International General Social Survey (ISSP), 2014

This ISSP research exercise focuses on attitudes towards citizens and the state. It asks respondents about the quality of a good citizen, social and political participation, active and passive membership in various associations (customers, trade unions, religious organisations, sports associations, etc.), interest in politics, political self-determination of the left-right and trust in politicians and government. Respondents assess the honesty of people, the right choice among the parties, the level of fairness of the last national elections, the service of citizens and the level of corruption in public services, and the functioning of democracy in the country. They also respond to how often they have political debates with friends and set themselves up until the referendum as a good way of political decision-making. The demographic strand includes questions about the respondent’s age, gender, education, employment, occupation, marital status, trade union membership, religious beliefs, participation in the last election, elected party (left-right), ethnic membership, household size, income, parents’ country of birth and region of residence.
