Rezumat

We shall analyze if the Romanian population is not satisfied by the anti-Covid measures taken by the Romanian gouvernment in April 2020. This period marks the start of the Covid-19 pandemics in Europe. The present topic has been previously researched by the author for the period May 2021. The current paper is contained in a group of analysis of the anti-Covid gouvernment measures from 2020-2022. The research was based on a questionnaire in April 2020, which was based on a number of 1017 Romanians. More concretely, the question actro has the following wording: “How satisfied or not are you with the measures your government has taken so far against the coronavirus pandemic?”. The persons interviewed within the Eurobarometer have several answering variants: Very satisfied (R1); Fairly satisfied (R2); Not very satisfied (R3); Not at all satisfied (R4); Don’t know/Not applicable (DK). We mention the fact that the Eurobarometer records have been weighted maintaining the real proportions of the socio-demographic characteristics of the Romanians at the beginning of 2020. In the statistical models that we use, the actro variablae is an ordinal categorical variable with four ordinal classes R1-R4. The statistical analysis of the data has taken into consideration the individual characteristics (IC) of the questionnaire respondents. We use the following attributes IC: gender, age category, education level, employment status, individual social class, the attitude of the families with minor children, Romanian region of development. By interpreting the value of the association index Goodman-Kruskal, we cannot mention a significant association relation between the variable actro and an individual characteristics IC. In the current paper was defined the index TRO(X) in order to evaluate the tendency of an ordinal categorical variable X. The use of the index TRO points out situations of non-homogeneity in the answers to the questions actro. The application of a chi-square test of homogeneity allows us to decide if the distributions of the Romanians’ opinions to the question actro could be considered statically identical with regard to a characteristic IC.
