Sisällön kuvaus

The survey charted Finnish everyday life, values, attitudes, and current phenomena.

First, the respondents were asked about their hobbies and leisure habits. The respondents' values were examined with the 57-item Schwarz Value Survey (SVS).

Next, the respondents were asked how they felt about 100 current issues, such as the European Union, refugee reception, equality, changeover to the euro, and liberalisation of shop opening hours. The respondents were asked to assess the role of the Finnish Red Cross in Finnish society. Their experiences of being busy, internationalisation and friendships were also surveyed.

Working life, work motivation, job satisfaction and characteristics of a good employer were examined. Several questions were asked about the respondents' consumption of alcoholic beverages, Finnish drinking culture and beer advertising. Respondents' views on money, ownership and advertising were further explored. Attitudes towards different companies and brands were also asked.

The respondents' media use was charted. Questions included, for example, which newspapers and magazines the respondents read and how often, which TV shows they found most interesting, and how often they watched TV or listened to the radio. Additionally, the respondents were asked how interested they were in the launch of digital TV broadcasting, whether they currently used or were planning on purchasing or acquiring various electronic devices or services (e.g. a laptop, PC, mobile phone, or ADSL access to the internet), how well they thought they could use a computer and a mobile phone, and how often, on which devices and for what purposes they used the internet. The importance of the various programmes of the public service provider, the Finnish Broadcasting Company (YLE), was assessed. In addition, the respondents' different interests, such as motoring, politics, art, news, science, childcare and fashion, were surveyed.

Next, the respondents' views on current phenomena were charted with various statements on matters such as relationships, commercialism, business, Finnish identity, internationalisation, self-image and following the news. The respondents' eating habits were surveyed with a range of questions. Among other things, the respondents were asked about their use of different foods and dishes. Changes in society and concerns about the future were surveyed with several questions. For example, the respondents were asked which things have changed for better or worse and in which direction Finland's national security and economy will develop in the coming years. Finally, questions were asked about health and equality.

Background variables included the respondent's gender, age, marital status, level of education, job title, economic activity and occupational status, type of municipal of residence, household size, number of children aged under 18 living in the household, income of the household, and job title of the second parent/guardian of the children.

Aineiston käytössä huomioitavaa

The music taste variables in the 2001 data are not comparable with the 2015 set of questions, because the placement of the batteries in the 2015 questionnaire was changed from the middle to the beginning and their questions were asked before the value measurement (see the background information files).

Before archiving, questions on business secrets and questions that proved unsuccessful have been removed.

To prevent identification of individuals, the variables denoting number of children living in the household and household size (t_lapset, t_tkoko were top-coded in the archived data.

The data file and the questionnaire archived at FSD do not include a media question group 4.

Painokertoimet

The data contain a weight variable WeightSAE, which weights the data to be representative of the population in terms of gender, age and level of education. More information on the weight variable can be found in the background information file (in Finnish).
