MODERATORS
What's dumber than these surveys which are always filled with loaded questions and questionable sampling methods, is the fact people take them as fact without even looking into them. I spent so much time trying to track down where the original survey is, and it doesn't exist. It's not on the Change Research website, it's not linked by any article that mentions it, and it's not reported by any credible outlet. It's reported on by 5 or so tabloids like The NY Post, The Daily Mail, and Teen Vogue and nothing more.
2 minutes of Googling led me to the poll: https://changeresearch.com/post/poll-young-voters-facing-tough-economic-reality/
The question asked was "Do you consider each of the following behaviors or traits a green, beige, or red flag in a partner?".
Hmm, not seeing that in the link provided...maybe it's been updated, or an issue on my end?
It's question 78. You have to actually go into the sample and methodology document.
Thanks kind internet stranger! Also, am I just obtuse, or did the last questions not have response data?
As an unrelated aside, who the hell has that kind of time for a survey?!
Okay, mild progress... But where's the data for it?
Also, this is from the methodology pdf:
So this is a self reported online poll with 84 oddly phrased questions that was advertised primarily on Instagram and Facebook and conducted on a redirected website. The methodology seems dodgy, and even the people conducting it agree:
Thanks for the link regardless
