• Beyond Experience: Interpreting Corruption Perception Through Qualitative and Representational Lenses (2026) · Sociológia - Slovak Sociological Review · doi

  The academic community has devoted considerable attention to the issue of corruption perception, but relatively little attention has been paid to the phenomenon of corruption perception as such. There is a need to understand how individuals without personal experience of corruption perceive corruption. There is a need to identify key sources shaping corruption perceptions and to reaffirm the media's dominant role as an information source on corruption.
