Survey For Thesis: Your Help Is Appreciated

[Пушкарева]

I need help of those who are currently in Uzbekistan and can help collecting data for my research (I am currently abroad). I would also appreciate responsiveness of those who are outside of Uzbekistan, but can ask their family and/or friends to fill in the questionnaire. Respondents should live in Uzbekistan. The research is on Uzbek women: their social and economic status and paid and unpaid labor. I need to get at least 35-40 responses.

Attached is the Russian questionnaire. You can forward it via e-mail or distribute in hard copy.

PS: I made the poll public to see who is willing to help. After I identify volunteers, I will cooperate with them in private.

Thank you.

ok :D...it seems smth fun :cool:

[Demir Kağan]

Answer the poll please. Details to come. Nothing scary or has to do with politics. So please vote. I'll post the research details pretty soon.

Nezabudka xonim, if we knew the subject, it'd be better for us and we can vote with knowledge.

[Пушкарева]

I know, sorry. I just added the info. I need to know who can help.

Nezabudka xonim, if we knew the subject, it'd be better for us and we can vote with knowledge.

[Demir Kağan]

Respondents should be people living in Uzbekistan.

So I think we can't help, right?

[Пушкарева]

Seems like no :( unless you have responsible friends in Uzb who are able to take the kind of thing serious and help.

But thank you anyways. You and another responsive non-uzbek guy above.

Have some Uzbek friends. I'll try to help sister. ;)

[Unique]

Nezabudka, post the survey. I'll try to send it to ppl in Uzb.

[Пушкарева]

I will post the Russian version by tonight. The Uzbek one is pending dad's translation. As soon as I get it, I'll post it too.

Thank you guys!! I am feeling better now, otherwise it seemed so unrealistic.

Nezabudka, post the survey. I'll try to send it to ppl in Uzb.

[Prince]

NEZABUDKA ,
i like your thesis and i was willing to help you , but once i opened your word document , i was schocked! :( too many questions and too detailed questions, i dont thing that anyone willing to answer to those questions, If you can make it really simple, easy to answer and finally it should not take you more then 10-15 mins to complete!
Thanks

[dauphin]

Ne anketa a dopros...

[Пушкарева]

Well, it seems complicated at first.

Section 1 and 2 should take 10-15 to answer. There is no need to provide names or any contact information, but I would very much ask not to skip any questions so that I have enough of data to evaluate the social and economic well-being. I need to see whether the income, level of education or employment status impact people's work intesity.

Section 3 will take 1 full day. Its not that tough, just briefly recording the activity in one or couple of words. Filling in the questionnaire might be interesting for women and men themselves.

Come on now, help me people!

Be advised that this is a public poll: other users can see the choice(s) you selected.
why? :lol:

Budka, too detailed, too time consuming to send to uzb..

[Пушкарева]

The poll is public, because I need to see who can help and remain in touch with the people further.

You all blame the difficult situation back home, but how do you imagine changing it if you dont wanna move your a** a bit??

I am not saying that because you find the particular survey too detailed or time-consuming or because its mine. I mean it in general: how do you want to improve anything remaining so laid back and indifferent? It is our national problem - uzbeks are too laid back to change their situation.

i did not get your point?

r u ok, miss?

[Пушкарева]

I am pretty well. If you did not, ask someone to help you.

/me waits for the Uzbek version.

[StU]

Dear,

you should also give the email adress to recieve the responses.
I'll try to send to my friends, but I cannot guarantee their participation.

My tip: it'd better to complete an online-survey. It is easier and not much time-consuming. A friend of mine did such a survey when she wrote her master thesis.

now that is too much. :D

-You all blame the difficult situation back home, but how do you imagine changing it if you dont wanna move your a** a bit??
- how do you know that i do not do anything to change the situation?
Any proofs for blaming?
Or it is only you who is moving her nice part of body a little bit/or may be a lot to improve something?

I am not saying that because you find the particular survey too detailed or time-consuming or because its mine. I mean it in general: how do you want to improve anything remaining so laid back and indifferent? It is our national problem - uzbeks are too laid back to change their situation

The same thing about indifference.
If your questionnaire is not resumable, is it the fault of other users who noticed it?

It is you who asked for a help. Should that be your responce towards people who told their opinion?



