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

今天的英国似乎更右翼、更民族主义、更民粹主义，对推动共同商定目标的政治机构更持怀疑态度和敌意；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，这种态度是否会继续存在，它们是否构成了公众舆论中更普遍的右倾和威权主义调整的一部分？这项与苏格兰社会研究中心合作的学生项目将利用近40年来36波英国社会态度(BSA)调查数据来探索这些问题和问题。该项目使用高级量化方法(AQM)，并基于对现有BSA数据(36年BSA调查数据)的二次分析，以图表和检查英国民众不断变化的态度和价值观-以及不同社会经济群体和英国-国家和地区随时间的变化和变化。特别是，我们想知道全国人口中的欧洲怀疑论和福利怀疑主义观点是否或在多大程度上相关，我们还想知道这些变化是否与英国人口中政治价值观的变化有关。在这里，我们将使用BSA数据集中可用的经过验证的政治尺度：左翼-右翼、自由意志主义-威权主义和福利主义。

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.
