Recently, researchers have shown an increased interest in examining the impact of individual characteristics of voters (personality traits, attitudes and personal values) on a political choice. The aim of this paper is to examine the relationships between voters› basic values, their political orientation and voting behavior in Polish national election in 2011. Personal values were treated as a cognitive representations of desirable, abstract goals. According to Schwartz's theory, there are 10 basic, universal values (power, achievement, hedonism, stimulation, selfdirection, universalism, benevolence, tradition, conformity, and security), organized into four higher-level types (conservation, openness to change, self-transcendence and self-enhancement). To assess the participants› basic values, the Schwartz's Portrait Value Questionnaire was used. Comparisons between the groups of voters were made using the ANOVA method and the Tukey's post-hoc tests. The results of the study indicate that right-wing voters scored higher in tradition, conformity and benevolence and lower in self-direction, achievement, stimulation and hedonism than left-wing and centre voters. Voters' political party preferences were associated with distinct value profiles. According to the results of the research, voters' personal values can be important for understanding and predicting voting behavior.

Subjective causes of poverty can be divided into two groups – internal and external. The internal group explains the existence of those in need by laziness of the last. The possible consequence of such a belief is that the assistance to poor should be limited. The external group of causes is based on the assumption that poverty is not fault of the poor. They either did not have enough opportunities in their lives or were the victims of technological change. Thus, help of others is justifiable. In this paper we test to relation of subjective reasons of poverty, as classified above, to the political left-right orientation of the respondents and subjective degree of responsibility they have in their life. Belief in God is the other important factor considered. The results suggest that leftist political orientation is associated with a beliefs blaming lack of luck for the poor economic situation of the others. Subjective degree of individual responsibility for one’s economic well-being is positively related to the belief, that poor are responsible for their poor situation themselves. Belief in God did not prove to be related to any of the subjective causes of poverty.

This introductory article is intended to open the volume of work prepared by the participants of the 12th UNESCO Janusz Korczak Chair International Summer School. The participants presented these papers at the RC25 ISA Interim International Conference in Warsaw, entitled: "Language and Society. Research Advances in Social Sciences" (26-27.09.2019), exploring the concepts of gender equality and children's equality in liberal and conservative discourses and practices invested in language. The papers in this volume primarily use the methodology of discourse analysis and a range of tools and methods within this framework. The purpose is to shed light on how discourses inform preferences, behaviours and representations, towards the positioning of individuals in society, based on their respective gender and their individual status - whether an adult or a child. It is interesting to explore what is expected of the holders of these positions and whether they are able to confront and renegotiate their situation. The authors look into gendered childhood, analysing if differences can be found in so-called conservative and liberal discourses. The gender aspect of childhood and the resistance towards children’s expected positions interlinked to their gender is visible to diverse degrees in this selection of papers. The concept of social positioning due to one's gender is at the heart of this volume. Therefore, this Editorial forms a theoretical backstage for the volume of works included in the special post-conference issue of Society Register.

Objectives. The goal was to find out whether pu-blic policy attitudes to the preference of policy instruments in solving long-term unemployment are explained through a big-five factor model of personality or through political orientation. Participants and settings. Authors administered a questionnaire survey among 8,554 university students in the Czech Republic.Hypothesis. Public policy attitudes to individual policy instruments are most influenced by poli-tical orientation and the related personality traits of openness and conscientiousness. Authors as-sume that the personality traits of openness and conscientiousness correlate most significantly with the ideological predisposition, however, the political orientation directly influences pre-ferences for policy instruments.Statistical analysis. Correlation analysis, multi-ple linear regression, structural models.Results. Public policy attitudes to policy instru-ments were most influenced by political orien-tation and the related personality traits of ope-nness and conscientiousness. However, on the basis of structural models, not only the direct in-fluence of political orientation on preferences to policy instruments has been demonstrated; from the personality traits, it is again an openness of mind and conscientiousness.Study limitation. The use of a short version of BFI-10; the lack of theoretical and empirical studies dealing with the influence of personality traits on public policy making.

Cíle. Cílem je zjistit, zda může být preference opatření sloužících k řešení problému dlouhodo-bé nezaměstnanosti vysvětlena prostřednictvím pětifaktorového modelu osobnosti či prostřed-nictvím politické orientace.Participanti a procedura. Dotazníkové šetření mezi 8 554 studenty vysokých škol v České re-publice.Hypotéza. Základní hypotéza vychází z předpo-kladu, že veřejně politické postoje k jednotlivým opatřením nejvíce ovlivňuje politická orientace a s tím související osobnostní rys otevřenost a svědomitost. Předpokládáme, že osobnostní rysy otevřenost a svědomitost nejvýznamněji korelují s ideologickou predispozicí, nicméně přímý vliv na postoj k jednotlivým opatřením má právě politická orientace.Statistická analýza. Korelační analýza, mnoho-násobná lineární regrese, strukturní modely.Výsledky. Veřejně politické postoje k jednotli-vým opatřením nejvíce ovlivňuje politická ori-entace a s tím související osobnostní rysy ote-vřenost a svědomitost. Na základě strukturních modelů se však neprokázal pouze přímý vliv politické orientace na postoje k jednotlivým opatřením, ale také vliv dvou osobnostních rysů (otevřenost mysli a svědomitost).Omezení studie. Použití krátké verze BFI-10, nedostatek teoretických a empirických studií zabývajících se vlivem osobnosti na tvorbu veřejné politiky.
