Abstract
Incoherencies in the Time Data for Linen Sowing-Knitting Activities in a “Life Styles” Survey. In INSEE's “Modes de Vie (1988-1989)” life styles survey, whose objective is to quantify household activities, the comparison of two estimations of time spent on different activities for a non-negligible number of households, showed the data was incoherent. This article, which limits itself to the study of knitting and needle-work activities, based on the data files of the linen-sowing-knit ting sector of the survey, gives an explanation of the existence of these incoherencies. Survey Incoherence and Errors, Effect of Imposing a Problematique, Memory, Quantification, Data Consistency.
