Abstract

Gallup Worldwide Research continually surveys residents in more than 150 countries, representing more than 98% of the world's adult population, using randomly selected, nationally representative samples. Gallup typically surveys 1,000 individuals in each country, using a standard set of core questions that has been translated into the major languages of the respective country. In some regions, supplemental questions are asked in addition to core questions. Face-to-face interviews are approximately 1 hour, while telephone interviews are about 30 minutes. In many countries, the survey is conducted once per year, and fieldwork is generally completed in two to four weeks. The Country Dataset Details spreadsheet displays each country's sample size, month/year of the data collection, mode of interviewing, languages employed, design effect, margin of error, and details about sample coverage.

Gallup is entirely responsible for the management, design, and control of Gallup Worldwide Research. For the past 70 years, Gallup has been committed to the principle that accurately collecting and disseminating the opinions and aspirations of people around the globe is vital to understanding our world. Gallup's mission is to provide information in an objective, reliable, and scientifically grounded manner. Gallup is not associated with any political orientation, party, or advocacy group and does not accept partisan entities as clients. Any individual, institution, or governmental agency may access the Gallup Worldwide Research regardless of nationality. The identities of clients and all surveyed respondents will remain confidential.

Sampling procedure

SAMPLING AND DATA COLLECTION METHODOLOGY With some exceptions, all samples are probability based and nationally representative of the resident population aged 15 and older. The coverage area is the entire country including rural areas, and the sampling frame represents the entire civilian, non-institutionalized, aged 15 and older population of the entire country. Exceptions include areas where the safety of interviewing staff is threatened, scarcely populated islands in some countries, and areas that interviewers can reach only by foot, animal, or small boat.

Telephone surveys are used in countries where telephone coverage represents at least 80% of the population or is the customary survey methodology (see the Country Dataset Details for detailed information for each country). In Central and Eastern Europe, as well as in the developing world, including much of Latin America, the former Soviet Union countries, nearly all of Asia, the Middle East, and Africa, an area frame design is used for face-to-face interviewing.

The typical Gallup Worldwide Research survey includes at least 1,000 surveys of individuals. In some countries, oversamples are collected in major cities or areas of special interest. Additionally, in some large countries, such as China and Russia, sample sizes of at least 2,000 are collected. Although rare, in some instances the sample size is between 500 and 1,000. See the Country Dataset Details for detailed information for each country.

FACE-TO-FACE SURVEY DESIGN

FIRST STAGE In countries where face-to-face surveys are conducted, the first stage of sampling is the identification of 100 to 135 ultimate clusters (Sampling Units), consisting of clusters of households. Sampling units are stratified by population size and or geography and clustering is achieved through one or more stages of sampling. Where population information is available, sample selection is based on probabilities proportional to population size, otherwise simple random sampling is used. Samples are drawn independent of any samples drawn for surveys conducted in previous years.

There are two methods for sample stratification:

METHOD 1: The sample is stratified into 100 to 125 ultimate clusters drawn proportional to the national population, using the following strata: 1) Areas with population of at least 1 million 2) Areas 500,000-999,999 3) Areas 100,000-499,999 4) Areas 50,000-99,999 5) Areas 10,000-49,999 6) Areas with less than 10,000

The strata could include additional stratum to reflect populations that exceed 1 million as well as areas with populations less than 10,000. Worldwide Research Methodology and Codebook Copyright © 2008-2012 Gallup, Inc. All rights reserved. 8

METHOD 2:

A multi-stage design is used. The country is first stratified by large geographic units, and then by smaller units within geography. A minimum of 33 Primary Sampling Units (PSUs), which are first stage sampling units, are selected. The sample design results in 100 to 125 ultimate clusters.

