Modern democracies are confronted with the increasing resistance to elites, the rise of demagogic leaders and the spread of misinformation. Globally, populism has reached an all-time high, with populists currently governing in more than 25% of countries. Slovakia has a tradition of favouring populist political subjects and leaders. Populist attitudes are widespread, while support for certain features of liberal democracy is declining. The negative effects of populist attitudes and conspiracy beliefs on society can be far-reaching, particularly in important social and health-related areas. This article focuses on conspiracy beliefs, internality/externality and socio-demographic characteristics, and examines their predictive significance for populist attitudes in Slovak society. Data were collected in three phases, during and after the pandemic, using the Populist Attitudes Scale, the Generic Conspiracy Beliefs Scale, and the authors' questionnaire on belief in conspiracy claims related to the COVID-19 pandemic. In the sample of adult men and women (N=1345), the predictive significance of generic conspiracy beliefs, internal and external locus of control, including gender, age and education, was confirmed. Conspiracy beliefs related to the COVID-19 pandemic were not found to be significant. Populist attitudes are likely to be better explained by a concept that captures conspiracy beliefs in general. The results suggest a more complex interplay between different groups of interrelated factors. The importance of different psychological and socio-demographic variables for populist attitudes undoubtedly requires further investigation of the context in which these attitudes emerge.

The study aims to identify protective factors against antisocial behaviour of adolescents. Data from the SAHA project (The Social and Health Assessment), obtained from a16-year-old juvenile cohort, were used to analyse antisocial behaviour of adolescent boys (N = 733) and girls (N = 1110). Subsequently, levels of the predictive importance of the protective factors of the family environment, school environment, fulfilled leisure time and individual factors were tested through multinomial regression analysis in the groups of boys and girls. Slightly different paths to the absence of antisocial behaviour were identified for adolescent boys and girls. Key predictors for adolescent boys with non-problem behaviour are prosocial beliefs, prosocial behaviour and leisure time, expectations of goal attainment, parental involvement, and teacher support. For adolescent girls, positive school environment, feelings of safety at school, parental warmth, parental supervision, prosocial beliefs, optimistic beliefs, and leisure time contribute to non-problematic behaviour.
