Obywatel jako respondent?
A citizen as a respondent?

Summary/Abstract: The author explores reasons for respondent refusals and claims that refraining from opinion poll participation is triggered by the same mechanisms that generate voter abstention. The rationale behind the hypothesis is that survey participation is a form of political involvement similar to voting. The author attempts to validate the hypothesis and takes a critical look at the role of surveys in a democratic society. The author further reflects upon causes for non-responses in polls and discusses empirical findings in favour of the hypothesis in question.
