Differences in the Level of Social Status of Male and Female Folk Dancers

Abstract

The research was conducted in order to determine differences in the social status structure of male and female performers of folk dances. For the purpose of determining the social status structure of male and female dancers, 103 male and 145 female dancers aged 18-28 actively engaged in folk dancing were tested. For the assessment of social status, only one model that allows for true scientific approach to studying the structure of stratification dimensions has been made so far. The model was constructed by Saksida and later served as a basis for many studies conducted by other authors as well (Saksida, Caserman, Petrovic, Momirovic, and Hosek). Designed as a phenomenological model, it has undergone several changes over time, but it is still suitable for studying social change. The INST2 questionnaire modified by Boli, Popovic, Hosek, Momirovic, and Savic (SSMIN) was applied in this study. All the data obtained in this research were processed at the Multidisciplinary Research Center of the Faculty of Sport and Physical Education, University of Pristina, through the system of data processing programs designed by D. Popovic and K. Momirovic. To determine differences between the groups, a method of discriminant analysis was applied. KeywordsStructure, discriminant, social status, correlationThe intelligent and socialized behaviors are, from both an individual and social point of view, two most important modalities of human behavior. However, while psychologists have developed thousands of reliable and valid tests of the efficiency of cognitive functions, the number of measurement instruments on the basis of which it could be estimated in a fairly reliable and relevant way whether someone in the family, at school or work behave in a socially adjusted, that is, mature, polite, and civilized manner is lower than the number of measurement instruments for the assessment of any relevant psychic function.There are several reasons that are responsible for this unhealthy condition. The first reason is, of course, the position of the socialization construct in the space of conative functions. This construct does not exist in any serious, that is, mathematical theory of personality, except for the cybernetic theories of conative functions in which the degree of socialized behavior is considered to be a manifestation of the functioning of the evaluation system  , and this construct is hardly mentioned or is not mentioned at all even in the best and most comprehensive psychology dictionaries. The second reason is the orientation of psychologists and

“…Designed as a phenomenological model, it has undergone several changes over time, but it has remained suitable for studying social changes. For the assessment of social status in this research, the model developed by the aforementioned authors, as well as the INST2 supplement and the SSMIN questionnaire were applied (Boli et al 2015: 208-209), (Popović et al 2016. The value of research does not only depend on the sample of respondents and the sample of variables, that is the value of basic information, but also on the applied methods for the transformation and condensation of this information.…”
