Online marketingová komunikace cílící na děti školního věku
Online prostředí je plné různých forem marketingové komunikace, přičemž řadu z nich není na první pohled snadné rozeznat od běžného obsahu. Kvůli své nezkušenosti právě děti, o nichž je tato kniha, snáze podléhají marketingovým sdělením, která pak ovlivňují jejich nákupní preference. Respondenty našeho výzkumu byly děti ve věku 10–13 let, které jsou spotřebiteli i zákazníky a zároveň hrají významnou roli při nákupním rozhodování v rodině. Je proto nanejvý…

Micro-Entrepreneurs’ Health Strategies During and Beyond the COVID-19 Pandemic
The topic of safeguarding against sickness grew in importance during the COVID-19 pandemic. People’s health was more at risk, yet not all had the same capacity and options to deal with it. Therefore, this article focuses on the under-researched topic of choice of strategies and individual practices for safeguarding against one’s sickness among micro-entrepreneurs (with 1–10 employees) before and during the pandemic, namely on the example of Czechia. We analyse 30 qualitative interviews with micro-entrepr…

Low Pay and Political Attitudes in Europe: Is There an East-West Divide?
Employing 2018 European Social Survey data in a multilevel framework, the paper aims to estimate the effect of working for low pay on a wide range of political attitudes and to explain the attitudinal differences between the Central and Eastern European (CEE) and Western European regions based on their differing socioeconomic and political background. The results suggest that it is mainly the lower living standard of inhabitants together with widespread wage inequality and not the specific legacy of the commun…

Item response theory-based psychometric analysis of the Short Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-Being Scale (SWEMWBS) among adolescents in the UK
Background: Middle and late adolescence is the period in a person’s life that is most vulnerable to mental health problems. To enable an evidence base that can support policies to prevent such problems, it is crucial to have good quality, reliable, and accurate measurement tools for mental well-being. One of them is the Short Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-Being Scale (SWEMWBS). This study aimed to test the psychometric properties of the SWEMWBS on a large sample of adolescents aged 16 to 19 from the United …

Counter-strategizing after a dialogue failure: Stakeholder involvement and nuclear waste disposal in the Czech Republic
This case study focuses on the temporal dynamics of stakeholder interaction to provide a sociological analysis of the deep geological repository siting process in the Czech Republic. By introducing the concept of counter-strategizing, it clarifies the shift in interaction after the state authorities backed out of a dialogue with local communities at pre-selected sites in 2016 but continued to push ahead with their siting mission. The study triangulates complementary data sources (interviews, focus groups, cont…

Testování psychometrických vlastností a ekvivalence české verze Škály spokojenosti se životem (SWLS) pomocí metod konfirmační faktorové analýzy, teorie odpovědi na položku a bayesovského modelování
The Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) is one of the most commonly used instruments for measuring life satisfaction. The aim of this study is to test the psychometric properties of the Czech version of the SWLS using Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and Item Response Theory (IRT) and to test its invariance between social groups in terms of gender, age, and education using Bayesian modelling on a representative sample of the Czech online population, as the scale has not yet been tested on representative data…

For this purpose, the latest European Social Survey data were utilised in a multilevel framework, covering 5681 workers from eight countries.

Zdravotní sestry a jejich prožívání dvojí péče v době pandemie covidu-19
The pandemic highlighted the importance of both formal and informal care and magnified gender inequalities in this area. Women were more represented in care-related frontline professions (including nurses), but they were also more often responsible for providing childcare when institutions (especially schools and nurseries) were closed. This paper builds on criticism aimed at the separate study of formal and informal care and explores the interconnections between the two in the case of Czech nurses with young …

Amount and Causes of Food Waste in Households from Perspective of Consumers – the Case Study of the Czech Republic
Food waste occurs throughout the food distribution chain, with households, i.e., consumers, accounting for the largest share of total food waste. Different methods can be used to determine how much food people waste in their households, with widely varying results. Direct measurement methods prove to be the most accurate, but due to their financial, logistical, and time-consuming nature, they are not very common, and therefore questionnaires based on subjective estimates of respondents are very often used. Thi…

