About AOI  2014

The 2014 Arab Opinion Index is the third annual survey of Arab public opinion carried out by the Arab Center for Research and Policy Studies. In 2011, the survey was carried out in 12 Arab countries, and relied on a total survey sample of 16,192 respondents who participated through face-to-face interviews. For the 2012/2013 survey, a sample size of 20,372 respondents across 14 countries was used to gather the results. The countries covered in this survey were: Yemen, Kuwait, Iraq, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt, Sudan, Libya, Algeria, Tunisia, Morocco and Mauritania. The total sample size for the 2014 Arab Opinion Index was thus 26,618 respondents:

these include 21,152 respondents in the 14 countries reported above, and a further 5,466 Syrian Refugees and Internally Displaced Persons. The Syrian Refugees were Located across refugee camps and other population centers in Lebanon, Jordan and Turkey, while the Syrian IDPs were located along the Syrian-Turkish frontier. Sampling for each sample was done using a randomized, stratified, multi-stage, self-weighted clustered approach, and provided a margin of error of between 2% and 3% for each population group.
