The respondents were asked how important in life they considered work, family, friends or acquaintances, leisure, politics and religion. They were also asked which groups and associations they belonged to, in which of them they are engaged in voluntary work, and what kind of people they would not have as their neighbours. In addition, they were asked about their general state of health, how they felt about life as a whole, and how happy or unhappy they felt. The respondents were also asked what economical and social factors were the most important to them at work. The respondents were also asked what role owners, the state, and employees should have in the ownership of an enterprise and in choosing management.
