This project adds questions to the 2020 General Social Survey (GSS) to look at the changing shape of faith-related attitudes and behaviors in America. Over the past thirty years, the landscape of these attitudes and behaviors in America has dramatically changed. While the broad contours of these changes have been captured by public opinion surveys, their causes and consequences often remain underexplored because of the limits of current survey data. The GSS is a publicly available data source, which means that any scholar interested in the study of faith-related attitudes and behaviors and culture can draw on these questions.Through this project, a battery of approximately 40-50 survey questions about faith-related attitudes and behaviors will be included on the 2020 GSS. The GSS is an ideal instrument through which to examine this changing landscape and its connection to broader cultural values for a number of reasons. First, the GSS remains the gold standard in survey research, with an exceptionally high response rate (above 60 percent) and interviews that are conducted face to face on a nationally representative sample of Americans. Second, the GSS already has a wide variety of questions relating to faith and on other social, cultural, and political attitudes. In combination with these already existing questions, our module will allow scholars to tap into different aspects of attachments, beliefs, and attitudes related to faith, and to uncover important variation among Americans.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该项目在2020年综合社会调查（GSS）中增加了问题，以了解美国与信仰有关的态度和行为的变化。 在过去的30年里，美国人的这些态度和行为已经发生了巨大的变化。 虽然民意调查已经掌握了这些变化的大致轮廓，但由于目前调查数据的限制，其原因和后果往往尚未得到充分探讨。GSS是一个公开的数据源，这意味着任何对信仰相关态度和行为以及文化研究感兴趣的学者都可以利用这些问题。通过该项目，2020年GSS将包含约40-50个关于信仰相关态度和行为的调查问题。全球战略是一个理想的工具，通过它来审查这一不断变化的景观及其与更广泛的文化价值观的联系，原因有很多。 首先，GSS仍然是调查研究的黄金标准，其回复率非常高（超过60%），并且访谈是在具有全国代表性的美国人样本上面对面进行的。 第二，GSS已经有各种各样的问题，涉及信仰和其他社会，文化和政治态度。结合这些已经存在的问题，我们的模块将允许学者挖掘不同方面的附件，信仰和态度有关的信仰，并发现美国人之间的重要差异。这个奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并已被认为是值得通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估的支持。
