Description

Since 1986 the research project ´Samhälle Opinion Massmedia´ (SOM) has been carrying out an annual nation-wide survey of Swedish opinions. This is accordingly the ninth survey in this series. The questionnaire was divided into six subject fields: mass media; politics and society; energy, nuclear power and environment; Sweden and the rest of the world; leisure; and background. Most of the questions are replications of questions asked in one or several previous SOM-surveys. New questions dealt with equality between men and women; Sweden´s future relation to the European Union; confidence in various groups concerning information about the European Union; the importance of various issues for the respondent´s own opinion on a Swedish membership of the European Union; opinion on establishment of various activities in the respondent´s own municipality; the rights of various ethnical groups to look after their interests; and radio channels listened to. The respondents also had to place the political parties on a scale measuring attitude towards christian values.
