Description:
|
Both
the Northern Ireland Social Attitudes Survey which ran from 1989
to 1996 and the Northern
Ireland Life and Times Survey which began in 1998 monitored
attitudes to community relations. Many of the same questions were
asked year on year and the results are summarised and presented
here as a time-series.
Carried out immediately after the Northern Ireland Assembly elections,
the Northern
Ireland Referendum and Election Study (1998) and the Northern
Ireland Assembly Elections Study (2003) were designed to measure
attitudes and behaviour at those elections.
In
2004, with funding from The
Nuffield Foundation, a specialist dataset was created, pooling
subsets of data from the surveys highlighted above.
