Published Friday 27 June 2025 at 13:46
As an integral part of research activities conducted within the project Adria Digital Media Observatory, this report summarizes the main survey results conducted in the longitudinal panel study from 2022 to 2025 in four points of measurement. This study was mostly focused on various classes of conspiracy theories, specific disinformation and their correlates. It emerged from the previous similar interdisciplinary project Pro-fact, whose results are incorporated into this report for comparison purposes. In that sense, this report leans on, and represents a continuation of our previous reports, especially to the Profact’s report on the prevalence, structure and trends of conspiratorial beliefs (Blanuša, Tonković & Vranić, 2022), as well as on ADMO report about more recent trends in conspiracism in Croatia (Blanuša et al. 2024). Based on these results, it is possible to develop digital tools and algorithms for the automatic detection of conspiracy theories, and to educate and empower citizens through media literacy programs.
