Tńis participation in the company's cultural life was analyzed in its institutional and quantitative dimensions. The author was trying to determine the degree and scope of respondents participation in this type of activities, its forms and kinds. Along with description of their participation in cultural events and work of cultural institutions, attempts were made at obtaining information about their participation in organization and promotion of cultural and educational activities in the work establishment, and thus participating not only in the area of reception of created and transferred contents. The author was also interested in determining the knowledge of his respondents about contents and organization of “cultural life" in the work establishment, and “degree of the interest taken by them" in this form of activities. Of an equally great interest was to define the social location of revealed differences in behavioural attitudes of this kind, and to examine their objective and social determinants. Simultaneously the author was trying to determine to what degree and to what extent this specific type of contacts with culture as offered by an industrial company to its employees is revealed in practice in the cultural experience of the respondents. It was also equally important to determine to what extent the functions of this quite specific cultural system are subject to specialization, and which of these functions play a predominant role, which of them are becoming gradually reduced, and which completely disappear. 1982-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/11089/9240 Ocena pytań kwestionariusza wywiadu na temat struktury społecznej Przybyłowska, Ilona The aim of the study, was a methodological evaluation of questions included in questionnaires commonly applied in sociological research on the social structure. The questions are analyzed from the point of view of their competence and effectiveness. By competence the author means their efficiency in providing unit information sought by the interviewer. Thus to determine the competence of a given question it is necessary to determine the number of significant answers. Effectiveness of the questions refers to their efficiency in supplying true and sought information. And accordingly determination of the effectiveness of a given question boils down to estimation of the number of accurate answers. The above evaluation of questionnaire questions is mainly based on results of verification studies carried out by a research team from the Department of Methods and Techniques of Social Studies at the University of Łódź over the period of 1976-1977. 1982-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/11089/9239 Nauczyciele w strukturze społeczno-zawodowej Kawka, Zdzisława; Lewandowski, Edmund; Rokicka, Ewa The article provides a sociological characteristic of teachers from the viewpoint of features placing this category in a wider social structure. The analysis encompasses also the degree of internal coherence of this category. It is but a fragment of more extensive analyses concerning the place of teachers in the society's macrostructure. The study reveals that teachers represent a socio-professional category, which is characterized with a specific structure of social features typical for the inteligentsia and here mainly in the area of the level of educational background and cultural consumption and, to a smaller extent, in the area of performed managerial functions (absence of expanded formal hierarchic structure in the education system) and income levels. They represent the most numerous professional category among the intelligentsia (not counting technicians). According to the estimates of the teachers themselves their social position is closest to that of civil officers, and it is estimated to be each lower than that of doctors, lawyers, and engineers. And oven though the teachers do not constitute an internally fully homogeneous category - the educational background proved to be a main dimension of differentiation - they display distinct features of a socio-professional group. This is confirmed among others by the observed strong tendency towards maintaining social and marital contacts within their own professional category, convergence of estimates as regards the socio-professional position held by them as well os observance of their own specific attitude to work or personality features. Summing it up the authors believe that teachers may constitute along with other professional categories a sociological unit of studies on the social structure. 1982-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/11089/9237 Literatura popularna a jej odbiorcy Rokuszewska-Pawełek, Alicja In the article there are presented initial results of empiric researches on reception of the popular literaiure. The researches were based on an example of the social reception of one of its basic types - the detective story. Presentation of researches findings is preceded by a short description of the type of messaqe being subject to reception. The researches were carried on a small purposing sample. The author conducted 80 free interviews with respondents differentiated mainly with regard to their educational background. The object of the analysis was this fragment of colloquial responses in which different reception attitudes and different trends in readers' areas of interest were revealed. They were connected with a procedure of partial autonomization of different components of a literary work being performed by readers in the course of reading as weil as with organization of the reception around different substantiation norms. The analysis pointing at clear limitation of the social reception conditions in relation to popular novels simultaneously shows that from the point of view of reception, readers, attitudes, and real functions it is not a homogeneous and fully standardized area. 1982-01-01T00:00:00Z
