Impact of socioeconomic and social factors on subjective well-being among Czech population
Tmějová, Kateřina ; Lustigová, Michala (advisor) ; Hanzlová, Radka (referee)
The main concern of this thesis is the impact of selected socioeconomic and social factors on subjective well-being of individuals in the Czech population. This thesis thus explains and describes the concept of well-being and summarizes the factors that can influence it. Using data from survey EU-SILC 2018 of Czechia, the effect of selected socioeconomic and social factors on the level of well-being of an individual is analysed using a multinomial logistic regression method. Both individually and when all selected factors interact. The analysis found that the level of education, the level of income and the quality of housing of an individual significantly affect the level of life satisfaction. The significant effect of an individual's social ties on the level of life satisfaction was found to be the most significant when socioeconomic and social factors impacted on the level of life satisfaction. Another objective was to analyse the relationship between an individual's life satisfaction and self-rated health. This relationship was found to be reciprocal, meaning that the level of life satisfaction of an individual has an impact on his subjective health evaluation and vice versa. The thesis also compares the prevalence of life satisfaction of the Czech population with other populations that also...

Attitudes of the Czech Public to Climate Change on Earth – September/November 2022
Hanzlová, Radka
In a survey conducted from the beginning of September to the beginning of November 2022, the CVVM SOÚ AV ČR dealt with the long-standing and highly debated topic of climate change on Earth. We were interested in what the Czech public thinks about this topic. Just under three-fifths (58%) of respondents are somewhat worried about the impacts of climate change (14% very worried, 44% somewhat worried), while 39% are not worried. Just under two-fifths (39%) of respondents are interested in the issue of climate change, with 6% 'very interested' and 33% 'somewhat interested'. More than a quarter (28%) of respondents think that human activity contributes 'a lot' to climate change, another 32% think it contributes 'a lot' and just under a third (32%) think it contributes 'a little'. Only 3% of respondents believe that human activity is 'not contributing at all' to climate change. 35% of respondents feel personally responsible for climate change on Earth, while the majority (61%) do not feel personally responsible.

Life Satisfaction of Czechs over Time – "Research on the Covid and Postcovid Eras"
Hanzlová, Radka
The Centre for Public Opinion Research of the Institute of Sociology of the CAS focused on the topic of life satisfaction in its special research carried out within the project "Research on the Covid and Postcovid Eras". The aim of the research was to find out how satisfied Czech citizens are with their lives at present and to compare the results with their life satisfaction in the past or in the future. The life satisfaction of Czech citizens has not changed over time and can be considered above average overall. Life satisfaction is related to educational attainment, age, subjectively assessed standard of living and health status. Both single-item and multi-item measures of life satisfaction achieve identical results, confirming their reliability and validity.A significant proportion of respondents failed to answer the items related to future life satisfaction, which is easily explained and understandable, as these are essentially hypothetical questions to which there is no clear answer at the moment.
Measurement equivalence of well-being in the European Social Survey (ESS)
Hanzlová, Radka ; Raudenská, Petra (advisor) ; Soukup, Petr (referee) ; Urbánek, Tomáš (referee)
This thesis focuses on measurement invariance of well-being as an important societal topic in large international comparative surveys, but also over time on national data from the Czech Republic. To be able to reliably compare the results of any research, the research must meet certain qualitative criteria, namely reliability, validity and, in the case of international research, comparability (equivalence), which is also the most neglected. Equivalence is most often compromised in attitudinal questions and scales, which is why this thesis focuses on one such concept - well-being. It focuses specifically on testing the multidimensional model of well- being from the 6th Round of the European Social Survey (ESS), and more precisely the "overall model of well-being" developed from it in the process of modification, as the analysis reveals that the ESS model is not appropriate. The equivalence of the overall model of well-being composed of 22 items divided into five dimensions across countries and over time, is tested using two methods: the traditional Multigroup Confirmatory Factor Analysis (MGCFA) as an example for testing exact measurement invariance (EMI) and the more recent alignment method for testing approximate measurement invariance (AMI). The results demonstrate the difficulty of achieving the...
Evaluation of the state and protection of environment in the Czech Republic – September/November 2022
Hanzlová, Radka
The Public Opinion Research Centre addressed environmental issues as part of its survey carried out between early September and early November 2022. In terms of the state of the environment, respondents rate the environment in their place of residence better (84%) compared to the overall state of the Czech Republic (75%), the best rating since 2002. The activity of municipal authorities (59% of positive answers) and environmental organisations (56% of positive answers) are the best rated in the field of environmental protection. More than four-fifths (84%) of respondents think that doing something for the environment is good, even if it costs time and money. Half (50%) of respondents think that claims about environmental threats are exaggerated; more than two-fifths (42%) think they are not. Respondents rate the situation with regard to the burden of car traffic on the environment the worst (16% positive responses, 78% negative).Of all the areas assessed, the most favourably rated are the impact of agricultural activities on the environment (44% positive responses, 43% negative) and the use of renewable resources (42% positive responses, 45% negative).
Understanding the terms "Best before" and "Use by" – Food 2022
Hanzlová, Radka
The special survey Food 2022 conducted by the CVVM SOÚ AV ČR included a block of questions focusing on the Czech public's familiarity with the terms "Best before" and "Use by". The majority (73%) of the Czech public correctly use the term "Use by...", whereas the meaning of "Best before" life is less clear and almost half (47%) of the citizens attribute the same meaning to it as to "Use by".\nThe term "Best before" is correctly understood by 46 % of respondents. Since 2017, the Czech public's familiarity with the term has been growing.\nWhen shopping, 78% of citizens use the term "Use by" and 73% use the term "Best Before".\nFood beyond the "Best Before" date is consumed at least occasionally by 64% of respondents and 56% beyond the "Use by" date, both an increase compared to 2020.
Food Waste and the Shopping and Consumer Behaviour of Czech Households – Food 2022
Hanzlová, Radka
In its special ‘Food 2022’ survey the Public Opinion Research Centre at the Institute of Sociology, Czech Academy of Sciences, examined the Czech public’s attitudes and opinions on the issue of food waste.\nAlmost half (47%) of the respondents consider food waste to be a big problem, more than two-fifths (44%) think food waste is not right, but there are more urgent problems that need to be solved and only less than one-tenth (9%) of the Czech public does not consider food waste to be a big problem in society.\nThe most important reason for reducing food waste according to respondents is to save money for their household (77%), while the least important reason is to change society through their behaviour (29%).\nThe majority (54%) of respondents go shopping several times a week, while about a quarter (26%) go shopping once a week. 13% of respondents shop every day.
