&lt;b> &lt;i> Major investigated questions&lt;/i>&lt;/b>: respondents were asked which sources of information they use in order to learn about public affairs. They were also asked to indicate how they would behave if they and all the society confronted with a serious political, economic or any local problem. Civic participation of respondents was evaluated by asking questions about various forms of political participation and, community action and social solidarity. Political effectiveness of respondents was evaluated by asking questions about the power of different groups to influence decision-making.
