The purpose of this review article is to present a comparative analysis of a well known scientific journal - its last nine issues published since 2002 in Poland. The subject of the discussed papers included in each issue of the semi-annual journal 'Horizons of Education' was analyzed in two ways. The first one was quantitative analysis, i.e. the assessment of the contents was applied to the most popular national and social educational journals; and the second one, from the point of view of several topics, which were identified in each of the chosen issues with general scientific European educational problems and their consequences when their place was essential in the body of a given article. The author makes an attempt to draw the reader's attention to the unique and scientifically justified character of the reviewed journal. All issues constitute comprehensive studies as far as an attempt to conceptualize processes and their identity for theoretical implications in the period of anomy, anomaly, irregularity and social change.

The article deals with persuasive and rhetorical devices that can be found in tabloid headlines, used to arouse reader’s interest, such as: specific typography styles, irony, parody, euphemisms, lexical suggestions, allusions, presupposition, peculiar expressiveness. Thanks to these devices the newspaper seems more personalized, addressed directly to its reader. Furthermore, these devices create the image of the readers as a group with strictly defined allies and foes. Content analysis of the headlines leads to the conclusion that tabloids create a specific, simplified and axiologically incoherent image of the world, consistent with stereotypes and fully suitable for mass reader.

Despite the development of the modern board games market, plenty of new titles published every year, and the growing use of games in different areas of life, the instructions for games have never been a frequent object of greater reflection of researchers or practitioners. The importance of instruction, especially for non-computer games, in which the game process depends on the correct understanding of a game’s principles, is difficult to overestimate. Anyway, as everyone who has ever played a board game knows, a badly written manual can not only hinder playing in line with the principles devised by the designer, but also destroy all pleasure from the game. In this paper, I present the results of a study, consisting of interviews with players (15 interviews) and of content analysis conducted on a sample of thirty deliberately chosen game manuals (for entertainment and training board games). The aim of this study is to gather material showing how instructions for gaming are currently constructed and what players expect from a well-written manual.

This article contains a content analysis of the main Slovak sociological journal Sociológia/Slovak Sociological Review in the three decades after the political change (1990 – 2019). It presents the structure of authors and themes in Sociológia/Slovak Sociological Review in a temporal perspective. Probably the most interesting trend is the increase in the number of Czech authors and decrease in the number of Slovak authors. The great range of meta-reflection on sociology itself and on some nationally-specific themes like the transformation of society or the history of Slovak sociology (mostly in the 90’s) is also notable. Recent developments suggest the popularity of other themes like political sociology, the sociology of education or sociological theory.

The paper presents three levels of narrative psychological content analysis, which are focused on narrative construction of reality, narrative organization of representations, and psychological content of narratives. Developed for the purpose of narrative psychological content analysis, a new tool system, named 'LAS Verticum' is described. The new system can be used both for diagnostic tasks and hypothesis testing. It arranges content analysis into a single vertical system from the preparation of the test text for analysis to the statistical processing.

First the logic of how time psychology arrived in text-based research is outlined, then dilemmas and controversies of trait psychology in the study of subjective time experience are treated. Two content analytical methods are described for the identification of hidden time-related patterns in lay reports. The first shows word categories identified in word frequency analyses, the second illustrates narrative chronological patterns found in spontaneous life story recalls. The study was based on in-depth autobiographical interviews with twenty patients suffering in chronic illness.

The digital method of transfer of terrestrial broadcasting of the television signals significantly influences the position of Slovak television as a medium of public service broadcasting among the private broadcasters. Nowadays national public television has to be considered in the light of the background and interests of cultural imperialism and globalization. It will be necessary to decentralize the responsibility for the quality of programs to the smaller editorial staffs and the script-editing groups; then, to monitor the informational and artistic quality of programs by the methods of content analysis, to guarantee the technological and technical progress of Slovak television; to direct the professional strategy of Slovak television towards a stability of the professions in Slovak cinematography and finally, to create conditions for high-quality, competitive, original Slovak production.

One of the most significant aspects of the recent wave of migration from Poland is the way in which migrants’ social and cultural experiences are being depicted in press articles. Migratory experiences in journalistic descriptions are structured in the form of narratives which are reproduced in public debate. Then they form a part of ‘common knowledge’ and finally become an element of the whole reservoir of social consciousness. Media narratives describe processes which are the object of academic exploration of sociologists, anthropologists and psychologists. Among these processes there are such phenomena as: social mobility, cultural change (norms, values, lifestyles), emergence of ‘new identities’, the shape of ethnic and interethnic relations or changes in family patterns. The aim of the paper is a synthesis of the main narrative motives of the social and cultural consequences of post-accession migration in Polish weekly magazines between 2004 and 2012. The synthesis has been based on systematic content analysis of press articles (n=172) published in four weekly magazines. The goal of the analysis is a discussion of the way the consequences of migration are being depicted from the global (country), local (region), and individual perspective (migrant). The research project also aimed at discussing the intersection of journalistic and academic fields in press narratives and its role in the legitimization of ‘the official version’ of the depicted process. The analysis concerned the linguistic structure of journalistic narration in the context of Stanley Cohen’s concept of moral panic.

