Abstract

Autor polazi od pretpostavke međusobne povezanosti društva i konzumacije alkohola. Konzumaciji alkohola u radu se pristupa iz sociološkog kuta gledišta određujući i analizirajući pri tom načine na koje se ta povezanost manifestira u fenomenima društvene uključenosti i isključenosti pojedinca ili skupine pojedinaca. Ta veza istraživala se u socio-kulturnom kontekstu Krapinsko-zagorske županije, a definirana je s tri osnovna cilja: Identificirati značenja i iskustva konzumacije alkohola kao socio-kulturne dimenzije u Krapinsko-zagorskoj županiji; Odrediti kakvo značenje pojedinci pridaju konzumaciji alkohola u određivanju uključenosti i isključenosti u društvo; Analizirati postoji li povezanost između konzumacije alkohola i društvene uključenosti ili isključenosti s obzirom na određene socio-kulturne i socio-ekonomske karakteristike ispitanika. Prva dva cilja odgovorena su na temelju kvalitativne metodologije pružajući pri tom značenjske, ali i situacijske dimenzije navika konzumacije alkohola i društvene uključenosti i isključenosti. Fenomenološkim pristupom odrađeno je 15 dubinskih intervjua. Treći spomenuti cilj odgovoren je metodom anketnog upitnika koji je konstruiran u refleksiji s nalazima kvalitativne faze. Uzorak kvantitativne faze uključivao je 600 ispitanika Krapinsko-zagorske županije po kvotama spola i dobi. Kombinacijom kvalitativne i kvantitativne metodologije došlo se do zaključaka kako se društvena uključenost i isključenost konzumacije alkohola manifestira u dimenzijama socijabilnosti i (praktične) solidarnosti. Osobe koje alkohol konzumiraju u većoj mjeri, u većoj su mjeri uključena u aktivnosti socijalnog karaktera. Isto tako, osobe koje češće konzumiraju alkoholna pića, češće pomažu ljudima u svojoj zajednici. No značenje konzumacije alkohola za društvenu uključenost i isključenost ovisi o situaciji. Na pojedincu je da se koristi kulturno stečenim znanjima i za sebe odredi kada je konzumacija alkohola poželjna (te u kojim količinama). Osobe koje odskaču od kulturnih obrazaca konzumacije podliježu određenim načinima isključenja iz situacije – u obliku zadirkivanja ili pak kroz ritualnu neusklađenost (bilo da je riječ o onima koji u određenim situacijama alkohol uopće ne konzumiraju ili pak da je riječ o onima koji alkohol konzumiraju u pretjeranoj količini za zadanu situaciju).

Abstract (english)

The author is following the assumption of the interconnectedness of society and alcohol consumption. Alcohol consumption in this paper is approached from a sociological point of view, determining and analyzing the ways in which this connection is manifested in the phenomena of social inclusion and exclusion of an individual or group of individuals. This connection was researched in the socio-cultural context of Krapinsko-zagorska County, and was defined with three basic goals: To identify the meaning and experiences of alcohol consumption as a socio-cultural dimension in Krapinsko-zagorska County; Determine what importance individuals attach to alcohol consumption in determining inclusion and exclusion in society; Analyze whether there is a link between alcohol consumption and social inclusion or exclusion with respect to certain sociocultural and socio-economic characteristics of respondents. The first two goals were answered on the basis of a qualitative methodology, providing by it a definition of meaning as well as situational dimensions of alcohol consumption regarding social inclusion and exclusion. In this phase, 15 indepth interviews were conducted with a phenomenological approach. The third mentioned goal is answered by the method of a survey questionnaire which is constructed in reflection with the findings of the qualitative phase. The sample of the quantitative phase included 600 respondents from Krapinsko-zagorska County by gender and age quotas. The combination of qualitative and quantitative methodology led to the conclusion that social inclusion and exclusion of alcohol consumption are manifested in the dimensions of sociability and (practical) solidarity. People who consume alcohol to a greater extent are more involved in social activities. Likewise, people who consume alcohol more often, are more likely to help people in their community. But the meaning of alcohol consumption for social inclusion and exclusion depends on the situation. It is up to the individual to use the culturally acquired knowledge and determine for himself when alcohol consumption is desirable (and in what quantities). People who deviate from cultural patterns of consumption are subjected to a certain ways of exclusion from the situation - in the form of teasing or through ritualistic incompatibility (whether it is those who in certain situations do not consume alcohol at all, or those who consume alcohol in excessive quantities for a given situation). Moreover, the social signifficant of the alcohol consumption can be seen in the matter of the gender and age differences. Men tends to drink more frequently and quantitatively more then women. It is also for men that social exclusion and inclusion is more evident in respect to sociability and solidarity than it is a case for woman. In the average the agreement with the statment that alcohol consumption is important for their social life is higher in the men part of the sample. This is also the case with the younger population. Social inclusion and exclusion on the basis of alcohol consumption is more evident in the younger population. However this inclusion and exclusion, as it was mentioned earlier works regarding the sociability and partially for solidarity (practical solidarity). Trust has not been connected with the alcohol consumption. All of the mentioned results regarding the inclusion and exclusion of alcohol consumption in Krapinsko-zagorska County has been connected with the cultural sphere of everyday life. It has been conlcuded throughout the research, that the economic predictors has not been correlated with the habits of alcohol consumption. According to that, the values of the individuals has been questioned regarding that consumption. The factor analysis have produced 3 variables that indicate a degree of certaint values: degree of individualistic values, degree of traditional (communitarian) values and degree of tradition (autoritarian) values. According to the analysis of these factors with the habits of alcohol consumption 3 ideal types of cultural approach to alcohol consumption of individual has been presented in the paper. These types are utilitaristic drinker (with individualistic values expressed), communitarian non-drinker (with traditional – communitarian values expressed) and influental drinker (with autoritarian values expressed).
