Social, Economic and Political Values Reports
This page provides a link to the various countries reports in the Anatomy of Civil Societies Research Project. At present the project has conducted studies in Australia (2007, 2011), Germany (2011), the UK (2011) and the USA (2011). Each report is based on a proprietary methodology plus publicly available survey scales. The reports are not meant to be a compete and final description of the project but serve as public summaries of aspects of the findings.
The Australian Country Report presents information on Australian’s valuation of 16 categories of social issues and 113 sub-category issues in 2007 and 2011. The report also provides information on donating and volunteering behaviour, religious and political orientation, religious activities, basic demographics and a host of other individual level factors (e.g., altruism and happiness).

The report also provides information on donating and volunteering behaviour, religious and political orientation, religious activities, basic demographics and a host of other individual level factors (e.g., altruism and happiness).

Future reports are expected to be examining many developed and developing countries.

Yes … not a problem at all. Thanks.
Fascinating information, interesting that in times of financial hardship (GFC 2008 occurring between your two surveys) we appear to focus more on ourselves but, thankfully, also consider the wellbeing of others. Thanks for sharing the information I will read in depth with continued interest.
This is a very interesting & excellent research report. Thanks for sharing. I would certainly be very interested to look into Singapore, & even other Asia Pacific countries findings, where the culture, social and political fabrics are quite different from that of Australia & Europe. I look forward to seeing the report; hopefully there is one soon.
dear cynic, 😉
thanks for sharing!
i would be very interested in the german findings. could you please let me know if you have access to that report (and perhaps even on the other two country reports) as well?
thanks very much in advance!

We will launch this in September (or maybe October) so I will hopefully remember to contact you. I suspect the launch will be in Hamburg.
that would be great if you could remember to do so, otherwise i’ll try to remember to drop by again in autumn.
in the meantime, could you perhaps tell me which institution was responsible for the german part of the research?
thanks!
