Abstract

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.
The questionnaire is made up of the replicating core questions, the annual topical modules of the International Social Survey Programme (ISSP) member states’ collaborative survey, topical modules of the East Asian Social Survey (EASS) the biannual collaborative survey of four member states including Korea, China, Japan, and Taiwan, as well as topical modules for special research. This survey is the fifth annual KGSS following the previous surveys of 2003, 2004, 2005, and 2006. It includes the replicating core questions, the 2007 ISSP topical module Leisure and Sports, and the special topical module Cultural Industry and Consumption.