SECOND STAGE

Random route procedures are used to select sampled households. Unless an outright refusal occurs, interviewers make up to three attempts to survey the sampled household. To increase the probability of contact and completion, attempts are made at different times of the day, and where possible, on different days. If an interviewer cannot obtain an interview at the initial sampled household, he or she uses a simple substitution method. Refer to Appendix C for a more in-depth description of random route procedures.

THIRD STAGE

Respondents are randomly selected within the selected households. Interviewers list all eligible household members and their ages or birthdays. The respondent is selected by means of the Kish grid (refer to Appendix C) in countries where face-to-face interviewing is used. The interview does not inform the person who answers the door of the selection criteria until after the respondent has been identified. In a few Middle East and Asian countries where cultural restrictions dictate gender matching, respondents are randomly selected using the Kish grid from among all eligible adults of the matching gender.

TELEPHONE SURVEY DESIGN

In countries where telephone interviewing is employed, random-digit-dial (RDD) or a nationally representative list of phone numbers is used. In select countries where cell phone penetration is high, a dual sampling frame is used. Random respondent selection is achieved by using either the latest birthday or Kish grid method. At least three attempts are made to reach a person in each household, spread over different days and times of day. Appointments for callbacks that fall within the survey data collection period are made.

PANEL SURVEY DESIGN

Prior to 2009, United States data were collected using The Gallup Panel. The Gallup Panel is a probability-based, nationally representative panel, for which all members are recruited via random-digit-dial methodology and is only used in the United States. Participants who elect to join the panel are committing to the completion of two to three surveys per month, with the typical survey lasting 10 to 15 minutes. The Gallup Worldwide Research panel survey is conducted over the telephone and takes approximately 30 minutes. No incentives are given to panel participants.

Research instrument

QUESTION DESIGN

Many of the Worldwide Research questions are items that Gallup has used for years. When developing additional questions, Gallup employed its worldwide network of research and political scientists1 to better understand key issues with regard to question development and construction and data gathering. Hundreds of items were developed, tested, piloted, and finalized. The best questions were retained for the core questionnaire and organized into indexes. Most items have a simple dichotomous ("yes or no") response set to minimize contamination of data because of cultural differences in response styles and to facilitate cross-cultural comparisons.

The Gallup Worldwide Research measures key indicators such as Law and Order, Food and Shelter, Job Creation, Migration, Financial Wellbeing, Personal Health, Civic Engagement, and Evaluative Wellbeing and demonstrates their correlations with world development indicators such as GDP and Brain Gain. These indicators assist leaders in understanding the broad context of national interests and establishing organization-specific correlations between leading indexes and lagging economic outcomes.

Gallup organizes its core group of indicators into the Gallup World Path. The Path is an organizational conceptualization of the seven indexes and is not to be construed as a causal model. The individual indexes have many properties of a strong theoretical framework. A more in-depth description of the questions and Gallup indexes is included in the indexes section of this document. In addition to World Path indexes, Gallup Worldwide Research questions also measure opinions about national institutions, corruption, youth development, community basics, diversity, optimism, communications, religiosity, and numerous other topics. For many regions of the world, additional questions that are specific to that region or country are included in surveys. Region-specific questions have been developed for predominantly Muslim nations, former Soviet Union countries, the Balkans, sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America, China and India, South Asia, and Israel and the Palestinian Territories.

The questionnaire is translated into the major conversational languages of each country. The translation process starts with an English, French, or Spanish version, depending on the region. One of two translation methods may be used.

METHOD 1: Two independent translations are completed. An independent third party, with some knowledge of survey research methods, adjudicates the differences. A professional translator translates the final version back into the source language.

