Societal security is undoubtedly an instrument for creating populist attitudes. This is related primarily to the quality of different democratic mechanisms and their representations affecting the political system. However, in the largest extent the merge of societal security and populism are triggered by the political elite, and the recipients of their communication - the citizens. It is related to the belief, which is increasingly affecting the public that ‘the elite should do what people order them to’ (Markowski 2004: 14). Undoubtedly, this situation creates series of consequences related primarily to the lack of political and economic civic competences. On the other hand, it may contribute to the growth of citizens’ dissatisfaction with the government actions that results in the loss of the legitimacy.

Objectives. This study aims to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Slovak version of the SciPop scale, designed to measure science-related populist attitudes. It seeks to explore its factor structure and investigate its relationships with external variables such as political populist attitudes, trust in science, distrust of experts and perception of science. Sample and settings. Data collection was conducted in August 2023 through an online panel of a local research agency. Ethical approval was obtained, and informed consent was secured from 643 Slovak participants. Quota sampling ensured demographic representation based on gender, age, education, and regional affiliation. Statistical analyses. Factor structure was examined using MIMIC model with ML estimator in the R software. Measurement invariance across gender, age and education groups was assessed. Correlations with selected constructs were examined. Results. The findings indicate that the Slovak version of the SciPop scale exhibits robust psychometric properties, including a four-dimensional factor structure and measurement invariance across gender, age, and education. Significant associations of science-related populism with political populist attitudes, trust in science, distrust of experts, and perceptions of science were confirmed. Limitations. Limitations include the use of an online sample, which may not fully represent certain population groups, and reliance on self-report measures. To ensure the scale’s stability and generalizability, further validation on diverse datasets and test-retest reliability assessments are recommended.
