New Baltic Barometer IV, 2000

<P>Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.</P>The <i>New Baltic Barometer</i> (NBB) was launched in 1993 to reflect opinions in three multi-ethnic societies, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, incorporated into the Soviet Union as a consequence of the Second World War. There were six NBB surveys conducted from 1993 to 2004, with many questions repeated to show trends. From 2001, the NBB was merged with the <i>New Democracies Barometer</i> to form <i>New Europe Barometer</i> (available from the UK Data Archive under GN 33355). Therefore the last two NBB surveys are available under SN 5242 and SN 5243 which are part of the New Europe Barometer series.<br>
<br>
Whereas political rhetoric often describes all people of a given nationality as thinking alike, election results show differences of opinion. The NBB documents differences within every nationality in the region along lines of age, education, economic circumstances and gender. Differences within each nationality may be paralleled by similarities between nationalities. Comparisons with the Russians in Russia can be made through the <i>New Russia Barometer</i> (available at the Archive under GN 33374) survey.<br>

The survey asks representative samples of each nationality similar sets of questions about their multiple identities, language use, political attitudes, economic behaviour and social structural conditions.

<P><i>《新波罗的海晴雨表》（New Baltic Barometer，简称NBB）</i>于1993年启动，旨在反映二战后被并入苏联的爱沙尼亚、拉脱维亚、立陶宛这三个多民族社会的民众意见。1993年至2004年间共开展6次NBB调研，多数问题重复设置以追踪民意变化趋势。自2001年起，NBB与<i>《新民主国家晴雨表》（New Democracies Barometer）</i>合并为<i>《新欧洲晴雨表》（New Europe Barometer）</i>，该数据集可通过英国数据档案馆（UK Data Archive）以编号GN 33355获取。因此，最后两次NBB调研的数据以SN 5242与SN 5243的编号收录，属于《新欧洲晴雨表》系列数据集。</P>
<P>尽管政治话语常将特定国籍的民众描述为观点高度统一，但选举结果却彰显出显著的意见分歧。NBB调研记录了该区域内各民族群体在年龄、教育程度、经济状况与性别维度上的意见差异；而不同民族群体之间亦可能存在共性特征。可通过<i>《新俄罗斯晴雨表》（New Russia Barometer）</i>调研数据（可在英国数据档案馆以编号GN 33374获取），与俄罗斯境内的俄罗斯族民众开展对比分析。</P>
