Description

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.
