Description
Since 1986 the SOM-institute has been carrying out an annual nation-wide survey - the National SOM - in order to identify the Swedish public's habits and attitudes on the topics of society, politics and media. National SOM 2009 is accordingly the twenty-fourth survey in this series.
The SOM-institute is a collaboration between three departments/institutes at Göteborg University: the Institute for Journalism and Mass Communication, the Department of Political Science, and the Center for Public Sector Research (CEFOS). A number of research projects are involved in the National SOM - most from one of these three institutions, but also external projects are involved.
Since 1998 the survey includes two nation representative samples and uses three different mail questionnaires. One fifth of the questions asked in the three questionnaires are common for both samples, for example questions about media habits, political attitudes, leisure activities, and social background.
Purpose:
The main purpose is to establish time series that enable researchers to analyse how various changes in society affect p
