Socjologia refleksyjna w praktyce: znaczenie klasy w badaniach biograficznych
The article presents a research project investigating the biographical experiences of upward mobility and class reproduction. The project involved biographical-narrative interviews with academics, artists, and business managers who had experienced intergenerational upward mobility over the course of their lives or who were following in the career paths of at least one of their parents. The article focuses on methodological aspects. Drawing on the principles of reflexive sociology, particular attention is given to the role of the researchers’ positionality throughout the research process and the need to continuously contextualize it in the course of teamwork. Given the focus of the research on class and biography, it is important to consider class in a rigorous manner as a key category influencing the situation of the biographical interview, the interpretation of the collected material, the emotional labor of the researchers, and the dynamics of the research team.Otwarty dostępArtykułyJournal article - 2026-03-26
The Return of Selective Young Adult Migration: Post-Brexit Reversal of Poland’s EU Accession Migration Trends
This article explores how Brexit has reversed migration trends shaped by Poland’s 2004 EU accession, focusing on young adults aged 19–34. Using data from the Polish Labour Force Survey (2015–2019) and the Migrant Selectivity Index (MSI), it traces shifts in the socio-demographic profiles of Polish migrants. Key findings include a masculinisation of migration flows, a decline in tertiary-educated migrants, and growing mobility among individuals with intermediate education from ru ral areas—patterns resembling pre-accession dynamics. These changes reflect labour market realignments, with Germany surpassing the UK as the top destination. The study argues that Brexit not only disrupted post-accession migration but reactivated older selectivity mechanisms, reshaping human capital flows within the EU. By quantifying selectivity, it offers new insights into how geopolitical shifts affect labour mobility, regional development, and transnational skill distribution.Otwarty dostępArtykułyJournal article - 2026
Citizenship Behaviors and Their Associations With Depression and Perceived Stress Among University Students in Taiwan
Hung, Chi-FaLee, Kuan-LinOstafińska-Molik, BarbaraGrabski, BartoszLudwik, MagdalenaLin, Chung-YingYen, Cheng-FangBackground: Citizenship behaviors are crucial in fostering social progress. This study examined the psychometric properties of the Chinese version of the Citizenship Behavior Questionnaire-30-General Version (CBQ-30-GV) among Taiwanese university students. It also examined the association of citizenship behaviors with depression and perceived stress. Methods: A total of 1000 university students participated in an online survey. To evaluate the factor structure of the CBQ-30-GV, five competing models were examined using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Furthermore, internal consistency was assessed, and concurrent validity was examined by analyzing the correlations between CBQ-30-GV scores and subjective well-being, as measured using the Positive Emotion, Engagement, Relationships, Meaning, and Accomplishment Well-being (PERMA)-Profiler. Moreover, the correlations of citizenship behaviors with depression (measured using the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale) and perceived stress (measured using the Perceived Stress Scale) were investigated using Pearson correlations. Results: The findings supported a bifactor structure for the CBQ-30-GV, comprising seven specific factors and a general factor, with satisfactory model fit. The CBQ-30-GV demonstrated adequate internal consistency, and all seven specific and general factor scores were significantly and positively correlated with PERMA-Profiler scores (r = 0.080 to 0.490; p < 0.001). The general factor and the majority of specific factor scores of the CBQ-30-GV were significantly and negatively associated with depression (r = –0.426 to –0.135; p < 0.001) and perceived stress (r = –0.346 to –0.165; p < 0.001), whereas the factor scores for political activity and activity for change exhibited either positive or nonsignificant associations with depression and perceived stress. Conclusions: These findings confirm the bifactor structure of the CBQ-30-GV and its acceptable internal reliability and concurrent validity. They indicate that most of the CBQ-30-GV specific factor scores negatively correlated with depression and perceived stress.Otwarty dostępArtykułyJournal article - 2026-03-02
Low perceived warmth of AI agents reduces trust towards them
Artificial intelligence (AI) agents represent a new class of social actors within social and economic systems. To ensure the smooth functioning of human-AI societies, it is crucial to understand how trust between humans and AI agents is developed. The present study (N = 400), conducted on a representative sample of U.S. residents, investigated how the fundamental dimensions of social perception may affect differences in trust towards humans and AI agents. We manipulated human and AI trustees’ warmth and competence and measured trust towards them in a trust game. Overall, AI trustees were trusted less than human trustees were, especially in the low warmth conditions. We discuss warmth as a crucial determinant of trust in the context of human-AI interactions and suggest potential implications of these results for designing trustworthy AI systems.Otwarty dostępArtykułyJournal article - 2026-03-01
Unveiling the Uniqueness of Parental Burnout and Parenthood Regret: Impact on Parents and Children
Recent research has uncovered significant associations between parental burnout (PB) and parenthood regret (PR), challenging their historical isolation in studies. In this preregistered, multimethod, multisample investigation, we aimed to explore the distinctiveness of PB and PR and their impacts on escape ideation, parental neglect, and violence. The study involved 973 Polish-speaking parents (Study 1) and 1,429 French- and English-speaking parents (Study 2). Analyses identified four profiles based on levels of PB and PR. Confirmatory factor analyses supported a two-factor latent model (PB and PR) over a one-factor model (parental distress). PB, rather than PR, showed cross-sectional and prospective associations with escape ideation, parental neglect, and violence. No exacerbating effect of PR on the relationship between PB and its consequences was found. These findings were consistent across studies and samples, establishing PB and PR as distinct constructs. Further research is needed to understand the consequences of PR.Otwarty dostępArtykułyJournal article
