Intimate Relationship Types as Quality-of-Life Predictors in Emerging Adulthood
This study investigates how distinct configurations of intimacy, passion, and commitment within romantic relationships predict quality of life (QoL) among emerging adults. Drawing on Sternberg’s Triangular Theory of Love (1986) and employing a person-centred approach through Latent Profile Analysis (LPA), the research identifies four relational profiles ( Sex , Love , Love and Sex , and Complex Relationship ) in a representative sample of Slovak …
The romantic relationships of marginalised Roma youth as a gradual process of emancipation from communal constraints
This article explores the cultural meanings of romantic relationships among youth in excluded Roma settlements in Slovakia. Moving beyond pathologising narratives on early pregnancy and domestic violence, we centre the voices of 24 Roma young people aged 18-22, using constructivist qualitative analysis and member-checking with three participants. Through analysis, we created four themes. The first (Grown-up in a Day) frames romantic relationships…

Kto na Slovensku perie partnerskú bielizeň? O partnerských vzťahoch z rodového hľadiska z pohľadu psychológie a kultúrnej antropológie
In this study, we loosely draw on the assumptions of cultural intimacy theory (Herzfeld, 2005) that there is something like shared knowledge and emotional attachment to certain cultural stereotypes in every nation.We suggest that in the area of intimate partner relationships, such cultural intimacy is currently gender stereotyped and imbalanced in partner relationships that stem from a patriarchal power model that is disadvantageous to women.Howe…
A misfortune or a benefit? Young people’s quality of life and romantic relationships during the Covid-19 pandemic
The Covid-19 pandemic has brought unexpected changes in important aspects of young people’s lives. The academic literature contains many studies on the risks and adverse effects, while any potential positive aspects have been side-lined. This paper examines quality of life and relationships among young people in emerging and young adulthood in order to identify the negatives and benefits of the pandemic. In this qualitative research a “letter to …
Symbolic coping: Young people’s perspectives during the Covid-19 pandemic in three Central European countries
The aim of this study was to find out what interpretive repertoires young people use in the symbolic management of the pandemic. Qualitative research using several methods on a sample of 172 young people in three countries, Slovakia, the Czech Republic and Austria, and the subsequent discursive analysis showed that young people symbolically coped during the Covid-19 pandemic with the help of widespread concepts such as cutting off, closing sci-fi…
Individual representations of love and their social and cultural resources
Many scholars consider love to be a complex phenomenon with multiple social, cultural and biological dimensions and contexts. The aim of this study was to examine individual representations of love among young people in emerging adulthood and the sources they are derived from. The survey completed by a sample of 397 young people aged 18–29 showed that all the representations of love can be structured into five factors of love: 1. strength and pos…
Quality of life in children brought up by married and cohabiting couples
Under the Second Demographic Transition, alternative forms of living arrangement are on the rise. The aim of this article is to compare quality of life in children living in married and cohabiting families. We present the results of representative research conducted in Slovakia in 2018 (N = 1,010 respondents). We tested whether children brought up in traditional married families had better material resources and healthcare, fewer behavioural prob…

Resilience of Young People in Residential Care
Children and young people in residential care may have experienced or may experience various difficult, life-threatening events, such as neglect, abuse, or violence and maltreatment known as adversities. Despite this, some of them are able to function and even prosper and this has been attributed to the development of resilience. In this qualitative empirical study, we focus on the under-researched area of how young people in care reflect on and …
Representations of love in the early stages of love
Love, especially romantic and partnership love, has been a legitimate research theme in social science since the mid-twentieth century. In the research less attention is paid to how personal conceptions of love are formed within specific sociocultural contexts. One question that emerges in relation to social representations theory is: how are ideas about love, or knowledge of love, re-presented among particular social groups and which sociocultur…
School culture at risk of political and methodological expropriation
The aim of this article is to problematize the concept of school culture both as a concept and as a subject of investigation. It deals with the historical roots of this concept and the fact that it is shrinking—a consequence of the managerial imperatives of effectiveness and accountability in education. School culture, in relation to the quality of schools and the quality of education, has become the subject of audits, arrived at through a develo…
Sexual lifestyles in the field of cultural demands
In the research we focus on the construction of the sexual lifestyles of young people—undergraduates—in Slovakia and ask “which cultural sources are used?” and “which cultural demands exert pressures on these constructions?” The analysis was based on the answers respondents provided to a questionnaire relating to the preferences of values, aspirations regarding partner and sexual life as well as the socio-economic background of respondents. On th…
Analysis of the Slovak Discourses of Sex Education Inspired by Michel Foucault
Analysis of the Slovak Discourses of Sex Education Inspired by Michel Foucault The aims, rules and topics of sex education exist on paper, but have yet to be implemented in Slovakia. Although the curriculum creates the illusion of openness in this field, the silence on sex education in schools provides space for the alternative, "more valuable" quiet discourses of religious education. Under these conditions, it is silence that is proving to be an…

These accounts are presented in relation to three emergent themes: (a) traditionalism/liberalism; (b) locus of responsibility; and (c) the relationshi…
