Summary/Abstract: Our paper focused on identifying moderators (i.a. question difficulty) and mediators (i.a. health condition) allowing for better understanding of the relationship between ageing and respondents’ tendency to select uninformative answers (“do not know”, “have no opinion” etc.). Our results, based on data obtained in three waves of PGSS study (2002, 2005, 2010), support previous research linking preference for uninformative answers with age-related cognitive decline.
