New ways in exporting Society: The potential of donation.based digital data collection
6-26.Views:37More and more digital data is being generated every day, and more and more social science
analyses are using Twitter, Instagram, or Facebook data. Many international and national studies
have already explored the social science opportunities and dilemmas raised by the phenomenon
of ‚big data’ - but the issue of ‚access to data’ has only been touched upon tangentially. And
access to data is becoming increasingly difficult. What can we do if market players close the
access to their data, and, if we find data available, the Research Ethics Board tells us to stop? The
answer is simple: go to the users and ask them for the data. This approach is what the literature
calls data donation. This paper will describe the data donation approach in detail, focusing on
how researchers can access data through users on the current major Western platforms. The
practical feasibility of data donation access will be illustrated based on a domestic pilot study. -
The effect of successfulness on family and friendly relationships
54-71Views:75The study examines the impact of leadership roles and success on family and friendship relationships between men and women. The literature on this topic typically focuses on the analysis of success and failure, but the impact of family and friendships on leadership success is a less published area. The questionnaire data collection (n = 437) was conducted among women and men using a snowball method, with separate questionnaires. The questionnaire data were analysed using ANOVA test and Chi-square test. Research findings suggest that female and male leaders differ in their perceptions of the impact of their own successful leadership roles. Male leaders perceived personal skills, unique ideas, reputation and spousal support as determinants of successful leadership, whereas female respondents did not perceive these factors as being important. More than half of men (51.8%) agreed with the statement that their leadership successes have led them to make new friends instead of old ones. This compares with only 4% of women. Almost half of female leaders (47.1%) believe that they have kept their old friends. Less than half (45.1%) of women feel that leadership has had a positive or negative impact on family and relationships.

Empirical analysis of the judgment of unconditional basic income through YouTube comments
68-93.Views:20One of the world’s largest video-sharing platforms is YouTube, where viewers can comment on
the videos and their topics. The aim of this study is to examine the values and opinions about
unconditional basic income according to the comment sections of several Youtube’s videos which
topic is the previously mentioned UBI which is receiving increasing attention in parallel with
today’s economic and social changes. Our research works with a mixed method, data collection,
storage, sentiment analysis and the bag of words method which were implemented using IT
procedures, while categorization was done through manual coding. The results of the sentiment
analysis show that positive arguments appear to a lesser extent in the comments. Positive
arguments have value characteristics such as inclusion, the principle of the right to exist, justice
and freedom. Among the positive arguments feasibility enjoys the highest support. Negative
category values arise more frequently, so the emphasis on the values of injustice, exclusion,
unaffordability, and performance-orientation is dominant in the analyzed comments. -
Similarities and Differences of Students’ Labour Market Paths Graduated in the Field of Social Science
109-140Views:38We study graduate trainees’ (short) paths of four „social courses” and their transition from higher education to the labour market. We have thought in cases of the chosen social courses, that differences can become perceivable besides similarities. It has also been assumed that sociologists of the four chosen professions can be characterized by a diverse labour market behaviour from the other ones. It can be partially explained by the objectives, the content of their courses and the flexibility of the prospective institutional system. Compared to the above in cases of other social courses a diverse picture has been experienced by us based on the socio-demographic background and experience in labour market, expectations and satisfaction. Social workers and socio-politicians’ socio-demographic indicators are quite similar just like the socio-politicians and sociologists’ indicators are. This may be due to the effect of the level of master/academic education. We analyse the results of Graduate Tracking System (GTS) 2015 data collection in our presentation. The research was carried out by the Educational Office in co-operation with higher education institutions in the form of an online questionnaire. We sorted the respondents of the four chosen courses (828) out of all graduated (20 579).
