Citizen's Pulse 4/2024

DOI

Kansalaispulssi selvittää suomalaisten mielipiteitä ajankohtaisista aiheista, viranomaisten toiminnasta sekä vastaajan mielialasta ja huolenaiheista. Aineisto sisältää kysymyksiä Venäjän hyökkäyksestä Ukrainaan, liikunnasta ja liikkumisesta sekä teemoista, joihin maan hallituksen pitäisi kiinnittää huomiota. Tämän kierroksen kyselyssä kartoitettiin, kuinka tyytyväisiä vastaajat ovat demokratian toimivuuteen Suomessa ja kuinka paljon he luottavat eri instituutioihin. Kysyttiin myös kuinka oikeudenmukaisena he pitävät suomalaista yhteiskuntaa. Edelleen kysyttiin vastaajan mielialasta, luottamuksesta tulevaisuuteen sekä koetusta stressistä ja turvallisuudesta. Vastaajia pyydettiin myös arvioimaan suomalaisten kriisimielialaa tällä hetkellä. Lisäksi vastaajat arvioivat, mihin yhteiskunnallisiin teemoihin, kuten kestävään julkiseen talouteen, yritysten toimintaedellytyksiin, ilmastotoiminen edistämiseen ja toimivaan terveydenhuoltoon, hallituksen pitäisi lähitulevaisuudessa erityisesti kiinnittää huomiota. Kysyttiin myös kuinka huolestuneita vastaajat ovat kotitaloutensa toimeentulosta sekä julkisen talouden tilanteesta. Turvallisuustilanteeseen ja Venäjän hyökkäykseen Ukrainaan liittyen kysyttiin, huolestuttavatko sodan mahdollinen laajeneminen tai Venäjän vaikuttamispyrkimykset. Lisäksi tiedusteltiin näkemyksiä EU:n Venäjälle asettamien talouspakotteiden hyväksyttävyydestä sekä vastaajien omakohtaisia havaintoja harhaanjohtavaan tietoon perustuvista vaikuttamisyrityksistä tai tietoturvaongelmista internetissä. Tiedusteltiin myös vuoden 2024 europarlamenttivaaleissa äänestämisestä. Lopuksi kysyttiin, ovatko vastaajat liikkuneet kuuden viime kuukauden aikana liikuntasuositusten mukaisesti ja ovatko he muuttaneet liikuntakäyttäytymistään. Taustamuuttujina olivat vastauskieli, vastaajan sukupuoli, ikäryhmä, maakunta, koulutus sekä tietoja kotitalouden rakenteesta ja taloudellisesta tilanteesta.

The Citizens' Pulse surveys examine Finnish attitudes and opinions on current issues. Main themes in the surveys include the activity of authorities, future expectations, trust, and the respondents' own state of mind. This collection round also included questions on the Russian invasion of Ukraine, physical activities and issues that the Finnish government should address. The fourth collection round of 2024 surveyed the respondents' satisfaction with the state of democracy in Finland, as well as their trust in various institutions (e.g. the Finnish Government, the health care system, the media, and the Finnish Defence Forces). The respondents were asked to evaluate how fair or unfair they thought Finnish society was at present, and their state of mind was examined with questions on various matters relating to well-being. The questions covered, for example, the respondents' own mental well-being, whether they were worried about the adequacy of their income, their confidence in their future, and experiences of stress. Additionally, the respondents were asked to evaluate whether an atmosphere of crisis prevailed amongst Finns and whether they were worried about the state of general government finances (state and municipalities). The respondents' views were investigated on which societal issues (e.g. promotion of climate action, national defence, poverty reduction, effective healthcare, operating conditions of businesses and investment opportunities) the Finnish government should focus on in the near future. Opinions on whether Finland's national debt should be reduced regardless of the resulting cuts in benefits and welfare it would entail for Finnish citizens and whether social security cuts can be considered acceptable if they provide an incentive to take up work and increase employment were also surveyed. The respondents' views on the right to seek asylum in Finland were also charted. The next set of questions focused on the Russian invasion of Ukraine and national security in Finland. The respondents were asked how concerned they were about the crisis in Ukraine and its effects, and whether they were concerned that the war might expand beyond Ukraine. The respondents were also asked whether they were concerned that Russia might take military action against Finland or try to interfere with the functioning of Finnish society. Opinions on the economic sanctions imposed on Russia by the EU and whether Finland should be ready to receive significant numbers of refugees from Ukraine if necessary were charted. The respondents were asked whether Finland's actions on the border with Russia had reinforced their sense security, whether Finland's response to Russian interference has been adequate and timely, and whether the respondents were concerned about Russia's recent actions. Additionally, the respondents were also asked whether they had noticed any cyber security issues or instances where purposefully misleading claims based on misinformation were spread on social media or online over the previous month. Voting intentions in the 2024 european parliament election (european elections) in Finland were surveyed by asking the respondents whether they intended to vote in the election, whether they intended to vote during the early voting period or on election day, and whether they felt that by voting they could have an impact on matters that were important to them and the people close to them. Finally, the respondents were asked whether they had been exercising according to the physical activity recommendations in Finland for the past six months and whether they had changed their physical activity behaviour. Background variables included the language responded in, the respondent's gender, age group, NUTS3 region of residence, highest level of education, household composition, and perceived financial situation of household.
