Ebben a kötetben annak a kérdéskörnek a megvilágításához kívánunk hozzájárulni, hogy milyen kép él az EU-ról a hazai médiában és az elit körében, s mit gondol a közvélemény az európai integrációról, az elitekről és a médiáról a 2020-as évek első felében. 2021 és 2024 között egy nemzetközi kooperáció keretében empirikus vizsgálatot folytattunk, mely...
The relationship between online and offline activism has been studied intensely, especially with the outbreak of COVID-19 that forced environmental movements to be online. Nowadays, activists can mobilize crowds and create unique self-representation online by using social media, which requires specific knowledge and skills. In our research conducte...
Previous discussions have highlighted the need for generative AI tools to become more culturally sensitive, yet often neglect the complexities of handling content about minorities, who are perceived differently across cultures and religions. Our study examined how two generative AI systems respond to homophobic statements with varying cultural and...
Experts state an increasing trend toward vaccination hesitancy in the last decade, which also seems tangible concerning COVID-19 vaccines. The impact of online media on this trend is expanding; social media is one of the top sources for seeking and sharing health-related information. One of the most widely disseminated topics of health-related onli...
The case of ‘drifting away from liberal democracy’ in Eastern Europe and Hungary deserves special attention, and this study provides a longer-term historical-structural and institutional analysis of how anti-migrant nationalism has achieved hegemony in Hungary and Eastern Europe in the 2010s. The chapter claims that Hungary presents a case of a Wes...
In crises, the importance of solidarity becomes crucial. Religious organizations, as members of civil society, have an essential role in promoting and participating in solidarity action. Dominant religious organizations thus can have the power to shape the image of solidarity in a crisis and, by creating a dominant narrative, to strengthen their so...
Migration became one of the most important issues in the Hungarian public debates between the summer of 2015 and 2017. Multiple and conflicting narratives contributed to a sense of crisis. The dominant political narratives involved the importance of Christianity as part of the cultural identity of the country, to which migration posed a considerabl...
Life quality in cities is deeply related to the mobility options, and how easily one can access different services and attractions. The pedestrian infrastructure network provides the backbone for social life in cities. While there are many approaches to quantify life quality, most do not take specifically into account the walkability of the city, a...

Our poster present a possible way to collect Facebook data after the restriction on Facebook graph API.
The political language of radical nationalism, combined with the logic of justice as non-domination, has become hegemonic in the Hungarian press. The structural position and related discursive traditions of the country form the background against which migratory processes and their interpretations are examined in this article, making the analysis r...
We developed a method that can identify polarized public opinions by finding modules in a network of statistically related free word associations. Associations to the cue “migrant” were collected from two independent and comprehensive samples in Hungary (N1 = 505, N2 = 505). The co-occurrence-based relations of the free word associations reflected...
A data-driven network-based procedure was applied for categorizing free word associations to reflect distinct dimensions in social representation of migrants. These
dimensions were validated on an attitudinal measure of xenophobia, bridging social cognition and social representation.
A "Kvantitatív szövegelemzés és szövegbányászat a politikatudományban" c. kötet legfontosabb célja az, hogy bevezetést nyújtson a nemzetközi politikatudomány egy kurrens irányzatába, a szövegek kvantitatív elemzésébe (quantitative text analysis – QTA). A szövegek és más minőségi adatok (filmek, képek) elemzése annyiban különbözik a mennyiségi (kvan...
In each and every scientific field, when a new approach rears its head, the related experts try to find its place in their own scientific system. However, with network science one question emerges again and again: Is network science a simple approach, or can we talk about a new paradigm shift? Reading David Knoke’s book about economic networks – an...
„A mitológia megmagyarázza önmagát és mindent a világon” – írta Kerényi Károly (1971). A mítoszokból feltáruló valóságból szövődnek a kultúrák világmagyarázatai: milyen és miért olyan a világ, az élet és mi magunk? Milyen térben és időben jelennek meg a mítoszok? A látható szimbólumokon keresztül hogyan és mit üzennek a mitikus minták? Hogyan kommu...
