Description
This study is number six in the collection of Swedish election studies carried out in connection with a general election. In 1973 a new kind of panel was introduced. This was a two-run panel, in which half of the 1973 sample was reinterviewed in 1976. The new respondents in 1976 were reinterviewed in 1979, and so on. In this way, all respondents will be interviewed twice. In addition to the usual content, this study includes a large number of questions on international politics and events; interest in international politics, opinions on alarming international events, the superpowers, the Common Market, the Middle East conflict, and the war in Vietnam. There are also questions on what the respondent wants the parties to accomplish on national and local level, and about the respondent´s knowledge of the candidates to the parliamentary and local election. Unlike most of the election studies, this study does not include questions on mass media.
