Project period

Survey phase: beginning of April – beginning of August 2009 
 

 

Target group

Girls and boys with German citizenship aged between 14 and 17, as well as their parents Since 2005 girls and boys with foreign nationality have also been included in the survey (their parents, however, have not)

 

Sample

A total of 5,674 interviews, distributed over the following groups:

Size of the supplementary sample

• Girls with foreign citizenship  n = 357
• Boys with foreign citizenship     n = 375

A sample of “young people with a migrant background” was defined and evaluated. This sample consisted of:

• girls and boys with foreign citizenship (supplementary sample)
• young people from the main sample, who, because of their parents’ origin, were identified as young people with a migrant background

Size of the main sample

• Girls with German citizenship n = 1,456, parent interviews for this group: n = 1,190
• Boys with German citizenship n = 1,354, parent interviews for this group: n = 942

Evaluation of the main sample, “German young people”, is based on girls and boys with German citizenship, regardless of a possible migrant background as a result of the parents’ origin, since this corresponds to the definition of the earlier surveys.

 

Approach / research design

• face-to-face surveys all over Germany
• quota method (by age, gender, and among the German young people also by education)
• combined oral and written questionnaires. The survey was split into a personal, oral section conducted by an interviewer, as well as a written questionnaire that addressed more intimate questions. This was filled in by the young people themselves.
• Parent interviews were conducted orally with the exception of only a few questions.
