the European Social Survey
The European Social Survey (ESS) is a research project that regularly collects data on people's attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors across European countries. It aims to understand social, political, and cultural trends by surveying a representative sample of citizens. The ESS helps policymakers, researchers, and the public gain insights into issues like trust, values, well-being, and social attitudes, fostering informed decision-making and social understanding throughout Europe. It emphasizes standardized methodology to ensure data comparability across nations over time.
