Content: Assessment of distributive justice with regard to economic conditions in Germany; development of social justice in the last ten years; reasons for this assessment; assessment of distributive justice with regard to own participation compared to others; social justice most likely through stronger vs. less strong state intervention; importance of different areas of social justice (intergenerational justice, performance justice, opportunity justice, family justice, distributive justice and needs justice); realization of these areas of social justice; Split A: Perception of justice with regard to: similarly high retirement provision for all regardless of occupation vs. strong differences depending on the individual´s pension provision, tax advantages for parents compared to childless people vs. no advantages for parents, earnings according to performance vs. no major differences in income (end of split A); split B: perception of justice in relation to earlier retirement for people in physically demanding occupations vs. the same retirement age for all, unconditional basic income for all vs. state support only for the unemployed, as much state support for immigrants as for Germans in need vs. greater support for Germans in need (end of split B).
Welfare state: opinion on the need to reform the social security system in Germany; demand for an expansion of social security; particularly important tasks of the welfare state (e.g. securing pensions, ensuring adequate healthcare, combating the misuse of social benefits, etc.); trust in the social security systems (protection in the event of illness, protection in the event of unemployment and statutory pension); social groups that receive too little support in the welfare system (e.g. people in need of care, low earners, pensioners, single parents, sick people, children from low-income families, etc.) or groups that are overprovided for; assessment of personal benefits from the welfare state; preference for higher taxes and more comprehensive protection vs. less taxes and less protection; policy ensures more equality between the poorer and richer vs. policy increases social differences; perception of various reforms of the welfare state that have already been adopted or are still planned (e.g. introduction of the citizen´s income/abolition of Hartz IV, increase in unemployment benefit, etc.); reforms of the federal government in the area of the welfare state lead to more social justice vs. less social justice; reasons for this assessment; measures that contribute to more social justice in Germany and measures that tend to lead to less justice.

Content: Concerns about inflation: Strength of the burden of general price increases.
Block A - Social environment, values, uncertainties: Values (central contents of life: to be as free and independent as possible, to be politically or socially active, to be financially secure, to have good relationships with other people, to enjoy life, to live in an environmentally conscious way, to have children, to be there for others, to help others, to have a nice and cosy home, to have a fulfilling job or occupation, to live healthily); agreement with statements on the topic of work and working life (one´s own work often brings one to the limits of one´s physical or mental resilience, confidence with regard to professional advancement in the foreseeable future, work gives the feeling of being needed, fear of losing one´s job, lack of labour in Germany opens up new career opportunities); membership in a political party, trade union, citizens´ initiative or non-governmental organisation; type of voluntary activities (in an aid organisation (e.g. food banks, refugee aid), in the church or a religious community, in a club, in social or youth work, in rescue or medical services (e.g. volunteer fire brigade, DLRG); agreement with statements about own living environment (Changes in society frighten me, I feel left alone by the state, I have good friends who support me, I am flexible enough to be able to adjust to difficult situations, I can largely determine my own life, in financial emergencies I can rely on the financial support of my parents/siblings or other relatives, I feel that life is a constant struggle, I feel marginalised, within my means I support my friends and family when necessary).
Block B - Future perspectives: Confidence vs. worries with regard to the personal future in the following areas: financial situation, housing situation, health, old-age provision and career prospects; assessment of the future prospects of own children.
Block C - Financial situation: Change in financial situation in recent years; perceived burden of current price increases in various areas (petrol, buying food, costs for craftsmen, heating, electricity, costs for public transport, going to restaurants, going to events, leisure activities, buying clothes, costs for hobbies, costs for holidays, travel, hotels, rental costs); changes in everyday behaviour due to increased prices (I drive less, I heat more cautiously, I set the temperature at home lower than usual, I pay more attention to the price when shopping, I only buy food and everyday products that I really need, I buy more expensive products more on instalments, I make sure to use less hot water, I do without certain leisure activities, I make sure to save electricity, I now use public transport more often, I have postponed larger purchases for the time being, I do without holiday trips, I have cancelled memberships and subscriptions, I meet fewer people than before because joint activities are often associated with additional costs); characterisation of the household´s financial situation (my household can usually still put some money aside at the end of the month, my household cannot put any money aside at the end of the month but the money is enough to cover running costs, my household currently has to fall back on savings to cover running costs, my household is helping itself with credit in the current crisis (consumer credit, instalment credit, overdraft facility/overdraft); claiming state benefits by persons in their own household (parental allowance, child benefit, advance maintenance payments, reductions via a social or family pass, unemployment benefit, citizen´s allowance, housing benefit/ housing benefit plus, certificate of entitlement to social housing, training assistance/ BAföG); reasons for not claiming the above-mentioned state benefits (because there is no entitlement to the benefit, because I do not know whether there is an entitlement or not, because I do not know who to turn to, because it is inconvenient for me to apply for such benefits); forms of personal financial old-age provision (entitlements from statutory pension insurance/civil servant pension, entitlements from a company pension scheme, entitlements from a private pension scheme, individual provision, home ownership or building society savings contract, none of the above); changes to pension provision due to the high cost of living (already cancelled corresponding contracts, let corresponding contracts rest temporarily, provide less or have reduced corresponding benefits, have thought about changing something, do not currently intend to change something).
