The same problem - the attitudes of the medical students towards the mentally ill people - has been approached by one quantitative and one qualitative method (semantic differential vs. content analysis), and the results have been compared. Furthermore, the sample was divided into two groups. Group 1 consisted of the students who at the time of the research had not yet taken the psychiatry examination; group 2 consisted of those students who had already passed this examination. The attitudes in the two groups were compared. The sample consisted of 125 students from the Medical Faculty of Comenius University in Bratislava, Slovakia. The results show that the attitudes of the medical students towards the people suffering from a mental disease significantly differ from the attitudes in the general population as known from the literature. The attitudes change in the course of the studies, too. When comparing the subjects' evaluations on the numeric scales of the semantic differential and in the open questions, we see that both methods lead to similar results. It can be concluded that the attitudes described by the qualitative method agree with the attitudes described by the quantitative method, and furthermore, that the qualitative method has enabled the research to depict also such evaluations that would have remained hidden when using only semantic differential.

This paper addresses process tracing as a tool for studying causality in case studies. The method of process tracing, which is based on explicit specification of a causal mechanism and formalized treatment of empirical evidence, is intensively developed in political science. However, sociology and other social sciences seem to be turning a blind eye to the method. Therefore, the paper strives to familiarize the Czech and Slovak sociological community with this method and to outline the ongoing discussions about its application. The value of process tracing dwells not only in the elaborate frame for standardization of case studies, but also in the related debates reflecting upon a whole range of general methodological issues. This makes process tracing a valuable lesson in contemporary social science methodology and possibilities in non-experimental analysis of causality.

Against the backdrop of the current popularity of the concept of narrative in the social sciences the authors analyse the uses of narrative analysis in empirical social research and provide a unifying frame based on Paul Ricoeur‘s notion of narrative mimesis. To begin they situate ‘narrative’ in the context of the social research tradition. Using both a simple and an elaborated definition of narrative they outline the main approaches to narrative analysis relevant to sociology and categorize them as structuralist, hermeneutic, or interactionist. The crux of the article is a discussion of Ricoeur’s integrative model of narrative as threefold mimesis and its proposed methodological application in sociological narrative research. The authors argue that Ricoeur’s model obviates undesirable analytical simplifications and encourages research that captures all the substantial aspects of narrative, including the producer (the narrator) and the recipient (the listener or reader).
