Collection Procedures

The 2012 Jewish Values Survey was conducted by Public Religion Research Institute among a random sample of 1,004 self-identified Jewish adults (ages 18 and older) who are part of the Knowledge Networks' KnowledgePanel. Interviews were conducted online between February 23 and March 5, 2012.

Sampling Procedures

The population of Jewish Americans was determined by using two separate screening questions that were designed to identify the Core Jewish Population, a category with a long history in Jewish demography, consisting of self-identifying Jews by religion (JBR) and persons who consider themselves Jewish (e.g., ethnically or culturally) but who claim no religion (JNR).
