The purpose of the following study is to illuminate and explain the causes for the so called "poor" results of one high school regarding students' influence, as measured by the Malmö City High School Survey of 2005. The study's foundation lies in the term "students' influence" and how it is interpreted by the school's various interest groups. The report provides an overview of previously conducted research in the field of students' influence, as well as the results of the Malmö City High School Survey of 2005. By means of qualitative interviews with teachers and students of a Malmö High School, we wanted to investigate if there are any differences between the various groups' interpretations of the term "students' influence", and if such a difference could explain the survey results. As a summary, it can be safely stated that students' influence is not a unanimous term, but is very differently interpreted between and within the groups interviewed. This is indicative of the survey results of 2005 not being completely reliable, since the students' survey answers do not necessarily correspond to the intentions of the questionnaire.
