Pluralism Perceptions Survey
The Pluralism Perceptions Survey generates original data on public levels of intergroup trust and belonging.
The Global Centre for Pluralism developed the Pluralism Perceptions Survey to generate original data on public levels of intergroup trust and belonging. The survey’s design explores the perceptions of respondents about other groups and the state with the understanding that interactions across groups and with the state can strengthen or weaken pluralism. This is done to ensure consistency and comparability across country contexts. Assessors are provided the results of these surveys to inform completion of the assessment framework.
Pluralism Perceptions Surveys are representative of the population at the national level, meaning that the population of interest is the entire population of a country. Wherever possible, the surveys represent a stratified sample of diversity groups included in the Monitor assessment of a particular country. When a stratified sample size of each group is not possible, we prioritize the national level sample to maintain analytical consistency throughout the Monitor. All participants in the survey are 18 years and above of age.
These are the categories of questions in the survey:
Demographic
Learn who our respondents are.
Religion and Ethnicity
These questions help us understand whether respondents are considered national minorities.
Politics and Public Trust
These questions help us understand if participants feel trust in or represented by their current political system.
Experiences of Discrimination
These questions seek to understand discrimination in the country study.
Belonging and Acceptance
These questions explore what belonging to society means.
Intergroup Trust
These questions help us understand intergroup relations and belonging.
Active Citizenship
These questions reflect whether respondents play a role in civic life.
