Perils of Perception Survey

Perils of perception, prejudice and conspiracy theories

The gap between reality and perception is often massive. This is illustrated by a new survey carried out for the Royaumont Talks, whose theme this year was "Believing". The results were presented on 1 December at Royaumont Abbey by Didier Truchot, founder and chairman of Ipsos. In this survey, Ipsos tested the beliefs of the population in ten major countries on a range of social, political, economic and current affairs issues – and compared them with actual data.
