Do you know anyone with an obsession?

30 25 20 15 10 5 0 Yes No

24 of the 30 people we asked said they knew someone with an obsession. This was helpful for us as it proved that there was a large amount of people for us to interview and enough of a variation of obsessions for us to investigate.

Do you have an obsession?

20 18 16 14 12 10 8 6 4 2 0 Yes No

Most people we asked said that they had an obsession themselves. This acted as a starter for whom to interview in our documentary as we could asked some of the people who filled in the questionnaire. This also meant that we could use this answer as a statistic in our documentary.

Which, if any, of these catagories does your obsession fall into?

10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 N/A Music Fashion Animals TV Other

People were most obsessed with a musician or band, although a large proportion of people also chose other, when asked to specify the obsessions were either sports or cleaning. This shows us which obsessions are more common and also gave us an idea of what other obsession categories there are to cover.

Do you think your obsession is common?

18 16 14 12 10 8 6 4 2 0 Yes No N/A

4 people thought that their obsession was not common; this would help our documentary as we plan to have a section in it about severe/unusual obsessions.

How long have you had your obsession?

12 10 8 6 4 2 0 Less than a year 1-3 years 4-7 years 8-10 years 10+ years N/A

The length a person has had their obsession helps us gain more knowledge about obsessions and therefore gains us more information about people who have obsessions. 10 people said that they have had their obsession for 1-3 years, this indicates that this is a new and possible minor obsession such as liking a particular band more than another. 6 people said that they have had their obsession for 10+ years indicating that this is a more severe obsession such as cleaning or other obsessive compulsive disorders.

Has your obession ever caused an argument?

16 14 12 10 8 6 4 2 0 Yes No N/A

14 people also said that their obsession has caused an argument. This would also be a good topic to include in our documentary and could investigate things such as people losing friends or family due to arguments about their obsession.

20 18 16 14 12 10 8 6 4 2 0 Yes No N/A
