CG Survey meaning code
The well-being criteria given by the participants of the homogenous groups can be used to build surveys. The concept behind is to have a survey measuring the well-being levels of a population, with the questions coming from their own criteria of well-being.
In order to build the survey form, you must first arrange the criteria together in order to write questions which will summarise many of them. For this there are two steps:
- Attribute a category of meaning to each criteria, dimension per dimension
- Write for all the criteria having the same category a question to summarise them, which will be used in the survey
This page enables you to attribute a meaning category. To do this, we may either use the categories - which is a simplified version of the meaning code, when there are only few criteria to categorize. Or we may use the full meaning code to help sort huge quantities of criteria to build the questions.

SPIRAL considers that any criteria can be formulated in two ways: positive (as in "I practice sports regularly") or negative (as in "I rarely practice sports"). While the criteria can be written positively or negatively, SPIRAL will use to write the survey's questions a negative formulation while being in the categories of the bottom of the scale (possibility, obtention) and a positive formulation while being in the top categories (quality, sustainability).
- P-- Possibility: This category defines a very unsatisfactory situation, namely a situation where not only one can not get or do something, but also where one is prevented to do so, for instance in "There is no time nor facilities for me to practice sports in". Be careful, the criteria in possibility can also have a positive formulation: "There is time and facilities for me to practice sports".
- O-- Obtention: This is the most often used category, whenever the criteria just mentions an object, or the simple fact of being, having, doing something, when there is no mention of condition or quality. It defines an unsatisfactory condition, like "I practice sports only very occasionally". Be careful again the criteria can be written either with a positive or a negative formulation.
- Q-- Quality: This category defines a good situation, in which there are qualities added to the object, like in "I practice a sport that I like a lot" or "To achieve the black belt". Here the criteria can also state a lack of quality, like in "I don't make any progress in sports" and the question will be written with a positive formulation.
- S-- Sustenability: This category defines an ideal situation, that is to have, besides the object, guarantees of keeping it, of renewal, of maintenance on the long term, like in "I have a guaranteed access to local sport facilities". Please note that there also the criteria can have a negative fornulation.
- R-- Opposition: every survey has underlying values. This category means to be used for criteria that differ from SPIRAL's, like "I don't like sports and avoid any exercising". This category gives the opportunity to interrogated persons to signify that they don't recongnize themselves in the questions they've been asked.
