1970年至1993年欧洲共同体调查中反复询问的那些项目纳入其中。研究人员还将为世界价值观调查准备一个综合数据集，结合1981-82年调查的24个国家的数据，以及1990-1991年在42个国家进行的第二波研究的数据。这些数据将通过密歇根大学的大学间政治和社会研究联盟、调查数据档案馆提供给社会科学界。这个数据库结合了所有六个有人居住的大陆上42个国家的个人调查数据和国家一级的社会经济和政治数据，将有可能审查经济和政治事件对个人取向的影响；以及大众态度和文化模式对政治和社会变化的影响。

This project prepares data sets and codebooks for the seven Euro- Barometer surveys to be carried out in each of the European Community countries from fall 1990 through fall 1993. These countries include Germany (with full-size representative national samples from what used to be both West Germany and East Germany), France, Great Britain, Italy, The Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Denmark, Ireland, Greece, Spain and Portugal. Identical surveys are carried out in these twelve nations each spring and each fall. In addition to processing these surveys, the investigators prepare an updated cumulative file, incorporating those items asked repeatedly in the European Community surveys from 1970 through 1993. The investigators will also prepare an integrated dataset for the World Values Survey, combining data from 24 nations surveyed in 1981-82; together with data from the second wave of this study, carried out in 42 countries in 1990-1991. These data will be made available to the social science community through the Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research, Survey Data Archive at the University of Michigan. Combining individual-level survey data and national-level socioeconomic and political data from 42 nations on all six inhabited continents, this data base will make it possible to examine the impact of economic and political events on individual-level orientations; and the consequences that mass attitudes and cultural patterns have for political and social change.
