Eye movements in information acquisition – methodological view
Lukavský, Jiří
Most information, which we use in our lives, was first acquired by vision. The vision is not a passive receptor simply registering the pieces of information in the environment, but it also involves a selection mechanism. We can investigate this process with eye trackers and estimate, which pieces of information the subject knew and which attracted him. This report introduces these methods and their possibilities in cognitive psychology.

An abortive attempt of David Scheffel and Josef Kandert
Woitsch, Jiří
A disputative contribution to the article Politics and Culture in Czech Ethnography (Anthropological Quarterly 67, 1994) written by D. Scheffel and J. Kandert shows its serious failings. The study of the history of the Czech ethnography must be analytical, not only essaystic and of problematic quality such as Scheffels and Kanderts article.

The qualitative approach in modern research of addictions in Czech Republic during 1990s
Miovský, Michal
The development of qualitative approach and methods in research of drug users and drug use was during 1990s very rapid. It is impossible to provide a summary of this approach and methods in the Czech Republic unless we describe wider contexts of development of science in our country in the second half of the last century. Influence of communist ideology on science was obvious in many disciplines. However, the field of humanistic studies suffered the most. Under the communist regime, qualitative approach was not officially discussed in universities, and it was regarded as unscientific. Therefore, apart from a few exceptions, officially published scientific studies that made use of qualitative methodology have only started to appear in 1990s.
