AIMS: To contribute to question development in the NatCen Omnibus (spring) and PSE Main Stage (autumn) surveys using qualitative piloting methods To update and advance the ‘state of the art’ in the measurement of PSE beyond the 1999 PSE OBJECTIVES: Focus groups: To explore public perceptions of deprivation, living standards and social exclusion in the UK today to inform the NatCen Omnibus and PSE Main Stage surveys Cognitive interviews: To undertake qualitative pre-testing of selected indicators for potential inclusion in the PSE Main Stage survey Aims and objectives

Sampling considerations: 1999 ONS Omnibus showed variation in public perceptions of ‘necessities’ by: – household income – household type – age – gender – ethnicity* Important to take account of these social differences in public perceptions of necessities in recruiting study participants Quota sample design: Separate groups recruited by: – household income – household composition – ethnic origin (min ethnic booster) Within groups, respondents were then recruited by: gender; age; tenure; and; (where relevant) employment status and; age of oldest child In total, 14 focus group interviews with114 participants were conducted in: Bristol, Cardiff, London, Glasgow and Belfast Focus group sampling * Pantazis et al., 2000, 2006.

Format: Groups comprised 6-10 participants lasting 2.5 hours each. Research comprised two phases… Phase One: Unstructured approach using brain-storming methods Aims to elicit participant suggestions on basis of group consensus All participants’ asked to consider situation of hypothetical couple with two children Phase Two: Sought to ‘test’ items agreed by Phase 1 groups, and also explore wider indicators of living standards based on card sort methods Participants sorted items into three groups: – Necessities: essential things which everyone should be able to afford if they want them – Desirables: things which many/most people have but which are not essential – Luxuries: things which are costly and exclusive and which fewer people have Focus group research design

Conceptual issues: Defining ‘necessities’: – cannot vs. should not Participants’ living standards & views: – ‘me’ vs. ‘everyone’ Changing norms and preferences: – ‘ taken for granted’ items: ‘an indoor toilet’ – ‘non-salient’ items: ‘cooked breakfast’ (‘fresh fruit & veg. daily’?) Contextual factors: Household/personal circumstances and perceptions of need : ‘a hairdryer’ Affordability and availability: ‘local amenities and services’ Affordability and social resources: networks, support, care Caveats: Full thematic analysis of transcripts needed Investigating interview effects Emerging findings: definitional issues “Necessities: Things which are essential and which everyone should be able to afford if they want them in our society today”

Limitations: – overt vs. covert measurement problems – full thematic analysis needed Cognition and response problems: – evaluating quality and cost: ‘an iPod or mp3 player’ – ‘adequate/ appropriate /decent’ – frequency/duration issues ‘occasionally/regularly’ Next steps: focus group analysis Further thematic analysis of transcripts: – Understandings and definitions of poverty and social exclusion – Indicators of social exclusion and wider living standards in the UK today – Social differences in participants’ perspectives Emerging findings: measurement issues

Cognitive methods in question testing Investigates covert problems of cognition retrieval judgement and response Based on respondent verbal reports using – ‘ think aloud’ method – (interview) ‘prompting’ methods Qualitative analysis of transcripts Fieldwork schedule Spring 2011: one-to-one interviews in Bristol to inform PSE2011 Main Stage survey Inter-locking quota sample by age/sex, income and household type Qualitative framework analysis of interview transcripts Next steps: cognitive interviews THE END!

Necessities of life items: Items agreed (non-99 PSE items)
