Dados de um inquérito britânico sobre atitudes sociais
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 British Social Attitudes Information System is maintained 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 25 years.
Data and documentation from all surveys from 1983 are routinely deposited with the UK Data Service (UKDS) based at Essex University and can be searched on their page British Social Attitudes Survey . Files are accessible from UKDS: the list of currently available waves is on British Social Attitudes links 1983 onwards. I am currently working on tutorials using data from the 2011 wave and from the 2009 to 2014 waves in the cumulative file. Some of these are already available on page 3.2 Three (or more) variables and in 4.2.1 Income differences – Statistical significance

Raw data sets are exactly as they would arrive from the fieldwork agency or from institutional data-prep services (in 80-column ASCII format, fixed width font).
SPSS saved files for British Social Attitudes 1986 and 1989 and Quality of Life in Britain are initial files only. Variables in the BSA series are (re-) named using the positional naming convention. There are no mnemonic names and no derived variables, but these will be generated during the exercises. These files have full permissions for use and distribution.
SPSS (19, 21 and 22) can open *.sav and *.sps files downloaded from this site and also save them to a drive on your computer. Earlier tutorials and exercises require you to define a few variables, read in raw data and add dictionary information, then save the files. However, for surveys with dozens, if not hundreds, of variables, this would be too onerous a requirement, especially for beginners. Later tutorials and exercises will need access to much larger saved files containing hundreds of variables and thousands of cases.

Dados de um questionário a 50 professores londrinos.
A study of values and attitudes among fifth formers in a North London comprehensive school.
This survey of teenage attitudes and opinions in a North London comprehensive school (11-18 mixed) was designed and conducted, under my guidance and supervision, by three of my sophomore students as part of their group research dissertation for BA Applied Social Studies (Social Research) at the Polytechnic of North London (PNL, now part of London Metropolitan University). . It aimed to discover something about pupils’ future expectations and awareness of, and attitudes towards, various current social issues and problems, particularly racism and sexism. It replicates various items and scales from other work (Wilson-Patterson, Eysenck, Himmelweit, Srole-Christie) particularly the St Paul’s Girls senior pupils study (Feb 1973) some of which were also used in the SSRC Survey Unit Quality of Life surveys 1971-75.
The self-completion questionnaire was completed in December 1981 by all fifth form pupils present on the day of the survey (N=142). It was administered during time-tabled Social Studies classes and, time permitting, was followed by discussion with class teachers and the PNL students of the issues covered in the survey.
Given the particularly high quality of this project, a user manual was prepared by John Hall and Alison Walker for use with the postgraduate Survey Analysis Workshop and the undergraduate course Data Management and Analysis. It serves as model documentation for similar small survey projects.

Alguma informação sobre a qualidade de vida na inglaterra
I have recently been making extensive revisions in the area of Subjective Social Indicators and it now makes more sense to split the page into three sections. Previous contents of his page have now been spread across several new pages.
Quality of Life: Measurement and methodology
There has been intense (often polemical) debate over the years on methodology and measurement of the concept “Quality of Life” and there is a variety of working definitions deriving from diverse academic disciplines and political perspectives. This page lists sources of philosophical and disciplinary arguments for and against quantitative research on subjective social indicators.
Measures of psychological well-being
This page will list scales to measure psychological well-being, tried and tested in the field on general populations. Scales tested on students will not be listed, unless they have also been used on general populations. See also:
SSRC Survey Unit Quality of Life in Britain surveys 1971 – 1975
Summary information and detailed abstracts on all “Quality of Life in Britain” surveys conducted at the SSRC Survey Unit between 1971 and 1975 by Mark Abrams and John Hall. (Variables, fieldwork, sampling, facsimile questionnaires, user-manuals, data sets, publications.)

Alguns recursos sobre estudos por inquérito.
This section covers survey methods in general and has links to useful resources, but there are no learning materials as such.
For a good general introduction, see What is a survey? (American Statistical Association booklet, 68 pp., 2004 by Fritz Scheuren: combines as chapters a series of separate earlier pamphlets starting with What is a survey? by Robert Ferber, Chair, Paul Sheatsley, Anthony Turner and Joseph Waksberg, ASA, 1980 )
Flow diagram of the stages of a survey (from page 8 of Scheuren above). These days we should perhaps add a Stage 7: Secondary analysis

What is SPSS and what does it do?
SPSS consists of an integrated series of computer programs which enable the user to read data from questionnaire surveys and other sources (e.g. medical and administrative records) to manipulate them in various ways and to produce a wide range of statistical analyses and reports, together with documentation.
Most users will have access to SPSS via their college or workplace or by purchasing the Gradpack version (specially priced for students). Full details are on IBM SPSS Solutions for Education and there is a comparison table showing what is available in each version.
