Sisällön kuvaus

The survey studied several themes, including the use of media, social trust, political participation and interest, political trust, political orientation and commitment, satisfaction with own circumstances and certain public services, perceptions of own well-being, religious views, experiences of discrimination, and national and ethnic identity. These themes are recurring in different ESS rounds. Themes for the rotating modules in this collection round included welfare attitudes and ageism.

The self-administered follow-up questionnaire included the Schwartz Human Values Scale as well as test questions controlling the main questionnaire. Questions about the use of social security benefits and globalisation were also asked.

The respondents' socio-demographics were widely charted, including, among others, household composition, gender, age, type of neighbourhood, education, occupation, background information on spouse and parents, trade union membership, household income, and marital status.

Probability: Simple random

3,300 people aged 15 or older living in Finland were selected for the sample from the Statistics Finland population database. After removing the overcoverage (deceased persons and persons residing abroad or in institutions), the net sample was 3,207 people. The population was divided by place of residence, gender and age. Each person selected for the sample was contacted at least four times before the case was classified as a non-contact. Each target person was sent a letter and brochure about the study and contacted by phone after. A smaller dataset was collected using follow-up questionnaires. The response rate of face-to-face interviews was 68.4 %.

Aineiston käytössä huomioitavaa

Four Finnish and four Swedish questionnaires were used to collect the data. In addition, the dataset contains the data collected by using the interviewer questionnaire. Variables A1-F73 are based on the face-to-face interviews (questionnaire quF2463). The statements of the Human Values Scale beginning with GS and the questions only asked in Finland beginning with L were the same in both follow-up questionnaires. The follow-up questionnaires also included test questions with similar content but different wording (quF2463_a: HS1-HS12, quF2463_b: HS13-HS24 and quF2463_c: HS25-HS36). Variables I1-I7 and N1-N7 contain the questions in the interviewer questionnaire (questionnaire quF2463_h). Some variables in the data contain numeric missing values. These missing values are not visible in the codebook, but they are included in the actual data.

Painokertoimet

There is a weight variable in the data that weights the sample to match the general population characteristics (gender-age distributions, mother tongue, major region, statistical grouping of municipalities). The weights were computed by using Deville and Särndal's calibration method (JASA, 1992). The following distributions were used in weighting: 1) gender by age group: 15-19, 20-24, 25-29, 30-34, 35-39, 40-44, 45-49, 50-54, 55-59, 60-64, 65-69, 70-79, 80 and over, (2*13=26 categories), 2) respondent's mother tongue: Finnish and Sami; Swedish, Norwegian and Danish; others (3 categories), 3) modified major region classification (NUTS2): capital area, Southern Finland (not including the capital area) + Åland Islands, Eastern Finland, Western Finland, Northern Finland (5 categories) and 4) statistical grouping of municipalities: urban municipalities, densely populated municipalities, rural municipalities (3 categories). The original weight was calculated as follows: the sampling weight divided by the probability of responding at the level of population. Thus, the weight was the same for each person selected for the sample. The final weights were computed by using the the population distributions mentioned above. The calibration was done using a logit distance function and the bounds for the so-called g-weights were 0.6 and 2.1. The coefficient of variation for the final weights was 19.4 percent. The data were weighted using the CALMAR SAS macro (see Sautory 1993). The final weights were scaled so that their mean equals 1 and their sum equals the net sample size.
