oogpunt van 'n kulturele of sosiale groep wat die onderwerp van die studie vorm. Die doel van die studie
was om die gebruik van huishoudelike tegnologie deur Swazi families en hulle ondervinding daarmee te
dokumenteer en analiseer. Die fokus van analise was op mikro vlak. 'n Gekombineerde steekproef
(N=1449) was saamgestel uit Swazi dames (N=810) en Swazi mans (N=639). Die Swazi families het die
navorsings projek van inligting voorsien oor kwessies wat verband hou met die aanvaarding van
huishoudelike tegnologie. Om die navorsings kwessies aangaande huishoudelike tegnologie te ondersoek
was 'n etniese verbruikersraamwerk saamgestel wat uit die volgende vier elemente bestaan het naamlik: Die
Swazi se Kulturele Konteks, Modernisering in die Swazi Konteks, Toenemende Verbruikersorientasie en
die Tegnologiese Konteks.
