Trusting Others
A decided majority of Poles think you should be very careful in your relations with other people.
At the same time, there is a growing belief that trusting your business partners generally pays off. Almost four out of ten of the people surveyed (39%) held this opinion, which is the highest percentage since CBOS records began.

This ‘Current Events and Problems’ survey (430) 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 5 – 16 February 2026 inclusive on a sample of 967 people (60.2% using the CAPI method, 24.1% CATI and 15.7% 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.
