The author examines uncertainty and the factors that determine it analysing the two dimensions of uncertainty. Unpredictability is a term used here of situations where people feel that they cannot foresee what will happen in the future, and insecurity refers to situations where there is a negative affective state because of the perception that one cannot know for sure what will happen in the future. In the present study, besides providing a sociological description of uncertainty, three macro- and five micro-theories are tested on how well they can explain the level of the two dimensions of uncertainty (unpredictability, insecurity) and the focus of uncertainty in Hungary. In the case of the macro-hypotheses, assumptions on the uncertainty constellation of the whole Hungarian society are formulated, compared to three other countries (Great Britain, France, Greece). In the case of the micro-hypotheses, assumptions are made about the uncertainty constellations of individuals within Hungary, compared to other Hungarian individuals. The Hungarian part of the empirical material of the study consists of a representative Omnibus survey. To test the macro-hypotheses the author uses survey data from the other three countries examined. The data were collected in the first half of 2002.

The paper aims to challenge the widespread notion, according to which Slovakia and in broader sense the whole Central European region represent a simple transit stage for the refugees on their way to the usual destination areas located in Western Europe. In particular, the author argues that it is necessary to consider insecurity as a significant factor in refugees' decision making concerning their further migration.

A discourse of the term identity is very unambiguous in social sciences. However, there is a prevailing opinion that identity is a social construct which is characterised by plurality of identification relationships. Identity as a non-variable and stable quality of a man is in question and, on the contrary, it is understood as an ongoing process of constructing, defining and re-defining in the interaction of a man with the outer world. From the perspective of constructivism, the identity can be understood as the art of self-creation performed in concrete conditions of a social-cultural environment. In the era of late modernism the art of self-creation is being more significantly performed in the atmosphere of growing insecurity. Insecurity causes problems when building self-confidence, which complicates the process of creating a human identity. We, as consumers, experience certain insecurity when having to choose from a wide range of consumer goods and services. Uncertainty calls for a demand for the trust. Trust causes reduction of insecurity and supports self-confidence as a presumption of creating identity. In the world of consumerism and consumption significance, there is also a growing significance of trademarks and of sellers as possible sources of trust. These sources become an important part of consumers´ self-creation and they become a symbol of social recognition. The inability to participate in the consumers´ world and in the commercial entertainment may cause frustration and humiliation leading to unwanted socially pathological behaviour
