This study follows Dreher’s work based on research in more than 120 countries over more than three decades which resulted in identification of three globalization dimensions: economic, political, and social. Globalization is mostly perceived as an economic threat to the majority of society, but in recent years there is increasingly more people perceiving it as cultural threat as well. Higher intensity of travelling and international exchange of ideas may lead many people to experience simultaneously both traditional and modern culture, and also culture coming from various geographic regions to be present in one place. In the Slovakian cultural space the trend is visible; for instance, in commercialization of foreign holidays, entertainment, the food industry, etc. As a consequence, many people may have the feeling that an increasing pervasive modern life style is pushing out what they considered traditional, rooted in values that are culturally stable. This study aims to contribute to this debate by studying negative attitudes towards globalization as a cultural threat, and compares the latent perception with open and clearly articulated attitudes. This study employs experimental methods; more precisely the list experiment which is typical for latent perception research. The analysis was based on the linear regression analysis, which puts the answer on the number of agreed items on the left-hand side of the equation. Control variables, such as demographics, socio-economics, and other factors previously linked to the globalization attitudes (such as the EU attitudes) are on the right-hand side of the equation.

This study explores the contradictory classifications of the post-communist Europe in the Varieties of Capitalism perspective. The paper outlines several shortcomings that contribute to the discrepancy in the past classifications. The empirical part of this paper compares two methods of the coordination index construction, the factor analysis and our own alternative calculation. Subsequently we apply both of the procedures to two groups of countries, Western and Central Eastern Europe. This way we demonstrate that even when using the same input variables a slight change of method might result into different findings. In the end we therefore argue that the future studies be more careful in the methods used as well as the country and data selection. This could potentially help to improve the comparability and the credibility of the future findings and country classifications.

The deterioration of the quality of democracy, or even the democracy deconsolidation in Central and Eastern Europe has been a hotly debated topic in academic research for several years. Our study contributes to this debate with a new perspective. Based on a public opinion poll, we are looking for systematic patterns in the support for the key principles of modern liberal democracies in Slovakia. The analysis of latent profiles reveals four different groups of citizens, and subsequently the logistic regression analysis reveals the factors that distinguish different types of citizens. We found that the selected principles of liberal democracy are not rejected by majority of population, which indicates the liberal democracy should not be threatened. However, some of the principles are much less important than others for large groups of the population.

How do Europeans make sense of the European Union (EU) and its processes of integration? Are there patterns of such understanding shared by citizens across borders of EU member states? The current article uses relational class analysis (RCA) to establish whether there are groups of citizens in selected EU member states sharing ideational construal of the EU. The purpose here is to complement extant studies of public attitudes towards the EU by exploring how citizens actually make sense of the Union. We develop an analytical framework and apply it to analyse survey data from a representative sample of citizens from six EU member states – Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy and Slovakia (N=4249).

Proliferation of populist policies and strengthening of political populism in several liberal democracies has been accompanied by campaigns full of public anger, anxiety and fear. Our research contributes to understanding how negative emotions shape selected political attitudes. We designed an experiment with 72 participants randomly assigned to three groups. The aim was to impose anxiety by using a stimulus that is incidental, i.e. having unrelated content to the attitudes under study. In addition to self-reported emotional state measured by post-test survey, we also measured the heart rate activity. Regarding political attitudes, next to attitudes towards immigrants we measured attitudes towards marijuana decriminalization as well. Findings indicate that while imposed anxiety leads to more negative attitudes towards immigrants, there seems to be no such effect on attitudes towards marijuana. We explain the difference by presence/absence of the in-group/out-group division in the types of political attitudes under study.

In this study, we loosely draw on the assumptions of cultural intimacy theory (Herzfeld, 2005) that there is something like shared knowledge and emotional attachment to certain cultural stereotypes in every nation. We suggest that in the area of intimate partner relationships, such cultural intimacy is currently gender stereotyped and imbalanced in partner relationships that stem from a patriarchal power model that is disadvantageous to women. However, it can be assumed that the current generation of young men and women have different priorities and aspirations for partner relationships. The study answers the questions: What are these priorities? Who is contributing to a positive change in this area: men or women? In an empirical study we investigated the priorities in intimate partner relationships of young men and women in Slovakia (n=655). Results which yielded significant gender differences in preferences are discussed with current trends in partner relationships as well as with the assumed concept of Slovak national cultural intimacy.
