Sisällön kuvaus

The survey studied citizen participation, attitudes towards participation, and political and social influence in Finland. Opinions were charted on what is required of a good citizen (e.g. always vote, never evade taxes, help the less fortunate), and whether religious extremists, groups that want to violently overthrow the government, and people prejudiced against some racial or ethnic group should be allowed to hold public meetings. The respondents were asked which forms of civic participation they had or would be willing to engage in (e.g. participate in a demonstration, contact a politician or government official to voice an opinion), how often they used the media to follow news on politics, and how many people they interacted with in a day.

Membership and activity in different kinds of groups or associations (e.g. political party, church, voluntary association) were investigated as well as the importance of various rights of citizens (e.g. sufficient standard of living for all citizens, increased opportunities to participate in public decision-making, the right to abstain from voting). Views were charted on own abilities to influence decision-making, own knowledge of and interest in politics, self-placement on the left-right axis, trust in politicians and other people, and engagement in political discussions and debates with other people.

Opinions on the campaign and election integrity were charted as well as views on the commitment of the public sector to serve citizens and the likelihood of corruption in the public sector. Finally, the respondents assessed the quality of democracy in Finland and reported how often they followed politics in different media.

Background variables included, among others, the respondent's gender, year of birth, education, working hours, supervisory duties, employer sector, occupation, economic activity and occupational status as well as spouse's working hours, supervisory duties, employer sector, occupation, and economic activity and occupational status. Further background information included the respondent's membership in a trade union, religious affiliation, religious attendance, self-perceived social class, political party preference in elections, household composition, monthly gross income, marital status and type of municipality of residence.

Aineiston käytössä huomioitavaa

There is an additional sample in the data, which was included in order to study the effect of different modes of data collection on the response rate. The total sample size was 3,500 persons. The size of the primary sample was 2,500 persons and these persons were offered the possibility to respond to either an online survey or, if they were unable to do so, a postal survey. The size of the additional sample was 1,000 persons. People in the additional sample were only offered the possibility to respond to a postal survey.

Painokertoimet

The data contain six weight variables: expansion weights and sampling weights for the whole data (N=3,500), for the primary sample (N=2,500), and for the additional sample (N=1,000). All weight variables were created using a calibration method in order to improve estimation efficiency and to correct non-response bias. The weights are based on the following population distributions: 1) gender, 2) municipality type (urban, semi-urban, rural), 3) age groups (15-24, 25-34, ..., 65-74), and 4) NUTS3 areas so that the Greater Helsinki area was treated separately and Åland Islands was treated as part of Finland Proper (Varsinais-Suomi). In the additional sample, the region classification has been coarsened in the weight variable as follows: 1 = capital area, 2 = the rest of Uusimaa, 3 = Southern Finland, 4 = Western Finland, 5 = Northern and Eastern Finland. The expansion weights weight the results to match the whole Finnish population (the sum of the weights equals to the size of the Finnish population). The sampling weights do not produce this kind of extension (the weighted mean is 1 and the sum equals to the number of cases). Both variables are based on the same calibration process, only the scale is different.
