Collection methodology

The survey was conducted among a sample of 1,000 people, representative of the French population aged 18 and over.

The representativeness of the sample was ensured by the quota method, based on the following criteria:

– socio-demographic (gender, age) ;

– socio-professional (occupation) ;

– geographic (region, size of urban unit).

These quotas were defined on the basis of Insee data for the population aged 18 and over residing in metropolitan France (Insee RP 2018).

Interviews were carried out by online self-administered questionnaire from February 11 to 12, 2026.
