Survey on young people’s film preferences
CIMS (UGent) is collaborating with several European institutions to conduct a survey on young people's film preferences across Europe, led and constructed mainly by researchers at the University of Jyväskylä (JYU). Our role in this project involves gathering insights into what films and TV series young individuals aged 12 to 24 prefer, spanning secondary schools and universities. We aim to collect at least 500 responses from each participating country, ensuring a diverse sample representing different genders, residences, and cultural backgrounds. The survey covers topics such as preferred genres, favourite films, and basic demographic information. We are committed to ethical considerations, ensuring the protection of minors and complying with GDPR regulations by not collecting any personal information, nor information that could lead to the identification of the minor. The survey will be conducted both online and on paper, with statistical and qualitative analyses applied to the collected data.