The COVID-19 Pandemic and Gender+ Inequalities in the Czech Republic, Hungary, and Slovakia: The Heteronormativity of Anti- Pandemic Measures and Their Impact on Vulnerable Groups
Various research studies suggest that women and other vulnerable groups are the ones who were impacted most and who continue to suffer from the economic and social effects of the pandemic. However, these groups have often been omitted from the measures mitigating the pandemic impact due to their invisibility in the policy-knowledge nexus. This article draws on the findings from the international RESISTIRÉ research project, which focuses on how COVID-19 policies impacted gendered inequalities in Europe. Buildi…

In this article, we interpret some of the findings from an extensive explorative qualitative study conducted from April to December 2020 that used semi-structured interviews, interviews with clients of an assistance-providing organisation, and analyses of concrete cases from the period of the first pandemic lockdown in the Czech Republic. Domestic violence, especially in the form of intimate partner violence against women, was expected to grow in intensity as a result of the social crisis triggered by the COVI…

Sleep quality and sleep routines as mediators of stressors and life satisfaction in Czech university students: a structural equation model
Introduction: Sleep is especially important to overall well-being. Some aspects of sleep have been well documented, for example sleep quantity and its effect on well-being, but the value of a consistent sleep routine remains poorly studied. University students are a population group especially susceptible to stress, mental health problems and poor sleep quality and experience changing daily schedules. Investigating the protective power of sleep in this population group is therefore an important avenue of rese…

Genderové rozdíly v odměňování a rodičovství: možnosti inovace ISPV
Cílem publikace je najít cestu k tomu, jak inovovat ISPV (Informační systém o průměrném výdělku), aby na jeho základě šlo analyzovat data o vlivu rodičovství na mzdy a genderové mzdové rozdíly přímo z těchto dat. Jde přitom o unikátní data propojující zaměstnané osoby s jejich zaměstnavateli (tzv. linked employer-employee data), která jsou v současnosti nejkvalitnějším datovým zdrojem pro analýzu rozdílů v odměňování v ČR. Údaje o rodičovství v tomto datovém z…

This article deals with individual in-rural migrant projects and the experiences of permaculturists who live in intentional eco-communi…

Social Perception of Trees in the Landscape: The Connection Between Attitudes and Visual Preferences
The study presented in this paper uses a representative sample of the Czech population to analyse the relationships between attitudes to trees and preferences for landscapes with trees. We ask whether a positive assessment of the environmental benefits of trees in general and old and dead trees in particular leads to preferences for close-to-nature forms of the tree landscape. The results show that tree landscape preferences are primarily affected by attitudes attached to trees, rather than by sociodemographic…

Společenská percepce stromů
Jak vnímáme staré stromy a jakou hodnotu jim přikládali lidé dříve? Máme dnes ještě zájem o starobylé mohutné stromy a jejich svědectví? A jak se vůbec lidská společnost vztahovala ke stromům v historii (památné stromy, paměť stromů) a jak s nimi nakládá v současnosti (stromy v zemědělství, stromy jako symbol či jako klíčová komponenta lesních ekosystémů)? Jak například poznáme, že se stromy používaly pro těžbu pryskyřice? Jaké jsou stopy tradičního ořezáván…

Finanční náročnost bydlení v českých domácnostech
Náklady na bydlení obecně představují nejvýznamnější položku spotřebních výdajů domácností. Zatímco průměrná evropská domácnost za bydlení včetně energií a dalších plateb utratila v roce 2021 25 % svého rozpočtu, v Česku to bylo dokonce 28 %.Náklady na bydlení se do velké míry odvíjejí od toho, zda domácnost žije ve vlastním bytě či domě, zda má hypotéku či půjčku, nebo zda bydlí v nájmu. V Česku žilo v roce 2021 78 % lidí v domácnostech, které vlastni…

Kriminalita a COVID-19 v Česku: souvislosti omezení fungování společnosti a nápadu kriminality v regionech
Covid-19 významně ohrozil nejen zdraví obyvatelstva a fungování zdravotnictví, ale i mnoho dalších oblastí lidského života. Epidemiologická opatření narušila běžné fungování společnosti a odrazila se i ve fungování kriminality a bezpečnostních složek. Proměny a dopady těchto omezení a opatření, zejména omezení pohybu (tzv. lockdowny), dokumentuje zpráva pomocí porovnání struktury a intenzity kriminality "před" obdobím covidu (2018-2019), "během" něj (2020) a "po" n…
