Description
| This file combines the fourth and fifth studies in the National Social Science Survey (NSSS) series and repeats many of the questions asked in previous rounds. While conducted as two separate mail surveys, questionnaires for the Family Survey, conducted in 1989-90, and the Lifestyles Survey, conducted in 1990, were identical for the most part allowing responses from both samples to be combined. The Family Survey component also includes questions asked as part of the International Social Survey Programme (ISSP) study of Family and Changing Sex Roles. Comparative data from all countries in the ISSP have been processed and distributed by the Zentralarchiv fur Empirische Sozialforschung (ZA) at the University of Cologne (ZA Study 1700,1988). Questions common to both studies cover attitudes to government spending and government policies, life satisfaction, abortion, feeling thermometer ratings of political leaders, groups and institutions, religious beliefs, income returns for education, courtship and marriage, involvement in decision making at work, work values and fairness of pay, leisure activities, the importance of higher pay to get people to work hard, study and learn new skills, do responsible and demanding jobs or dirty and dangerous jobs, the importance of these factors to deciding how much people ought to be paid, and views on how much workers in certain occupations are paid and ought to be paid, neighbourhood problems, fear of crime, experience of crime, trade unionism, privatisation, voting and party indentification. The ISSP study of Family and Changing Sex Roles focuses on the role of women in the family and workplace, attitudes to marriage and divorce, children and childcare. Additional information on the respondents' siblings and attitudes to family taxation was also collected in the survey. Questions included only in the Lifestyles Survey cover parents' participation in cultural activities when respondent was growing up, and respondents participation in those activities then and now, standard of living when growing up and now, attitudes to modern appliances and technology, military threats to Australia, attitudes to preventable diseases.

Series
| National Social Science Survey: The National Social Science Surveys are a series of major multi-purpose survey conducted by researchers at the Australian National University from 1984 to 2001, measuring a wide range of variables of interest in the social sciences, particularly sociology, political science and labour economics. Surveys typically included some 35 pages of questions on attitudes and values and about 25 pages of detailed background and demographic questions. The data are representative of the non-institutionalised population aged 18 years and over, capable of being interviewed in English, in all States and Territories of Australia. In addition to providing representative Australian data, the NSSS studies also formed part of the International Social Survey Programme, a continuing annual programme of cross-national collaboration on surveys covering topics important for social science research. Parallel studies were run in countries around the world (now up to 47 countries), and the international modules of the NSSS were conducted to be directly comparable with these other surveys. Since it's inception in 1984, the ISSP has aimed to collect precisely comparable data which reveal similarities and differences between countries on social attitudes, values and politics. Each year, participating nations field a a short self-completion survey module, 15 minute supplements to the regular national survey which add a cross-national perspective to the individual, national studies. The same questions are asked in all countries, with some omissions and occasional variations in question wording and code categories due to language differences. Comparative data from all countries are then processed and distributed by the GESIS Data Archive and Data Analysis (GESIS Data Archive), the ISSP data archive. |
