The subject of the article is a problem of the Likert’s scale validity as a method of measurement. The author on the basis of empirical findings discusses the issue of prognostic credibility of results while measuring the attitudes applying the Likert’s method. The basic question concerns the agreement of the prognosis that bases on the attitudes’ measurement data, with the actual bahavior. Six scales characterizing the different aspects of attitudes toward work conditions have been employed in the investigations. Subsequently, the findings have been compared to the actual workers’ efficiency. The result allows for an assumption, that utility of a technique considered as the prognostic tool is very limited. In the majority of cases, the results of measurement differed significantly from the data relating to the actual behavior. Almost satisfactory agreement has been reached in case of one scale only. This testifies inaccuracy and at the same time, unrealiability of measurement with that metod and requires caution in employing it as the instrument of prediction. 1997-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/11089/10580 Pomiar integracji aksjologicznej w badaniach socjologicznych Morawski, Bronisław While conducting research on the social integration, one of the impediments is lack of statistical tools that would enable accurate interpretation of data from the sociological questionnaires. Two simple indicators are presented in the paper: an indicator of the potential interpersonal coherency, and a structure’s differentiation indicator, employed in the empirical research to investigate axiological integration. Although they do not meet sufficiently the needs in that field, yet have proved to be useful. They can essentially supplement the investigator’s set of tools and enhance possibilities to interpret data collected in the sociological inquiry. 1997-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/11089/10579 Typy egalitaryzmu i merytokratyzmu płacowego wyodrębnione na podstawie sposobów modyfikacji przez respondentów płac dyrektora, majstra i sprzątaczki Gostkowski, Zygmunt Respondents in two representative samples of inhabitants of the city of Łódź in 1977 and 1984 were asked to modify the three demonstrated salaries. Thirteen possible egalitarian and as many meritocratic kinds of modifications were distinguished, the former being those reducing the gap within each of the three pairs of salaries and the latter those enlarging it. Each way of achieving a given modification was given a motivational meaning and appropriate name (e.g.a. “Robin Hood modification”, “equal sharing of poverty”, “jealousy modification”, “enlarging a gap at a generally higher level”, etc.). Empirically ascertained kinds of modifications in two samples were found and their percentage distributions calculated among qualified and unqualified manual workers, white collar workers and pensioners. Diachronic changes in these distributions which occurred between 1977 and 1984 were found and explained by referring to the change in the level of and relations between the three salaries and to the rise of popular radicalism in 1984. 1997-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/11089/10578 Niektóre metodologiczne problemy występujące w diachronicznej analizie porównawczej wyników sondaży Gostkowski, Zygmunt Selected results of two surveys conducted in 1977 and 1984 among the adult population of the city of Łódź were compared aiming at the demonstration of two kinds of problems: 1) those related with the construction of a replicated sample in 1984; 2) those related with historical incomparability of the meaning of certain questions asked in two different socio-political contexts. It was also ascertained that in 1984 respondents were generally much more reticent in their replies to open-ended questions - especially white coller workers and pensioners. A method of recalculation of percentages of certain replies in 1984 to make them more comparable with higher percentages obtained in 1977 is proposed. 1997-01-01T00:00:00Z
