Discusses the Scottish Attitudes Surveys, annual surveys running in parallel to the British Social Attitudes Surveys. The methodology is described, before focusing on the kinds of analysis that have been conducted using the surveys on the basis of some of the key findings. At issue is the utility of the surveys for comparative & time-series purposes. References. J. Zendejas

We study the long-run effects of con ict on social attitudes, with World War II in Central and Eastern Europe as our setting. Much of earlier work has relied on self- reported measures of victimization, which are prone to endogenous misreporting. With our own survey-based measure, we replicate established findings linking victimization to political participation, civic engagement, optimism, and trust. Those findings are reversed, however, when tested instead with an objective measure of victimization based on historical reference material. Thus, we urge caution when interpreting survey- based results from this literature as causal.
