neutral  Kcda: I believe "deviations" is on the right track judging via a word by word approach. I can't therefore +1. :)

agree  Teresa Reinhardt: if you google for ausschläge and Statistik, you'll see that they are talking about deviations, also called outliers (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outlier)

survey outcomes


Explanation:
ausschlagen can mean "to turn out", so I wonder if thus just means the "survey outcomes" or findings/results

survey factors


Explanation:
I've just seen Claire's answer as I post mine, and I agree with it but I'll add my comments too. I think this relates to the sort of questions that ask "What was the most important factor [was hat den Ausschlag gegeben?] in your decision to purchase X (or whatever). It is the time taken to score these that is time-consuming.

I'm not at all sure that "survey factors" is the right term, but the idea to be got across is that these are the decision-making factors underlying a person's decision.

Neben der verstärkten Beobachtung erscheint es sinnvoll, eine vertiefende Untersu-
chung zum Gegenstand „Kinder und Talkshows“ durchzuführen. Die Ergebnisse der Be-
fragung verweisen nicht nur auf eine Akzeptanz des Genres beim älteren Kinderpubli-
kum, sie machen außerdem deutlich, daß Themen, Gäste, Moderation und Gesprächs-
stil eine Rolle dafür spielen, wie sich Kinder zu Talkshows stellen. Eine kleinere Unter-
suchung, die auch eine Analyse der Angebotsseite beinhaltet, könnte klären, worauf die
Kinder in den jeweiligen Sendungen stoßen und was den Ausschlag für ihre Urteile gibt.
