2. Gender
Having almost an even amount
of people from both genders
take my survey will help me
with my later questions as I
will be able to see clearly how
they react to each question.
By filtering my results, I
have noticed that in my
survey the gender has
almost no effect on
whether or not they know
anyone homeless. My
results point in the
direction of making a
neutral poster, as
opposed to targeting one
particular gender.
3. Age
The majority of the people
that took my survey are
aged 17 or below.
With this information I am
able to filter later questions
by age, where I am able to
see that the lower the age,
the less likely they are to
have experienced anything
related to homelessness.
The age group I have to
biggest interest in terms
of the results of each
question is 18-24.
I am looking to be able
to find out where they
would go if they ended
up homeless, and if this
is different to those that
are only slightly
younger, but not adults.
4. Knowing of anyone that has
experienced homelessness
As you can see, of those that are
18-24, 1 in 4 know of someone
that has experienced
homelessness.
For those aged 0-17, 0 of 10
know of someone who has
experienced homelessness.
This is likely to be because these
age groups spend the majority of
their time with those of the same
age, and people that are 0-17 are
much less likely to be thrown out
of their home for familial reasons
or experience issues with money.
18-24 0-17
5. Where you would go if you were
homeless
This graph shows that of all
that answered the question,
every single one of them
would like to think they would
go to a friends house if they
were to become homeless.
This is most likely because the
majority of the people that
answered my survey were
under the age of 18.
6. Are you aware of the help available to
homeless people?
This graph shows that almost half
the people that responded are
unaware of the help available to
homeless people. These means
some homelessness campaigns
may not be reaching the intended
audiences.
7. If you knew someone that was
experiencing homelessness, would you
change your opinion on it?
This graph shows that even if the
respondents knew someone that
was experiencing homelessness,
they most likely would not change
their opinion on it. I believe this
shows that peoples opinions on it
are already very strong because of
how homelessness is portrayed so
negatively by the media, and the
majority would like to believe they
will never find themselves in such
a position.
8. Do you believe there is enough help
for homeless teenagers?
This graph shows that over 82% of
the people that took my survey do
not believe there is enough help
for homeless teenagers. This is
most likely because as I said
earlier, the campaigns may not be
reaching the correct age
groups, and the majority are
clearly unaware of charities such
as SASH.
9. Would you help a homeless person?
This graph shows that over
62% percent of the people that
took my survey believe they
would help a homeless person
if given the chance. I believe
this is likely a result of the
young age of the
respondents, but shows that
there is some empathy there.
10. When you see a homeless person, do
you think you subconsciously prejudge
them?
This graph shows that the
amount of people that believe
they subconsciously prejudge
homeless people when they see
them in the streets is an equal
amount.
11. This graph shows that over half of
the people that took my survey
believe they would donate to a
charity if the opportunity arose. I
believe the percentage is based
around the amount of money their
families may have.
