Young People's Social Attitudes Survey
The Young People’s Social Attitudes
(YPSA) survey is conducted by the National Centre for Social Research as part
of the British Social Attitudes Survey. The YPSA survey began in 1994 and was
conceived and designed in collaboration with Barnardos. Around 600 twelve to
nineteen year olds who lived in the households of British Social Attitudes (BSA)
respondents were interviewed. The study was carried out for the second time
on the 1998 British Social Attitudes survey as a multi-funded project, independent
of Barnardos.
About half of the questions asked in the YPSA are identical
to those asked of adults, allowing comparisons not only across generations but
also between parents and children in the same household.
