Strategy/Wikimedia movement/2017/Sources/Brand awareness, attitudes, and usage research (July 2017)/ar
== Methodology ==
As part of the 2017 Wikimedia Movement Strategy process, the Wikimedia Foundation commissioned a series of surveys in seven different countries to give the movement a high-level understanding of the general population’s awareness, attitudes and usage patterns of its most popular project, Wikipedia, in high-awareness regions.
Below you will find the initial reports and preliminary insights from the surveys along with a description of methodology and the questionnaire data. The surveys and resulting reports were conducted by Wellspring Insights & Innovation Inc., an outside data analysis and market research firm, in consultation with Wikimedia Foundation staff. In addition to fielding the survey, Wellspring has provided the analysis found in the executive summary, key insights and country reports. Over the coming months, the Wikimedia Foundation and movement partners will be analyzing this data to inform the future of the movement.
The survey was fielded in France, Germany, Japan, Russia, Spain, the UK, and the US via an online survey accessible on a PC, laptop or device (tablet, smartphone). A total of 1,150 surveys with internet users (individuals who access the internet via any device type and connection) were completed in each country. All respondents were between 13-49 years old; GenX defined as 36 to 49 years, GenY 20-35, and GenZ 13-19.
Non-probability quota sampling was utilized at the researcher’s recommendation. Participants were randomly sourced from multiple online (opt-in) research panels to help minimize bias by including people from all socioeconomic levels, geography and interests. Quotas were established per country in order to balance the sample and provide the most representative sample possible by age cohort, gender, and geography. All data has been weighted proportionately.
Note: By definition, non-probability sampling techniques mean we cannot calculate the margin of sampling error. Results and conclusions can represent the target population but are “directional” rather than “projectable.” Observed differences between populations cannot be discussed in terms of “statistical significance,” only in directional terms.
