Great Sites – Quality Research Panel Audited

Friday, November 30th, 2012

Great Sites Members

An independent panel responder audit was recently carried out by one of Great Sites partners to ascertain the reliability of Great Sites members for research projects.

Both the Australian and New Zealand sites delivered honest and accurate responses to a range of questions in a survey structured to detect low quality paternalist responses.

The survey tested;

  1. Thought Consistency, opposing statements are presented for agreement/disagreement
  2. Answer Consistency, asking the same question in different ways
  3. Top Box responses, checking people are not just ticking the top answer
  4. Speeders, checking speed of survey completion is ‘normal’

Great Sites members complete a range of quality controls during and post signup and complete a full detailed profile and interest survey.

Great Sites offers researchers a trusted panel. More Information

Kiwi’s more confident on winning RWC

Wednesday, July 6th, 2011

Through its own permission database Great Sites, with over 500,000 members we polled the attitude of Australians and New Zealanders towards the Rugby World Cup (RWC), to be held beteween 9 September and 23 October this year.

In Australia, 38% thought Australia would win the Rugby World Cup but in New Zealand this number was a massive 68%. Runner up for Australia was New Zealand, but across the Tasman members believed South Africa to be second most likely to win. Both countries support their national teams and support was around the 85% mark. More people in Australia supported New Zealand than vice versa, these could be  New Zealanders living in Australia.

Around 10% of our NZ members responded that they would attend any of the RWC games, whereas in Australia this was less than 1%. Majority of people (AU: 43%, NZ: 65%) will follow the event on TV. The newspaper was the next most popular medium, followed by online and radio.

When we asked if there should be a limit about players from one country playing for another nation, attitudes were similar: The majority (55%) believes people should only play for their own country,  with only around 20% thinking players should be allowed to switch teams.

Fieldwork was conducted between 1 – 7 July, sample size for Australia was n=665 and for New Zealand n=511. Contact us today to ask about online data collection in Australia and New Zealand. Totals do not add up to 100% because only top 5 choices are shown in graph.

Sons spending big for Mother’s Day

Wednesday, May 11th, 2011

A poll by Great Research showed that men were almost twice as likely to spend more than $100 on Mother’s Day as women. A total of 5424 people were surveyed nationwide between 4 and 11 May. Most respondents answered they would spend between $20 and $50 on the occasion. Older age groups were less inclined to spend money, and more likely to answer they would cook or agree with “money can’t buy love, a kiss will do just fine!”
