Dla kogo Thermomix, a dla kogo Bentley? Symboliczne i „obiektywne” dystanse klasowe w Polsce
Głównym celem artykułu jest zbadanie symbolicznych dystansów klasowych i sposobów manifestowania ich w życiu codziennym. Opierając się na danych empirycznych zebranych w 2021 roku w ramach zogniskowanych wywiadów grupowych, autorzy próbują ustalić, w jakim stopniu zjawisko to występuje w społeczeństwie polskim i jakich obszarów kultury dotyczy najbardziej. Opinie respondentów związane były z praktykami konsumpcyjnymi i spędzaniem czasu wolnego. W…
Obiektywne i symboliczne dystanse klasowe w Polsce
Wyniki większości badań potwierdzają obecność podziałów klasowych. Celem autora jest pokazanie, w jakiej postaci nakładają się na nie symboliczne dystanse klasowe, czyli wartościowanie ludzi według różnych kryteriów kreujących hierarchie społeczne. Dane pochodzą z badania jakościowego przeprowadzonego w 2021 roku w Polsce. Wyniki analizy prowadzą do wniosku, że o ile tzw. „obiektywne” aspekty struktury klasowej są bardziej widoczne i nie zmieniaj…
Symboliczne dystanse klasowe w Polsce
Symboliczne dystanse klasowe polegają na kategoryzowaniu zjawisk społecznych: są tym, jak ludzie oceniają i porządkują siebie i innych. Opierając się na danych z badań prowadzonych metodami ilościowymi i jakościowymi próbuję ustalić, w jakiej postaci występują one w społeczeństwie polskim. Wskaźnikami oddziaływania symbolicznych dystansów klasowych na strukturę społeczną są siła zgodności w ocenie prestiżu zawodów i „sprawiedliwych” wynagrodzeń. …
Seriale telewizyjne a dystanse klasowe w Polsce
Artykuł poświęcony jest jednemu z wymiarów stratyfikacji kultury, jakim jest oglądanie seriali telewizyjnych. Opierając się na danych z badania zrealizowanego w 2019 roku na próbie ogólnopolskiej chcemy ustalić, w jakim stopniu ten sposób spędzania czasu wolnego związany jest z pozycją klasową. Okazuje się, że oglądanie seriali niezbyt silnie zależy od pozycji klasowej, jeżeli kontrolowane są inne czynniki. Ani częstość oglądania, ani rodzaje, an…
Oznaki utowarowienia społeczeństwa polskiego. Recenzja książki
Bezpieczeństwo czy system kapitalistyczny
Istnieją różne wizje pożądanego ładu i "sprawiedliwej" formy rządzenia.Wynika to z badań prowadzonych w różnych krajach, również i w Polsce.To jak być, zdaniem ludzi, "powinno", jest ważne dla funkcjonowania systemu politycznego i legitymizacji klasy rządzącej.Oddziałuje na indywidualne strategie i nastroje społeczne, a popieranie np.polityki liberalizmu ekonomicznego w przeciwieństwie do polityki etatystycznej znajduje odzwierciedlenie w wyborac…
Praktyki wychowawcze a transmisja wzorów kulturowych w rodzinie
Przedmiotem analizy jest oddziaływanie pozycji klasowej, kapitału kulturowego i innych cech położenia społecznego rodziców na wzory wychowywania dzieci. Podstawą ustaleń są dane z ogólnopolskiego badania zrealizowanego w 2019 r. Z naszej analizy wynika, że posiadanie wyższego kapitału kulturowego w sensie chodzenia do opery, filharmonii, a także uprawiania sportu lub jedzenia w restauracji sprzyja czytaniu dzieciom książek, chodzeniu z nimi do te…

The Homology of Musical Tastes in Poland
The main aim of the analysis is to determine to what extent preference for specific musical genres is related to social position. The study was based on data from a survey conducted in 2019 on a random sample of Poles. The explained phenomena are six genres representing broad spectrum of musical tastes: classical music, jazz, rock, rap, pop, and disco polo. The results of the analysis indicate that the diversity of musical tastes does not come do…
New Uncertainties and Anxieties in Europe
Since the first round of the ESS (European Social Survey) in 2002 numerous comparative studies on changing attitudes towards immigrants have been published based on ESS data. The availability of two batteries measuring attitudes towards immigrants in the core module of each biennial survey enabled analysis of stability and change of these attitudes in Europe over the whole period 2002–2014. In these studies, variation can be studied from at least…

