Stretch Covers, 1969

<P>Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.</P>Data accumulated from Consumers' Association surveys are designed to be used by the consumer. The surveys are, therefore, very specific in nature and the subjects covered diverse. The Data Archive holds 19 such surveys.<br> Readers are asked to note that, with the exception of the surveys on the Telephone Service - 69004, 69016, respondents surveyed are self selected from subscribers to the Association's magazine &lt;i&gt;Which?&lt;/i&gt; and so the surveys cannot singly be used in descriptive accounts of the British public.<br> Surveys 69005-69012 cover various aspects of the housing experiences of &lt;i&gt;Which?&lt;/i&gt; readers who moved house in 1967 and 1968. It is here particularly important to remember that the choice strategies and the resources of &lt;i&gt;Which?&lt;/i&gt; readers are unlikely to be typical.<br><B>Main Topics</B>:<BR><br>A comprehensive study which includes: brand name; piece of furniture cover bought for; pattern and fibre of cover; how purchased (i.e. from retail shop, mail order etc.); whether samples were received; time which elapsed between placing order and receiving goods; payment (i.e. cost and when paid); instructions for use received with cover (e.g. for fitting, washing etc.); wear of cover (e.g. after washing, after use on chair, retention of fit, colour fastness etc.); respondent satisfaction with cover, and main reason for purchasing cover. A section probes respondent experiences when attempting to return or exchange new/used covers. Also recorded is whether there is a cat in the household that has access to the cover!本摘要版权归英国数据服务中心（UK Data Service）及数据采集版权所有者所有。英国消费者协会（Consumers' Association）所开展调研的采集数据，专为服务消费者需求而设计，因此此类调研本身极具针对性，覆盖主题多元广泛。英国数据档案馆（The Data Archive）馆藏此类调研数据集共19项。 请读者留意：除编号为69004、69016的电话服务类调研外，其余调研的受访者均为该协会杂志《Which?》的订阅用户自主遴选而来，因此此类调研无法单独用于刻画英国公众的整体图景。 编号69005至69012的调研，聚焦1967至1968年间迁居的《Which?》杂志读者的住房经历多个维度。在此需特别注意：《Which?》杂志读者的购房决策策略与可支配资源，并不具备社会整体的典型代表性。 **核心主题**： 本次调研覆盖内容全面，涵盖：家具套的品牌名称、适配家具品类、套面图案与纤维材质、购买渠道（如线下零售店、邮购等）、是否获取过样品、下单至收货的耗时、付款详情（含费用金额与付款时点）、随套附赠的使用说明（如安装、洗涤指引等）、家具套的磨损状况（如洗涤后、置于椅面使用后的磨损、贴合度保持情况、色牢度等）、受访者对家具套的满意度，以及购买该家具套的主要动因。调研设有专门板块，探究受访者在尝试退换全新或已使用的家具套时的相关经历。此外，调研同时记录了受访家庭是否饲养可接触家具套的猫咪。
