Sažetak
In this chapter, we reported the findings of a cross-country analysis of youth attitudes towards politicians and politics as well as trust ininstitutions.Descriptive analyses revealed that young people in general have very negative attitudes towards politicians and politics (mean=2.5, on scale from 0 to 8), whereas means scores by locations range from 1.1 (in New Philadelphia Greece) to 4.6 in Odense Center (Denmark). Thus, youth in almost all locations on average has negative attitudes towards politics and politicians (with the exception of locations in Denmark and Finland where the averageattitude is neutral). The most negative attitudes towards politicians and politics were characteristic for youth in Croatia, Slovakia, Portugal, Spain and Greece. Descriptive analyses did not reveal significant differences in youth attitudes towards politics by locations within countries.In order to explore the multivariate determinants of trust in national parliaments as well trust in the European Commission, taking into account the nested structure of our data set, we employed multilevel modelling.
