The National SOM Survey 2023

In order to identify how the evolution of society affects Swedes’ attitudes and behaviour, the SOM Institute started its National SOM study in 1986. National SOM addresses three areas - society, opinion and mass media - and consists of several parallel surveys. All surveys include a large number of questions related to politics, society, media and social background, but their areas of focus differ. In 2023, seven different questionnaires were distributed. The main purpose is to establish time series that enable researchers to analyse how various changes in society affect people's attitudes and behaviour. The dataset has changed somewhat in relation to the codebook, in order to reduce the risk of re-identification. The following changes have been made: Variables removed: samprob_txt, vanster_txt, hoger_txt, andisk_txt, ansex_txt, mtidn1, mtidn2, anparti, anspraak_txt, angrupp, anutb, kommun, f181, f183, f184, ssyk, ssyk96 Variables added: samhällsgrupp Variables aggregated: f179, län, fackforb, f176c
