ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
ScotCen is very grateful to the various organisations who have contributed to funding the Scottish Social Attitudes Survey over the last decade - particularly the Economic and Social Research Council, the Leverhulme Trust, the Nuffield Foundation and the Scottish Government's Office of the Chief Researcher.
We would also like to thank everyone involved in the preparation of this report -particularly Paul Bennett and colleagues at the Scottish Government who provided feedback on early drafts.
Thanks are also due to our colleagues in NatCen's operations and computing departments (particularly Neil Barton, Trevor Hayden and Carol Bell in the Pink Team and Sandra Beeson in Project computing), to Ann Mair at the Social Statistics Laboratory at Strathclyde University, and to our team of interviewers and supervisors.
Finally, thanks to all those respondents who gave up their free time to take part in the survey.
Responsibility for the opinions expressed in this report, and for all interpretation of the data, lies solely with the authors.
