Abstract

MOSAiCH is an annual cross-sectional survey that focuses on the Swiss population’s values and attitudes towards a wide range of social issues. The thematic focus of the 2024 edition lies on Digital Societies, defined by the 2024 module of the International Social Survey Program (ISSP) which is a completely new module (http://www.issp.org). This international part is supplemented by selected sociodemographic questions, as well as a module composed of questions specific to Switzerland. The questions of this Swiss part are selected through a public call, either expanding the ISSP module thematically or measuring other dimensions that are of special interest to Switzerland. Topics: - Digital Societies (ISSP 2024), including international optional questions. - Sociodemographics (education, work, income, household composition, nationality, religion, etc.) - Questions from 7 different proposals from the call on: 1) Online and Digital Ostracism 2) Measuring Adaptability and Willingness to Use the Internet and Apps for Self-Change Efforts 3) Digitalization and Loneliness 4) The Measurement of Risk Attitudes: Comparing a single-item question to multiple-item scales 5) Communication behaviors and processes in the digital age: towards some political and social cleavages? 6) Demand‐side politics of government regulation of foreign social media apps 7) Digital trust and data privacy concerns as sources of resistance to digital data collection
