Wayfinding_Survey

Repository for the data and the analysis of the Kantar Health Infratest Survey conducted in December 2015. This was a self-report telephone survey of a cross-sectional sample of the German population. The original sample was N = 1003, of those 783 had a complete data set. Individuals were asked about their income, education, gender, age and where they lived. They were then given a modified version of the Wayfinding Scale (Lawton 1994), based on their preferred method of travel, as well as a few questions about whether they get lost in large multi-level buildings. Finally, persons were asked about the presence of vertigo and how well their sense of balance is.

Using linear regression models, the influence on sociodemographics and balance on the use of the route or the orientation strategy was assessed in this population.
