        -------------------------------
      Observa har fra 1967 gennemført undersøgelser af holdninger og livsvaner, dels gennem såkaldte prøvevalg (postale valgpanels- undersøgelser) dels gennem mere omfattende interviewbaserede indstillingsundersøgelser. Prøvevalgsundersøgelserne er foretaget jævnligt i hele perioden (ca. 10 gange hvert år), medens indstil- lingsundersøgelserne kun blev foretaget kvartalsvist i årene 1969 til 1972. Det lange tidsrum med jævnligt indsamlede, ensartede datamaterialer giver muligheder for forskellige tidsserieanalyser, især hvad angår partipræferencer. Andre emner er sædvanligvis mere flygtigt behandlede pga. de vilkår, hvorunder undersøgelserne er foretaget (de er tilrettelagt med offentliggørelse i dagspres- sen for øje, det dagsaktuelle har været betonet, og emnerne er be- grænset til problemkredse, der lader sig beskrive med et mindre antal spørgsmål). Prøvevalgene gennemførtes indtil udgangen af 1971 for dagbladet Aktuelt og fra 1972 for Morgenavisen Jyllands- Posten. Indstillingsundersøgelserne blev udelukkende gennemført for Jyllands-Posten.
        Observa Prøvevalg 1979:
        
        ----------------------
      I 1979 gennemførte Observa i alt 12 prøvevalg. Enslydende spørgs- mål, omhandlende demografiske forhold samt partipræference, er i DDA samlet i undersøgelsen DDA-0992: Observa Prøvevalg 1979, mens de enkelte, fuldstændige prøvevalg, der indeholder forskellige aktuelle spørgsmål, findes som DDA-0993 til DDA-1004.Nærværende undersøgelse (DDA-0998: Observa Prøvevalg 1979, august-undersøgelsen) indeholder oplysninger om:Danmarks økonomiske situation, mulige stramninger, vurdering af forligsmulighederne, udløsning af folketingsvalg; emigration (hvilket land ville respondenten vælge, hvis han/hun og en evt. husstand skulle emigrere); Socialdemokratiets og LOs forslag om økonomisk demokrati, en central fond; tro, religiøs retning; ja keafstemning i dag, affaldsproblemer; mulige præsidentemner (fx K.B. Andersen, Dronning Margrethe, Mærsk McKinney-Møller) ved en afskaffelse af det danske kongedømme; tiltaleformerne du og De.
        Derudover indeholder materialet også de såkaldte stamoplysninger:
        
        Respondentens køn, fødselsår, civilstand og stilling i fami- lien. Bopælens geografiske placering (landsdel og amt) og ur- baniseringsgrad samt boligens art og ejerforhold til boligen. Respondentens uddannelse, beskæftigelsesmæssige status, stil- lingsbetegnelse og medlemskab af faglig organisation. Endelig hvilket parti respondenten stemte på ved det sidste folketings- valg (1977) eller årsager til, at respondenten ikke stemte

The political index polls have been carried out re- gularly in the period (approx. 10 times a year), whereas the at- titudinal surveys have been carried out quarterly in the period 1969 to 1972. The current data collection of similar data mate- rial over a long period of time makes it possible to carry out various kinds of time series analyses, especially as regards party preference.     #Other subjects are usually treated more superficially owing to the conditions under which the surveys are carried out (they are de- signed for publication in daily papers so the main emphasis has been put on topical issues, and only subjects which may be dealt with by means of a limited number of questions are included).     #Until 1971 the political index polls were carried out for the daily paper Aktuelt; from 1972 for the daily paper Morgenavisen Jyllands-Posten. The attitudinal surveys have been carried out exclusively for Jyllands-Posten.     #     #Observa Political Index Polls, 1979:     #------------------------------------     #In 1979 Observa carried out 12 political index polls. All the questions from these surveys are found in DDA-0992: Observa Political Index Polls, 1979. In addition, the individual political index polls, which contain questions on topical issues, are found in DDA-0993 to DDA-1004.     #     #This survey (DDA-0998 Observa Political Index Polls 1979: August) deals with the following topical issues:     #     #Denmark's economic situation, possible retrenchment, assessment of the possibilities of a settlement and the issuing of writs for a general election; emigration (which country would the respondent choose if she/he and her/his spouse were to emigrate); the proposal of the Social Democratic Party and LO (the Danish Trades Union Congress) concerning economic industrial democracy and a central fund; faith, religious affiliation; for or against nuclear power stations in Denmark at a hypothetical referendum today and the nuclear waste disposal problems; possible presidential candidates (e.g. K.B. Andersen, Queen Margrethe, Mærsk McKinney-Møller) in case of abolition of the Danish monarchy; and forms of address (the deferential 'De' versus the familiar 'du').     #     #In addition, the material contains a fixed set of recurring back- ground variables:     #The respondent's sex, year of birth, marital status and position in the household. Geographical location of place of residence (part of the country and county) and degree of urbanization, as well as type and ownership of the dwelling. The respondent's e- ducation, employment status, designation of occupation and trade union membership. Finally, information on which party the respon- dent voted for at the last general election (1977) or reasons why the respondent did not vote
