| Annotation | The first national survey of kinship and friendship in Britain was carried out in 1986 by British Social Attitudes (BSA) as part of the International Social Survey Programme. This paper summarises the results of a 1995 survey, published in British social attitudes: the 13th report (Dartmouth, 1996), which replicated the core questions of the 1986 survey. Further attitudinal questions have been added to find more information about the role of, and attitudes towards, kin outside the nuclear family. This summary looks at family centredness, keeping in touch with relatives, change over the period 1986 to 1995, and giving and receiving help. Responses have not changed markedly since 1986, other than in the role of friends, who are now more increasingly likely to be relied for emotional support. (RH). |
