Frustration and satisfaction in a post-communist democracy: Empirical assessments and interpretation in terms of Maslow's hierarchy of needs
Original language description
A representative sample of the Czech Republic, N=1093, responded to a questionnaire on satisfaction/frustration under the current (post-Communist) democracy and under the Communist authoritarianism before 1989. The results are discussed in terms of the Maslow hierarchy of needs. The patterns of frustration were in a contrasting opposition: the past was dominated by the memory of oppression which curtailed self-actualization while basic needs were fulfilled. Current democracy allowed for self-actualization but at the same time, satisfaction of some of the most basic needs was not guaranteed any more. Main complaints included a) general insecurity, lack of fulfillment of basic needs; b) corruption, low political culture, decline of civility (rudeness, envy, ethnic intolerance). Results help to explain the psychology of Communism and post-Communism.