PS. Girl, i ask you second time to carry out a normal conversation. i do hope that you can :P

[Пушкарева]

If you provide me with the emails of your friends/family, I would contact them. COuld you guarantee participation of your mom, dad and a sister please? :)

Lost: I have already told taht to you in private: you should just ignore me and my posts if you have troubles communicating with Nezabudka.

Demir Kagan: Thank you. It is comign very soon. Tomorrow or the day after. Dad is working at it. I will PM you an English version: just for you to get a sense what's going on.

Guarantee? :rolleyes: Well I cannot force them, but I'll kindly ask my aunt, sis, mom and dad. May be you can try also with out Institute mates - you already know them - Zulya, Sasha for example.

[Пушкарева]

Are in in Uzbekistan at the moment? Please gimme their contacts (active emails) and I will pursue them myself. I am enhaging all my friends and family too :)

I want to capture people of different ethnic backgrounds, economic and social well-being and status in the households.

For example, it would be interesting to compare daily work intensity of young married uzbek female with her non-uzbek peer. Or identify the difference between the scope of work of people from lower income households with those better off and etc.

Ponimaesh? Eto je interesno. I zaymyot tolko 1 den cheloveka. You should not force your family, of course, just explain them adequately what it is.

[Пушкарева]

For those people who agreed to help me. Please use the below text, just copy and paste it when mailing together with the below questionnaire to your friends and families. I am trying to minimize your hussles with my survey.

Thank you very much.

Здравствуйте,

Меня зовут Зухра и в настоящее время я пишу диссертацию в Соединенных Штатах. Я обращаюсь к вам с просьбой заполнить анонимную анкету для моего научного исследования.

Идея исследования заключается в измерении интенсивности труда женщин в Узбекистане . Я поставила перед собой задачу выяснить какие изменения произошли в (трудовой) жизни женщин Узбекистана в переходный период:
- Как изменился объем их работы по стравнению с советским периодом;

- Где женщины в основном заняты - продуктивном (рынок оплачиваемого труда) или репродуктивном (неоплачиваемый труд дома, в семье) секторе:

- Насколько социально-экономическая разница (материальный доход, уровень образования, здоровье, семейный статус и дл.) оказывают влияние на интесивность работы женщин.

Данное исследование является основным комлонентом моей диссертации. На первый взгляд анкета может показаться объемной и сложной, но внимательное изучение инструкций может убедить в противоположном. Анкета потребует всего 1 день вашего внимания и необходимо будет записывать ваши занятия на протяжении дня.

Пожалуйста прочтите инструкции нижеприведенной анкеты. Если у вас возникнут какие-либо вопросы, пишиту мне на zukhra.ikram@gmail .com . Исследование довольно безобидного характера, анонимное, не требует ваших контактных данных и будет использовано лишь в целях моей диссертационной работы. Полученные данные будут проанализированны в общем порядке, а результаты предоставлены в моей диссертации.

Исследование ограничено во времени и я была бы очень признательна, если вы не замедлите с ответом, а также распространите анкеты среди своих друзей и родственников. Пожалуйста, прищлите мне заполненные анкеты до 15 марта 2007 года.

Искренне надеюсь на вашу отзывчивость.

С уважением ,

Зухра

*mini*, Arhimed, crescent, NozChik, Prince, Queen, Serene, Shirin_Qiz, Studentin - if any of you could ensure at least responses (your parents, for example) in Tashkent, I would already have 18 answers (!) Could you do that?

Arhimed, Shirin_Qiz and Quenn - would you give me your emails please?

Nezabudka, I am waiting for my friend to come. After she comes, I'll explain her what you explained to me and will want her to help. ;)

[Unique]

Nezabudka I've already sent it to my sister, and she was supposed to spread it to the whole of her office, and to another person, too. Now it's up to them. Once they complete it, I'll send them to you right a way. Good Luck!

[Пушкарева]

Serene, thank you darling. My respect to you. One thing with research is that you have to buzz the people, otherwise they will forget or just leave it in the inbox. May I ask you to send them a kind reminder later, please?

Demir, is your friend in Uzb? Respondents should be residing in the country.

