LTSaugumas Lietuvoje, atsižvelgiant į pastarojo meto geopolitinius įvykius, tapo aktuali tema. Šiame tyrime buvo nagrinėjami lietuvių saugumo pojūčio, saugumo kaip vertybės ir naujienų vartojimo pokyčiai, naudojant Europos socialinės apklausos duomenis, surinktus 2018 m. (n = 1835), 2020 m. (n = 1659) ir 2023 m. (n = 1365). Buvo atlikti skirtingų tyrimo bangų palyginimai ir koreliacinė analizė. Rezultatai parodė, kad saugumo pojūtis 2020 m. ir 2023 m. buvo didesnis nei 2018 m., o saugumo kaip vertybės svarba visoms tyrimo bangoms išliko stabili. Naujienų vartojimas 2020 m. sumažėjo, o 2023 m. vėl padidėjo, palyginti su 2018 m. Pagrindiniai žodžiai: saugumo pojūtis, saugumas kaip vertybė, naujienų vartojimas, Europos socialinis tyrimas (EST).
ENSafety has become an increasingly relevant topic in Lithuania in the context of recent geopolitical events. This study examined changes in perceived safety, safety as a value, and political news consumption among Lithuanians by using repeated cross-sectional data from the European Social Survey collected in 2018 (n = 1835), 2020 (n = 1659), and 2023 (n = 1365). Between-wave comparisons and correlational analyses were conducted. The results showed that perceived safety was higher in 2020 and 2023 compared to 2018, while the importance of safety as a value remained stable across waves. Political news consumption decreased in 2020 and increased again in 2023 compared to 2018. Keywords: perceived safety, safety as value, news consumption, European Social Survey (ESS).
