The monograph Values in transition VI presents key findings and methodological issues faced by the researchers from the Slovenian public opinion survey team during the twenty years of comparative research of values in Slovenia, within the framework of international (European and global) research programs. The work presents cross-time results from six measurements of World Values Survey and European Values Study in Slovenia (1992-2011), as well as comparisons of 30 European countries in 1992 and 2008. It provides an insight into a comprehensive and continuous empirical work, carried out in order to bring Slovenian empirical social science on a par with state-of-the art empirical social science in general.

COBISS.SI-ID: 31364957Slovenian Public Opinion (SJM) 2010 is a survey, which was conducted as a partof the European Social Survey 2010 (ESS 2010). ESS is an academically-driven multi-country survey, which has been administered in over 30 countries to date. Its three aims are, firstly - to monitor and interpret changing public attitudes and values within Europe and to investigate how they interact with Europe's changing institutions, secondly - to advance and consolidate improved methods of cross-national survey measurement in Europe and beyond, and thirdly - to develop a series of European social indicators, including attitudinal indicators. Slovenian Public Opinion 2010 is a part of the fifth ESS round, which, besides Slovenia, covers 27, mostly EU countries. Round 5 includes a core module and 2 additional rotating modules on the following topics: Work, Family and Well-being: The Implications of Economic Recession (also fielded in ESS round 2) and Trust in Criminal Justice: A Comparative European Analysis. The survey employs the most rigorous methodologies - it involves strict random probability sampling, a minimum target response rate of 70% and rigorous translation protocols

COBISS.SI-ID: 31913565The book "Values in transition VII" is a document on the inclusion of a longitudinal project Slovenian Public Opinion (SJM) in the International Social Survey Programme (ISSP). It shows descriptive data material between 1991 (when the first ISSP survey was carried out within the SJM) and 2013. The ISSP survey is a research program that takes place every year in countries around the world. Since the first measurement in 1985 to 2013, the researchers have developed 11 thematic modules (e.g.: the role of government, national identity, religion, work orientations, social inequality) that are relevant to various social science disciplines and social practice. Most of the modules (except for the three most recent) was performed at least twice that, in addition to international comparisons, also allows to monitor changes over time. In this respect we can say that the ISSP is an infrastructure longitudinal social science program, which is founded on the principles of comparative social sciences and follows the highest standards of this type of social research. In two introductory discussions (Toš, Hafner-Fink) is given a description how the SJM entered into the ISSP and a detailed presentation of the ISSP program (formation, content modules, methodological principles and standards ...). The material in the book is not intended just for researchers-sociologists, but also for analysts and thinkers in a wide range of social science disciplines, thereby reinforcing the role of the project SJM as empirical social science infrastructure.
