The Relationship between School Belonging and Societal Belonging among Ethnic Minority Adolescents in the Czech Republic.
Belonging is a fundamental human need strongly linked to psychological well-being and social adjustment. This need is particularly salient for ethnic minority adolescents who often face prejudice and other challenges both in school and in broader society. This article investigates the association between the sense of school belonging and societal belonging among ethnic minority adolescents in the Czech Republic. Using multilevel regression models, we analyse data from the minority subsample (age 15–16) of th…
The Role of Parental Attitudes and Behavior in the Development of Adolescents’ Gender Housework Stereotypes.
The enduring imbalance in the distribution of housework between men and women persists as a factor perpetuating gender inequality. Attitudes acquired during the ‘formative years’ often persist into adulthood; thus, it is crucial to identify the ways in which individuals develop gender norms during adolescence. While studies have provided convincing evidence that parents influence their children’s support for gender equality, both through passing on their attitudes directly and by setting an example throu…
Education and Democratic Orientations: Unpacking the Role of Level, Field, and Generational Influence.
This study examines how individuals’ level of education and field of study influence their support for democracy, political interest, political participation, and political consumerism. In doing so, the study represents a key contribution to the literature on the role of education in fostering democratic citizenship, given the lack of previous research taking potential field of study differences into account in this regard. Using data from the Czech Household Panel Study (2015–2019), we assess cognitive, s…
Voting for Hard Eurosceptic Parties in 2024 European Parliament Elections in the Czech Republic: The Role of Salience and Attitude toward Czexit.
In this article, we test the applicability of the EU issue voting model to the case of the 2024 Czech European Parliament elections. Given the increasing importance of the issue of leaving or remaining in the European Union, we examine whether voters’ attitudes towards this issue affect their electoral behaviour. Furthermore, research on individual-level salience’s effects on EU issue voting is limited. To address this gap, we leverage post-election survey data on the importance voters attribute to the iss…
Identity Processing Strategies, Classroom Ethnic Diversity, and Attitudes Toward Ethnic Outgroups
According to the Intergroup Contact Theory, social interaction can foster positive attitudes toward outgroups. However, less is known about the role of social-cognitive strategies in navigating experiences that prompt identity reflection, such as interactions in ethnically diverse classroom environments. In this study, we examine the role of identity processing strategies (i.e., informational, normative, diffuse/avoidant) in the relationship between classroom ethnic diversity and attitudes toward ethnic outgro…
Beyond tolerance toward inclusion: Response to homo- and trans-negative language.
Greater numbers of youth in Czech schools identify as sexual and gender minorities (SGM). This is occurring in a highly homogenous country that has a history of tolerance, yet limited guidelines exist on how to support these increasingly more visible communities. This provides a unique environment to examine how, when, and why educators advocate for SGM youth in the Czech Republic, and it sets the stage for more research. In this study, 114 teachers working in Czech schools completed a survey about when they i…

„Být dobrým sousedem a dobrým hospodářem“: Význam antropocentrických a biocentrických postojů zástupců environmentálních organizací v úspěšných strategiích správy krajiny
Podoba krajiny závisí nejen na přírodních a klimatických podmínkách, ale i na společenské poptávce po tom, jak má krajina vypadat, a jaké funkce má plnit. Zájmy a postoje veřejnosti a společenských skupin se tak promítají do přístupů ke správě krajiny. Jedním ze společenských segmentů, který se na správě krajiny podílí, je environmentálně zaměřená občanská společnost. Text představuje výsledky sociologické studie zaměřené na identifikaci a analýzu postojů ke kr…

Mobilising political intersectionality in Czechia’s climate movement: Opportunities and pitfalls of coalition building in a post-socialist semi-periphery
Political intersectionality is now increasingly mobilised by social movements and their coalitions advocating for climate justice in different contexts around the world. Employing feminist action research, we explore (1) individual, (2) organisational and (3) societal levels of political intersectionality in the Czech climate movement. Our focus on spatiotemporal factors reveals the opportunities and pitfalls of intersectional coalition building in a post-socialist semi-periphery. In a societal context distort…

Inflammable object lessons: sustaining “life without a gut” on home parenteral nutrition
Providing a detailed sociological case study of “life without a gut”, this article de-essentialises the gut as fundamental to metabolism and health, and de-fetishises the value of “real food” as a universal good. The study draws on qualitative research into the biosocial life story of Martin, who, since childhood, has lived on home parenteral nutrition (HPN), a technology that bypasses the digestive system by delivering nutrients directly into the bloodstream. It examines efforts to manage Martin’s …

The collective gut: rational nutrition and the expert visions for the socialist nutritional modernity

The study draws on an analysis of issues published between 1946 and 1986 of the journal People and Nutrition, which was founded by the Czechoslovak Society for Rational Nutrition to disseminate expert knowledge among both the expert community and the public. Drawing on Hannah Landecker’s notion of industrial metabolism and…

Do green fingers munch on more fruit and veggies? Health effects of home gardening
Inadequate consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables is a persistent problem in many highly urbanized Global North countries. The research suggests that the intake of fresh fruits and vegetables is influenced by households’ food production in gardens. However, the connection between home gardening, consumption, and health is far from straightforward, and in the extant literature, the research evidence is limited. Therefore, this study presents the results of quantitative research exploring the relationship …

Caring for more-than-human metabolic health: Self-tracking technologies as tools of calculation and communication in obesity and type 1 diabetes care
This article draws on the findings of ongoing ethnographic research to examine the use of self-tracking devices and the embodiment of numerical data in type 1 diabetes (T1D) and obesity (self)care. We engage the notion of industrial and post-industrial metabolism as proposed by Hannah Landecker (2013) to explore the technologically mediated, more-than-human dynamics of metabolic health. While studies tend to depict self-monitoring devices as reinforcing a rigid, mechanistic, and control-obsessed approach to bo…

The study considers both Engel’s law on food expenditures and Schwabe’s law on housing expenditures by verifying their implications for poverty measures. Interpretation of the two laws assumes that households spending the same shares…