[Пушкарева]

Hold on. If you are in Uzbekistan and you are a stay-home person - go ahead and fill it too. Its not about measuring work intensity of formally employed people, but of all. Housewives (who work a lot!), pensioners, those on maternity leave, etc.

Criteria: people should be in Uzbekistan and 15 years and older. Preferably 2 people per household of opposite sexes.

[Пушкарева]

Thank you darling. It is a matter of sender's attitude to the survey and receiver's perception of it. That is - could you please buzz them couple of times for their responses. I will post what I got from one woman. It seemed very easy to her.

haha same here. u menya sestra okazca ochen' zanyata s drakoy so svoim bossom.
Nezabudka I keep reminding them though. ;)
PS. your last e-mail didn't encode :(
PPS. I'll try to fill it out over the weekend.

[Пушкарева]

This is what I got today. It seems not that bad for a person to fill it out :rolleyes: The only thing, she did not indicated the minutes, so I had to mail it back asking to fill in the spots. Otherwise, she provided what I needed.

Just for you to see that it is not THAT DETAILED, as strikes people first. I.e. the person does not need to provide the very details of his/her occupation, income, etc.

у меня конечно не очень интересный день .. но это по будням .. и не всегда . вот если бы надо было описывать выходные :-) было бы намного интересней .. потому что у нас и теннис и базар .. и стирка и ужин с друзьями
хорошего тебе дня


PS: Serene, are you in the Uzb right now? Only those living in Uzbekistan are eligible. sorry..

Dear NeZaBudkA, at present time I'm in Uzbekistan and I'd love to help you in your thesis. I've saved your doc to my PC, as soon as the questionnarie is ready I'll send it to your box. Regards...

[Пушкарева]

Thank you Malika. What is the best way for you to spread the questionnaires - electronic or in paper? If in paper, I might ask my sister to provide you with the printed copies so that you dont bear any printing costs.

I appreciate your help.

I appreciate your help.

Dear NeZaBudkA, I'll use both ways - electronic and printed version. And you do not need to ask your sister to provide me with printed copies. Cause when I help someone that means I'm ready to do everything for him (or her). Even if I do not know this person. :)

[Пушкарева]

Thanks Gooood!! This morning I got 5 questionnaires in my e-box. All of them are from my sister's friends and coworkers. Hope soon I'll be getting aswers from your contacts too :).

MalikaN, mini, Vectra - thank you very much!!!

PS: Vectra, provide your vote under "i am abroad, but can help" please :)

[Пушкарева]

People, my sample is outweighted by female respondents (9 females vs. 2 males). Please help me reaching men :)

Also to minimize the bias, I would appreciate if you spread the questionnaire among people with low income as well. I.e. so far I am getting responses of well to do friends, which is not reflective of the reality.

Thank you.

[Пушкарева]

I have 26 responses :bounce:

Thank you Malika!! Vectra, hope your friend will answer too. :)

[Пушкарева]

Big thanks to Vectra and Nexochuxa!!

[Пушкарева]

I wanted to thank all those who helped me with the survey. As of today, I have 40 responses and that exceeds my expectations!!! :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: Thanks God!!!

If any of you gets responses of family/friends, please forward them to me. But otherwise, there is no more need to distribute the questionnaires!!!

[Пушкарева]

Now, I need you to provide YOUR OWN perspective of what qualities should an "ideal" uzbek woman possess. Please limit your answer to few sentences that mention her personal qualities, skills, religiousity, education and employment. You can either provide an ideal image of mother or a wife-to-be.

Just a brief paragraph from you (girls can also respond) and please indicate your age, education level, sex and current location. You can make up a name if you want.

Thank you.

NB: For God's sake - no fights please. There are similar threads in the MND section for that. What I need here are few clear and short answers.

[Пушкарева]

Guys, here is what you helped me with. (Juts a portion of what I've collected :) )

Thank you very much! :bounce:

[Пушкарева]

65 pages so far. about 25 pages of attachments and 10 pages of conclusion and recomendations are to be added. :burning: the requirement was 50 pages :?

btw, in the methodology section, i mentioned the forum and help that i got from its members :)

thank you guys once again.

I have no moderator rights on this section, sorry.
Actually there's no need to delete, just unstick it and that's all, because it's not that important now as the survey is over, that's it... nothing personal.
