Sampling procedure: Intentional, attempting to capture the diversity of the population in Slovakia in terms of gender, type of employment, age, and religious affiliation. The research was carried out through in-person interviews by approximately 200 external interviewers of the institute, most of whom worked as educational and cultural officers in Slovakia. The interviewers were trained in the research procedure in writing and through informational brochures. They received the questionnaires by mail together with instructions on what kinds of respondents they should seek out in their area. The completed questionnaires were then mailed back by the interviewers. Respondents of Hungarian nationality were not included in the research.

Abstract: This study is the fourth conducted by the Institute for Public Opinion Research in Bratislava, which served as a department of the Information Commission from 1947 to 1950. The study covers a wide range of topics: public nutrition, supply chains, farmers, national committees, Jews, and churches. SASD provides a reconstruction of the survey results, compiled based on final reports submitted to state authorities and the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Slovakia (ÚV KSS). Neither the data nor the original questionnaire are available; SASD provides a reconstruction of the questions used in the questionnaire, and the basic survey results are available online in an Excel file. The research was conducted using a purposive sample selection to correspond as closely as possible to the estimated structure of the population of Slovak society at that time. Since this was the postwar period and the last nationwide census was in 1930, with the next one not until 1950, it was not possible to use quota sampling. However, the nature of the sample suggests that the sample selection corresponded in several respects to the structure of Slovak society at the time of the survey, which was closest to the 1950 census.
