Anna De Bayas Sanchez, Jitka Fialová, Hana Konečná, Francisco Güell

Sociologický časopis / Czech Sociological Review 2024, 60(3): 321-346 | DOI: 10.13060/csr.2024.019  

There is a high demand for egg donors in the Czech Republic, driven by international couples’ interest in assisted reproductive procedures due to affordable treatment, no waiting list, and an extended age limit for recipients up to 49 years. For a population of 10.5 million, the country has 48 reproductive clinics. This study aims to evaluate Czech egg donor recruitment campaigns through the lens of free, informed, and specific consent requirements. A quantitative-qualitative analysis of recruitment strategies from 29 unique clinic websites in Czechia was conducted, with 12 sites specifically designed for marketing purposes. The analysis was...

Working in the context of a rather ethnically homogeneous country, this study examines what differentiates the social distance of university students towards Arab, Ukrainian, Vietnamese and Roma populations. The hitherto neglected effect of the field of study is also of special concern. The authors analysed the results of a large online survey of 3,912 Palacký University students in the Czech Republic. Inspired by Bogardus’s social distance scale, we ascertained a significantly greater acceptability of Ukrainians and Vietnamese, on the one hand, and a higher distance towards Arabs and the Roma, on the other hand. Neither the liberalising influence...

The Well-Informed Critique of the Economy: A Study of Lay Economic Reasoning in UkraineStati

Maksym Kolomoiets, Martin Hájek

Sociologický časopis / Czech Sociological Review 2024, 60(3): 267-294 | DOI: 10.13060/csr.2024.020  

This article provides insight into the lay economic reasoning process through a qualitative gamification-method study conducted in Ukraine. Rather than economically naive individuals, laypeople in the study present themselves as Schützean well-informed citizens who are aware of expert knowledge and capable of using a metapragmatic register of critique in the discussion of the economic reality at hand. The doxic elements of lay economic knowledge, as an obstacle for metapragmatic reasoning, were also revealed in the study. The Ukrainian context of the research ensured that the respondents’ economic claims were, on the one hand, largely separated...

A Crusade for Social Anthropology: An Analysis of Politics in Post-Socialist DebatesStati

Sociologický časopis / Czech Sociological Review 2024, 60(3): 239-266 | DOI: 10.13060/csr.2023.054  

This article aims to apply critical scrutiny to post-socialist discourse, an ongoing series of debates concerning the relationship between sociocultural anthropology and ethnology in the countries of Central and Eastern Europe (CEE). To achieve my goal, I single out Petr Skalník’s writings and subject them to twofold scrutiny. In the first part of my article, I offer factual criticism and point out the factual shortcomings of his work. The second part of the article puts the writings under sociological scrutiny, based on what I call a ‘political reading’, and proceeding from the sociology of science of Pierre Bourdieu. This perspective...

Proč jsou podle Aristotela demokracie a oligarchie nejdůležitější „ústavy“ a v čem se zásadně liší?Stati

Miroslav Novák

Sociologický časopis / Czech Sociological Review 2024, 60(2): 187-211 | DOI: 10.13060/csr.2023.033  

According to Aristotle, democracy and oligarchy are empirically the most widespread and analytically fundamental ‘constitutions’. I analyse how in different places in his Politics Aristotle ‘positively’ defines and differentiates between democracy and oligarchy. At the same time, I substantiate in detail a new interpretation of Aristotle‘s view that significantly differs from the current interpretation. ‘Combining’ the elements, procedures, and principles of democracy and oligarchy gives rise to mixed 'constitutions', a special place among which is occupied by the politeia or republic, which is the best regime...

Násilí, předsudky a lidé s postižením: Uvedení do výzkumu disablistických trestných činů z nenávistiStati

Violence against disabled people has recently been recognised as an important, albeit neglected research topic. Drawing attention to violence motivated by anti-disability bias, this article offers an introduction to research on disablist hate crime. First, it presents a conceptualisation of hate crime and explains such concepts as disablism and ableism. Second, it discusses the concept of disability/disablist hate crime and analyses four areas that reflect the multifaceted nature of disability hate crime research and the social applications of the concept, ranging from conceptual issues to empirical findings, to political implications. These issues...

Proporcionalita, integrační účinek a legitimita volebního systému do Poslanecké sněmovny: Simulační studie dopadů D’Hondtova dělitele, Imperialiho kvóty a Hareovy kvótyStati

Although the change in the electoral system used in elections to the Chamber of Deputies has attracted the attention of lawyers, political scientists, and sociologists, we still lack a comprehensive comparative analysis of the new system with the original one or other alternatives. The main reason for this is the lack of empirical data. This article overcomes this problem using a simulation of electoral results that correspond to the real Czech election environment. On the basis of this simulated dataset it is possible to generate generalisable conclusions about the proportionality, integration effect, and legitimacy of three electoral formulas: the...

Sociologický časopis / Czech Sociological Review 2024, 60(1): 67-93 | DOI: 10.13060/csr.2024.001  

This article studies the links between a country’s labour force participation rate and attitudes towards income redistribution. The article also demonstrates how to specify a multilevel model when analysing contextual effects and it presents several types of random effects structures and options for centering explanatory variables in comparative longitudinal survey data. The contextual effect is decomposed into longitudinal and cross-sectional components for time-varying contextual variables, such as the labour force participation rate. The analysis of redistribution support based on ESS data from 27 countries and nine rounds shows how fundamentally...

This study provides the first comprehensive introduction to exponential random graph models (ERGM) in the Czech academic literature. In it we apply ERGM to a network of 68 organisations involved in the Czech coal policy subsystem. First, we summarise the major limitations of the statistical modelling of network data arising from the interdependencies among observations and explain principled solutions to them provided by ERGM. Next, we discuss ERGM’s metatheoretical assumptions and their embeddedness within the broader context of social science research. We then introduce three types of relational mechanisms (endogenous, individual, and dyadic)...

Testování psychometrických vlastností a ekvivalence české verze škály spokojenosti se životem (SWLS) pomocí metod konfirmační faktorové analýzy, teorie odpovědi na položku a bayesovského modelováníStati

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 in the Czech Republic. The research sample consists of 960 respondents aged 18 to 69 years. The results confirmed that the psychometric properties...
