Merei’s Group-centered Psychodrama as Sociodrama
58-69Views:47According to the authors, Mérei Ferenc’s method of group-centric psychodrama can also be
used for managing social problems. However, this possibility mentioned above was not fully
developed, primarily due to social-historical reasons. In this article the specificity of sociodrama,
and the analysis of differentia specifica of sociodrama are defined. Based on the findings, two
group-centric psychodrama sessions lead with Mérei-method are analysed to identify the
possible changes of techniques necessary to transform the session into sociodrama. Results were
born in the Hungarian Sociodrama Methodological Working Group. -
Rácz Andrea (szerk.) (2018): Szülői kompetenciafejlesztést célzó modellprogramok a gyermekjóléti szolgáltatások tárházában: Rubeus Egyesület, p. 353.
186-188Views:60„Minden gyerekben, mikor megszületik, ott van egy zenei
kotta, egy partitúra. De sok feltétele van annak, hogy a
kottából muzsika legyen. Másként fog szólni jó zenészekkel, jó akusztikával, várakozással teli közönséggel, megint
másként, ha a karmester, a terem, a hangszerek rosszak.
És lehet, hogy egyáltalán nem szólal meg. Mai tudásunk
mellett a partitúrát nem is ismerjük. Csak a feltételeken
tudunk változtatni, ha azt szeretnénk, hogy a gyerekek
zenéje szebben szóljon. Ezzel a metaforával világítja meg Albert Jaqurd, korunk egyik legnagyobb genetikusa, a környezeti feltételek és a genetika, az öröklött gének kölcsönhatását. Minél egyenlőtlenebb egy társadalom, annál nagyobbak a gyerek fejlődésére, ’megszólaló zenéjére’ ható
környezeti különbségek.” -
Environmentalism of university students in relation to their materialism, life satisfaction, views on politics and pandemic
70-97Views:104Recently, an increasing focus has been made on studying environmental problems and the
related social phenomena. Understanding the environmentalism and its influencing factors
in the case of higher education students can greatly help the preparation and identification
of sustainability policies and educational practices in higher education institutions. In this study, we investigated environmental attitudes and pro-environmental behavior of
students at 17 Hungarian universities as a function of a number of hypothesized influencing
factors. These included materialistic values, life satisfaction, political views, and views on the
Covid-19 pandemic. According to our results, these were all related to environmentalism. More
environmentally conscious students were less materialistic, less right-wing in their political
views, more satisfied with their lives, and also differed in their views on pandemic issues. Beside
a weaker impact of environmentalism and political views, life satisfaction was largely influenced
by the relative financial situation perceived by respondents. -
Positioning Opportunities for Rural Areas Through the Example of Ciuc-Basin
50-74Views:44Those development approaches that support social inclusion, exploitation of endogenous
resources and community development may be an alternative, and can offer new opportunities
for the economically and socially disadvantaged rural areas and for peripheral settlements
that have missed the mainstream of development. The new rural paradigm, and the related
regional development approaches, such as marketing-oriented settlement development, point to
a new community-based trend, where places, local communities get a more important role, the
function of local management changes and endogenous factors become the main resource. The
communication activity and positioning practice becomes more important. -
Health-related information gathering practices among outpatients
124-138Views:59Introduction: Obtaining health information is an important part of health behaviour. However, there is limited data available about information gathering habits of patients. Aims: To identify different patient groups according to their information gathering habits.
Methods: Questionnaire survey among potential patients in an outpatient clinic in Budapest. The survey consisted of the following domains: sociodemographic data; habits of visit a doctor; communications method with a specialist; use of technical devices.
Results: The survey was completed by 260 patients (36,2% men; 63,8% women). Patients primarily get medical information from their doctors, followed by the internet, where different websites and Facebook groups are the most common sources of information. Mostly they use the internet for checking their symptoms and complaints, however searching for data about their physicians and healthcare institutions are uncommon. Patients who are young, active workers, highly educated are more active, while elderly patients and widows search less information on the internet. Conclusions: There are socio-demographic groups who are underinformed by digital healthcare related issues. Audited websites and social media releases could play an important role in
the information gathering process of patients, and also supplement patient-doctor relationship. -
From an acquaintance to a true friend – the idea of friendship among university students
139-159Views:50The idea of writing my essay comes from the book ‘Embert barátjáról – A barátság szociológiája’
written by Fruzsina Albert and Beáta Dávid. I am especially interested in the appearance and
significance of the typical social capital, i.e. friendship, among the students of the Sapientia
University of Miercurea Ciuc (Csíkszereda) and that of the ELTE (Budapest). In order to
investigate the phenomenon of friendship, I chose a qualitative strategy, namely focus group
research.
Although I have expected greater contrasts by comparing the students of these two distinct
locations, I have found that friendship among the interviewed young people constitutes universal value with more common than different patterns. -
Legitimacy and tax morale in fiscal contract: The role of collective services and government communication in shaping taxpayers’ moral considerations
140-156Views:62The purpose of this paper, building on the so-called fiscal contract theory, published by Margaret Levi (1988, 1998) and Jeffrey F. Timmons (2005), is to investigate the nature of the relationship between the so-called tax morale and government legitimacy. More specifically, it discusses the important theories and empirical researches to highlight on the significance of the role of the government in influencing citizens’ moral considerations during taxpaying. According to the fiscal contract theory, there is an unspoken agreement between taxpayers and the government to oblige the government to maintain services reflecting on collective needs and to oblige citizens to comply with the law, i.e. to pay their taxes. Thus, taxpaying is voluntary, but conditional. This paper relies on this theory when it argues that fiscal contract is rooted in citizens’ responsibility for their community, inducing their tax morale. In other words, this bilateral agreement suggests, that tax morale, what is rooted in citizens’ responsibility, is a significant factor of taxpaying motivations.

„Women Question” in the Political Parties’ Discourse in Post-Revolution Tunisia (2011–2014)
127-145Views:54For more than fifty years, the Tunisian political system has been considered as a so-called secular system that had provided women with many rights in education, healthcare and in economic and political sectors, besides that woman friendly family laws reforms After the overthrown of Ben Ali regime on 14th of January 2011, the Tunisian society witnessed an economic, social and political significant transformation. A new Islamic-secular discourse have been raised debates both in public and private sphere, women’s rights have been one of the incendiary topics of these debates. Therefore, with the participation of the Islamists in political life, the country has faced a new political dynamic which made the pollical scene complex and ambiguous. In this context, discourse analysis is a very important and crucial to be used as a method to approach to the research main question. Some leaders’ speeches, events which took place during the democratic transition are examined and analyzed in order to serve the research’s analytic interest through the relevant materials.

The slave trade and trust
172-177.Views:56Does culture have an impact on society, and if so, how? The study by Nathan Nunn and Leonard Wantchekon set out to examine the impact of the slave trade, which has left its mark on the African continent and its economy, but which ended some 100 years ago, on the cultural, norm-following, beliefs and values of individuals. Their aim is to explore the reasons that led to the historical disconnect within Africa between local governments or municipalities (politics), between the outlying communities (neighbours) and even within family relations, which may still influence economic development today. Nunn and Wantchekon's hypothesis is based on an earlier study by Nunn, which showed a causal link between the 400-year slave trade and the income conditions of the African population today, looking at the long-term economic effects of the slave trade.