Block D - Expectations of politics and the welfare state: Opinion on state support due to the current price increases (support measures for all citizens, regardless of individual income, state aid only for those with low income and few financial resources, everyone has to see for themselves how they get through the crisis); awareness of state measures and support offers by the federal government (gas and electricity price brake, takeover of the December discount for gas and district heating, reduction of VAT for gas and district heating from19% to 7%, one-time 300 euro subsidy on energy prices per person, one-time payment for the unemployed and people on basic security benefits, one-time payment of 200 euro for students, students on technical courses, increase in child benefit, Housing Benefit Plus: more households are eligible and housing benefit is increased, increase in commuter allowance to 38 cents from the 21st kilometre. introduction of a nationwide 49 euro ticket for local transport from May 2023, raising the midi-job limit to 2,000 euros, additional heating allowance for people with low incomes, tax relief on income tax, pension contributions can be fully deducted from tax, tax relief on both home office allowances, enabling a tax-free special payment of up to 3,000 euros by companies to their employees (inflation compensation premium); assessment of the above-mentioned government measures as helpful; being informed about government support measures (I actively inform myself, i.e. I specifically look for information about this, I rather get information about government support measures by chance e.g. via my normal media consumption, neither, both); being informed about government relief measures; assessment of government relief measures (sufficient, go too far or do not go far enough); strength of support for one´s own household in the last twelve months inflation; need for further relief measures for one´s own household; additional desired measures to mitigate price increases (open); attitude towards social equalisation (no more incentive to work in Germany because in many jobs one hardly earns more than the unemployed, people with an income over 100. 000 should pay more taxes, people with assets over 2 million euros should pay more taxes, unemployed Germans should get more support than refugees); assessment of various aspects of the new citizen´s income (raising the standard rate to 502 euros for a single adult, assets up to 40,000 euros are not touched in the first year of receipt, in the first year of receipt the actual housing costs are taken over regardless of the amount, higher allowances so that one can earn more on top, better support for vocational training of low-skilled workers, reduction of benefits up to a maximum of 30 % for recipients who do not comply with job centre requirements, recipients should no longer have to accept jobs for which they are overqualified, but should instead be able to undertake additional training); assessment of the amount of the citizen´s income (too high, appropriate, too low).
Demography: sex; age; age groups; federal state; education; household size; household composition; net household income (threshold); employment; housing situation (for rent/own flat, own house); location size; party sympathies, migration background.
Additionally coded were: serial number; total membership; total honorary office; weighting factor.

Date(s) of Data Collection: 11.09.2023 - 13.09.2023
Geographic coverage: Germany (DE)
Universe: German speaking persons aged 14 and over with a landline or mobile phone connection
Number of Units: 1506
Sampling Procedure: • Probability: Multistage;
When selecting respondents for the forsa multi-topic survey (Politik-BUS), both landline and mobile phone numbers are included. The sample is therefore formed on the basis of a combined landline and mobile phone sample (so-called ADM dual-frame design) in a ratio of 30 (mobile) : 70 (landline).
Participants with a landline are selected using a multi-stratified, multi-stage random sample based on the ADM telephone sampling system. The selection basis is the so-called ADM telephone master sample. If a household with a landline is selected on the basis of the ADM telephone master sample, the person to be interviewed within the household is selected in the second stage of the selection process. If it is a one-person household, the respondent is already clearly identified. If several people from the population live in the household, the interviewer determines the person to be interviewed using the so-called birthday method.
