<b><i>The purpose of the study</i></b>: to assess the political and social attitudes of Lithuanian residents, as well as their trust in government institutions and international organizations. <br> <b><i>Major investigated questions</i></b>: the first block of statements aimed to identify respondents’ inclination to believe in conspiracy theories (Governments allow or carry out terrorist acts in their own countries while concealing their involvement; Evidence of contact with extraterrestrials is hidden from the public; 7 in total). The next block of statements examined trust in political and economic elites (People, not politicians, should make the most important decisions related to politics; Politicians talk too much but do too little; 5 in total). The third consecutive block of statements assessed the perception of political efficacy and trust in the effectiveness of democratic representation among Lithuanian residents participating in the survey (The opinion of people like me about what the government does not matter; I do not think the government cares what people like me think; 4 in total). The survey also explored what is more important – to respond as accurately as possible to voters’ needs or to seek support for one’s party’s policies; and whether politicians should be held accountable for their electoral promises or present their electoral commitments. Further questions asked whether EU membership benefits Lithuania and whether Lithuania should implement EU decisions even if it disagrees with them. The survey examined opinions on whether the EU should have much more power than the governments of its member states. Respondents were asked how they would vote if a referendum were held today on whether Lithuania should remain a member of the EU. Participants had the opportunity to indicate whether they support the current ruling majority, which includes the party “Nemuno Aušra.” The effectiveness of anti-corruption measures in Lithuania’s healthcare system was also assessed. At the end of the survey, to determine public opinion on defense policy and international cooperation in the field of security, respondents were asked about the proposal to increase Lithuania’s defense spending to 5% of GDP in response to growing regional security threats, and about the possibility of applying mandatory initial military service to women, as is currently done for men. Further questions sought to determine whether ethnic minorities living in Lithuania pose a threat to national security or stability, and how the importance of the United States for Lithuania’s national security is evaluated. Respondents were asked whether Lithuania should invest more in regional defense cooperation with the EU to reduce dependence on the United States. In the final question, Lithuanian residents participating in the survey indicated how often, in their opinion, hate speech occurs in Lithuania. <br> <b><i>Socio-demographic characteristics</i></b>: gender, age, level of education, membership in organizations, religion, marital status, nationality, political views, political participation, size of household, respondent's average personal income, place of residence, working situation of the respondent and of his/her spouse or partner. <br><br> <b><i> Temporary accessibility restrictions apply for this dataset.
