7. Methodology
Certain questions asked for an ‘essay’ or ‘verbatim’ type of response OR brands/words
that first came to mind.
A keyword search was used to sort and rank the responses to these questions.
The results are an un-weighted sample, but are reflective of the Southern Cross Austereo
audience. SCA brands reach approximately 35% of the 10+ population and approximately
41% of the 25-54 population in the five metropolitan markets in Australia, suggesting it
would be reasonable to consider these results to be a fair if not fully balanced
representation of the opinions in these marketplaces.
Furthermore, as it is an online survey, the respondents would also be skewed towards
being ‘early adopters’ for technology, ‘trend setters’ in general and likely to be a good early
indication of brand leaders, trend setters and early adopters in general.
These research surveys conducted by Southern Cross Austereo are done so to provide a
general understanding of the opinions, interests and attitudes of the metropolitan
marketplaces only.
The results of this survey are “INDICATIVE” ONLY.
The survey was conducted by Southern Cross Austereo using its online panel
nationally.
The panel is obtained from our radio networks database under the labels of ‘Hit VIP’
on the HIT Network and ‘Music Jury’ on the MMM Network. All members of these
databases would be considered listeners to these stations.
The database contains about 200,000 members.
The is split between the Hit database and the Triple M database.
Of these members, approximately 20,000 people were invited to be part of our panel
community.
Respondents were sourced through Hit database.
Approximately 771 people completed the Personality Study. Various filters have
been placed over the data at different times.
