The Use of Statistical and Substantive Significance in the Czech Social SciencesArticles
Petr Soukup
Sociologický časopis / Czech Sociological Review 2019, 55(2): 215-254 | DOI: 10.13060/00380288.2019.55.2.459
The aim of the article is to quantify how often in leading Czech social-science journals (Československá psychologie / Czechoslovak Psychology, Pedagogika/Pedagogy, and Sociologický časopis / Czech Sociological Review) authors choose the wrong procedures to analyse quantitative data. In particular, attention is focused on the incorrect choice of statistical tests, their misinterpretation and mechanical application, and the use of effect sizes, that are so highly recommended nowadays. The basic research period was ten years, from 2005 to 2014, and for the Czech Sociological Review the period was extended back to 1995. The results of the content analysis...
Using the Respondent-Driven Sampling Method to Survey Homeless Populations: Basic Principles, Application and Practical RecommendationsArticles
Hana Daňková, Josef Bernard, Petr Vašát
Sociologický časopis / Czech Sociological Review 2019, 55(2): 189-214 | DOI: 10.13060/00380288.2019.55.2.458
Respondent-driven sampling (RDS) is a survey method used to create samples of populations that are hidden and hard to reach. Even though the method has been used since the 1990s in studies internationally, it has not yet been used in Czech research. The RDS methodology tends to be described presented as a statistical tool that makes it possible to produce unbiased estimates of hidden or hard-to-reach populations, and at the same as a tool with which to effectively recruit respondents from the given populations. The goal of the article is to introduce RDS methodology and its uses and to present and assess its application in a homeless survey conducted...
The Role of Cognitive Abilities in Assortative Mating: Partner Preferences of Young AdultsArticles
Markéta Šetinová, Jana Klímová Chaloupková
Sociologický časopis / Czech Sociological Review 2019, 55(2): 161-188 | DOI: 10.13060/00380288.2019.55.2.457
This article focuses on the relationship between young adults' cognitive abilities and individual partner preferences. We worked with the Preference NSZ 2017 data set, which contains data on partner preferences and the results of the National Comparative Secondary-School Exams of Czech high school graduates, and our analyses, using logistic regression, confirmed a tendency towards homophily on the level of cognitive abilities and university education. Young people with above-average results place more importance on agreement in political opinions, but do not regard the partner's homemaking abilities or financial situation as too important. The results...
Youtubing as the Construction, Destruction and Restoration of PrivacyArticles
Lukáš Slavík, Pavel Pospěch
Sociologický časopis / Czech Sociological Review 2019, 55(2): 135-160 | DOI: 10.13060/00380288.2019.55.2.456
The study focuses on privacy in online social networks. It presents an empirical analysis of youtubers, a group that has not yet been studied in the Czech social sciences. Using interpretive phenomenological analysis and in-depth interviews, we show that there is a typical 'career' trajectory that youtubers proceed along, whose structure is determined by experiences of breach of privacy and by mechanisms of reparation. These mechanisms and practices must be employed in order to resolve a fundamental tension between the demand for self-disclosure, arising out of confessional culture and the ideology of authenticity, and the parallel demand for retaining...

Siblinghood in Older Age: A Contribution to a Theoretical DiscussionArticles
Dana Sýkorová
Sociologický časopis / Czech Sociological Review 2019, 55(1): 87-110 | DOI: 10.13060/00380288.2019.55.1.449
This article examines the issue of siblinghood in older age. The author starts by referring to sociological studies criticising the a-theoricity of empirical research in this field. She proceeds to analyse the most influential theoretical approaches used to study relationships between parents and their adult children (i.e. the theory of intergenerational solidarity and the theory/concept of intergenerational ambivalence) and to critically assess their potential to serve as a guideline for empirical research on siblinghood and provide a framework for interpreting research findings on intragenerational/sibling relationships. The article devotes more...
Working at the Checkout: Flexible Organisation in Supermarkets and the Precarisation of WorkArticles
Tomáš Bek
Sociologický časopis / Czech Sociological Review 2019, 55(1): 61-86 | DOI: 10.13060/00380288.2019.55.1.448
Research on precarious work and the working conditions of low-wage workers often stresses the role of the labour market or state institutions in either creating or exacerbating already precarious working conditions. However, it often ignores their organisational aspects. At the same time, in organisation studies there is a large body of literature that focuses on internal organisational structures but disregards working conditions. This article is based on a case study of supermarket cashiers and deals with the flexibilisation of their work. Firms use two forms of flexibility as a cost-cutting strategy: numerical and functional flexibility. Numerical...
Changes in the Parental Benefit Scheme in the Czech Republic and Their Potential Impact on Reproductive BehaviourArticles
Anna Šťastná
Sociologický časopis / Czech Sociological Review 2019, 55(1): 31-60 | DOI: 10.13060/00380288.2019.55.1.447
Childcare leave schemes are one of the key measures that affect the ability of women and men to balance their work and family lives. Both the length of the parental leave period and the amount of the benefit have the potential to shape the timing of a subsequent birth. Important changes have been introduced into the Czech parental benefit scheme over the last 10 years in terms of both the scheme's flexibility and the monthly amount of the benefit, which has provided a unique opportunity for studying the links between the institutional conditions of parenthood and the behaviour of real stakeholders. Using data on births from the Czech Statistical Office...
Fears and Difficulties in the Early Stage of Parenthood: Findings from a Longitudinal Study of First-Time ParentsArticles
Olga Nešporová
Sociologický časopis / Czech Sociological Review 2019, 55(1): 3-30 | DOI: 10.13060/00380288.2019.55.1.446
The article focuses on the concerns of Czech expectant parents and their subsequent life difficulties. A qualitative longitudinal methodology was used to study parental experiences for a period of around four years. Three waves of semi-structured interviews were conducted with sixteen dual-earner parental couples who had their first child in 2011 or 2012. An analysis of 93 interviews revealed that the fears of the parents-to-be principally concerned childcare, paid work, free time, the relationships, and health. Actual experience of difficulties in these areas was often mentioned by different respondents from those who had expected to have them. The...
