ISSP 2024: Digital Societies I, Lithuania, May - June 2025
No full textThe purpose of the study: to investigate the internet usage habits, attitudes, and behavior of Lithuanian residents in the online environment.
Major investigated questions: respondents were asked how often they used the internet in the past 12 months, on any device for work or personal purposes. The participants who did not use the internet were asked to state their reasons. They were asked how often in the last 12 months they asked someone to perform some actions for them online, such as sending an email, getting information, or making an online purchase. They were asked to what extent it is likely that someone will do this for them if they need to do something online in the near future. It was also clarified how likely they were to personally use the internet in the next 12 months. Next, respondents who used the internet in the past 12 months were asked to state how often they typically use the internet on any device at home, at work-place/ at school/ at university, and in public places. They were asked whether anyone had asked them to do something for them online in the last 12 months, such as sending an email, getting information, or making an online purchase. It was explored whether they had consciously reduced the amount of time spent online in the past 12 months. If so, they were asked to state the reason for this behavior. Next, Lithuanian residents who participated in the survey rated their abilities to perform different activities (Using the internet; Doing online searches; 4 in total). In the next block of questions, the purposes of internet use were examined (Communicating; Sharing or posting photos or videos; 6 in total). It was clarified whether respondents find it more comfortable meeting with people online than in person and whether they would feel lonely without the internet. In another block of questions, the respondents' online behavior related to searching for news or information on political issues was explored (Read, watch or listen to something online you disagree with; Check a news source that’s different from what you normally read, watch or listen to online; 3 in total). They were also asked to state how much they trust people they are communicating with on the Internet but have never met in person. It was clarified how their online communication has changed in the past 12 months with people who share their political views and with those who have different political views from their own. It was investigated how often in the past 12 months they posted, supported, or opposed political views online or on social media. Next, all respondents were presented with a block of statements about technology (Technology makes our lives easier; Overall, technology does more harm than good; 3 in total). It was intended to find out whether the respondents themselves or anyone they know personally had ever been a victim of online fraud, identity theft, or a hacking attack, or had ever experienced harassment or hate speech online. They were asked to indicate where they find most of their news on political issues. In another block of questions, the reliability of news about political issues presented in various sources was evaluated (Online social media; Television; 5 in total). They were asked how much the Lithuanian residents who participated in the survey are personally interested in politics. The respondents' participation in political and social activities in the past 12 months was also examined (Signed a petition; Took part in a demonstration or political protest; 5 in total). Next, they were asked to indicate their position on a "left" and "right" scale and to answer whether most people can be trusted in general, or whether one needs to be very cautious with people. The respondents' trust in the Parliament and Lithuanian courts was also evaluated, and their opinion on who should be most responsible for protecting personal information when using the internet was investigated. It was clarified whether the Lithuanian government should have the right to keep people under video surveillance in public areas and to monitor e-mails, social media content and any other personal information exchanged on the Internet. They were asked whether respondents would provide their personal information online in return for discounts and free products, or whether they would do so even though private companies may use it to make a profit. Next, the opinion was investigated whether in Lithuania women or men, older or younger, rural or urban residents, more or less educated, and rich or poor people benefit more from using the internet and digital technologies. During the survey, it was also clarified how concerned respondents are that in the next 10 years, machines, computer programs, and artificial intelligence will take over many jobs performed by people. At the end of the survey, the respondents' opinion on human activities that can be performed by robots or artificial intelligence was evaluated (Having a medical operation performed on you by a robot; Being driven in a driverless car; 5 in total).

ISSP 2023: National Identity & Citizenship I, Lithuania, May - July 2024
No full textThe purpose of the study: to analyse Lithuanian residents’ social and political engagement, their relationship with the state, and their attitudes toward Lithuania as well as various social groups living in the country.
Major investigated questions: the survey began by examining which factors respondents consider essential for being recognized as a true Lithuanian (… to have been born in Lithuania; … to have Lithuanian citizenship.; 6 items in total). A subsequent set of statements assessed national identity, pride in Lithuania, and loyalty to the country (I would rather be a citizen of Lithuania than of any other country in the world; There are some things about Lithuania today that make me feel ashamed of Lithuania; 5 items in total). The study also explored whether respondents believe that each nation should have its own state in which it can independently make decisions. Further, the survey investigated perceptions of Lithuanian identity acquisition - specifically, whether one can become a true Lithuanian through personal effort or whether it is necessary to be born Lithuanian. Another question block assessed the extent to which Lithuanian residents feel pride in their country based on various factors (… the way democracy works; … its political influence in the world; 6 items in total). The survey then focused on respondents’ views regarding the protection of national interests and international cooperation in economic, cultural, and political domains (Lithuania should limit the import of foreign products in order to protect its national economy; For certain problems, like environment pollution, international bodies should have the right to enforce solutions; 6 items in total). Attitudes toward immigrants residing in Lithuania were also evaluated (Immigrants increase crime rates; Immigrants are generally good for Lithuania’s economy; 5 items in total). Respondents were asked whether, in their opinion, the number of immigrants to Lithuania should significantly increase in the near future. The study examined attitudes toward the cultural integration of immigrants - whether they should preserve their native culture, combine it with Lithuanian culture, or fully adopt Lithuanian cultural norms. A separate question block allowed respondents to indicate what they believe constitutes being a good citizen (Never to try to evade taxes; Always to obey laws and regulations; 5 items in total). In assessing the state of democracy, respondents evaluated how well democracy functions in Lithuania today, how it functioned 10 years ago, and how they expect it to function 10 years from now. Another set of questions explored views on human rights within a democratic system (That all citizens have an adequate standard of living; That government authorities respect and protect the rights of minorities; 4 items in total). The survey also addressed whether the government should be responsible for reducing income inequality between the rich and the poor. Respondents were asked to position themselves on a left–right political spectrum. Political efficacy was assessed through questions measuring the extent to which respondents feel their opinions are considered by the government (People like me don’t have any say about what the government does; I don’t think the government cares much what people like me think). Respondents also evaluated the extent to which the civil service serves the public and the perceived prevalence of corruption within it. The final set of statements focused on perceptions of political authority, its relationship with society, and trust in decision-making by experts versus citizens (The people, and not politicians, should make our most important policy decisions; Politicians talk too much and take too little action; 6 items in total). Additionally, the survey explored respondents’ media consumption habits - including television, press, radio, and internet use - for political news and information, as well as perceptions of bias in political reporting. Finally, the survey assessed interpersonal trust by asking whether respondents believe most people would take advantage of them if given the opportunity or act honestly, and whether people in general can be trusted or should be approached with caution. At the end of the survey, respondents were asked whether they are citizens of Lithuania.
