Towards a trustful Information Society

In this article, we present data from a survey on the characteristics of the information society in four Central and Eastern European countries. The 25-minute representative telephone survey was conducted in Hungary, Romania, Poland and the Czech Republic. The research covers internet usage habits, actors of online trust, fear of manipulation and news consumption habits, and last but not least, general attitudes towards the internet. The four databases are available in English and the four questionnaires are available in the language of the country in which they are annexed to the article. The main variables of the database are presented in the article.
