“Meet the Millennials” презентация

Food and Health Survey, focusing specifically on the responses of the 299 Millennials who participated.
For this report, Millennials are defined as those between the ages of 18 and 34. In addition, this report also highlights subgroup differences within the Millennial generation. These subgroups include:
Age groups (18-25, 26-29, 30-34)
Male vs. Female
Education (College grad vs. less than college)
Race/Ethnicity (White vs. minority)
Parents vs. non-parents
The survey was conducted by Greenwald & Associates, using ResearchNow’s consumer panel. Fielding took place from March 13 to March 26, 2015. The duration of the survey was 29 minutes, on average.
The results were weighted to ensure that they are reflective of the American population, as seen in the 2014 Current Population Survey. Specifically, they were weighted by age, education, gender, race/ethnicity, and region.

Those married (or living with a partner) vs. those who are not
Higher (Overweight/Obese) vs. Lower (Normal/Low) BMI
Household Income (Less than $35K, $35K-$74K, $75K or more)
Open to experiences vs. less open to experiences (constructed using the Ten-Item Personality Inventory (TIPI))

5 Personality Traits are constructed using Gosling, Rentfrow, and Swann’s (2003) Ten-Item Personality Inventory (TIPI). Please see their 2003 Journal Of Research In Personality article for more details.
