It was also assumed that living in an alternative object was the intention and preference of the respondents. Transcribed interviews were analysed using the principles of grounded theory.

Reflection of the Impacts of Social Change After the Velvet Revolution in Biographical Narratives
Corradi, Veronika ; Mlynář, Jakub (advisor) ; Dudová, Radka (referee)
This bachelor's thesis is focused on the reflection of social changes after the Velvet Revolution in 1989. Data were collected by a combination of a biographical and problem- oriented interview. This thesis has a total of 10 interviews, all with women. Two main characteristics and conditions of this group of women are: 1. born between the years 1965 and 1972 in Prague, 2. live in Prague during the Velvet Revolution. Subsequent analysis of the interview was conducted in two steps. The first one was creating a story map. The second step was coding, which is used in grounded theory. Structural reading was also used during the analysis of the interviews. The outcome of the analysis is identification of six main impacts. Most of the impacts were connected to changes in personal life. Other impacts were related to the labour market and tech development.