This text examines Anton Štefánek´s sociology, one of the first scholars in the field in Slovakia, in the context of the journals of that day. Especially, it examines the topics of Štefánek’s publications in relation to other articles in sociological journals, relying on the overall results of a content analysis of those journals. This presentation of Štefánek’s journal publications brings out some of his lesser-known or more difficult-to-find publications, and places them in the overall context of his sociology. The study shows that Štefánek’s sociological interests, who were dominated by the themes of the rural countryside and the nation, were not unusual either for the period between the wars, or after the Second World War. Nevertheless the breadth of Štefánek’s approach and his focus on Czechoslovak national unity (so-called Czechoslovakism) was somewhat unique in the context of academic journals at the time. Analysis of commentary in the journals on Štefánek’s sociology allows us to evaluate over a limited area his colleagues’ understanding of his importance. It shows that perceptions of his importance were different in the Czech and Slovak parts of sociological discourse (the Czech journals were dominated by attention given to Masaryk, about whom nothing was written in Slovakia, with attention being focused on Štefánek instead), even though he was a prominent figure not only in Slovakia but in the Czech lands as well, and was made even more important by his political involvement during the First Republic.

This article summarises the results of a content analysis of Sociologicka revue (The Sociology Review), the main Czech journal of sociology during the interwar and immediate post-war periods (the journal was published in 1930–1940 and 1946–1949). It focuses primarily on the structure of authors and themes published in the journal, studied using a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods of text analysis. Some of the most productive contributors to Sociologicka revue were the important Czech sociologists I. A. Blaha, E. Chalupny and J. L. Fischer and from abroad P. Sorokin. In terms of thematic structure, the majority of texts published in Sociologicka revue focused on domestic and foreign sociology. Another prominent theme was the nation and nation-related issues, with texts devoted to the analysis of German fascism, national liberation struggles, and Czech-Slovak national co-existence. Broad thematic areas included the somewhat interrelated topics of crisis, rural areas, work, and politics and democracy. Texts devoted to the theme of crisis tended to focus on the period of the Great Depression, but crisis was also examined in a much broader than just economic sense. The theme of rural areas underwent a transformation over time and particularly after the war was replaced by the theme of folk and folk culture. The issue of work encompassed two themes: the working class and unemployment.

The study restates the validity of narrative psychological content analysis of biographical narratives, and presents a new approach in analysing borderlines' biographical narratives. The relevance of narrative content analysis of the given pathological phenomenon is revealed by presenting former researches (e.g. Westen, 1993). The current research of the motions in the interactive space is introduced. First the term of interactive space is defined and linked to other concepts of the textual spaces (Faragó, 2001). Then the role of approach-avoidance ambitendency in borderline pathology is assigned. We delineate our interview method and coding system used for analysing object-relational episodes. The aim of our analysis was to find specific approach-avoidance code patterns which characterize the ambitendency of movements in borderlines and to compare these to the approach-avoidance patterns in major depressives' object relational episodes. Our results show that the structure of relational movements reflects the 'oscillation' typical of borderlines in contrast to the 'drawing apart' typical of major depressives.

The development of Czech media during the last 25 years has been influenced by commercialisation, which has characterised its transformation from that of a communist regime to its current globalised context. The commercialisation of local media has manifested itself through the notable erosion of its particular local characteristics (delocalization). The main aim of the article is to find the answer to the question of how has the content of the particular local press changed in terms of localization or delocalization due to the commercialisation development trends. This text uses a case study approach (content analysis and in-depth interviews) to analyse the Vltava-Labe-Press (VLP) publishing house that largely dominates the Czech local press market. In the first phase I conducted a series of semi-structured in-depth interviews with editors-in-chief in the VLP’s newsrooms and managers in the VLP publishing house. This was followed by a quantitative content analysis of two newspapers between 1989 and 2009 focused on changes in editorial content and changes in the formal presentation of content. The main question of the case study is, how did the local press content published by Vltava-Labe-Press change between 1989 and 2009 in terms of localization and delocalization. The premise was that commercialisation leads to delocalization, diminishing local character and production of the content, and hence between 1989 and 2009 the share of converged and centrally produced contents increased in selected Czech local dailies. The analysis demonstrates an inverse relationship between management localization efforts and the manifestation of local content in the press. Consequently, the delocalized character of the Czech local press is likely to have an adverse effect on the democratic and political empowerment of local communities.

There is a consensus in the literature of crisis that bereavement is one of the most forceful factors that provokes crisis. This is especially important if we extend psychoanalytical object loss theory beyond the loss of a significant person. Fried (1963) has shown in his psychodynamic theory that leaving an important place causes a break in self-continuity. This paper presents two studies in which the authors have examined changes in attachment to the place of birth and phases of coping with loss due to migration. The data were collected in Szeged with two groups of respondents. The first group consisted of in-border native Hungarian migrants who have changed their place of residence within Hungary to pursue studies in higher education, while the second group consisted of cross-border migrants, also university students, who have changed countries as well. A qualitative method has been developed based on a projective questionnaire and a qualitative content analysis. In consistence with Fried's theory the authors have found that respondents expressed feelings of loss due to migration in their narratives. The experience of loss was much stronger among cross-border migrants than among in-border migrants. This difference suggests the importance of the practical and symbolic meaning of the border.
