        -------------------------------
      
        Observa har fra 1967 gennemført undersøgelser af holdninger
        
        og livsvaner, dels gennem såkaldte prøvevalg (postale valg-
        
        panelsundersøgelser) 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.
      I 1984 gennemførte Observa i alt 12 prøvevalg. Alle spørgsmål herfra er samlet i undersøgelsen DDA-1052: Observa Prøvevalg 1984. Derudover findes de enkelte prøvevalg som DDA-1053 - DDA-1064.
        Nærværende undersøgelse (DDA-1057: Observa Prøvevalg 1984,
        
        april-undersøgelsen) indeholder oplysninger om:
      Socialdemokratiets ændrede holdning til sikkerhedspolitikken; folkeafstemning om indførelse af atomkraft; Danmarks medlemskab af EF; massemediernes troværdighed og deres indflydelse på samfundsudviklingen; ulykker, vold og kriminalitet; sammen- ligning mellem kommune- og privatskoler; partipræference.
        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 de to sidste folketings- valg (1981 og 1984) eller årsager til, at respondenten ikke stemte
description: #Observa opinion polls:     #----------------------     #     #From 1967 and onwards Observa has carried out a number of opinion polls, i.e. surveys of attitudes and habits of life, partly through so-called political index polls (postal panel surveys) and partly through more extensive attitudinal surveys based on interviews. 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, 1984:     #------------------------------------     #In 1984 Observa carried out 12 political index polls. All the questions are included in DDA-1052: Observa Political Index Polls, 1984. In addition, the individual political index polls are found in DDA-1053 to DDA-1064.     #     #This survey (DDA-1057 Observa Political Index Polls 1984: April) deals with the following issues:     #     #The changed attitude of the Social Democratic Party to defence policy; for or against nuclear power stations in Denmark at a hypothetical referendum today; attitude to the Danish membership of the EC; for or against Danish membership of the EC at a hypothetical referendum today; the reliability of the mass media and the influence of these media on the development in Denmark; accidents, violence and crime; and a comparison between council schools and private schools.     #     #In addition, the material includes a number 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 two general elections (1981 and 1984) or reasons why the respondent did not vote
