Abstract (CPANDA): The State of the First Amendment survey, conducted annually (since 1997, except for 1998) for the First Amendment Center by the Center for Survey Research and Analysis at the University of Connecticut, examines public attitudes toward freedom of speech, press, religion and the rights of assembly and petition. Core questions, asked each year, include awareness of First Amendment freedoms, overall assessments of whether there is too much or too little freedom of speech, press, and religion in the U.S., levels of tolerance for various types of public expression (such as flag-burning and singing songs with potentially offensive lyrics), levels of tolerance for various journalistic behaviors, attitudes toward prayer in schools, and level of support for amending the Constitution to prohibit flag-burning or defacement. Additional (non-core) questions asked in the 2002 survey include attitudes toward media coverage of the "war on terrorism," whether the government has the right to monitor the activities of religious groups even if it means infringing upon religious freedoms, and levels of support for public access to various types of local government records.

Study Description -- Methodology

Data Collector: Center for Survey Research and Analysis, University of Connecticut

Sampling Procedure:The national sample used for this research project included residential telephone numbers in the 48 contiguous states. The sample was stratified to insure that broad geographic regions were represented in proportion to their share of the total adult population in the United States. Within each of these regions, telephone numbers were generated through a random-digit-dial telephone methodology to ensure that each possible residential telephone number had an equal probability of selection. Telephone banks that contain no known residential telephone numbers were removed from the sample selection process. Once selected, each telephone number was contacted a minimum of four times to attempt to reach an eligible respondent. Households where a viable contact was made were called additional times. Within each household one adult was randomly selected to complete the interview. The sampling error for 1,000 national interviews is plus or minus 3% at the 95% level of confidence. This means that there is less than one chance in 20 that the results of a survey of these respective sizes would differ by more than 3% in either direction from the results which would be obtained if all adults in the appropriate area had been selected. The sample error is larger for sub-groups. CSRA also attempted to minimize other possible sources of error in this survey.

Mode of Data Collection: computer-aided telephone interviews (CATI)

Type of Research Instrument: structured

Estimates of Sampling Error: Sampling error for a sample of this size is plus or minus 3% at the 95% level of confidence.

Methodology (CPANDA) : The Center for Survey Research and Analysis at the University of Connecticut conducted a total of 1,000 telephone interviews with a random national sample of adults ages 18 and over, between June 12 and July 5, 2002.
