I am completing my thesis at Haaga-Helia University of Applied Sciences, on the topic “Changes in Investor Attitudes towards Investing Due to the War in Ukraine”.
The purpose of this survey is to ascertain how the war, which began with Russia’s attack on Ukraine on February 24, 2022, may have affected investors’ attitudes towards investing. My thesis has no external commissioner, and the survey results will be used solely for my thesis.
The survey consists of 18-19 questions, and answering them will take approximately 5-10 minutes. If you are responding to the survey on a mobile device, please hold the device horizontally to ensure you can read all questions completely. Mandatory questions are marked with an asterisk (*).
No personal data will be collected in the survey. Research data and results will be handled confidentially. The final research results will be reported in a way that individual responses cannot be linked to specific respondents.
Please respond to the survey via this link: Survey is not available
(If the link does not work, please copy it to your browser’s address bar.)
I will keep the survey open until Friday, October 21, 2022.
-The respondent group consists entirely of those who visit this forum (I have not published the survey elsewhere).
-The completed thesis (and the survey results) will eventually be published in Theseus, which compiles theses from various universities of applied sciences:
It’s difficult to answer question 6, “how much has the value of your investment portfolio increased/decreased during 2022,” as my service provider, OP, doesn’t calculate it directly. Perhaps it would be good to have an “I don’t know” answer option for this. The survey is also open for several days when the stock market is open, so those who answer on different days may potentially skew the results. Then there’s the obvious fact that the value of an investment portfolio fluctuates depending on whether the investor buys or sells stocks. Is the intention to ask about portfolio returns?
Question 17 assumes that attitudes towards investing would have changed, even though in question 15, one can answer that their attitude has not changed.
The fifth point of question 19 assumes that the respondent is contemplating investing.
Hello @Juippi, thank you for your questions and comments.
-For question 6, an estimate is sufficient as an answer, which is why the answer options are so broad.
-The main goal of the survey is not to determine respondents’ market success this year, but whether their attitude towards investing has potentially changed.
-Answer options can no longer be added once the survey has been published and responses have been received.
-The survey is open for only one week, so I do not believe responses given on different days will distort the results.
-Different questions overlap in some places, especially when determining attitudes towards investing, but I managed to keep the number of questions to what I consider reasonable.
-Question 19 asks for the respondent’s opinion on different statements. If the respondent has no opinion on a statement, they can answer “neither agree nor disagree” or “I don’t know.”
