Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
1. to investigate the frequency of Traditional, Complementary and Alternative Medicine use (TCAM) and intentional Non-adherence to medical recommendations (iNAR) in the general population in Serbia, as well as their mutual relations.
2. to examine the distribution of irrational beliefs in the general population;
3. to explore the relationships between TCAM and iNAR behaviors on the one hand and variables of personality, thinking styles and cognitive reflection on the other, with a major assumption that these relationships will be mediated by the domain of irrational beliefs and socio-political attitudes.
Participants will respond to a battery of instruments assessing TCAM use and iNAR, as well as, sociodemographics and health-related variables (such as health status, chronic diseases, BMI, etc.), distal psychological (i.e. personality, thinking disposition and styles) and proximal psychological, variables, (i.e. the irrational mindset, as well as socio-political beliefs and attitudes).
Data will be collected on the probabilistic household sample representative for the general population in Serbia (N=1043).
