Participation in Cultural Activities
In 2021 Polish people participated in cultural activities to a greater extent than in the previous year but less frequently than in 2019, the last year before the pandemic. Over a third of those surveyed (36%, a rise of 10 percentage points over 2020) had been to the cinema, and a quarter (25%) had been more than once. Similarly, compared to 2020 more people had gone to a concert (25%, a rise of 11 points), to an exhibition, art gallery or museum (25%, up 9 points) or to the theatre, which showed the lowest rise (12%, up only 3 points).

This ‘Current Events and Problems’ survey (381) was conducted using a mixed-mode procedure on a representative sample of named adult residents of Poland, randomly selected from the National Identity Number (PESEL) register.
Respondents independently selected one of the following methods:
– Computer Assisted Personal Interview (CAPI);
– Computer Assisted Telephone Interview (CATI), respondents receiving researchers’ telephone numbers in an introductory letter from CBOS;
– Computer Assisted Web Interview (CAWI), where respondents filled in the online questionnaire independently, gaining access by means of a login and password provided in an introductory letter from CBOS.
– Computer Assisted Personal Interview (CAPI);
– Computer Assisted Telephone Interview (CATI), respondents receiving researchers’ telephone numbers in an introductory letter from CBOS;
– Computer Assisted Web Interview (CAWI), where respondents filled in the online questionnaire independently, gaining access by means of a login and password provided in an introductory letter from CBOS.
In all three cases the questionnaire had the same structure and comprised the same questions. The survey was carried out between 3 – 13 January 2022 inclusive on a sample of 1135 people (46.4% using the CAPI method, 33.1% CATI and 20.4% CAWI).
CBOS has been conducting statutory research using the above procedure since May 2020, stating in each case the percentage of personal, telephone and internet interviews.
