Child Barometer 2022

The study surveyed Finnish six- and seven-year-olds' thoughts on safety. Safety is explored through five themes: things that promote safety, how safety is experienced in different environments, experiences of insecurity, the definition of safety and children's experiences of being interviewed. First, the child's parent was asked for background information, followed by questions for the child. First, the child was asked about things that make him or her feel safe. The things that promote safety were divided into things, places and people. Next, the experience of safety in different environments was discussed. The child was asked about the experience of safety at preschool and outdoors. The child was also asked what makes or would make being outside safe. In relation to experiences of insecurity, the children's experiences of fear, things and places that cause fear and things that ease fear were explored. The definition of safety was explored by asking children directly what they thought safety meant. Finally, they were asked for their opinion on responding to the survey. Background variables included the child's gender, region and major region of residence, number of parents/guardians and children in the household, parents' education level, financial situation of the household and the language used in the interview.

本研究对芬兰六岁和七岁儿童的关于安全的思考进行了调查。安全主题通过五个方面进行探讨：促进安全的事物、在不同环境中体验安全的方式、不安全感的体验、安全的定义以及儿童接受访谈的经历。首先，研究者向儿童的家长询问背景信息，随后对儿童进行提问。首先询问儿童使其感到安全的事物，促进安全的事物被划分为物品、场所和人物。随后，讨论了不同环境中的安全体验。儿童被询问在幼儿园和户外的安全体验，以及他们认为什么因素使得或可能会使得户外安全。关于不安全感的体验，研究者探讨了儿童的恐惧感、引起恐惧的事物和场所，以及缓解恐惧的事物。通过直接询问儿童他们对安全的理解，探讨了安全的定义。最后，他们还被问及对参与调查的看法。背景变量包括儿童的性别、居住地区以及主要居住区域、家庭中的父母/监护人及儿童数量、父母的教育水平、家庭的经济状况以及访谈中使用的语言。
