The Korean General Social Survey (KGSS), through an annual national sample survey, aims to provide basic social science data made readily available for comprehensive use in the study of Korean social structure and its changes as well as international comparative studies. The KGSS was formulated after the General Social Survey (GSS) model of the National Opinion research Center (NORC) at the University of Chicago, with the partial inclusions of contents from GSS models used in European and East Asian countries and accommodating the distinctive particularities of Korean society. This survey is made up of the replicating core, the annual topic modules of the International Social Survey Programme (ISSP) member states’ collaborative survey, topic modules of the East Asian Social Survey (EASS) the biannual collaborative survey of four member states: Korea, China, Japan, and Thailand, as well as topic modules for special research.
