Umm so in order to protest your sexist survey design i have answered the hair washing question, thereby confounding your quantitative data HAHA!!
Oh and i shower more then once a day in the summerr when it is really hot out, but that seemed information which would be outside the parameters of the question... so i checked once a day rather then other, as this is the more generally aplicable answer..
That is exactly why interviewing is a much better form of social research then surveying.
I put down what I guessed to be the average answer for me. Sometimes I shower every day (it was 2-3 times a day to deal with the heat & humidity in SE Asia), sometimes I'm a lazy bitch and only shower about 3-4 times a week.
Usually I wash my hair whenever I'm in the shower (it feels weird not to), but sometimes I simply don't feel like being wet or being cold, so I'll wash just my hair over the tub with the hand-shower thing (and mostly as a social compulsion than personal desire because it looks more greasy than is normally acceptable).
As a man I find the lack of male hairwashing options sexist. There are those males in the community who have hair longer than most females and thus have to spend copious amounts of time washing, conditioning, moisturizing, and detangling as well. :P
This is fairly seasonal for me, really. When it's the summer, I shower every day, because otherwise I feel really icky. In the winter, I shower every other day, because if I do it every day, I feel dried out and icky.
Blah blah blah, sexist hair-washing, blah blah blah. Whatever! I bring the real issues. Like what's the difference between every other day and three-four times a week? ;) And yet...you got answers for both, so who the hell am I to pick nits? ;)
You DO realize, I hope, that the three or four times a week might not be spaced out so that it is equivalent to every other day. They might take two showers one day because they're, say, conducting a genocide against crabgrass, and then stay clean enough afterward by lounging about the house that they don't take one again for three days. ;)
every other day means literally that... so you shower mon, wed, fri, sun, tue, thurs...
3-4 times a week would mean something like you shower every monday, weds, and friday morning.. and maybe sat or sunday if you happen to be going out one of those days.
is this one of those cases where you're supposed to evaluate each of the choices and just pick the "first" or "closest" or "most restrictive" match? ;)
if my sister answered this, it would be at least twice a day, sometimes 3 or 4...depending on if she did sports or anything like that. she HAS to take one right when she wakes up, and one right before she goes to bed. she also has pajamas that are ONLY worn while in bed, and then clothes she puts on after the shower, then her going out of the house clothes.......
