Description

The dataset contains data gathered from a series of public opinion polls conducted by the Kyiv International Institute of Sociology in the period from 1994 to 2023 on attitudes of the Ukrainian population towards specific ethnic groups.
The core set of ethnic categories included 13 groups: Americans, Africans, Belarusians, Jews, Canadians, Germans, Poles, Roma (Gypsies), Russians, Romanians, Ukrainian-speaking Ukrainians, Russian-speaking Ukrainians, and French. The survey data was also used to compute the xenophobia index, which was calculated as the mean social distance to those 13 ethnic and linguistic-ethnic groups.
All survey waves were conducted with samples representative of the adult population of Ukraine (18 years and older), with an average sample size of about 2000 respondents.
The merged dataset includes 32 polls for the period of 1994-2023 with a total of 60,701 respondents.
The data is available in an SAV format (Ukrainian, English) as well as a converted CSV format (with a codebook).
The Data Documentation (pdf file) also includes a short overview and discussion of survey results.
