A Changed UK? Longitudinal Data Analysis Collaborative Project With ScotCen: Charting Changing Public Attitudes And Values Towards the EU and Welfare

今天的英国似乎更加右翼、民族主义和民粹主义，对促进共同商定目标的政治机构更加怀疑和敌视;欧盟和英国福利国家就是重要的例子。我们如何解释这种趋势，这种态度是否会持续下去，它们是否构成了公众舆论中更普遍的专制和独裁的重新调整的一部分？这个与苏格兰社会研究中心（ScotCen）合作的助学金项目将使用跨越近四十年的36波英国社会态度（BSA）调查数据来探索这些问题。该项目采用先进的定量方法（AQM），并根据现有的BSA数据（36年的BSA调查数据）的二次分析，以图表和研究不断变化的态度和价值观在英国人口-随着时间的推移和变化在不同的社会经济群体和英国国家和地区。特别是，我们想知道欧洲怀疑主义和福利怀疑主义的观点是否或在多大程度上与全国人口有关，我们知道这些变化是否与英国人口中政治价值观的变化性质有关。在这里，我们将使用有效的政治尺度：左，右，自由专制主义和福利主义尺度，可在BSA数据集。

Britain today appears more right-wing, nationalist, populist, and more sceptical and hostile towards political institutions that promote commonly agreed goals; the EU and the British welfare state are important cases in point. How can we explain such trends, are such attitudes here to stay, and do they form part of a more general rightward and authoritarian realignment in public opinion? This Collaborative Studentship project with the Scottish Centre for Social Research (ScotCen) will explore these questions and issues using 36-waves of British Social Attitudes (BSA) survey data spanning nearly four decades. The project employs Advanced Quantitative Methods (AQM) and is based upon a secondary analysis of existing BSA data (36-years of BSA survey data) to chart and examine changing attitudes and values in the British population - and changes over time and changes across different socio-economic groups and the UK-countries and regions. In particular, we want to know whether or to what extent Euroscepticism and welfare-scepticism views are related in the national population, and we know whether these changes are related to the changing nature of political values in the British population. Here we will use the validated political scales: left-right, libertarian-authoritarian and welfarism scales that are available in the BSA datasets.
