    Attitudes to smoking

    There are some disparate views about smoking held by murcers.

    If you are interested you might like to contribute to some research we are doing concerning (cultural) attitudes to smoking, by spending a few minutes filling in an online questionnaire.

    There are english and german versions of the questionnaire.

    Thanks

    Tony.

    Thats plainly too long.
    Oh, and I do not like test where they ask the same question several times (to check if your guessing or what??).

    Sorry.

    BTW: Smoking sucks, people that smokes are pathethic.
    And i have a hard time visiting the friends of mine that smoke (hate the smell in my clothes afterwards).

        I'm sure there are very good reasons for the way the questionnaire is structured. The order of the questions, the way they are put etc are all carefully considered.

        I'm sorry if you think it is too long. I'm not responsible for the content, just the techy stuff.

            Someone's been reading the Alan Carr book eh?

            PS take the "s" off the end of "makes" in Q36.

                Terrible questionnaire (double negatives abound). Takes quite a time for the 170-odd questions.

                    Well, this was kinda dissapointing after all that:

                    Form submitted successfully. Thank you.


                    And your point is, Mr. Tony? Can we see some of the stats you've got so far?

                      one major problem with this questionnaire is that they don't properly give the context, which made me decide to skip it completely.

                      for example:
                      "Smoking doesn't help people relax"
                      do they mean wether people can feel more relaxed if they started picking up a smoking habit vs. people who don't? in that case, I don't know what the answer is. If they mean wether people who have a smoking habit will feel relaxed by smoking a cigarette, then there's a definate 'yes' to that question. The same difference in context which isn't made clear appears all over the questionnaire.

                        I hate tests where they constantly change the question form. Smoking doesn't, smoking does ... make up your mind and be consistent already!

                          Sorry, I'm not making a point. Please re-read the first post. By completing the questionnaire you are contributing to some research being conducted by a colleague of mine.

                          I will ask him to respond to the comments raised here and to provide some provisional stats. As I said, I only make it happen.

                          Also, I think you (Jammrock) will find that there are very good reasons for the way the questions are phrased.

                          I'm sure my colleague is grateful to anyone who finds the time to respond.

                            the alternation in 'doesn't' and 'does' it an easy way to spot people who just fill in answers without reading the question properly.

                              Yeah, that annoyed me rather intensely since I've got that habit
