Centre for Time Use Research UK Time Use Survey, March 2023

<P>Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.</P><br><p>The Centre for Time Use Research (CTUR) Time Use Survey conducted in March 2023 is a UK representative survey of UK adults aged 18&#43; (N=2179) collected using a multi-field digital time-use diary design that corresponds to the information collected in best practice pen-and-paper designs such as the Harmonised European Time Use Survey (HETUS). A general-purpose time use survey design, incorporating multiple continuous independent diary fields, is important because it offers both continuity with historically collected time use diary data and versatility, providing data for a wide-ranging and still growing corpus of substantive research and policy applications.</p> <p>The online diary design developed at the CTUR (the Extended Light Diary Digital Instrument - ELiDDI) mimics the ‘light diary’ visually intuitive interface, and including all the fields and activities of the HETUS diary. It builds on and is compatible with the previous CaDDI online diary design used for the Centre for Time Use Research (CTUR) UK Time Use Survey 6-Wave Sequence across the COVID-19 Pandemic 2016-2021(UKDS Study ID 8741). Methodological work to date suggests that this visually intuitive design does not lead to an erosion of data quality or increased respondent burden.</p> <p>The nationally representative survey was conducted in March 2023 in a 3-way collaboration between CTUR, Dynata (a leading international market research agency conforming to the&nbsp;<span>Market Research Society's ethical code&nbsp;</span><span>who designed the digital diary interface) and the National Centre for Social Research (NatCen), who provided the UK representative sample and ran the logistics of the data collection exercise.</span></p> <p>Respondents were invited to complete 2 diaries, one on a randomly sampled weekday, one on a weekend day, recording activities, location, co-presence, device use, and enjoyment across continuous 10-minute episodes throughout the diary day. The accompanying background questionnaire collected information on the standard socio-demographic variables, and a diary day questionnaire included additional information about each diary day.</p><br><B>Main Topics</B>:<BR><br><ul><li>Full general-purpose online time use diary survey, with the same diary fields as the Harmonised European Time Use Survey (HETUS)</li><li> primary activity</li><li> secondary activity</li><li> location</li><li> co-presence</li><li> device use</li><li>enjoyment.</li></ul>本摘要版权归英国数据服务中心（UK Data Service）及数据采集版权所有者所有。 2023年3月开展的英国时间使用研究中心（Centre for Time Use Research, CTUR）时间使用调查，是针对英国18岁及以上成年人的全国代表性抽样调查（有效样本量N=2179），采用多字段数字化时间使用日记采集方案，该方案匹配《协调欧洲时间使用调查（Harmonised European Time Use Survey, HETUS）》等最佳实践纸笔日记采集的信息维度。通用型时间使用调查方案包含多个连续独立的日记字段，其优势在于既能够与历史采集的时间使用日记数据保持延续性，又具备良好的通用性，可为范围广泛且仍在不断拓展的实证研究与政策应用提供数据支撑。 英国时间使用研究中心开发的在线日记工具——轻量化日记扩展数字化工具（Extended Light Diary Digital Instrument, ELiDDI），采用视觉直观的“轻量化日记”界面，完整覆盖了HETUS日记的所有字段与活动类别。该工具基于此前用于2016-2021年新冠疫情期间英国时间使用研究中心（CTUR）6轮序列时间使用调查（英国数据服务中心研究编号UKDS Study ID 8741）的CaDDI在线日记方案开发，且与其兼容。迄今为止的方法学研究表明，这种视觉直观的设计不会造成数据质量损耗，也不会增加受访者的作答负担。 本次全国代表性调查于2023年3月开展，由英国时间使用研究中心（CTUR）、达纳塔（Dynata，一家遵循英国市场研究协会伦理准则的国际顶尖市场调研机构，负责数字化日记界面的设计）以及英国国家社会研究中心（National Centre for Social Research, NatCen，负责提供英国全国代表性抽样样本并统筹数据采集的后勤工作）三方合作完成。 受访者需完成两份日记：一份为随机抽取的工作日日记，另一份为周末日记，要求其按连续10分钟的时间片段，记录当日的活动内容、所处位置、共处人员、设备使用情况以及活动愉悦度。配套的背景问卷采集标准社会人口学变量信息，而日记日问卷则收集每份日记对应当日的额外信息。 **核心主题**： - 与《协调欧洲时间使用调查（HETUS）》采用相同日记字段的通用型全量在线时间使用日记调查 - 主要活动 - 次要活动 - 所处位置 - 共处人员 - 设备使用情况 - 活动愉悦度
