Description of the research topic:

The proposed topic is about "reusing" existing databases of an international comparative empirical research dating back almost two decades, and answering new theoretical or methodological research questions based on these data. The aim of the research is to use empirical sociology to explore commonplace views of justice concerning market processes, social relations, distributive systems, the causes of social inequalities and everyday relations. In our study, the aspects of justice to be measured are closely related to the tried and tested concepts and measurement procedures of an international comparative study (ISJP) conducted in 1991, 1996 and 2005. The identical items provide a way to measure changes in attitudes over time and across countries. As public thinking on a just society has moved beyond traditional thematic issues (social poverty, settlement differences, inequalities in occupation, income and knowledge, etc.), the questionnaire is nowadays a key element in the development of a just society. ) to new themes such as the responsibility for future generations and its sharing in society, the ageing of societies and the provision of a decent human life for generations that are ageing out, individual and collective intergenerational transfers, the intergenerational fair sharing of social investments, the sharing of public goods and services between generations, the fourth wave of research in 2008 has therefore given priority to the study of intergenerational justice. The Hungarian survey was conducted by TARKI. We were asked to work with a sample of 1,300 rather than 1,000 respondents, in order to improve the comparability of the generational sub-samples, in which younger and older age groups were weighted by generation. The study also included a slide survey, in which we interviewed 391 paired relations of parents and separated children over 18 years of age. The parent-child diad responded to an identical questionnaire, offering an opportunity to test for direct generational correlations in values.
