Although the complex reasons underlying parents’ decision whether to vaccinate their children have been largely unraveled a socio-cognitive perspective on the representational field of vaccination is missing. This study is a contribution to fill such a gap. A sample of 309 Portuguese mothers with children aged 0-6 years answered a self-administered questionnaire. Results show that psychosocial variables such as the number of children modulate mothers’ representations of vaccination as a matter of freedom of choice and preference for natural immunity, while age of children and having (or not) searched for information influence their confidence in vaccines. Also, results show that representations related to freedom of choice, preference for natural immunity, and conspiracy theories are positively predicted by individualism values and a dependent decision-making style, whereas confidence in vaccines is positively associated with universalism values and a rational decision-making style. We discuss the implications of the socio-cognitive dynamics organizing mothers’ representations about vaccines and vaccination for the understanding of behaviours about vaccines and the development of tailored measures for vaccination promotion.

The studies from recent years focused on perceived safety repeatedly showed, that women are more afraid. In our study we analysed the data from European Social Survey. In our analysis we chose only women and specifically two groups – mothers living with partner and living without partner. The comparisons showed that in general mothers living with partner are less worried than mothers living without partner. We examined the differences between these two groups in different European countries. Regression analysis showed that the strongest predictor of perceived safety and fear of crime in women is the experience of personal victimization.

The study presents the results of ethnographic interviews with selected mothers of Slovak kindergarten children and compares these results with the relevant English-American studies aimed at engagement of mothers in early education in relation to their educational and professional status. The research is focused on mothers’ preschool and primary school choice, engagement of mothers in preparation for the first grade of primary school, education values of mothers in relation to their school participation and perception. The study confirms the strong social differentiation in perception of education and in engagement of mothers in child’s schooling, although in comparison with English-American context there does not exists an extensive systemic social segregation in preschool education provision in Slovakia.
