The British Social Attitudes survey is the leading social research survey
in Britain. Since 1983, the annual surveys conducted by the National Centre
for Social Research (NatCen) have continually monitored and interpreted the
British public's changing attitudes towards social, economic, political
and moral issues. Its findings are reported and interpreted in a series
of annual reports; the 26th Report was published in January 2010.
This web-site was developed by the Centre for Comparative European Survey Data
(CCESD) to provide non-specialist users with on-line access and analysis of a cumulative
database of over 20,000 survey questions asked in British Social Attitudes
surveys over the last 26 years.
