Slovenian public opinion, 1990-1998

Description

The cumulative file of repeated questions from the SJM survey on the topic of measuring political pulse and assessing the situation in society covers the period from 1990 to 1998, with at least one questionnaire per year. The selection of questions stems from the last year, 1998, and retains questions that touch on the theme of the title and are repeated several times during that period. SJM surveys are included in the selection if they contain a larger block of questions from the thematic section. Lonely repetitions of questions are not included in the review as regards SJM surveys, which are part of international comparative projects such as ISSP, WVS and Democratisation in Eastern Europe, 1991, as well as from the German PB survey. A larger number of questions arise from individual of the mentioned researches, where they appear in a different context of thematically rounded sets. The international files of these surveys include Slovenia and are suitable for comparative analysis between countries. Cumulative file SJMPB_98 contains questions of pressing problems (open question), attachment to Slovenia, comparison of living conditions in a five-year period, happiness. The next topic is government participation in the systemic financing of areas of public life, the responsibility of the state for the development and social security of citizens, both repeated from the research Role of the State (ISSP). Respondents comment on the question of what the wage gap should be, assessing the adequacy of income for survival, satisfaction with the material conditions in the family and satisfaction with the state of democracy in Slovenia. A narrower set of questions from the political barometer chapter (partly taken from the German PB) introduces a general assessment of trust in institutions, the performance of the state and individual ministries, the usefulness of Slovenia's EU membership. This is followed by positions on parties and politicians, such as preference for political parties, self-classification on the left-right dimension, and party preferences. It also provides an assessment of the situation in Slovenia after the Second World War. It includes all standard demographic variables such as gender, year of birth, assessment of religion and religious attendance, employment status, occupation, education, wealth, income, subjective social class, willingness to participate in the survey, and data on the region, whether the settlement is urban and the size of the settlement.
