Project: 2320, GlobeScan®
• Representative samples of 1,000 adults per country in 23 countries
• Fieldwork conducted by telephone in developed countries and face to face in most
developing countries
• Some urban-only surveying in certain developing countries – surveys follow
generally accepted research standards in each country
• Fieldwork between July and September 2009
Where did we go
• And 15 of the 20 largest. 23 countries in all
11 of the 12 biggest countries
• For instance it covers half of China, but all of the USA
Mostly national representative–
sometimes urban
• Questions asked to half the sample each. Online only in Japan
25,000 interviews, mostly face-to-
face, or telephone
• Which means that we discriminate against the people in the larger countries
We treat countriesequally
