Challenging Racism Project National Dataset
  • Description

    Challenging Racism Project National Dataset contains 43 surveys items including questions assessing racial attitudes, social distance items (level of concern if a close friend or family member married a person of specific background), experiences of racism, frequency of interethnic mixing, demographic questions, and geographical identifiers. The 12512 surveys were conducted via a telephone by the Social Research Centre and the Hunter Valley Research Foundation's call centre on behalf of the project. Queensland and NSW data were collected in 2001, Victoria in 2006, South Australia and Australian Capital Territory in 2007, and Northern Territory, Tasmania and Perth in 2008. Survey respondents were not identifiable, beyond demographic characteristics collected. The data were analysed by using SPSS.
