Cal State Fullerton survey posted
December 10, 2003
Introduction
This survey was conducted for the CSUF Center for Public Policy / Orange County Business Council team by the Social Science Research Center at California State University, Fullerton (SSRC). The SSRC Director is Dr. Gregory Robinson.
Telephone interviews were conducted utilizing Computer Assisted Telephone Interviewing (CATI) equipment and software. The CATI system is a sophisticated information gathering protocol that contributes to the accuracy of data and to preserving the random nature of the sample.
A draft survey instrument was provided by the Center for Public Policy and three survey questions were added by Dr. Fred Smoller, with Forde and Mollrich. The survey instrument was refined by the Social Science Research Center for comprehensiveness, flow, length and factors that influence respondent cooperation and interest. Sample design and technical assistance with data analysis was provided by the SSRC.
The survey of Orange County residents took place between June 23 and July 8, 2003. Five hundred one randomly selected households are represented in the data. Interviews were conducted in English only. Calculated conservatively, the confidence interval for findings noted is plus / minus 4.47 per cent. Confidence intervals around subgroups within the sample are broader.
Survey questions included from previous Center for Public Policy/ Orange County Business Council Surveys:
Q1. Do you think that things in Orange County are generally going in the right direction or are they generally off on the wrong track?
