The National SOM Survey 1990

The questionnaire for the fifth study in the series of annual SOM surveys was divided into seven subject fields: mass media; politics and society; energy, nuclear power and environment; Sweden´s relation to other countries; Islam; leisure; and background. The SOM surveys contains a core of questions asked annually. New questions in SOM90 dealt with good qualities in daily papers; priority of news from different areas; confidence in Swedish mass media; whether different activities should be handled by the public sector or by private enterprises, associations, or by individuals; government intervention; opinions on different suggestions in the Swedish environmental debate, and own environmental activities; attitudes toward Islam. Purpose: 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 SOM Institute also has an online tool for data analysis, where you can work with data from the national SOM surveys directly in your web browser. You can find it at www.som-institutet/dataanalys
