  • „Ratio Generationis” – Aspects for responsible generational research
    104-126
    Views:

    Huge amount of literature has been published in recent years on topic of generation research
    but of varying quality. There is a significant interest in the topic, although an increasing amount
    of contradictory and methodologically questionable results have come to light. People develop
    prejudices and beliefs based on popular media, which could be counterbalanced by scientific
    works, but there is a noticable amount of thorough criticism against them. It is still a question,
    whether generation is the proper response to certain phenomena or we have just „generated” it
    and most charachteristics are rather related to age or life span? Cautious research is complicated
    and lengthy, therefore many either choose to perform superficial research or to go so in-depth
    that does not allow answering problems and return to just individual differences. Some conclude
    by refusing the generational approach altogether. In these circumstances a kind of „responsible”
    generational research is to be suggested, which turns from dead ends to the scientific way and
    finally tries to find „ration in generations” keeping in mind all the criticism of the approach.
    I summerize cosiderations in my work to find this right direction.

    Introduction: The present study examines the information on the medical profession and how the changes occurring in the medical practice, the social role and the evaluation of the physician are reflected in the English and Hungarian language medical sociology textbooks used in Hungary. Method: We analyzed chapters of Hungarian language medical sociology textbooks of the
    last 25 years that discuss medical profession and student choices, and textbooks used in English language courses of Semmelweis University. Results: The corpus of the Hungarian textbooks (history of medical profession, medical role models, models of doctor-patient relationships, medical socialization) stayed relatively unchanged. While preserving the myth of the medical profession, there are criticisms towards the role and relationship models. The theme of the medical education gradually disappears from the
    English language textbooks. The social positions of the medical profession and health care are discussed in a broader context, focusing on the health care system and health care provision, incorporating the allied professions, and taking aspects of patients/consumers into greater consideration. Summary: Both textbook types reflect on the changes in the social position of the medical profession. However, the English literature approaches the modernization processes from the angles of the health care system and health care provision, resulting in the diminishing importance of the topic of medical profession while the Hungarian literature focuses on the profession and professional education of physicians.

    A deep-seated, ’constitutional problem’ of so-called psy-complex (ontologically ‘psy’ is different
    than matter, but it is studied by natural scientific methods) can be detected: ontologically the
    psyche is basically different than matter, but the main stream studies of these disciplines take the
    natural scientific methods as their research ideal which were created for material beings and
    they try to influence and change their ‘object’ by technical-technological attitude. The main aim
    of this paper to draw attention to some of the main consequences of this dilemma.
