| b) I am proud to work in my current profession. [Ich bin stolz darauf, in meinem derzeitigen Beruf zu arbeiten.] | Nein | The majority of the test persons (n = 11) agree or strongly agree with this statement. Two test persons (TP 01, TP 09) answer with "neither nor" and two further test persons with "disagree" (TP 05, TP 10). Test person 05 justifies her "disagree" answer with her rejection of the term "pride": "I am happy to work in my company and do my job well and with pleasure. But proud? Pride is something I personally don't know that much about anyway. I would be proud if I did something more noble, e.g. animal rescuers, doctors, rescue services, they really do save people. Or development aid." (TP 05). Three test persons (TP 02, TP 03, TP11) state that they thought of their company/organization and not of their current activity as intended when answering this statement. The remaining 12 test persons said that they were thinking about their current job or (identical) learned profession. Only test person 15 refers (erroneously) to her learned occupation when answering the item, which however does not correspond to her current activity. |

| c) I would turn down another, better-paid job to stay in my calling. [Ich würde eine andere, besser bezahlte Stelle ablehnen, um in meinem Beruf zu bleiben.] | Nein | The majority of the test persons (n = 8) disagree (strongly) with this statement. However, as with question 5, it became clear from the questions of the test directors that one test person (TP 13) had ticked a "wrong" answer due to the negatively formulated item and the associated difficulty in expressing with the answer scale that he/she would like to continue in his/her current job and actually wanted to answer "agree" instead of "disagree": "I would not agree with this question (that I would change) because I actually like my job very much and would possibly perform it in another company. But I didn't want to do something else arbitrarily." (TP 13, disagree). Test person 01 also states that due to the negative wording he had difficulties in answering the statement: "I found it difficult to answer. I had to think about which answer I had to mark with a cross to say what I meant." (TP 01). The test persons 02 ("Don’t know") and 15 ("Neither nor") justify their answers, as (partly) already in question 5, by the fact that it depends on the respective circumstances whether one would refuse such a position or not. Several factors (and not only payment) would play a role here:
|
|||
| e.) that governments respect democratic rights whatever the circumstances [dass Regierungen die demokratischen Rechte unter allen Umständen achten] | Nein | ||||
| f.) that people convicted of serious crimes lose their citizen rights [dass Menschen, die wegen schwerer Verbrechen verurteilt wurden, ihre Bürgerrechte verlieren] | Nein | Four subjects (TP 05, TP 07, TP 10, TP 13) indicate that they have difficulty finding the correct scale value to express that they do not want "people to lose their civil rights“:

| g.) that long-term residents of a country, who are not citizens, have the right to vote in that country’s national elections [dass Menschen, die schon lange in einem Land leben, aber dort nicht eingebürgert sind, das Recht haben, bei nationalen Wahlen abzustimmen] | Nein | The test persons use the entire scale width. Only one test person (TP 03) answers with "Can't say" and justifies his answer by saying that he wants to abstain from this statement. The term "national elections" is not interpreted by the test persons in the intended sense (national elections in different countries), but in the sense of "elections within Germany". The test persons think of very different elections (or combinations of elections). They are called the Bundestag elections (4 nominations), Bundestag and local elections (4 nominations), Bundestag and state elections (4 nominations), Bundestag and European elections (1 nomination), district or local elections (2 nominations) and all elections in Germany (5 nominations) The choices made in Germany are the frame of reference for the respondents when answering the item, although this is not necessarily means that the Answers of the test persons are only valid for Germany. The interviews do not provide any indications that the test persons have a different attitude to voting rights in other countries (see findings on the question as a whole). Problematic, however, is the finding that three test persons explicitly think of local elections and not national (i.e. nationwide) elections when answering the item. Their answers would be quite different if they were to interpret the item in the intended sense:
|
|||
| h.) that citizens have the right not to vote [dass Bürger das Recht haben, nicht zur Wahl zu gehen] | Nein | ||||
| i.) that health care be provided for everyone [dass jeder medizinische Versorgung erhält] | Nein | ||||
| Buchhaltung, Finanzen und Büro (z. B. Buchführung, HIT-Listen, Schreibverkehr für den Betrieb) | Nein | ||||
| Tierhaltung und Stallarbeit (z. B. füttern, melken, misten, Herdenmanagement) | Nein | ||||
| Feldarbeit, Acker-, Garten-, Obst- und Weinbau o. Ä. (z. B. Schlepper fahren, pflanzen, Pflegearbeiten, ernten, Bestandskontrolle) | Nein |
