In December 2003 Public Opinion Research Centre also included a few psychological questions in its survey. Among other things, we wanted to establish the attitude of Czech citizens towards their past. Overall, we can say that most Czechs have their own past and particularly childhood connected with positive emotions. Three quarters of respondents admitted that images, sounds and smells known from childhood often evoked in them nice memories and when looking back 7 out of 10 respondents recollect considerably more good than bad.
Most of our population (69 %) also have a positive relation to family traditions and regularly repeatedly rituals. Family traditions are particularly popular with women, people over 60 years of age, old age pensioners and respondents of the Roman Catholic religion.
