Surveys

The appendix of my project contains the two surveys that I made with its questions and answers, its corresponding graphics and also an interpretation that I made of both of them. So, for you to see what the results were, I am going to show you my interpretations of the surveys.

Survey about action protocol

In this survey, most of the participants were woman and young people. In general, all the answers have been pretty correct, as they were not so difficult to understand and normally we would all deduce the right option or the right thing to do in case of an emergency even if we do not really know every single rule of protocols accurately. However, there has been some confusion or lack of knowledge in certain questions that were asked, such as knowing what the first thing to do when detecting a fire is. On the contrary, there are other questions in which people seem to be more confident and they really know the answer, such as knowing what the first step to do would be in case of being the emergency chief. To finish, almost everyone has said that the most important thing to do while doing an evacuation is to control that there is nobody left, and almost anyone has said that making sure that the doors remain closed would be the most relevant one.

There is not really a correct answer, as I just wanted to know their personal opinion, but with these answers I can see that people give a lot more importance to people’s acts and survival than to the buildings and possible consequences of not securing them.

Survey about social protocol

This survey has been mainly answered by women and people of a young age. First of all, I wanted to know their opinion, so I asked them what their favourite topic was between the three that were given. The most chosen topic was black tie, and most of the people have answered correctly the questions about it. The less chosen topic was about wedding etiquette, and unsurprisingly most of the people chose the wrong answers about it. The other one was about table manners, and mostly both of the questions that were presented to them have been well answered. Unlike the previous survey, there has been a lot of variation between the percentages of the answers in this one. In some of them, people seem to be really sure about a certain option, as we see in the one that talks about the dispersion of the cutlery. In other questions, however, there has been more doubt, as we see in the one that talks about the characteristics of the tailcoat. In conclusion, I also wanted to know if they followed social rules or were interested in them, and principally people have answered that they liked knowing the rules and applying them in their lives.
