Youtubing as the Construction, Destruction and Restoration of Privacy

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...

The Role of Cognitive Abilities in Assortative Mating: Partner Preferences of Young Adults

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...

Using the Respondent-Driven Sampling Method to Survey Homeless Populations: Basic Principles, Application and Practical Recommendations

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 Use of Statistical and Substantive Significance in the Czech Social Sciences

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...
