THE EFFECT OF CZECH CONSUMERS’ SOCIODEMOGRAPHIC CHARACTERISTICS ON FAIRTRADE GOODS BUYING

Author(s): Linda Plaváková,Ondřej Částek / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

Ethical consumerism is a growing field. It attracts increasingly more attention not only from the supply and demand sides, but also from researchers. Numerous surveys are trying to describe consumers’ behavior, many studies are trying to identify and analyze what contributes to the higher ethical consumption. Yet, we can claim that in the case of the Czech Republic, though ethical consumerism is not really a terra incognita here, the evidence is still not comprehensive. This paper therefore aims to fill a gap in the understanding of Czech Fairtrade goods consumers. Namely, the sociodemographic characteristics and their effect on Fairtrade goods consumption will be examined. The results show that women tend to buy Fairtrade goods more often. University educated and younger consumers more often decide to buy Fairtrade goods, but once they decide so, the effect on the frequency of their purchases is not very clear. It is also possible that the effect of age is only spurious.

The chapter presents a research study focused on the role of family therapy in the child‘s life and its merit in the whole family system. We proceeded from the analysis of six foreign language reports, in which the authors deal with children in institutional care, substitute family care and the hospitalization of children. All research defines the importance of family therapy in the process of change that is expected from the family system or its well-founded role in preparing the family for new situations. Based on the analysis, we have defined the importance of family therapy as a means of understanding the family situation, enhancing the competencies of its members, coping with the family burden as well as unifying the family and strengthening the area of functional behaviour. We also investigated the situations in which family therapists are sought after abroad, where researchers often encounter not only child-threatening situations (maltreatment, trauma, hospitalization), but also the preparation for alternative family care and, last but not least, the issue of the disturbance of emotional ties. We also looked at the demands of professionals involved in the change process in the child‘s family. The authors also mention the importance of interdisciplinary cooperation.

Retail and shopping behavior in small towns in Slovakia (example study of Zlaté Moravce town)

Author(s): Miroslava Trembošová,Alena Dubcova,Natália Horná / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

In the past 15 years we have been involved in the rapid development of retail in Slovakia. Its globalization trends, materialized in shopping malls, often built on a ‚green field‘ along major communication lines, have had a significant impact on commercial suburbanization. The „pulling“ of large-scale retail centers on the outskirts of the city significantly affects the state and further development in the central part of the city, with frequent consequences (deadening) of traditional retail zones, many times leading to their disappearance. The new shopping zones change the mode of the time fund and the adopted daily cycles of shopping life for both urban and rural populations and promote consumerism. A number of elements adapt to this phenomenon, e.g. transport networks and parking facilities, opening hours of shops, monitoring the convenience of purchases through prices in leaflets between the traditional and new zone, synergy of non-commercial services, spending leisure time. Nowadays we are witnessing the penetration of foreign retail companies into the medium-sized to small towns of Slovakia and its changes in concentration, integration and internationalization. The aim of the paper is a brief description of the retail network in the typically small Slovak town of Zlaté Moravce. The next section presents the results of a survey of consumer buying behavior and evaluation of its conclusions.

Author(s): Emil Řepka,Lenka Glückseligová / Language(s): Czech Publication Year: 0

An analysis of the younger school-age children lifestyle requires getting facts about their real behavior in the environment where they live. The aim of the study was to find out how children in small rural schools follow the rules of healthy lifestyle in everyday life. The research was attended by 78 pupils attending a small rural school. Their average age was 9.9 years. Of the total number, there were 41 boys and 37 girls. Schools were located in municipalities with less than 2000 inhabitants. Questionnaires of the daily regime of pupils (Řehulka, E., 1987) were used to determine the rate of sleep, the feeling of fatigue and the balance between work and rest. To register the weekly motion activity was used the YAMAX pedometer. Children fulfill the recommended sleep amount for their age. We did not find the difference between the sexes in the feeling of fatigue. Differences in work and rest balance between boys and girls are negligible.

