The surveys also examined people's experiences of inter-racial contact in terms of both its frequency and its quality and were designed to explore the relationship between such contact and various kinds of political attitudes. Survey One sampled black, coloured, Indian and white South Africans. Survey Two sampled white and black South Africans. Both surveys employed a computer assisted, random digit dialling methodology to recruit respondents.<br> <br> Further information is available from the <a href="http://www.esrcsocietytoday.ac.uk/esrcinfocentre/viewawardpage.aspx?awardnumber=RES-000-22-1750" title ="ESRC Award">ESRC Award</a> web page.<br></h5><h3>Main Topics:</h3><h5>Survey One focused on attitudes towards a variety of policies designed to achieve racial equality in post-apartheid South Africa. It also explored racial attitudes and other variables such as stratification beliefs. Survey Two focused on perceptions of racial discrimination and justice, and included measures of racial prejudice and racial contact.<br> <br> <i>Standard measures:</i><br> <br> Racial stereotyping<br> Perceptions of injustice measured using Cantrill Ladder technique (both on Survey Two)</h5> <h3>Coverage: </h3><h5> <br><i class='myclass'>Dates of Fieldwork: </i> Survey One: February to April, 2006 Survey Two: March to July, 2007 <br><i class='myclass'>Country: </i> South Africa <br><i class='myclass'>Spatial Units: </i> Provincial Region <br><i class='myclass'>Observation Units: </i> Individuals <br><i class='myclass'>Kind of Data: </i> Numeric data; Individual (micro) level </h5> <h3>Universe Sampled: </h3><h5> <i class='myclass'>Location of Units of Observation:</i> National <br><i class='myclass'>Population:</i> Adults (over 18 years old) living in South Africa, 2006-2007 </h5> <h3>Methodology: </h3><h5> <i class='myclass'>Time Dimensions: </i> Cross-sectional (one-time) study <br><i class='myclass'>Sampling Procedures: </i> Sampling was a variation on simple random sampling.
