After looking at if people who quit stayed smoke-free due to the recent massive tax hike, here we have iShare looking at the overall population to see who quit smoking due to the price rise. As most people predicted, the long-overdue price rise wasn’t matched by a similar reduction in smoking rates.
Demographics
Between the 4th and 8th of November 2010 661 members of the CLUB BBQ free email forwarding service completed a private internet-based questionnaire. 56.1% of the sample were male, 25.6% in their twenties, 33.4% in their thirties, and 41.0% in their forties.
One slight problem with the data here is that the smoking population at 21.3% of men and 8.3% of women is about half of the usually-accepted figures, although I don’t know why this sample would differ from the general population. Read the rest of this entry »
Having just ordered my New Year postcards today, it seems timely to translate this survey from goo Ranking into New Year postcard disappointments.
Demographics
Over the 21st and 22nd of October 2010 1,075 members of the goo Research online monitor group completed a private internet-based questionnaire. 66.3% of the sample were female, 9.9% in their teens, 18.1% in their twenties, 30.9% in their thirties, 24.7% in their forties, 8.8% in their fifties, and 7.5% aged sixty or older. Note that the score in the results refers to the relative number of votes for each option, not a percentage of the total sample.
My postcards this year will be Rilakkuma – we were going to do Miffy cards, which would be appropriate given that next year’s Chinese horoscope sign is the rabbit, but the discount coupon we had had expired. Read the rest of this entry »
Here is my first “best of 2010″ surveys, a look by iShare at internet slang in 2010. Not all the words are from 2010, in fact most of them are a bit older, but it is the awareness that is being investigated in this survey.
Demographics
Between the 19th and 22nd of October 2010 665 members of the CLUB BBQ free email forwarding service completed a private internet-based questionnaire. 54.0% of the sample were male, 26.9% in their twenties, 35.0% in their thirties, and 38.0% in their forties.
That was a lot of fun to translate, and I learnt a bit tonight! If I have made a few mistakes along the way, please let me know.
Macromill Research recently took a look at the winter dinner table to see what families gather around the table to eat.
Demographics
Over the 17th and 18th of November 2010 500 married members of the Macromill monitor group completed a private internet-based questionnaire. The sample was 50:50 male and female, and 25.0% in their twenties, 25.0% in their thirties, 25.0% in their forties, and 25.0% aged fifty or older.
I find these big pot meals too much bother when I go out with colleagues from work, especially as they are not terribly veggie-friendly! At home we’ve got an earthenware pot or nabe, but we’ve never actually used it. Standard curry or stew from a pan is good enough for me.

Just a quick note for smartphone owners – I’ve added a mobile-friendly low-bandwidth plugin to the site, so if you visit with your mobile browser the site should look much better than before. I went to a mobile phone shop this evening after work and surfed here on a demo Xperia, and I was very pleasantly surprised at how nice it looked!
Between the 1st and 11th of October 2010 13,925 members of the goo Research monitor panel who were guardians of children of elementary school age completed a private internet-based questionnaire. No demographic information on the children was supplied, but the adults were 54.4% female, 1.1% in their twenties, 40.8% in their thirties, 53.2% in their forties, and 4.8% aged fifty or older. It is also not clear how guardians with multiple children completed the survey.
At least most of the children seem to be well-policed regarding their internet use, with the majority spending less than an hour online a week, and email and chat being less frequent activities. Read the rest of this entry »

?> That was the question posed by iShare in this survey into being tired of eco life. Note that eco here refers to both ecology and economising.
Demographics
Over the 10th and 11th of November 2010 1,509 members of the CLUB BBQ free email forwarding service completed a private internet-based questionnaire. 53.9% of the sample were male, 16.2% in their twenties, 32.7% in their thirties, 37.6% in their forties, and 13.5% in their fifties. Furthermore, all of them lived within one of the cities of Tokyo, Kanagawa, Chiba, Saitama, Osaka, Kyoto or Kobe.
I’m definitely fed up hearing about eco, and I’m dreading the day that they tell us that we should unplug out phone rechargers at work before we go home at night. I worked out that at an average hourly rate it actually costs more money to bend under the desk and spend 10 seconds plugging and unplugging versus the bleed from an average charger.

An interesting survey from goo Research, conducted in conjunction with President magazine, looked at time management, and this extract highlighted the differences in habits between the rich (over 15 million per year salary) and the average (between 4 and 5 million per year).
Demographics
There was little demographic information, just that there were 311 people in each of the two salary ranges, all of them business people.
I’m a “not at all” for four of them, and a “very much so” for Q4 if writing for the blog qualifies doing something productive while commuting Read the rest of this entry »
This recent survey from iShare looked at air purifier and ioniser purchasing intentions. Note that although it is unseasonal for buying air purifiers as they tend to have an image of being useful for hayfever sufferers, ionisers (or indeed air purifiers with built-in ionisers) are in laboratory tests effective against cleaning influenza and other viruses out of the air.
Demographics
Between the 5th and 8th of November 2010 590 members of the CLUB BBQ free email forwarding service completed a private internet-based questionnaire. 55.6% of the sample were male, 26.9% in their twenties, 33.6% in their thirties, and 39.5% in their forties.
I have an air purifier that we use every night, and it comes complete with a built-in “Plasma Cluster” ioniser. It’s the sort of thing that’s impossible to tell if it has any benefit in real life, I think, but it seems to work in the lab at least. Read the rest of this entry »
