Parenting Desires and Sexual Identities
Marta Vohlídalová, Hana Maříková
The paper asks how parenting desires are associated with the construction of sexual identity and what factors most influence whether gays/lesbians, bisexuals, and heterosexuals declaring same-sex attraction want to have (more) children. The subject has been explored mainly in the Western liberal and gay-family-friendly legislation and social environment so far.

In an online survey (N = 882) conducted in 2019 among self-identified gay, lesbian, bisexual, and heterosexual people with same-sex attraction,...

Exploring the Factorial Structure and Criterion Validity of Institutional Trust in Slovakia
Matúš Grežo, Magdalena Adamus, Zuzana Kaššaiová

A holdout cross-validation method was used to evaluate the dimensionality of the institutional trust construct. Exploratory factor analysis yielded a six-factor solution, and the confirmatory factor analysis showed a good overall fit for the five-factor solution that...
