Abstract

The British Social Attitudes (BSA) Survey was established in 1983 and is conducted annually by the National Centre for Social Research (formerly SCPR). The primary function of the survey is to measure the changing attitudes, values and beliefs of the British public across a range of subjects including crime, health, education, employment, civil liberties and moral values. (The British Social Attitudes Survey has been conducted every year since 1983, with the exception of 1988 and 1992 when core funding was devoted to conducting post-election studies of political attitudes and political behaviour in the British Election Study (BES) survey series.)
