title: European Election Study, 2004: Great Britain
title: European Election Studies, 1989-

description: This study comprised the Great Britain component of the &lt;i&gt;European Election Survey&lt;/i&gt; (EES) for 2004. It surveyed the voting-age population in England, Wales and Scotland and was fielded immediately following the European Parliament (EP) elections of that year. A separate EES survey for Northern Ireland was also conducted, and is held at the UK Data Archive (UKDA) under SN 5311 &lt;i&gt;European Parliament Elections in Northern Ireland, 2004&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Similar EES surveys were also conducted in all European Union (EU) member states after the 2004 EP elections, as they had been after the EP elections of 1989, 1994 and 1999. A large number of questions in the 2004 surveys were identical to those used in previous years, thus permitting time-series comparisons. Additional information about the wider EES project is available at the &lt;a href="http://www.europeanelectionstudies.net" title="European Election Studies"&gt; European Election Studies&lt;/a&gt; web site. Some data from the 1989, 1994 and 1999 EES are also available from UKDA (see 'Related Studies' section).

title: Assistant Roles and Changing Job Boundaries in the Public Services, 2004-2005

description: This research project examined three assistant roles in different parts of the public services: the teaching assistant in education; the social work assistant in social care and the healthcare assistant in health care. While central to the process of workforce restructuring in the context of public service 'modernisation', it was suggested that the assistant role had, nonetheless, been subject to relative neglect by policymakers and researchers. Such neglect prompted an exploration of the nature and consequences of these roles. In particular, whether they assumed a similar form across the public services, suggesting a common core, or differed within and between sub-sectors, implying some sensitivity to context.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; The research aimed to address two sets of questions. The first revolved around the nature of the assistant role, including entry, performance and management: what kind of people became assistants and how did they enter the role? What tasks did assistants undertake and to what extent did the role challenge traditional job boundaries? How were assistants treated in terms of reward, involvement, training and development? The second set related to the consequences of the role for different stakeholders (assistants, professionals and service users): was this a 'high quality' job for assistants, with stimulating work and career opportunities or a 'poor quality' role picking up routine work, with few prospects? Was the assistant role a chance to unload 'unnecessary' burdens so allowing professionals to concentrate on 'core' activities or did it represent an additional responsibility and a threat to professional identity? For service users, was the assistant seen as a more accessible and less intimidating service provider, or, since not a professional, viewed as a 'second best' option?&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Survey and interview data were collected from two local education authorities (covering five primary schools in each) and six local authority social service departments embracing children and adult services. This mixed methods data collection includes quantitative questionnaire data from the survey, and transcripts from three interviews with teaching assistants.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Further information, including reports, may be found on the Templeton College &lt;a href="http://www.templeton.ox.ac.uk/assistants/" title="Assistant Roles and Changing Job Boundaries in the Public Services"&gt;Assistant Roles and Changing Job Boundaries in the Public Services&lt;/a&gt; web page.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;

title: Scottish Minorities Survey, 2003-2004
title: Multicultural Nationalism: Islamophobia, Anglophobia and Devolution

description: The main aim of this project was to see how well post-devolution Scotland is succeeding in accommodating both nationalism and multiculturalism at the same time. A further and more specific objective was to increase understanding of ethnic minority perspectives on post-devolution Scotland. &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; The study covers minority perspectives on nationalism and multiculturalism in post-devolution Scotland, in particular:&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;their views on the principles of devolution/independence, and on the performance of Holyrood (the location of the Scottish Assembly)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;their perceptions and recent experiences of harassment, their perceptions of change, and the extent to which they attribute this change explicitly to devolution/Holyrood&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;whether they are at ease with living in Scotland, whether they feel more or less at ease now than in the past, and where they see their long-term future&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;to what extent they can personally identify with Scotland and with Scottish national symbols&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;their inhibitions, e.g. whether they feel they can 'speak their mind' about Scotland and things Scottish or have to be careful not to offend the majority&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;The study also includes majority perspectives (in England and in Scotland) on the Muslim minority and (in Scotland only) on the English immigrant minority also. The views of minorities and majorities about each other are also compared. Finally, Scottish elite perspectives have been used to cover these minority/majority relations and other similar divisions in Scottish society, especially the historic sectarian divide. &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; This mixed methods data collection consists of:&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;1,510 original telephone survey interviews with 751 English immigrants and 759 ethnic Pakistanis within Scotland (data for each group held in separate files)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;transcripts of twelve focus group discussions with English immigrants and ethnic Pakistanis within Scotland&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;In-depth interviews were also conducted during the project with 27 members of the Scottish elite, but these are not included in the data collection for reasons of confidentiality. &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; A set of special questions for this project were also fielded in the &lt;i&gt;Scottish Social Attitudes, 2003&lt;/i&gt; (SSA) and &lt;i&gt;British Social Attitudes, 2003&lt;/i&gt; (BSA) studies (held at the UK Data Archive (UKDA) under SNs 5076 and 5235 respectively). Data from these questions have not been included separately here, but users are advised to order SNs 5076 and 5235 in addition to this dataset to obtain the SSA/BSA data.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; A full description of the data and account of the project appears in Hussain, A.M. and Miller, W.L. (2006) &lt;i&gt;Multicultural nationalism: Islamophobia, Anglophobia and devolution&lt;/i&gt;, Oxford: Oxford University Press.