Friendship Patterns and Social Inequality
Like patterns of intergenerational mobility, patterns of assortative mating are assumed to indicate the ease or difficulty with which individuals are able to cross social strata. Our aim was to explore whether some significant changes in friendship patterns took place and to what extent they were followed by social openness in marital choices. To examine trends in assortative mating we use the POLPAN data from 1988, 2003, and 2008. Loglinear mode…
Rise of Meritocracy in Poland
The article examines whether social stratification in Poland follows the conceptual framework developed by theorists of the market transition in post-communist countries regarding returns to human capital and merits related to occupational achievements. This analysis extends an earlier study by using national surveys spanning from 1982 to 2008. Data analyses support hypotheses that market-like reforms changes the mode of allocating rewards in fav…
Housing Conditions, States, Markets and Households
This article explores variations in housing outcomes in European Union member states that are measured in terms of the quality and affordability of accommodation. It reveals marked north/south and east/west inter-country variations in the outcomes considered. These variations are related to differences in housing inputs and outputs which are analyzed with reference to Esping-Andersen's (1999 Esping-Andersen, Gosta. 1999. The Social Foundations of…
Educational Homogamy in 22 European Countries
Research on socioeconomic homogamy was developed by stratification researchers who used marriage patterns to describe how open stratification systems are. In cross-national studies primary concern on marriage homogamy lies in examination of commonality and differences in their social structures. Following large-scale international studies we use the European Social Survey data 2004–2005 to examine the association between spouses’ educational leve…
A New Dimension of Social Stratification in Poland? Class Membership and Electoral Voting in 1991-2001
In contemporary Central and Eastern Europe, the debate on class politics takes on a different form to that in the West—its concern is whether class divisions increased as the post-communist societies made the transition to the market system. Using Polish survey data on respondents voting behaviour in elections of 1991, 1994, 1997, and 2001, I present evidence on the significance of social class for voting behaviour. Results of log-linear analysis…
Determinants of legitimization in Europe
El análisis sobre las fuentes de la legitimación se basa fundamentalmente en la reflexión teórica. Mi enfoque aquí es evaluar las bases de la legitimación cuantitativamente. Este es un estudio empírico que examina los determinantes de la legitimación subjetiva del gobierno y el sistema social en 21 sociedades europeas. Los datos parten de la primera edición de la Encuesta Social Europea llevada acabo sobre muestras aleatorias en 2002. La legitima…
Between State Socialism and Markets
The main question raised here is whether new rules of income distribution in Eastern Europe resemble opportunity structures in developed market economies. Implicit in theory of modernisation is hypothesis that returns to education stood at the highest in most developed capitalist societies. In the long-standing debate on the transition of post-communist societies to the market economy nobody compared Eastern European countries with Western nation…
The Polish Transformation
This article deals with basic changes in Polish society over past 20 years. On the basis of sociological surveys, the author attempts to answer the following questions: to what extent has systemic change brought about significant changes in social stratification? In which dimensions did it take place? What are the consequences of these changes for individuals and the social system? How does Polish society differ from others? As for social stratif…
Is the East European “underclass” feminized
Results of national surveys carried out in East-European countries convincingly showed that after the fall of communism the gender gap in earnings remained substantial. Following the same analytical framework here I explore a range of issues concerning the gender gap in membership in what I define as the “underclass” in 6 post-communist societies. The basic question is to determine whether or not such a gap exits. I find considerable cross-nation…

Major social transformations and social mobility
This analysis compares the effects on social mobility of the political transformations in Eastern Europe which took place in the 1950s and the 1990s. The author examines absolute and relative mobility rates in Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Russia and Slovakia based on data from national random samples taken in 1993 and 1994. Log-linear models are applied to mobility tables for four periods, 1948-52, 1952-63, 1983-88 and 1988-93, …

Labor Market Segmentation and Income Determination in Poland
The model of income determination, as introduced by labor market segmentation students, is applied to Polish data. This article argues that divisions between sectors, industries, branches, and enterprises, imposed institutionally by the Polish central management system, determine dimensions of labor market segmentation in Polish society. Research findings demonstrate a substantive effect of economic segmentation dimensions on income inequalities,…

Dynamics of Labor Market Segmentation in Poland, 1982-1987
Research in the early 1980s showed that industrial segmentation strongly affected income inequality in Poland. The findings were interpreted as indicative of the socialist state policy whereby wages are distributed through centrally imposed industrial organizations. Since 1982, however, attempts have been made to introduce long-range reform into the Polish economy. In this article data from 1982 and 1987 national surveys are compared to establish…

Toward a theory of the role of the state in market transition
State socialism is often analysed as if all institutions functioned in directions diametrically opposed to those in liberal Western states. A frequent assumption in both the East and the West, therefore, is that marketization and democratization require the dismantling of powerful, centralized states. This paper explores changes in the distribution of income in Poland between 1982 and 1991. As market reforms are introduced, power shifts from cent…

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-…

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…
