THIS STUDY IS ONE OF COMPARATIVE STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS deliberately avoiding a sociological definition of the situation. It is assumed that two societies had existed in Czechoslovakia for some time and the difference between them, and possible analogies, are examined. There is also an assumption that the division of Czechoslovakia occurred especially because ‘Czechoslovak society’ as such had not yet been established; this was in spite of the fact that the two societies, at the time of the split, had substantially more in common than they had had at the time of Czechoslovakia's formation. There exists the view, which we want to verify, that during the decline of the federation the following factors were significant:1. The differences in economic, social, cultural and dispositional structures;2. The asynchronous and differing processes of modernization in both societies;3. The different consequences of the formation of societies of Soviet type in the Czech Lands in Slovakia;4. The differing processes for rectification of political, economic and cultural institutions in both republics after November 1989.

The Prestige

This paper summarizes the results of a survey into the prestige of various occupations in contemporary Czechoslovak society, which was carried out in November 1990 on a representative sample of 1400 respondents in the Czech and Slovak Republics. The results show a high level of prestige of scientific (research) professions. All the five representatives of the research community finished among the top 20 professions (a total of 49 different professions were evaluated). Out of these, associate professor was third in the scale of prestige, with scientist fourth and head of a research centre tenth. The prestige of scientists did not depend statistically on the age, sex or education of respondents. From factor analysis it follows that the group of professions connected with science or research forms a relatively independent subgroup of professions assessed by respondents in a similar manner. Finally, the prestige of scientific and research professions in Czechoslovak society is much higher than scientists think it is.
