| Sumario: | The 2009 Australian Survey of Social Attitudes (AuSSA) is the fourth in a biennial series that studies social attitudes and behaviour of Australian citizens for the Australian and international research community. AuSSA provides cross-sectional data on the social attitudes and behaviour of Australians, repeating a core questionnaire for each cross-section and fielding specific modules relevant to the changing needs of the social research community. AuSSA is Australia's official survey in the International Social Survey Program and regularly includes ISSP modules. AuSSA 2009 uses two survey instruments (Version A and Version B) and includes both the ISSP's Religion III and Social Inequality IV modules. The 2009 Survey includes attitudes and behaviours that are organised into fourteen categories - Religion, Birth Control and Sex Education, Australia's Population, Environment, Crime and Criminal Justice, Religiosity and Spiritual Life, Social Inequality, Old People in Society, Body Image, Elderly Care, Loneliness, Dental Care, Government Services, and Politics and Society. AuSSA 2009 also includes demographic and behavioural categories (Personal Background) that survey: sex, year born, income, education, employment, union membership, languages spoken, birthplace, household composition and religion. There are also questions about the partner of the respondent: employment, highest-level of education and income.
