Interest in Undergoing Military Training
CBOS asked all respondents, whatever their previous experience, whether they would like to participate in some form of military training. Just over a quarter (26%) expressed interest, but only one in twenty (5%) were definite about it. On the other hand, in the majority group that was not interested in the training, most respondents (45%) were definite about this.

The level of interest in military training is clearly related to the ages of the people surveyed. The oldest respondents were the ones who were most likely to reject such an option (87% of those aged 65+ and 80% of the 55–64 age group), while the greatest interest was shown by respondents aged 35–44 (40%) and 45–54 (34%).
More men (32%) than women (21%) were inclined to take the training. Additionally, interest rose in proportion to education levels: from 14% among those with elementary education to 34% among graduates.

This ‘Current Events and Problems’ survey (420) 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 3–13 April 2025 inclusive on a sample of 1030 people (65.5% using the CAPI method, 19.9% CATI and 14.6% 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.