METHOD 2: A translator

The purpose of the study: to find out the opinion of the Lithuanian population on the socially relevant issues during the rapid political, social and economic transformation of the country. Major investigated questions: after living in a blockade for some time, respondents were asked what they thought about March 11, 1990, and to what extent they were determined to endure hardships because of Lithuania's independence. It was asked which part of the individual groups of the Lithuanian population did not support the independence of the Republic of Lithuania. Further, the work of the Supreme Council of the Republic of Lithuania and the Government of Lithuania (Council of Ministers), as well as the political activity of various Lithuanian political forces and movements and M. Gorbachev were evaluated. It was wanted to know whether a referendum on the independence of the Republic was necessary in Lithuania. It was asked to assess whether V. Landsbergis performs the duties of the chairman of the Supreme Council and K. Prunskienė - of the Prime Minister. Respondents were asked how they envision Lithuania's relations with the Soviet Union in the future. Respondents had the opportunity to indicate the problems of Lithuania that should be addressed first. Further, respondents were asked in which country they would prefer to work temporarily if the respondent or their family were offered a job outside of Lithuania and whether the match of the offered job with their existing qualifications would be important. It was asked whether the respondent had ever spoken to an American (a U.S. citizen) and what he or she thought of U.S. policy toward Lithuania. It was asked whether it might be necessary to change jobs this year and whether it would be difficult for the respondent's profession to find a job. It was asked whether the Lithuanian residents who participated in the survey were satisfied with their family's financial situation and whether they had a telephone at home. Finally, it was asked whether the respondents had to read and listen to the results of the surveys conducted by Public Opinion Polling Center and whether they believed that these results reflected the opinion of the Lithuanian population. Socio-demographic characteristics: gender, age, education, social status, nationality, income per family member, average monthly income of the respondent, place of residence, country of residence, families number of members.

Euromaidan (or the Revolution of Dignity) is the name given to the protests of late November 2013 - February 2014 that began after the Ukrainian government announced that it was suspending its course towards European integration. KIIS, in collaboration with DIF and with funding from the International Renaissance Foundation, conducted three polls among participants of the Maidan protests in Kyiv: • The first poll of Maidan participants was held on weekdays, the 7th and 8th of December 2013. A total of 1037 respondents were interviewed using a method that provides a random sample of Maidan participants. • The second poll of Maidan, conducted when it had become a stationary camp (Maidan-camp), took place on December 20, 2013 (Friday). A total of 515 persons were interviewed, representing all stationary points on the square. • On February 3, 2014 (Monday), the third survey of Maidan participants was conducted. In total, 502 people were interviewed at all stationary points of Maidan (tents, House of Trade Unions, the building of the Kyiv City State Administration, October Palace, Ukrainian House, and others), according to a sample that provided proportional coverage of Maidan participants. The topics addressed in these polls include the motivations and demands of the protesters, their willingness to continue participating in protests, the conditions under which they would leave, as well as the socio-demographic profile of participants. The purpose of the survey was to discover whether and what changes had happened among Maidan participants at different stages, exploring shifts in the social and demographic structure, as well as changes in views and demands.

After the end of Euromaidan and a period of time passed, KIIS incorporated a question into its nationwide polls with the objective of understanding the public's perception of those protests. The question was: "Please tell me which of the following two statements is closer to your opinion? Euromaidan was... 1) a people's protest in support of Ukraine's European path of development, against government corruption, and violence from representatives of law enforcement OR 2) a struggle for power by anti-Russian, nationalist forces supported by Western intelligence services". This question was designed and employed as part of an assessment of the effectiveness of Russian propaganda; therefore, the second option deliberately repeats one of the Russian propaganda theses. In the period 2015-2018, this question was included in four public opinion polls. Each of the polls was carried out on a sample representative of Ukraine's adult population (aged 18 and older), with an average sample size of about 2,000 respondents. For ease of analysis, the data from these polls was merged into one dataset, with a total of 8,119 respondents. The background information includes respondents' socio-demographic profiles (gender, age, education, nationality, occupation, self-assessment of financial situation) and place of residence (oblast, type of settlement). These data can be used to analyse the transformations of retrospective perceptions of the Euromaidan events among the population of Ukraine, particularly as an indicator of the influence of various narratives across different territorial and socio-demographic groups.
