The goal of the present research was to identify ways in which people understand the concept of democracy. The second goal was to find out to what extent accepted values can predict understanding of the concept of democracy. It was expected that different values should be associated with differences in meanings ascribed to democracy. These hypotheses were tested with a sample of young people and adults moderately interested in politics, and with young people engaged in political parties. The results were generally consistent with expectations. First, it was found that people revealed differences in understanding of the concept of democracy. The most popular was the concept that referred to normative features of democracy. The remaining two meanings of democracy were: identification of democracy with a welfare state, and with nationalistic and authoritarian rules. Values were found to be related to the accepted meaning of democracy: some values (e.g., Tradition, Egalitarianism) had more effect on political thinking than others (e.g., Hedonism). The relationship between values and the way participants understood democracy turned out to be moderated by the level of engagement in politics.

The aim of this study is to explore the sources of attitude constraints regarding the role of government in the economy, and to find out whether the sources of these constraints are the same as in Western democracies. Use is made of Converse's approach to conceptualize attitude constraint where an individual's belief system is seen to be a configuration of attitudes and values characterized by a functional interdependence, or constraint. This constraint may be interpreted in terms of the probability of being able to predict one attitude having knowledge of another. In this study, there is a review of the sources of attitude constraint and related measurement issues. Using ISSP 2006 (Role of Government module) an analysis of attitudinal constraints is presented using two attitudinal scales. This research confirms that the sources of attitude constraint in the Czech Republic are similar to those observed in Western Europe and the USA. Specifically, class, education, and other social-demographic variables are shown to have very limited effects. Moreover, Converse's contention that attitude constraints are strongly determined by political involvement, political knowledge, or party identification is also shown to be valid for Czech society.
