Nový přístup v testování ekvivalence na příkladu měření subjektivního blahobytu

Survey-based measures of subjective well-being are increasingly often analyzed cross-culturally. However, international comparison of these measures requires measurement invariance. Therefore, the major goal of this study was to investigate the cross-country comparability of the 5-item subjective well-being scales used in the International Social Survey Programme (2011, 2017). This study applied both the traditional exact and the more recent Bayesian approximate approach to assessed whether the subjective well…

Webové archivy a sociální vědy: příležitosti, problémy a řešení

Internet se v posledních třech desetiletích stal integrální součástí soudobých společností a jeho obsah postupně ohromně narůstá a velmi dynamicky se proměňuje. I tak však společenské vědy a společenští vědci nevěnují přílišnou pozornost tomu, jaké svědectví může web nabídnout ohledně společenských změn. Tento článek se věnuje úvodu do problematiky webových archivů, které mohou sloužit jako zdroj dat částečně vypovídající o dynamické proměně současné…

The aim of our study is to examine the relationship between different types of trust during the coronavirus crisis.

Schützova koncepce sociální intersubjektivity

Schutz’s concept of intersubjectivity departs from radical, philosophical analyses of the constitution of the other (alter ego) in my consciousness. Instead, he takes the existence of the other and his or her subjectivity for granted and investigates the intersubjective relations of understanding and action among individuals. The shifting of phenomenological lifeworld theory from philosophy to sociology enables Schütz to study social interaction and order. The article identifies the premises of this concept…

Energy and the public. How societies communicate and decide about energy issues?

As people living in the EU states we take it for granted that a source of electricity will be there whenever we need it. It is a considerably less self-evident matter, how the electricity we rely on is supposed to be produced and distributed. The energy sector stands at a crossroads today and newly emerging options of energy strategies challenge the old ways of doing the business. This module approaches technical students as potential future energy experts, who will need to integrate social or societal aspects…

Philosophy and Ethics of Energy Development. What are the most general questions concerning our attitudes to energy technologies?

Energy production and energy facilities and projects are based on scientific knowledge and they require employment of various kinds of technologies. This links energy development with a more general view of natural sciences and technologies and their function in contemporary advanced societies. The impact of technologies on everyday lives of individuals, groups and communities has been growing unprecedentedly in recent decades. It does not matter whether we like it or not, whether we are techno-enthusiasts or …

Generative hermeneutics: proposal for an alliance with critical realism

This article deals with the recent interest shown by critical realists in the study of generative mechanisms in sociology and proposes stronger integration of hermeneutics into this theoretical approach. There are important differences between realism and hermeneutics. While realism strives to overcome the extremes of empiricism and interpretivism with a new version of naturalism, hermeneutics bases its explanations of society on research into meanings. The question is whether underlining these differences is …

Náboženská víra a vztah k historii – analýza existence vzájemného propojení.

The purpose of this text is to attempt to test the connection between people’s religiosity and their relationship to history, and also to provide some new knowledge about this relationship in the Czech Republic. According to theories, it is assumed that religion and history are somehow connected. This is why we are trying to obtain knowledge about the relationship between people’s religiosity and their historical consciousness. This knowledge should shed light on the role of religious memory. We assume tha…

Mají Češi dobrou práci? II.

The Heritage of Traditional Superior Beers from the Visegrad Group Countries.

Preferences in the consumption of food and drinks can change according to eating habits. A consumer test with total 320 participants held in the countries of the Visegrad Group (Visegrad Four) in April 2016 confirmed, however the popularity of regional beers, particularly those with a medium original wort extract (about 11.5 to 12.0 % wt), with medium to high bitterness, high body-fullness, high carbonation and medium alcohol content. Some groups of participants had different preferences but the beers with low…

Povaha aspektů pro měření objektivní kvality pracovního života

The paper deals with the analysis of various aspects used to assess the quality of working life. It draws on the data from the representative survey of economically active population of the Czech Republic conducted in 2019. On an empirical basis, it shows that the impact of working-life circumstances on workers is not always universal or unambiguous, that there are at least four basic patterns of effect. Therefore, it may be misleading to assess the level of quality of working life directly on the basis of som…

Vyprávění a rozhovor. Teorie sociální intersubjektivity

This book is a contribution to general social theory. The arguments herein are guided by two interests. On the one hand is the interest in the topic of intersubjectivity in sociology. Research on the intersubjectivity of understanding, which is the precondition for the coordination of action among individuals, offers an alternative to the frequently discussed dilemma of individualism versus holism. On the other hand, there is the interest in hermeneutics as studied in philosophy. In research on intersubjectivi…

Cílem článku je aplikovat pojem hermeneutického kruhu na pozici sociologa.

Historické vědomí obyvatel České republiky perspektivou sociologického výzkumu.

Kniha otevírá nový pohled na zkoumání vztahu lidí k dějinám a jejich představ o minulosti. Historické vědomí je zde sociologickou perspektivou prezentováno nejen jako látka pro teoretické uvažování, ale především pro empirický výzkum. Klíčovou linií knihy je, že historické vědomí není invariantní entitou, nýbrž má samo historicky proměnlivý charakter a je odrazem obecných společensko-politických poměrů. Autoři ukazují, že součástí historického vědomí jsou i u …
