The Science Barometer survey
The 2022 Science Barometer survey was conducted via Gallup Forum, Kantar’s online respondent panel, between 27 May and 11 June 2022. Altogether 1,085 persons took part. The respondents represent the Finnish population aged over 18, excluding residents of Åland.
To improve the reliability of statistical conclusions, the data are weighted by gender, age and place of residence to better represent the population. The statistical margin of error is around +/– 3.0 percentage points.
The Finnish Science Barometer has been conducted every three years since 2001. Previously data were collected by postal questionnaire, but in 2019 an online survey was collected alongside the postal survey because response rates had been steadily falling. The new method of data collection proved reliable, paving the way to develop the online version.
