Sisällön kuvaus

The survey, conducted by the weekly supplement NYT of the daily newspaper Helsingin Sanomat in the spring 2001, studied moral behaviour in Finland and citizens' attitudes to right and wrong in different everyday situations. The survey carried a set of attitudinal statements pertaining to lying, stealing from home, from work or elsewhere, shoplifting, infidelity, fishing without paying the fishing licence, traffic behaviour etc. The morality of the respondents was also charted by asking about tax evasion and insurance fraud. Background variables included respondents' age, sex, occupation, annual gross income and which party the respondent had voted for in the previous parliamentary elections.

The data are not representative of Finland's population. The subject matter of the survey interested women in particular, since more than three out of four respondents were women. In addition, most respondents were young people, the majority under 30 years of age.

Aineiston käytössä huomioitavaa

Because of technical problems at the time of the data collection, no data are available for two variables and, consequently, these variables are not included in the data set (1. Can one say to one's partner that a mate invited for a beer when invited himself? and 2. If you find a wallet on the street, will you take it to the lost property office?).

Letters sent by readers in connection with the survey and the responses of those who filled in a paper questionnaire are not included in the data. The survey contained several open-ended questions, the responses to which have not been categorised for statistic analysis. Some of the responses to the open-ended questions have been modelled into qualitative data. With Internet surveys it is impossible to control whether anyone responds to the survey more than once.

Painokertoimet
