The International Social Survey Programme (ISSP) is one of the most important attempts to undertake cross-national survey research that currently exists. 46 countries currently participate, covering all five of inhabited continents across the world. Each year, member countries field an agreed module of 60 questions on a particular topic, usually as part of an existing random probability survey. The data from these studies, along with a set of prescribed socio-demographic background variables is then deposited in an agreed format with ISSP data archive. A wide range of different modules have been fielded since the project began in 1985, covering topics such as social inequality, religion and the role of government. Topics are chosen at an annual plenary meeting by attending members. They are revisited periodically, with a number having been covered three or four times. As a result, ISSP data can be used both to examine differences between countries at a particular point in time and to compare differences in trends over time.A combined dataset containing data for all countries is made publicly available to the research community approximately two years after data collection has taken place. ISSP data are widely used; worldwide, over 200 publications are recorded each year. In Britain, there have been over 500 publications using ISSP data since the programme began, close to 10% of the worldwide total.Since ISSP began, Britain's participation has been facilitated by including the ISSP module on a self-completion supplement that forms part of the British Social Attitudes survey (BSA), an annual, high quality independent survey conducted by NatCen. This is a highly cost effective way of fielding the module, as only the marginal costs of asking the ISSP questions have to be covered.Until 2002, British participation was primarily funded through core funding given to the Centre for Research into Elections and Social Trends, an ESRC Research Centre. Since 2004 it has been funded as a research resource by the ESRC Resources Board, and this application proposes that this arrangement should continue for a further three years. ISSP will cover three topics during this period: role of government (2016), social networks (2017) and religion (2018):- The role of government module was previously fielded in 1985, 1990, 1996 and 2006. Its repetition will provide valuable data allowing us to track how views about issues such as extremism, surveillance and counter-terrorism have changed over time, at a time when many countries have experienced terror attacks or threats (and thus when we might anticipate attitude change)- The 2017 module on social networks was fielded in 1986 and 2004, and will include questions on support networks, a census of family and friendship relations, the use of social media in maintaining relationships, and whether relationships are positive or not. The module also looks at who should provide care and services for vulnerable groups at a time when an aging population is causing financial strain in many countries- The 2018 module on religion (asked 1991, 1998, 2008) will allow us to examine spirituality and well-being, the place of religion within state institutions, and the role of religion in conflict and extremism. This will provide valuable insights into how people follow and perceive religion during a period when it has been called on to justify acts of extremism and aggressionA range of dissemination activities promoting awareness and use of ISSP data by social science researchers, policy-makers and media are proposed. These include: including at least one chapter a year based on ISSP data in the annual BSA report, which is freely available online and widely disseminated; developing a bespoke ISSP website including visualization of ISSP data; utilizing NatCen's strong social media presence to raise awareness of the data; delivering presentations to relevant research and policy audiences.

国际社会调查方案是目前进行跨国调查研究的最重要尝试之一。目前有46个国家参加，涵盖世界上所有五个有人居住的大陆。每年，成员国就一个特定主题提出一个商定的60个问题模块，通常作为现有随机概率调查的一部分。这些研究的数据，沿着一套规定的社会人口背景变量，然后以商定的格式存入ISSP数据档案。自1985年开始实施该项目以来，已采用了各种不同的单元，涉及社会不平等、宗教和政府作用等主题。主题由出席成员在年度全体会议上选定。定期对这些报告进行审查，有些报告已经审查了三、四次。因此，ISSP的数据既可用于研究各国在某一特定时间点的差异，也可用于比较一段时间内趋势的差异。ISSP数据被广泛使用;全世界每年记录200多份出版物。在英国，自ISSP项目开始以来，已有500多份出版物使用ISSP数据，接近全球总数的10%。自ISSP项目开始以来，英国的参与得到了促进，将ISSP模块纳入了英国社会态度调查（BSA）的自我完成补充部分，BSA是NatCen进行的年度高质量独立调查的一部分。这是一个非常具有成本效益的方式来部署该模块，因为只有提出ISSP问题的边际成本必须支付，直到2002年，英国的参与主要是通过核心资金提供给选举和社会趋势研究中心，ESRC研究中心。自2004年以来，它一直由ESRC资源委员会资助作为研究资源，本申请建议这种安排应继续三年。在此期间，ISSP将涵盖三个主题：政府的作用（2016年），社交网络（2017年）和宗教（2018年）：-政府模块的作用以前曾在1985年，1990年，1996年和2006年部署。它的重复将提供宝贵的数据，使我们能够跟踪在许多国家经历恐怖袭击或威胁的时候，对极端主义，监视和反恐等问题的看法如何随着时间的推移而变化（因此，当我们可能会预期态度的变化）-2017年的社交网络模块在1986年和2004年推出，并将包括支持网络的问题，家庭和友谊关系的普查，社交媒体在维持关系中的使用，以及关系是否积极。该模块还研究了在人口老龄化导致许多国家财政紧张的情况下，谁应该为弱势群体提供护理和服务-2018年宗教模块（1991年，1998年，2008年）将使我们能够研究精神和福祉，宗教在国家机构中的地位，以及宗教在冲突和极端主义中的作用。这将提供宝贵的见解，了解人们如何遵循和看待宗教的一段时间，它已被要求为极端主义和侵略行为辩护的一系列传播活动，促进社会科学研究人员，决策者和媒体对ISSP数据的认识和使用。其中包括：每年至少在BSA年度报告中纳入一个基于ISSP数据的章节，该报告可在网上免费获得并广泛传播;开发一个定制的ISSP网站，包括ISSP数据的可视化;利用NatCen强大的社交媒体影响力提高对数据的认识;向相关研究和政策受众提供演示。
