Vesna Lamza Posavec ; Institute of Social Sciences Ivo Pilar, Zagreb

Abstract

The topic of the work is the refusal to respond to poll questionnaires
as one of the key methodological problems in the realization
of opinion polis and questionnaire-based social research in
general. In addition to a survey of data on rejecting polis in Croatia
and abroad, the paper describes some of the perceived characteristics
of persons unwilling to participate in such questionnaires,
designates probable reasons for rejection and their possible impact
on the validity of research results and also depicts some attempts
at overcoming this important methodological problem.