title: Hampshire Residents and Climate Change, 2003
title: Hampshire Residents' Knowledge of, Attitudes towards, and Behaviour in relation to Climate Change

description: The aim of this research was to examine the dimensions and determinants of public understanding of, and response to, climate change in order to inform the design of more effective public communication strategies and workable mitigation policies. Although this study explored a variety of potentially salient influences (age, gender, income, car ownership, education, highest science qualification, newspaper readership, political affiliation, environmental values and concerns) on perceptions and behavioural responses to climate change, two factors given particular attention were experiences of flooding and of the effect of air pollution on health (experiential factors have been largely unaddressed in previous research on public understanding and response to climate change, but their central role in risk perception, learning and behaviour is highlighted in the wider psychology literature). A further point of focus was the effect of terminology ('global warming' versus 'climate change') on survey responses. A split-sample method, using two versions of the questionnaire, was therefore employed to compare responses. Only the data from the 'climate change' version of the questionnaire is included in this data collection.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; This research focused on the South Coast area of England, which is particularly likely to be at risk from sea-level rise, extremes of weather and flooding associated with climate change. This geographical feature of the research is also original. It provides a detailed case study in its own right of a community at significant risk from climate change impacts, but also allows for some comparison with other surveys of public perceptions of climate change and energy use, for example the national &lt;i&gt;Survey of Public Attitudes to Quality of Life and the Environment, 2001&lt;/i&gt; (held at the UK Data Archive (UKDA) under SN 4741) and the &lt;i&gt;UEA-MORI Risk Survey, 2002 (Public Perceptions of Risk, Science and Governance)&lt;/i&gt; (held under SN 4707).&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;

title: Regional Referendum Study, 2004
title: North East, North West, Yorkshire and Humberside Referendum Surveys, 2004

description: This survey centred on the all-postal ballot referendum conducted in 2004, on whether there should be an elected regional assembly in the North East region (the referendum closed on 4 November 2004, with 78% of respondents voting against). The survey also covered the regions of the North West and Yorkshire and Humberside, where similar referendums were delayed indefinitely. &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; The research had four key objectives:&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;to provide an authoritative account of participation in, and the electorate's broader experience of, the referendum&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;to compare and seek to explain attitudes and patterns of participation between and within regions, taking account, where appropriate, of the holding of a parallel referendum on local government structure in current 'two tier' local authority areas&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;to explore voters' understanding and expectations of the role of the proposed regional assemblies and their likely behaviour in elections to those bodies&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;to enable comparisons to be made with previous studies of subnational referendums and elections&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;

title: Services Values Matrix, 2004

description: This research project followed up a previous Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) project (grant number R000223210, data not currently held at the UK Data Archive) that empirically described the world city network in 2000. This later project created a similar set of data for 2004, to describe changes since 2000.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Following the pioneering work of S. Sassen (1991/2001 and 1994), world/global cities were interpreted through their production and consumption of advanced producer services. Sassen's ideas were taken further, using these services to define inter-city relations and consequently a world city network of 'global service centres'. &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; The world city network is modelled as an interlocking network wherein advanced producer service firms 'inter-link' cities through their office networks. Under conditions of contemporary globalisation, the firms' projects for clients will typically involve several offices, bringing in different professional, creative, and geographical knowledge. The model's basic premise is that intra-firm flows of information, knowledge, instruction, plans, advice, personnel, ideas, etc., generated by a given office, are proportional to the size and importance of the office. The latter is termed the 'service value' of a city to a firm in the conduct of its everyday business. Therefore the flow between any pair of offices is the product of their service values. Aggregating such products for large numbers of firms produces estimates of inter-city flows and therefore describes the world city network. &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; This project used measures of the world city network in 2004 to compare to 2000 and thereby derive changes from 2000 to 2004. Such change data based upon a specific process are conspicuous by their absence in the debates about globalisation. Here, a new dynamic geography of contemporary globalisation may be created. By the time of the later project, some of the original firms no longer existed, and there were data compatibility problems, so that for 2004, data are presented for 80 firms. In all other respects the data collection was the same as for 2000.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Further information about the project, including publications, may be found on the ESRC &lt;a href="http://www.esrcsocietytoday/esrcinfocentre/viewawardpage.aspx?awardnumber=R000239478" title="World City Network Formation: Global Connections Audit and Analysis"&gt;World City Network Formation: Global Connections Audit and Analysis&lt;/a&gt; grant award web page.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;

title: Human Capital and Social Position in Britain: Creating a Measure of Wage-Earning Potential from BHPS Data, 1991-2004
title: British Household Panel Survey, 1991-2009
title: BHPS

