Nein

Findings:

For item e, the respondents' reasons were consistent with their selected answers. Respondents who disagreed with the statement said that enough is already being done to stop climate change. Test persons who agreed with the statement, on the other hand, argued that politics must take even more account of the climate:
  • "I am satisfied with what is being done." (TP330, response: rather disagree)
  • "So much is being done, but other countries are much bigger, Germany alone can't do it." (TP551, response: strongly disagree)
  • "Especially economic aspects instead of environment and climate are politically in focus." (TP252, response: rather agree)
  • "People know what is wrong, but it takes too long to implement." (TP270, response: strongly agree)

Recommendations:

The results of the pretest do not indicate any problems with the item, so it can be left in its current form.
