- ESS Round 8 (34,033 user downloads) was developed and produced over three years under the coordination of ESS HQ (Harrison, co-director). It contains approximately 40,000 cases from 23 countries and 534 variables. Documented in a 190-page report, Round 8 covered 11 topics. Using strict random probability sampling and hour-long face-to-face interviews, it included core and rotating modules on public attitudes to climate change, energy preferences and welfare attitudes. ESS HQ organised the call for and selection of rotating modules, a lengthy period of question design, development, pre-testing and administration in the field, data cleaning, deposit and release.
