Each keyword leads to the study profile of the relevant Eurobarometer survey(s) for direct access to all available documentation (study description, codebook, basic bilingual and country specific field questionnaires, data access) and related primary publications (reports).
Whenever possible, subject terms have been adopted in accordance with the UK Data Archive's HASSET thesaurus or the ICPSR subject thesaurus depending on adequacy.
Please notice that the keywords in the subject tree only refer to distinct special topical modules in the Eurobarometer series. Stand alone questions or standard EU topics are not considered. The appearance of several surveys under the same topic does not necessarily imply that identical or equivalent questions have been asked. If needed, the hierarchical structure of the subject tree has been adapted for user friendly display.
The main subject categories for the classification of the FLASH Eurobarometer are documented separately.
Eurobarometer have repeatedly focussed on discrimination against racial or ethnic origin, religion or belief, disability, age or sexual orientation and sex. While perspectives partly changed, a few measures for awareness and experience of discrimination or attitudes towards out-groups have been repeated over time. Recently this special topic was surveyed in the context of Eurobarometer 83.4 (2015).
One of the special topics investigated across the Eurobarometer series regards the international aid to development (Eurobarometer by keyword: Please select "POLITICS: International relations - Development aid /_developing countries"), starting already with EB 20 (1983). An exemplary research article on attitudes towards development aid is based on EB 71.2 (2009).
