Rise in Anxiety about Covid-19

Ever since last March the percentage of respondents saying they were not worried about catching the coronavirus has remained higher than those for whom it was a concern. Despite this long-range decrease in anxiety levels, since December there has been a rise of 7 percentage points in those who are concerned about getting infected, from 31% to 38%. Of these, every tenth person said they were very worried.
The scale and degree of this anxiety is primarily age-related; the older the respondents, the more frequent and acute their fear of Covid infection. Thus, it is people of 55 and over who are most worried: 55% of the 55–64 age group and 60% of those who are older. Women report this concern more frequently (45%) than men (30%).

More on this subject in the CBOS report.
This ‘Current Events and Problems’ survey (393) 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. In all three cases the questionnaire had the same structure and comprised the same questions. The survey was carried out between 9 –22 January 2023 inclusive on a sample of 1028 people (59.5% using the CAPI method, 21.8% CATI and 18.7% 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.
