Identity of non‐self‐evident nation
In this study the authors analyse Czech national identity after the break‐up of Czechoslovakia and before accession to the European Union. National identity is understood here as a construct consisting of several elements, four of which the authors analyse: territorial identity (localism, regionalism, patriotism, and Europeanism), the image of the nation – the cultural nation (ethno‐nation) and the political nation (state‐nation), national pride …
Kontrasty v logistické regresi [Contrasts in Logistic Regression]
The article deals with the use of various types of contrasts, especially in logistic regression. Contrasts were originally developed within the framework of the analysis of variance. They gradually expanded into other statistical methods, for example, into logistic regression and loglinear or logit models. They are also used in linear regression when there are categorical variables among the explaining variables. Contrasts represent a method for …

The article acquaints readers with two methods of measuring value orientations developed by S. H. Schwartz. Particular attention is devoted to the Portrait Values Questionnaire
The Nation, National Identity, and National Pride in Europe
This study provides an analysis of national identity in eleven European countries. In the study, national identity is understood as a construct consisting of several elements, four of which are analysed by the authors -territorial identity, the image of the nation, national pride, and love for the nation. With regard to the image of the nation, the authors focus on the elements that define the cultural nation (ethno-nation) and the political nati…
Transition to University under Communism and after Its Demise. The Role of Socio-economic Background in the Transition between Secondary and Tertiary Education in the Czech Republic 1948-1998
The aim of this study is to assess the most recent trend in inequality in access to tertiary education in the Czech Republic. The authors put forward the hypothesis claiming that the period of stable inequalities in the years 1948-89 was followed by a period of growing inequalities during the post-communist transformation (1989)(1990)(1991)(1992)(1993)(1994)(1995)(1996)(1997)(1998)(1999). The study focuses primarily on the cultural and socio-econ…
Friendship Patterns in Czech Society
This article deals with the question of gender, age and education in friendship patterns. It examines the questions of how many people can be friends, who could be a friend, and what friends are for. It shows that adult friendships are highly homogenous in gender, age and education. It also shows that the number of friends decreases with advancing age and that the frequency of contacts, both face-to-face and other forms, decreases, especially in …
Who are the Czech Materialists, Post-materialists, and Those Who Are 'Mixed', and How Do They Differ in Their Opinions and Attitudes on Selected - Primarily Political - Subjects
Research carried out over the last 30 years in many countries shows that there exists a relationship between post-materialist values and a wide spectrum of social issues, from protection of the environment at one end to voting behaviour at the other. The aim of this article is to verify whether the observed relationships in selected, primarily political issues are valid even in the case of the Czech Republic. The analysed data have been drawn fro…
Determinants in the Relationship to the Protection of the Environment
Accumulated research findings demonstrate associations between environmentalism and standard social structural categories. Among these are age, education, gender, political ideology, religion, and place of residence. Sociodemographic variables are usually less effective in explaining differential support for environmental issues than political ideology and social psychological variables, including attitudes, beliefs, and worldviews. The author us…
Perceived and desired income inequalities
The primary objective of the paper is to present the development of views on perceived and preferred income inequalities in the period from 1991 to 1999. The central question to be explored is: to what extent was the distribution of incomes in the Czech Republic seen as legitimate in the 1990s? To answer this question we analyse two sets of incomes over time: Respondents were asked to estimate the average monthly income of eleven occupations and …
The Early Parliamentary Elections of 1998
The aim of the paper is to describe the voting behaviour of various social and demographic groups of voters in the early general election in 1998. It firstly compares the electorates of the left and of the non-left. Secondly it compares the electorate of particular left-wing parties (SSD and KSM) and the electorate of particular non-left-wing parties (ODS, US, KDU-SL). Thirdly it focuses on the similarities and dissimilarities of ODS and SSD vote…
Introducing Logistic Regression
The aim of this article is to acquaint Czech sociologists who are interested in quantitative methods of data analysis with logistic regression. The logistic regression model has been in use in statistical analyses for many years. It is the standard method for regression analysis of categorical data in many fields. Unfortunately, in the Czech Republic the method is less known, and consequently rarely used. The content of the article is divided int…
The 1998 Early Elections
The article deals with the voting behaviour of various social and demographic groups of voters in the 1998 general election that was called early. On the basis of the results of 1996 and 1998 exit polls it firstly compares the electorates of the left and of the right. Secondly it compares the electorate of particular left-wing parties (SSD and KSM) and then compares the electorates of particular rightwing and centre parties (ODS, US, KDU-SL). Fin…
The Development of Beliefs about Just Income
The aim of the study is to determine whether people's satisfaction with their income and their sense that their income is unjust changed between June 1991 and September 1995. It also considers which factors influenced these feelings and in what way and whether their influence was the same in both periods. Two hypotheses about the relation between justice evaluation and income are tested: justice evaluation as a parabolic and as a logarithmic func…
Turning Left or Class Realignment? Analysis of the Changing Relationship Between Class and Party in the Czech Republic, 1992-96
Income and Justice
The primary objective of the article is to find whether the Czech society considered income differences in 1995 as just and whether they changed their attitudes in comparison with 1992. Deserved incomes and the ratio of actual deserved incomes (as estimated) to deserved incomes for eleven occupations are analysed together with sex, age, education, political orientation, subjective and objective social position. It appears that distributive justic…
Subjective Mobility after 1989. Do People Feel a Social and Economic Improvement or Relative Deprivation
Subjective judgments of social & economic mobility in Hungary, Bulgaria, Poland, Russia, Slovakia, & the Czech Republic are investigated in an analysis of data gathered by the international comparative study, Social Stratification in Eastern Europe after 1989. It is found that in all 6 countries, a sense of improved social position is correlated with social characteristics such as a lower age group & higher level education & profession, while a s…
Une révolution pour qui ? Analyse sélective de modèles de mobilité intragénérationnelle entre 1989 et 1992
Cet article entend contribuer à une meilleure appréhension du processus de transformation post-communiste. Le principal objectif de l'analyse des modèles de mobilité intragénérationnelle entre 1989 et 1992 est de savoir qui monte et qui descend l'échelle sociale durant la première phase de transformation. A long terme, la question des « gagnants » et des « perdants » du post-communisme est essentiellement celle du caractère du changement social e…
