Dataset Download Instructions

Welcome to the Pew Global Attitudes Project data archive. This page contains links to the Project's survey data which are currently available on the web. Survey data are released after all reporting is completed and are posted on the web as quickly as possible.

We are pleased to provide our raw data to scholars for their own research. We hope it will be useful in furthering our collective understanding about public opinion today. The Project's staff is available to answer questions and to provide limited assistance in importing and analyzing the data. But we strongly recommend that only experienced analysts who are familiar with large SPSS data files attempt to download these datasets.

Datasets are identified by report title, the survey name on the questionnaire accompanying each report, and report release date. To learn more about the survey and the sample used for each dataset, consult the individual reports at pewglobal.org/reports.

Pew Global Attitudes Project data are stored as SPSS .sav files. A complete questionnaire file is also included, as is a codebook file that provides additional details.

All data files include a weight variable that should be used in analysis.

The dataset, questionnaire and codebook are all included in a single compressed archive file (.zip file) that may be downloaded and saved on your computer. Software for decompressing archive files is available at download.com and on many freeware/shareware sites on the web.

All manuscripts, articles, books, and other papers and publications using Project data should reference the Pew Global Attitudes Project as the source of the data, and should acknowledge that the Project bears no responsibility for the interpretations presented or conclusions reached based on analysis of the data.

Questions concerning the datasets may be directed to the Pew Global Attitudes Project at .
