c) How satisfied are you with your personal relationships?Item Text:Recommendations:
Although subject RUS02 describes the term "personal relationships" as too imprecise, we recommend leaving the question as all other respondents could answer it.
Findings:The main aim of this question was to examine how the test persons interpret the term "personal relationships" and whether there are country-specific differences.
Serbian Test person SER01 thinks primarily of the family when it comes to "personal relationships". Test person SER02 thinks of her social contacts in the refugee home: "In the home there are only aggressive people who cause problems. I can't find any friends to talk to or to go out for coffee. "I only have my husband." (SER02). Arabic Test person AR01 thinks about relationships with work colleagues, friends, his wife and also his neighbours. Test person AR02 thinks above all about relationships with friends. Farsi Test person FAR01 and the interpreter in this interview note that in the questionnaire in Farsi, "personal relationships" were translated as "private relationships". This formulation was too private for the test person, which is why she refused to answer. After it became clear in the interview that "personal relationships" were meant, the test person answered the question. Test person FAR01 thinks of her girlfriend or friends in "private relationships", test person FAR02 thinks of her husband and children. Russian Test person RUS01 understands "personal relationships" to mean her relationships with their family and work colleagues. Test person RUS02 asks who is meant by the term "personal relationships". She thinks of friends, but does not answer the question because it is too "imprecise".
