Abstract

The Citizens' Pulse surveys examine Finnish attitudes and opinions in the context of the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19), the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and energy conservation. Main themes in the surveys include the activity and communication of authorities, compliance with regulations, future expectations, trust, and the respondents' own state of mind. This combined dataset includes the 11 Citizens' Pulse surveys conducted in 2022. The variable kierros22 contains information on the collection round in which each question was asked. The questionnaire files (in Finnish) are available in the study descriptions of the individual datasets in the Citizens' Pulse series.

Background variables included the respondent's gender, age group, NUTS3 region of residence, highest level of education, household composition, and perceived financial situation of household.

Sampling Procedure

Probability: Stratified

The samples for each individual collection round were formed of target persons aged 15 to 74 living in mainland Finland who had responded to Statistics Finland's Labour Force Survey, Consumer Confidence Survey, or Finnish Travel Survey, and for whom a current telephone number could be found. The sample sizes of the collection rounds varied from 2,495 to 2,858 persons. The persons included in the samples for the Citizens' Pulse surveys had expressed their willingness to respond to an additional survey when responding to the three surveys mentioned above. The samples for the Labour Force Survey, Consumer Confidence Survey and Finnish Travel Survey are drawn as stratified random samples from Statistics Finland's population database, which is based on the Central Population Register.

An invitation to participate in the study and a personal direct link to a Webropol survey were sent to the respondents by text message. The text message also contained a link to the Statistics Finland data collection webpage, where the participants were informed about, for instance, data protection. The data collection page includes a link to the privacy notice. Reminder messages were sent to those who had not yet responded two days after the first text message and on the last day of data collection. Most of the responses were received in the first three days after data collection began. Response rates varied between collection rounds and were in the range of 41.9 - 50.5%. More information on the sampling methods is available in the study descriptions of the individual datasets in the Citizens' Pulse series from 2022.
