    1. Implementation of Recommendations: Item überarbeitet
  2. Cognitive Techniques:Information image/link to cognitive pretesting General Probing, Specific Probing
  3. Findings for Question: All test persons who live in a relationship could assign themselves to a category.

    The answer category "other" was chosen once (TP 17) because the test person could not clearly classify "study". In this case the category "training" was disregarded. "This was in study, but it is not written here. So other: study." (TP 17)

    Furthermore, one test person stated that random events, such as shopping, were missing. The same person was able to classify herself into two categories, so that a multiple choice was made (TP 18): "Job/workplace or hobby and club also. These were both common things. Applies to both."
  2. Question Topic: Society & social affairs/ Relationships
  3. Construct: Places or "markets" of partner selection
