Mikrocensus 1975, 3. quarter: Contacts with Relatives and Acquaintances

The quality of social contacts is, besides the financial situation, one of the most important factors for the happiness and overall satisfaction with life of a person. Questions on the relationships of a person with people from their environment have therefore become of interest for science and institutes concerned with social topics. This problem area is very complex and cannot be covered in one survey; questions from this field have therefore been the topics of several Mikrozensus special surveys (for instance living conditions of elderly people (Mikrozensus MZ7104) or questions on family-related topics (Mikrozensus MZ7302)). Only two, although very important, components of social relation can be covered in the scope of this survey: contact and relationship with parents, children and siblings who live outside the own household and contact with friends in the spare time

社交联系的质量，除却财务状况外，乃是影响个人幸福感与整体生活满意度的最重要因素之一。因此，有关个人与其周遭人群关系的研究议题，已引起社会科学领域与相关社会研究机构的广泛关注。该研究范畴极为复杂，无法通过单次调查实现全面覆盖；故此，该领域的相关问题曾多次被纳入微普查（Mikrozensus）专项调查之中，例如《老年人生活状况专项调查（Mikrozensus MZ7104）》与《家庭相关议题专项调查（Mikrozensus MZ7302）》。本次调查仅能覆盖社会关系中两项虽至关重要的维度：与不在同一家庭户的父母、子女及兄弟姐妹的联系与亲属关系，以及闲暇时间内与友人的社交往来。
