In October, CBOS in cooperation with Newspoint researched attitudes towards refugees. At the same time, a nationwide survey (CBOS) and a research of the Internet entries regarding refugees (Newspoint) were conducted. The comparison of results confirms more critical attitudes expressed on the net than in face-to-face conversations during our interviews. It should be emphasised that a profile of an Internet user differs from a profile of an average citizen. Internet users, and in particular those active on the net, are mostly young people. Moreover, the Internet encourages expressing extreme opinions. Therefore, attitudes of the Internet users should not be projected onto the whole society.
