I would love for this analysis to be repeated for core EAs (high self-reported engagement and/or EA Forum membership). E.g., I’d be really curious to see how demographically diverse core EAs are.
can you clarify the definitions of the “moral views”? i sometimes find it unclear exactly what these moral philosophies mean, so a standard definition would help my interpretation, if you don’t mind providing what you all usually go by. thanks kindly
Hi, The categories of moral views presented in the graph and table were a pre-set list of those 4 answer choices. We wouldn’t want to speak to how survey respondents defined these for themselves when making a selection among these options. This EA concepts page might be a relevant source for further reading: https://concepts.effectivealtruism.org/concepts/moral-theories/
If I remember correctly, the 2019 survey asked about utilitarians’ identification as classical vs. negative utilitarian, plus some other distinctions. Will those results be included in a future post? I’m very curious to see them.
Thanks a lot for this, I found the post very informative and look forward to the next one.
One note: I would have found a more extensive list of countries in the geography section useful.
Hi, Glad to hear you found it informative. Thanks! We have an entire post dedicated to the geographic distribution of EAs in this year’s survey forthcoming, along the same lines as last year’s: https://forum.effectivealtruism.org/posts/t2Wqszc4wpKxMinSs/ea-survey-2018-series-geographic-differences-in-ea-1
I find myself navigating to this page a lot recently, thanks for publishing!
Quick UX request: could you update this post with links to subsequent posts in the series? I’m often hunting around trying to find various pieces of data, and would find that super helpful for user navigation, rather than searching on the title.
Glad to hear that it is a useful resource!
I have updated the summary to include links to all the posts in the series so far (a pingbacks list will also appear at the bottom of the post if one opts into the experimental features on the Forum). The entire list of articles in the EA Survey 2019 Series (plus our other publications) can also be found on our website.
Thanks for doing this! Quick question: Are the survey questions still available somewhere?
