Serbian
Test person SER01 goes to work and chooses the answer "low": "I go home from work, at home I sleep, then back to work." (SER01).
Arabic
Test person AR01 also has both a work and a school routine. The test person works in the morning and attends evening classes 3 times a week. There are no problems with understanding the question.Test person AR02 chooses the answer category "low". Again in the question, she does not refer to health problems, but feels generally uncomfortable working in an office. The test person states that she prefers to work in the garden instead, as she is not familiar with office routine.
English
Test person ENG01 is the only person stating that she currently has no work. She chooses the answer category "strong" difficulties. The test person has completed a Bachelor’s degree in her home country, but has nothing to do in the refugee camp. Due to the existing psychological problems, she also does not manage to motivate herself to read something and to keep herself busy or to concentrate on something for a longer period of time. This frustrates her a lot and makes her unhappy, according to her own statement.
The interviewer also notes that in the English translation of the questionnaire the translation of "school routine is missing; the question only refers to "day-to-day work".
