Misja „Survey Data Harmonization in the Social Sciences” a potrzeba nowego paradygmatu w badaniach porównawczych
Artykuł rozpoczyna się od analizy historycznych przyczyn obecnego kryzysu w międzynarodowych badaniach porównawczych korzystających z harmonizacji ex-ante – podejścia, którego istota polega na powtarzaniu tych samych pytań w różnych krajach. Podejście stworzono w latach zimnej wojny w celu oceny efektów amerykańskiej propagandy, skąd na wiele lat trafiło do nauk społecznych, przyczyniając się do rozwoju międzynarodowych programów badawczych, jak …
Historyczne okoliczności a rzetelność badań
Celem artykułu jest dostarczenie nowych argumentów w dyskusji na temat rzetelności badań (research integrity). Podjęto w nim problem wpływu wydarzeń historycznych na występowanie nierzetelnych praktyk w badaniach międzynarodowych. Perspektywa historyczna dostarcza przykładów, że polityczne czy gospodarcze interesy krajów uczestniczących w międzynarodowych badaniach prowadzić mogą do nierzetelnych praktyk, którym nie da się zaradzić poprzez doskon…
The Polish Panel Survey, Polpan
The Polish Panel Survey POLPAN provides data infrastructure to analyze the dynamics of social inequality from a life-course perspective. Historical events shape the study's research design. In 1987-1988, 5,817 randomly sampled men and women aged 21-65 are interviewed in what is still state socialist Poland. Soon after, their lives are upended by the profound transformations that the anti-communist revolutions in Eastern Europe triggered. To under…
Occupational Careers and Job Interruptions
This study uses the Polish Panel Survey POLPAN 1988–2013 to showcase methodological issues of converting panel data into career trajectories. Three metrics are proposed to describe career trajectories: calendar year, age of respondent, and subsequent career year starting from the first job. I present the POLPAN data in each of these metrics and discuss their benefits and limitations. The article then deals with the issue of selecting a single job…
Modeling Occupational Careers for a Turbulent Economy
Using data from the Polish Panel Survey, we analyze changes in occupational-career patterns by means of trajectories defined as the sequence and duration of work positions expressed on a numerical scale on different timelines: calendar years, age, and years in the labor force. We apply a program (CONVERTER) that transforms the floating format of the occupational history (recorded with dates at the beginning and end of each job) into a fixed forma…
Social mobility of women from an intercountry perspective
Etude de la mobilite sociale des femmes dans les societes modernes, placee dans un cadre plus globale d'analyse de la structure sociale et de la stratification sociale
Stability of Prestige Hierarchies in the Face of Social Changes
Cross-sectional and longitudinal studies worldwide demonstrate that consensus and stability characterise prestige hierarchies. In Poland changes in values, and economic and political crises since 1975, provide the circumstances in which a 1987 survey of employed people re-examines this stability. Results indicate persisting stability with a correlation of 0.94 between the prestige scores of 1975 and 1987, but also show some changes in relative sc…
Dissensus in assessments of occupational prestige
With data from Poland we continue the debate on the extent of consensus in judgements about occupational prestige. Analysis of individuals' judgements obtained through two different rating techniques reveals notable dissensus in evaluations of occupational roles. Contrary to some previous evidence, however, we found very modest differences among basic occupational strata as regards their internal similarity in prestige ratings. In particular we s…

Dimensions of occupational mobility
Occupational mobility patterns are assumed to be an accurate description of the process of social structuration. By a canonical analysis of occupational mobility tables from nine countries an attempt is made to reveal dominant patterns of intergenerational movements. Our findings show that, as indexed by mobility patterns, basic aspects of social structuration are cross-nationally invariant These are: (i) a sharp distinction between farm and non-…
