Befund zur Frage:

Aim of the pretest:
The aim of the pretest was to find out what respondents understood by "feeling very attached " in the question and whether the term was interpreted consistently. Question 12 was asked only of those respondents who had indicated in question 11 that they had family members abroad.

Findings:
With the exception of two test persons, respondents interpreted the term "feeling very attached" in a consistent manner. They understood it to mean family members to whom they would have a strong emotional bond and whom they would consider a confidant. Some respondents also indicated (in addition) that regular contact was crucial to feeling connected to family members abroad:

• "Thinking of someone often, being able to rely on each other, and being there for each other. Seeing each other as often as possible." (TP202)
• "I want contact with these people and keep contact, the need is mutual." (TP230)
• "On an emotional level, strong feelings, similar to a best friend." (TP266)
• "That you get along well and can talk about anything. A special interest in each other's lives." (TP304)
• "Need to have regular contact and share important events in person." (TP349)
• "Sharing emotions with each other; feeling a warm feeling when thinking about the other person." (TP363)

Two respondents indicated that they would understand this to include friends:

• "You can't just feel close to family! It also includes friends & co! Friends & co are the family you choose!" (TP415)
• "Good friends." (TP688)
