Attitudes Daily

Introduction

The attitudes_daily table is a Telemetry instantiation of user responses to the Daily Attitudes Survey (DAS) over time. It is joined to clients_daily using client_id and submission_date.

Contents

Most Firefox surveys are point-in-time without longitudinal insights. The DAS is completed by ~300 Firefox users every day, allowing us to measure long term attitudinal trends combined with users' corresponding Telemetry attributes.

Accessing the Data

The attitudes_daily table is accessible through STMO using the Telemetry (BigQuery) data source. The full table name is moz-fx-data-shared-prod.telemetry.attitudes_daily.

Here's an example query (STMO#163424).

Data Reference

The DAS shows the user the following four statements, all having the same possible responses of "Agree", "Disagree" or "Neutral or not sure". Each question has an identifier in the attitudes_daily table as the question_keyfield (shown in parentheses after each statement below)

  • The internet is open and accessible to all (internet_accessible)
  • I trust Firefox to help me with my online privacy (trust_firefox)
  • All the sites I’ve visited recently have worked; none of them seem broken (sites_work)
  • Using the internet helped me meet my goals today (met_goals)

User responses are processed and mapped to their question_key's in this script, creating a table moz-fx-data-shared-prod.external.survey_gizmo_daily_attitudes which is subsequently joined to clients_daily.

Example Queries

Distribution of user responses to "The internet is open and accessible to all" over time

SELECT
    submission_date,
    value,
    count(DISTINCT client_id) as n
FROM `moz-fx-data-shared-prod.telemetry.attitudes_daily`
WHERE
    question_key = 'internet_accessible'
    AND value IS NOT NULL
GROUP BY 1, 2

Distribution of responses to "I was able to get what I wanted from using the Internet today" by default search engine.

SELECT
    value,
    CASE
      WHEN STARTS_WITH(default_search_engine, 'google') THEN 'Google'
      WHEN STARTS_WITH(default_search_engine, 'ddg') THEN 'DuckDuckGo'
      WHEN STARTS_WITH(default_search_engine, 'bing') THEN 'Bing'
      ELSE 'Other'
    END AS search_engine,
   count(*) AS n
FROM
    `moz-fx-data-shared-prod.telemetry.attitudes_daily`
WHERE
    question_key = 'met_goals'
    AND value IS NOT NULL
    AND submission_date > DATE_SUB(CURRENT_DATE, INTERVAL '7' DAY)
GROUP BY 1, 2
