“…Cross et al (1989: 4) defines cultural competence as "a set of congruent behaviors, attitudes, and policies that come together in a system, agency, or among professionals and enable that system, agency, or those professionals to work effectively in cross-cultural situations." The latter study focuses on that part of the culture that is stored in the minds of its members (Roberts 1964;Siposné Nándori 2016) and adopts the methodological tools from cultural anthropology.…”

“…A value of one indicates that the given item was mentioned, while zero indicates that it was not mentioned by the given informant. Using these binary codes, it is possible to determine the proportion of matches across each pair of individuals (Boster 1983;Siposné Nándori 2016). Weller (2007) draws attention to the importance of differentiating among strong beliefs and random answers that do not imply any cultural preferences.…”

“…This process is repeated for each group until all items are ordered. This method shortens the ordering task and makes comparison easier (Weller-Romney 1988;Siposné Nándori 2016). In the current survey, quicksort was used to rank poverty-related items according to the extent to which they are related to poverty.…”

The paper analyzes subjective poverty in Hungary. The results of the data collection in 2019 are compared to the results of former data collections carried out in 2007 and 2011. The methods of systematic data collection are used to collect data about the belief of the population. The paper concludes that poverty is mainly related to material values and it did not change in the examined period. Items expressing labor market problems are closely related to poverty even in 2019 in spite of the fact that over demand in the labor market has lately decreased unemployment. Items about families and child rearing have become less closely related to poverty. The paper concludes that relative poverty threshold coincides with the subjective one. It implies that increasing the absolute income level of individuals may not be enough to improve their subjective wellbeing as they are also concerned with their relative income position.

“…A total of 88 informants were asked from Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén County. Free listing elicited a total of 31 reasons for poverty, out of which nine were selected for further research taking into account the aim of the research and the frequency of the items mentioned in the free listing 1 (de Munch and Sobo, 1988;Siposné Nándori, 2016). The attributions for poverty selected for further research can be seen in Table 1.…”

The paper analyzes perceived causes of poverty in Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén County, Hungary, one of the most disadvantaged areas of the country. Data collection was carried out in the second half of 2020 using consensus theory and the methods of systematic data collection. The aim of the research is to discover whether support for explanations which blame structural conditions is dominant in the public perception of poverty during the pandemic. From the research discussed it is clear that structural conditions are not dominant and that the poor are often seen as being themselves responsible for their unfavourable situation. The COVID-19 pandemic is not associated with a high support for the social type of lay explanations.

“…For example, the unemployment rate had increased by 2012. The effect of crisis-related unemployment on reducing well-being has already been proven in the literature many times, including in the case of Hungary (Helliwell et al, 2014;Bjornskov, 2014;Siposne, 2016;Clench-Aas & Holte, 2017). For this reason we do not examine the unemployed as a separate group here.…”

This paper is written to describe the changes in the subjective quality of life of the Hungarian population and its different social-demographic groups after the economic and financial crisis of 2008. These changes are analyzed in this study based on pooled cross-sectional data from the European Social Surveys by using a multidimensional quality of life index. Applying the difference-indifferences method, the study compares two periods: before and after the crisis. The theoretical frame of this research is given by the early welfare theory of Eric Allardt (1973), and its revised version from 1993. Results show that the average subjective quality of life of Hungarians had not changed significantly by 2012. However, the quality-of-life differences of groups specified by marital status and labor market presence increased after the crisis, but that of other dichotomous groups determined on the bases of subjective health, safety and income adequacy did not. In addition, the benefits of an optimistic subjective perception of quality of life also increased by 2012. These findings are valid despite the fact that the year 2012 can be viewed as the culminated effect of the recovery period, according to several macroeconomic, inequality and subjective indicators. Overall, the study is novel in three ways: first, it examines not simply the effect of the economic crisis of 2008 on subjective quality of life, but also its effect on the difference between social groups; second, the research employs a new multidimensional index for evaluating subjective quality of life; and third, it provides new evidence to support set-point theory.