description: This study developed a continuously-scaled indicator of social position (the 'Essex Score'), which was estimated as individuals' potential wages in the labour market. The Essex Score was designed as a tool to investigate patterns of differentiation in life chances. It was constructed based on individuals' educational qualifications, recent experience in employment and non-employment, and occupational attainment, using data from the first 13 waves of the &lt;i&gt;British Household Panel Survey&lt;/i&gt; (BHPS), which ran from 1991-2009, and also from the associated &lt;i&gt;British Household Panel Survey Combined Work-Life History Data, 1990-2003&lt;/i&gt; study - see the &lt;a href="http://discover.ukdataservice.ac.uk/series/?sn=200005" title="BHPS"&gt;BHPS series&lt;/a&gt; webpage.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
The Essex Score represents those embodied economic resources salient to individuals' participation in the labour market, equivalent to 'human capital' in economic literature, and sometimes indicated by social class categories in sociological research. It has advantages over other social class measures: being based on educational levels and on degrees of present and past attachment to the labour market, as well as on present or previous occupational membership, it covers the entire adult population irrespective of their employment status and employment history. Its continuous-level measurement also allows aggregation of scores from an individual to a household level, as well as the sensitive investigation of the determinants and consequences of changes in social position during the life course.&lt;br&gt;

title: British Household Panel Survey: Waves 1-13, 1991-2004: Teaching Dataset (Time Use, Leisure and Social Memberships)
title: BHPS

description: This BHPS teaching/sampler dataset contains only Wave 1 respondents, and follows them for 13 waves, selecting broadly the same variables at each wave. There are some (fixed) variables which are only included at wave one, and there are a few variables which only appear intermittently, or are introduced later in the panel. The dataset contains a mix of original variables and derived variables. &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; In order to reduce the complexity of the data's structure and to make the data more accessible to inexperienced users, the dataset is in a rectangular format. Users are not required to undertake potentially problematic record/file merges in order to analyse the data longitudinally. &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Variable names are the same as those in the original BHPS dataset such that variables are prefixed A for Wave 1, B for Wave 2, C for Wave 3 and so on. For example, the variable EAGE records the respondent's age at the date of the Wave 5 interview.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; The main BHPS is carried out by the Institute for Social and Economic Research (ISER) at the University of Essex. The main objective of the survey is to further understanding of social and economic change at the individual and household level in Britain, to identify, model and forecast such changes, their causes and consequences in relation to a range of socio-economic variables. The BHPS is designed as a research resource for a wide range of social science disciplines and to support interdisciplinary research in many areas. The unique value of the survey resides in that fact that:&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;it follows the same representative sample of individuals (the panel) over a period of years&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;it is household-based, interviewing every adult member of sampled households&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;it contains sufficient cases for meaningful analysis of certain groups such as the elderly or one parent families&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;it allows for linkage of data both from other surveys and from local area statistics&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;The BHPS was designed as an annual survey of each adult (aged 16+) member of a nationally representative sample of more than 5,000 households, making a total of approximately 10,000 individual interviews. The same individuals are re-interviewed in successive waves and, if they split off from original households, all adult members of their new households are also interviewed. Children are interviewed once they reach the age of 16, and there is also a special survey of 11-15 year old household members from Wave 4. Efficient fieldwork practices, training videos for interviewers and regular contact with the panel members ensures that the sample remains broadly representative of the population as it changes over time.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; For the second edition (November 2011), erroneous syntax used to match files across waves has now been corrected.&lt;br&gt;

title: Public Risk Perceptions, Climate Change and the Reframing of UK Energy Policy in Britain, 2005
title: UEA-MORI Energy Survey, 2005

description: The project consisted of undertaking a comprehensive empirical survey of public opinion towards future energy options for the UK, with a particular emphasis on attitudes towards nuclear power when placed in the context of climate change.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; The survey questionnaire consisted of 4 main sections. The first main section looked at climate change and nuclear power from a broad perspective, comparing these two with a range of other environmental and energy-related issues at different global/local scales. This section also examined attitudes towards various options for generating electricity. The second section specifically considered attitudes towards nuclear power. The third section examined attitudes towards climate change in more detail. Sections two and three contain a number of standardised questions that were aimed to measure general attitudes towards nuclear power and climate change, the perceived risks and benefits of the two issues, as well as questions on ambivalence, attitudinal certainty, and trust in risk regulation. In addition, the two sections contain a number of issue-specific questions. The fourth and final section of the questionnaire looked specifically at attitudes towards the reframing of nuclear power as a solution to climate change. This section contains questions that were designed to compare the risks of climate change with the risks of nuclear power, and attitudes towards different energy futures and options of electricity generation that might help to prevent climate change, using a split-sample technique.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Although there are a range of one-off or tracker surveys and risk perception studies available that have asked about energy generation, nuclear energy, and climate change separately, the value of the current instrument is that it generates a database which allows responses to be compared across all three sets of issues. In addition there is no comparable existing survey which asks, in a comprehensive way, about the reframing question.&lt;br&gt;
