Earlier findings on educational homogamy in Poland demonstrated lack of significant changes in marriage selection. Specifically, the analyses showed stability in degree of association between educational level of spouses, educational homogamy, boundaries in marriage selection, and asymmetry in marriage patterns between women and men. Using data of wedding registries this article reports on newly married couples in 1977–2007 - covering the longest span of time in the studies concerning Poland. Results showing some directional changes might suggest that marital patterns of the bride and bridegroom differ from those disclosed for all couples. Actually, according to our analyses, the similarity of spouses' educational attainment declined. Bearing in mind that this tendency to growing openness occurred in time of the systemic transformation in Poland we conclude that it could be caused by phenomena related to the systemic change, such as increasing mobility and access to universities.

The main aim of the analysis is to determine to what extent preference for specific musical genres is related to social position. The study was based on data from a survey conducted in 2019 on a random sample of Poles. The explained phenomena are six genres representing broad spectrum of musical tastes: classical music, jazz, rock, rap, pop, and disco polo. The results of the analysis indicate that the diversity of musical tastes does not come down to one dimension. Family socialization, educational level, and, in part, class position exert the highest impact not only on preferences of classical music but also on liking jazz, rock and disco polo. The class effect appears almost negligent in preference for pop and rap which lead us to general conclusion that cultural stratification does not cover all forms of activity having a selective effect. Musical preferences turn out to be extremely strongly connected with parent’s cultural capital and respondents’ level of education.

Głównym celem tej analizy jest ustalenie, preferowanie jakich gatunków muzyki związane jest z usytuowaniem w hierarchii społecznej silniej, a jakich słabiej. W artykule wykorzystano dane z badania zrealizowanego w 2019 roku na ogólnopolskiej próbie dobranej metodą losową. Wyjaśnianym zjawiskiem jest sześć gatunków, które wydają się w miarę trafnym odzwierciedleniem szerokiego spektrum upodobań muzycznych Polaków: muzyka poważna, jazz, rock, rap, pop i disco polo. Wyniki analizy wskazują, że zróżnicowanie gustów muzycznych nie sprowadza się do jednego wymiaru. Wprawdzie hierarchia klasowa odtwarza się najsilniej w preferowaniu muzyki poważnej, jednak niewiele ustępują jej upodobania do jazzu, rocka i disco polo. Poza stratyfikacją klasową lokują się preferencje do muzyki popularnej i rapu. Wynikałoby stąd, że mechanizmy stratyfikacyjne nie obejmują wszystkich form aktywności i oddziałują wybiórczo. Preferencje muzyczne okazują się wyjątkowo silnie związane z kapitałem kulturowym rodziców i wykształceniem respondentów. One to głównie uruchamiają kształtowanie dystansów klasowych.

In this paper the authors show how one method of increasing the response rate, i.e. an extension of the fieldwork period, influences the structure of non-response and the differences between respondents and non-respondents. They used data from the Pilot Study and the Main Study for the European Social Survey, Round 2, and from follow-up studies conducted after each of those. The fieldwork period of the Pilot Study was 11 days and the one of the Main Study was nearly 2.5 months. The follow-up study involved distributing a mail questionnaire to people who did not participate in the face-to-face survey (non-respondents). Extension of the fieldwork period brought a relatively modest increase in the response rate. However, a comparison of differences between the respondents and non-respondents for a short and a long fieldwork period demonstrated that those differences occurred in demographic variables and in opinion questions. They also compared the effect of the length of fieldwork period on differences between the respondents and two categories of non-respondents: refusers and inaccessibles for other reasons. They did not find any effect of the length of the fieldwork period on differences between respondents and inaccessibles for other reasons, neither in socio-demographics nor in opinion questions. However, the effect did occur when we compared respondents and refusers.

The present article analyses data on ego-centred networks from a nationally representative sample of Polish citizens (egos) and their regular conversation partners (alters). In the study being used, apart from obtaining information from the respondent (the ego) about characteristics of their friends (alters), the respondent was additionally asked to provide contact details for his/her alters and the interviewers traced them. This allows to compare data concerning alters obtained from ego and from alters themselves. In the first part of the article, a comparison for three characteristics – age, education and occupational status – is provided as well as patterned differences are presented. In the second part, the issue whether the assessment of the strength of homophily depends on the source information about the alters is raised. The differences are present, although they are rather slight. The authors observe greater homophily when they rely on the responses of the ego. Based on the results, recommendations for future research on ego-centred networks are formulated.

Artykuł poświęcony jest jednemu z wymiarów stratyfikacji kultury, jakim jest oglądanie seriali telewizyjnych. Opierając się na danych z badania zrealizowanego w 2019 roku na próbie ogólnopolskiej chcemy ustalić, w jakim stopniu ten sposób spędzania czasu wolnego związany jest z pozycją klasową. Okazuje się, że oglądanie seriali niezbyt silnie zależy od pozycji klasowej, jeżeli kontrolowane są inne czynniki. Ani częstość oglądania, ani rodzaje, ani stopień złożoności seriali nie wchodzą w istotne zależności z usytuowaniem w hierarchii społecznej utożsamianej z pozycją rynkową i stosunkiem do szeroko rozumianej własności. Natomiast ważnymi zmiennymi wyjaśniającymi okazują się inne cechy związane z pozycją klasową. Są to wykształcenie respondentów i pochodzenie społeczne. Zgodnie z oczekiwaniami wyższe wykształcenie respondentów i matek zwiększa szanse oglądania seriali zaliczanych do „wyższej” kultury, podczas gdy oglądanie seriali o niższej złożoności związane jest z niższym kapitałem edukacyjnym. Sugerowałoby to, że oglądanie seriali może sprzyjać odtwarzaniu się podziałów klasowych.

This article focuses on the stratification in viewing TV shows as a factor affecting cultural distances between social classes. Based on the research conducted in 2019 in Poland, we investigate the extent to which the patterns of watching TV series are linked to class position. The article demonstrates that viewing TV series rather weakly depends on social class membership, net of other variables taken into account. Neither the time spent in watching, nor the type or quality of TV series appear to be significantly linked to social class defined in terms of property ownership and market position. Yet, other constitutive factors of class structure such as education and cultural capital of parents turn out to be significant. As expected, the higher education of the respondents and their mothers increases the chances for watching the more ‘ambitions’ TV series, while watching the shows of lesser complexity is characteristic of the respondents with lower educational capital. In sum, our findings suggest that this type of cultural activity contributes to the reproduction of the social class distances.
