The General Authority for Statistics has rolled out a dedicated survey to evaluate how Saudi citizens incorporate principles and values into their daily lives and interactions. According to the authority’s official documentation, the project specifically examines adherence to concepts including positivity and moderation while gauging levels of pride in the Kingdom’s heritage, the Arabic language, religion and national homeland. Data gathering relies on field visits with self-completion questionnaires to maintain accuracy and respondent comfort. The General Authority for Statistics, established as the Kingdom’s sole official statistical reference since 2015, oversees all such work to international professional standards.
GASTAT’s announcement on professional platforms including LinkedIn directed participants to its dedicated survey page, underscoring the initiative’s role in producing reliable social indicators. The authority’s methodology specifies that collection occurs solely through in-person visits rather than remote methods, with a privacy notice guaranteeing that all information serves statistical purposes exclusively. Previous GASTAT social surveys have followed similar rigorous protocols, as detailed in the authority’s published methodology reports.
This survey builds upon the authority’s existing portfolio of household studies that track cultural and social patterns across Saudi regions. GASTAT figures from its annual household culture and entertainment survey, updated as recently as 2025, cover residents aged 15 and older across all 13 administrative areas and have informed national policy development. The new values project employs comparable sampling techniques to ensure representative coverage of Saudi nationals.
Field teams authorized by the authority will approach selected households with electronic forms designed to capture nuanced responses on daily behaviors. The General Authority for Statistics maintains a dedicated statistical hotline at 920020081 for any public inquiries related to participation or procedures. Its overarching mission centers on delivering precise, high-quality data spanning social, economic and environmental dimensions to support decision-makers and researchers nationwide.
The authority’s workforce of more than 500 specialists coordinates such efforts to align with broader national statistical needs. According to GASTAT’s published descriptions, the survey contributes to a comprehensive statistical framework that has expanded significantly in scope over the past decade. Results are expected to provide updated benchmarks on societal indicators without compromising the strict confidentiality standards enforced across all authority operations.
Participation remains voluntary under the authority’s guidelines, with emphasis placed on the survey’s contribution to understanding contemporary Saudi social dynamics. The General Authority for Statistics has conducted parallel studies on volunteer work and household energy use, each following established data protection protocols outlined on its website. These collective outputs form part of an ongoing series that tracks evolving national characteristics.
