Every city is a sphere in which schools competing for potential students are situated. The aim of this article is to specify which factors determine decisions concerning city inhabitants' school choices. During the analysis of collected empirical material, the authoress intends to verify the hypothesis claiming that the area in a city where the school is situated has less and less influence on young people's educational choices. It appears that, on making such decisions, youngsters tend to consider a particular school's reputation and position, not the distance between the school and their place of living. Due to this fact, schools are becoming institutions which can potentially generate spatial movement among citizens. If it appears that a particular school is 'better' than others, more and more people are willing to become regular commuters. The authoress found one problem particularly interesting, namely, whether schools have become places assembling students of a similar social position and status. It can be observed that students whose parents have higher education and jobs of high social recognition more often attend 'better' schools.

In the article, the author examines the transformation of the health status of three separate age categories, using the data collected during the last three editions of Polish Panel Survey POLPAN which took place in 1998, 2003 and 2008. A subjective assessment of respondents is the indicator of their health status. The respondents answered the question: How, in general, do you asses your health status compared to the state of health of most people in your age? A ten-year-perspective and three surveys allow to analyse health assessment of the respondents, who in 1998 were among the youngest cohorts covered by the study (generation of 21-25-year-olds). Additionally, it is possible to compare the distribution of these variables for three successive generations surveyed by POLPAN. In the course of analysis the author also tries to answer the question whether one can speak of generational conditioning of health assessment. Or, rather, social factors that influence the location of the individual in the social structure affect the assessment? Using regression models and logistic regression, the author compares the strength of the relationship between the assessment of health status of respondents and their generational membership, and evaluation of health status and such variables as sex, education, employment situation, financial problems present in the household of the respondents.

This article is an attempt at answering the question of how women experiencing primary procreative problems define femininity. The analysis is based on the chosen fragments of interviews conducted with thirty-seven women experiencing primary procreative problems, realized by us within the research programme “From socially-determined health to social health: ways of coping with procreative problems”. In order to reconstruct the types of femininity represented by women experiencing primary procreative problems, we have analyzed the answers the participants gave to the questions relating to the place of motherhood in their future plans, reasons for making the decision to start trying for a baby, reminiscences of the early period of procreative actions and their ways of approaching the question of what it means to them to be a woman. The analysis of the collected empirical material allowed us to distinguish four types of femininity represented by women experiencing primary procreative problems – a questioned femininity, an incomplete femininity, a despite-it-all femininity and a suspended femininity. Identifying these four types of femininity represented by women experiencing primary procreative problems, allowed us to indicate the various ways in which procreative problems influence the definition of femininity for women experiencing them. However, despite all the identified differences, we can state that in most of the analysed cases, these problems have a negative impact on the way in which women experiencing them answer the question of what it means for them to be a woman.

Celem artykułu jest przyjrzenie się doświadczeniom kobiet związanym z oczekiwaniami społecznymi dotyczącymi posiadania dzieci. Oczekiwania te wyrażane są poprzez pytania o plany prokreacyjne. Dzięki potraktowaniu doświadczenia prokreacyjnego jako procesu w artykule zrekonstruowano zmiany znaczenia, jakie badane kobiety przypisywały tego typu pytaniom na różnych jego etapach: od etapu przed rozpoczęciem starań o dziecko, poprzez etap początkowy starań o dziecko, etap diagnostyczny, aż do uzyskania diagnozy niepłodności. Kobiety, stojąc przed lustrem społecznych oczekiwań na etapie przed rozpoczęciem przez nie starań o dziecko, widziały w nim swoją przyszłość – siebie w roli matki. Na etapie początkowym starań o dziecko badane dostrzegały w nim swoją bardzo niedaleką przyszłość – siebie w roli kobiety ciężarnej. Na etapie diagnostycznym, aż do uzyskania diagnozy niepłodności, stojąc przed lustrem społecznych oczekiwań, kobiety widziały już tylko swoją niepewną przyszłość – siebie, która bardzo chce, ale nie jest już pewna, czy uda jej się zostać matką.

The aim of this article is to overview women’s experiences in view of social expectations about having children. Such expectations are frequently implied in questions about procreation plans. Since the procreative experience was considered by the author as a process, it was possible to reconstruct changes in the meaning that the researched women ascribed to such questions at different stages of this experience, i.e. from the period prior to trying for a child, through the initial stage of trying to conceive, to the diagnostic stage until being given a diagnosis of infertility. At the stage prior to trying for a child, standing in front of the mirror of social expectations, the women saw themselves in the role of future mothers. At the initial stage of trying to conceive, seeing themselves in the mirror, the interviewed women saw themselves as pregnant women in near future. At the diagnostic stage until being given a diagnosis of infertility, the women saw only their uncertain future, i.e. themselves who wanted to have children very much, but were no longer certain whether they would become mothers.

The research presented in the article focused on negative prescriptive stereotypes of femininity and masculinity. The aim of the research performed was to identify definitions of non-femininity and non-masculinity of student women. The study was conducted using a diagnostic survey method and a self-completed survey questionnaire on a randomly selected sample of 1152 female students. Statistical processing was performed in the PS IMAGO statistical package. Analysis revealed that female students’ definitions of non-femininity and non-masculinity mainly reflect the traditional model of femininity and masculinity, but attitudes towards the obligatory validity of this model are waning.
