Befund zur Frage:
Intention of the question:
Question 2 is designed to capture the timing of one’s own coronavirus infection and is asked only respondents who indicated in question 1 that they had already been infected with the coronavirus.
Findings:
In the cognitive pretest, a total of four respondents were asked this question. When probed, they stated that they had thought of the positive PCR test (and not, for example, a rapid test) when answering.
All four subjects gave an exact date and three of them were “very sure” or “rather sure” that they remembered the date correctly. The PCR test did not date back more than half a year for any of the respondents. One respondent was uncertain about the exact day and estimated it (“I don’t know the day at all. It was around January 20. I don’t have that at hand now, I don’t remember it.”).
