European Social Survey - Rounds 9 and 10 UK National Coordinator

欧洲社会调查（ESS）是一项独特的跨国研究，自2002年以来，一直试图衡量和解释欧洲不断变化的制度与其人口的态度、价值观和行为之间的关系。这项调查每两年进行一次。每一轮都包含一组核心问题，涵盖一系列主题，包括媒体使用、社会信任、政治归属和参与、主观幸福感、社会排斥、宗教、歧视、国家认同、公民身份、移民以及社会人口分类问题。此外，每一轮还包含两个轮转问题模块。每个模块更详细地关注一个特定的主题。纳入的主题是由ESS中央策略团队组织的学者之间的公开竞争选出的。学术团队提交他们的申请和他们的主题的理由，以及他们寻求衡量的细节，以及如何实现这一目标。第九轮的主题是社会中的正义和公平，以及生命的时机，这重复了前一轮的一个模块。第十轮的议题尚未最终确定。每个参与国任命一名国家协调员，其作用是监督该系统在该国的实施情况，并任命一个调查组织进行实地工作和准备数据。这项建议涉及国家协调员的作用。国家协调员（NC）的目的是监督ESS在英国的实施，协调参与ESS的各种不同团体，并向分析师以及其他相关方（例如政府或第三部门）推广ESS数据。NC必须确保调查在所有阶段都按照ESS的高标准进行，从样本设计到数据收集和准备最终数据集以交付ESS存档。这些标准和要求载列于ESS总监和CST编制的ESS规范中。NC还必须同意对ESS问卷进行必要的调整，以确保它适合英国，同时确保满足ESS数据要求。此外，委员会还为CST提供建议，参与问卷设计和ESS方法的讨论，并参加两年一次的委员会论坛会议。ESS是一项备受瞩目且广受尊重的社会调查，与NatCen有着长期的联系。这可以追溯到ESS的初始阶段，它是由SCPR（当时被称为NatCen）的创始人Roger Jowell教授推动的。在许多方面，ESS与英国社会态度调查中心自己的态度调查有很多相似之处。因此，我们分享了ESS的许多价值观和目标，特别是对严格方法的承诺和阐明一般人群的态度和意见的愿望。NatCen在2002年、2008年、2014年和2016年承担了前八轮ESS的协调工作以及实地调查工作。我们还在第6轮的同时进行了一项混合模式实验，使用面对面和在线数据收集相结合的方式。作为第8轮谈判的一部分，我们还承担了招募CRONOS小组英国成员的工作。

The European Social Survey (ESS) is a unique cross-national study which, since 2002, has sought to measure and explain the relationship between Europe's changing institutions and the attitudes, values and behaviours of its population.The survey is run biennially. Each Round contains a set of core set of questions, which cover a range of topics including media use, social trust, political affiliation and engagement, subjective well-being, social exclusion, religion, discrimination, national identity citizenship, immigration as well as socio-demographic classification questions.In addition, each Round contains two rotating question modules. Each module focuses on a particular topic in more detail. The topics for inclusion are selected by an open competition among academics organised by the ESS Central Strategic team. Academic teams submit their applications and justifications for their topics and details of what they seek to measure and how this will be achieved. The topics for Round 9 are Justice and Fairness in Society and Timing of Life, which repeats a module run in an earlier Round. The topics for Round 10 are yet to be finalised.Each participating country appoints a National Coordinator, whose role is to oversee the implementation of the ESS in that country and a survey organisation which undertakes the fieldwork and prepares the data. This proposal relates to the role of the National Coordinator.The aim of the National Coordinator (NC) is to oversee the implementation of the ESS in the UK, coordinating between the various different groups involved in ESS and promoting ESS data to analysts as well as other interested parties for example in government, or the third sector. The NC must ensure that the survey is conducted according to the high standards of the ESS at all stages, from sample design through to data collection and preparation of the final dataset for delivery to the ESS archive. These standards and requirements are set out in the ESS specifications prepared by the ESS Director and CST. The NC must also agree the necessary adjustments to the ESS questionnaire to ensure it is appropriate for the UK, whilst at the same time ensuring that the ESS data requirements are met. In addition, the NC provides advice to the CST and contributes to discussions about questionnaire design and the ESS methodology and attends the biannual NC Forum meetings.The ESS is a high-profile and widely respected social survey with which NatCen has a long association. This can be traced back to the original inception of the ESS, which was driven by Professor Roger Jowell, SCPR's (as NatCen was known then) founder. In many respects, the ESS shares a lot of similarities with British Social Attitudes (BSA), NatCen's own attitudinal survey. We therefore share many of the values and objectives of ESS, in particular a commitment to rigorous methodology and a desire to shed light on the attitudes and opinions of the general population. NatCen has undertaken the coordination of the first eight rounds of the ESS as well as the survey fieldwork in 2002, 2008, 2014 and 2016. We have also conducted a mixed mode experiment alongside Round 6 using a combination of face-to-face and online data collection. We also undertook the recruitment of the UK element of the CRONOS panel as part of Round 8.