Profil návštěvníka venkovské destinace cestovního ruchu

Author(s): Astrida Blanařová / Language(s): Czech Publication Year: 0

Znalost spotřebitelského chování je pro každou oblast průmyslu nedocenitelná. Je tomu tak i v cestovním ruchu, kde nelze obecně říci, že všichni návštěvníci destinací mají stejné potřeby. Stejně jako jsou diferencované destinace jedna od druhé, je potřeba odlišovat návštěvníky městských destinací od návštěvníků destinací venkovských. Lze očekávat, že každý z návštěvníků má jiné priority v tom, co a jakým způsobem chce poznávat. Venkovský návštěvník má svá specifika, jejichž odhalení může pomoci rozvoji destinací i jednotlivých služeb. Cílem této kapitoly je představit profil návštěvníka venkovské destinace cestovního ruchu v České republice. Každý návštěvník je jiný, ale jde o nalezení společných znaků návštěvníků přijíždějících do tohoto typu destinace. Zjišťováno bylo například to, jakým způsobem se návštěvník do destinace dopraví, kde se ubytovává, jaké vyhledává aktivity a podobně. Jak uvádí Eurostat (2017), v roce 2015 bylo v České republice více než 60 % lůžek ve venkovských destinacích cestovního ruchu. Lze tak tento cestovní ruch považovat za převládající, a je tedy potřeba se více zaměřit na bližší specifikaci návštěvníků těchto destinací.

Author(s): Katarína Hájková,Martin Sedlár / Language(s): Slovak Publication Year: 0

The study focuses on the Big Five personality traits and locus of control in the relationship with decision-making styles. The research sample consisted of 226 students (65 males, 161 females) from various Slovak universities. Big Five Inventory (John & Srivastava, 1999), Internal-External Scale (Rotter, 1966) and General Decision-Making Styles (Scott & Bruce, 1995) were used to measure the defined characteristics. Correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis was conducted. The results showed that each personality trait contribute to the prediction of at least one decision-making style: conscientiousness and openness to experience to rational style; openness to experience and agreeableness to intuitive style; neuroticism and agreeableness to dependent style; conscientiousness, neuroticism and agreeableness to avoidant style; conscientiousness, openness to experience and extraversion to spontaneous style. Dependent decision-making style is predicted also by locus of control. These findings are discussed from the perspective of adaptive and non-adaptive decision-making styles.

Stress coping in patients with inflammatory bowel diseases

Author(s): Pavel Humpolíček,Lucie Adolfová / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

The aim of the study is to compare personality characteristics and coping strategies in patients with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) - Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) in the background of physiological theories of stress, psychoneuroimunology and psychoneuroendocrinology. The main hypotheses were that patients with IBD score higher in neuroticism and conscientiousness, use more negative coping strategies and consequently suffer from more stress. A group of 25 IBD patients was investigated and compared to 25 respondents without the disease. The used questionnaires were NEO-FFI, SVF 78 and Stress Profile. The results of parametric t-tests and non-parametric Mann Whitney U tests confirmed that patients with active disease and in remission as well scored higher in neuroticism and used more negative coping strategies (specifically in Resignation and Self-accusation). At all the patients the neuroticism correlates with using negative coping strategies (ρ=0,692; p<0,001), but not at the group of non-patients. Relapsed patients suffer from stress more than non-patients.

Author(s): Gabriela Kvasničková,Lenka Siklenková,Diana Filčíková,Aneta Kubranská,Daniela Ostatníková,Mária Vidošovičová / Language(s): Slovak Publication Year: 0

Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterised by triad of symptoms: deficits in social interaction, deficits in communication and restrictive repetitive behaviour. In the diagnostic process it is recommended to use combination of two diagnostic tools- Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule– second edition (ADOS-2; Lord et al., 2012) and Autism Diagnostic Interview- Revised (ADI-R; Rutter et al., 2003). The aim of this study is to compare chosen behavioral parameters acquired from both ADOS-2 and ADI-R examinations and to evaluate ability of parents to see certain autistic symptoms in their children. In group of 77 children we examined 9 selected parameters. Results suggest that parents are more sensible to deficits in social interactions and less sensible to occurrence of stereotyped behaviour in their children. It seems that parents are not aware of these signs being part of symptomatology of autism spectrum disorders.
