The paper pays attention to the attitudes of people belonging to the majority population of Slovakia toward an ethnic minority of Roma people. The data presented in the paper were collected during the ethnographic research in 2015 in a village located in central Slovakia, in Horehronie region. After presenting the results of the data analysis we outline a theoretical framework, which could be used in designing a future field research. We suggest that the concept of symbolic classifications by Mary Douglas (2003, 2014) and the theory of moral emotions developed by a cultural psychologist Jonathan Haidt (2003) can be combined and implemented. We focus in particular on the group of other-condemning moral emotions.

The aim of the paper is to assess the effects of an intervention program derived from the contact theory of intergroup attitudes toward the Roma minority. A sample of 150 high school students from two midsized towns was randomly assigned to a control group and an experimental group. Participants in the experimental group attended six sessions of a Junior Project Manager program run by a local organization, which included project management lessons, a lesson on the discriminated minority and positive, cooperative direct contact with the Roma minority in work settings. Participant attitudes were measured prior to and after the intervention program. The intervention program had a positive impact on intergroup attitudes, intergroup trust and approach/avoid tendencies and intended future cooperation. The results indicate that this was the first successful attempt to change intergroup attitudes using direct contact in a Slovak context.

The results from the research presented in this article were carried out to capture the changes or eventual disappearance of phenomena of traditional Romani spiritual culture, specifically manifestations of magical thinking. This contribution aims to discuss selected manifestations of magical thinking in the Roma communities in Brno, which have not been mapped so far. These are mainly manifestations of magic that are aimed at harming individuals. Specific attention is paid to acts such as "pokerování" and evil eye "zoči". The present article focuses on understanding how and to what extent magical practices are still used in the environment of Brno's Slovak and Hungarian Roma communities. One of the aims was to take note of the memories of those respondents about the magical practices they had encountered in the past and the related occult practices performed by Romani people in earlier times. The signs of magical thinking are present or not are summarised. Although it appears that magical practices are still abundantly represented in the majority, in comparison with the Slovak-Romani environment we can see their gradual disappearance.

This article explores the potential of international student assessments to measure learning outcomes of Roma students, taking PISA 2009 as example. We find that even though many countries with considerable Roma minorities participated in PISA, Slovakia is the only country that has collected a sufficient large amount of data about Romani-speaking students. Drawing on household surveys, we discuss possible reasons for the underrepresentation of Roma students in international assessments. Furthermore, we disaggregate PISA 2009 data in order to compare learning outcomes between Romani-speaking students and their Slovak- and Hungarian-speaking peers. Results point to multiple disadvantages of Romani-speaking students with regard to pre-school participation, school entry, grade repetition and learning outcomes. Finally, we discuss options to improve the analysis of learning outcomes of Roma students.
