Summary

This survey explores the sociopolitical and cultural attitudes of young Egyptians and Saudis. The survey focuses primarily on: (1) the sources of epistemic authorities that youths rely in forming opinions about various social and cultural issues and deciding their careers; (2) the extent to which youth are aware of development ideas; (3) youth's orientations toward such issues as the relationship between religion and politics, form of government, Western culture, and social status of women, and; (4) youth's religiosity and attitudes toward religion.
