The study of Familienleitbilder (FLB) conducted in 2012 collected personal and social principles (‘leitbilder’) in a standardised way. For this purpose, new items were designed which measure individual ideas of what family life usually or ideally looks like and which of them can be aggregated into leitbilder. In addition, an access was created to record social leitbilder in a standardised way. To this end, each respondent was asked to assess how ‘the general public’ would respond to the items that had previously been answered personally. In this sense, most items on a personal level were ‘mirrored’ for the societal level. The quality of the data was ensured by both various control measures and by preliminary and follow-up examinations. In the process, the concept has proven to be valid.
