surveykokonaisuuksissa

Surveykokonaisuuksissa is a Finnish term used in scholarly writing to refer to the content found within survey packages or assemblies. It is the inessive plural form of the compound noun surveykokonaisuus, which means a coherent set of survey instruments and related procedures bundled for a research project. In English, this would correspond to “in survey packages.”

A surveykokonaisuus generally comprises several interconnected elements: questionnaire design (items, scales, and response formats), sampling plan, administration method, data collection and processing protocols, and the analytical framework for interpreting results. The plural form surveykokonaisuudet denotes multiple such packages, while surveykokonaisuuksissa specifically refers to contents or activities that exist within those packages.

In research practice, the term is used to discuss how survey instruments are organized and how they relate to the overall study aims. Descriptions may cover questions of coherence between constructs, the alignment of measurement tools with research questions, procedures for pilot testing and validation, and documentation of procedures for reliability and validity. Ethical considerations, such as privacy and informed consent, are also situated within the survey kokonaisuus.

Common usage scenarios include social sciences, market research, and educational assessments, where researchers manage multiple instruments or modules as parts of a single project. The concept emphasizes modular yet integrated design, ensuring that each survey package contributes consistently to the study’s objectives and enables comparability across instruments and waves.
