Experience in applying large language models to analyse quantitative sociological data

The article discusses the possibilities and limitations of using large language models (hereinafter referred to as LLM) to analyse quantitative data in sociological research. Also, attention is paid to the actor-network theory, according to which neural networks act as active participants of social interaction. It is noted that the usage of the LLM can be considered as an innovative process in the field of applied sociological research. The article demonstrates examples of the LLM application for quantitative methods of analysis on the basis of a survey dataset taken from open sources. Practical examples show how the LLM can be used to construct frequency and summary tables, calculate averages and conduct correlation analysis. The application of the LLM is seen as an innovative process that promotes the development of new methodological approaches. The authors analyse examples of the LLM usage in sociology and emphasise the need to build an innovative culture and develop methodological approaches to verify and correct the results. In addition, the authors highlight the importance of interpreting the LLM results in the context of sociological theory and practice. The article also discusses the role of the LLM in empowering the sociological research, especially in the areas of analysing big data and discovering hidden patterns. Finally, the authors suggest paths for future research in the application of the LLM in sociology, including the development of new methods and tools for integrating the LLM into the sociological research.

자립준비청년의 자립 경험에 대한 국내 연구동향

This study aims to examine trends in the Korean literature on the experiences of young adults who aged out of the child welfare system. We analyzed 86 studies including 56 peer-reviewed journal articles and 30 master's theses and dissertations published up to August 2024. The first related study appeared in 2002, and about 55% of the studies were published in the past five years. The term referring to the young adults varied in the literature, but the official term “youth preparing for independence” has been used since the policy announcement in 2021. Most studies focused on leaving out of foster care facilities, followed by foster care homes and group homes. In terms of research methods, more qualitative studies were published than quantitative studies.. In-depth interviews were the most commonly used method of data collection in qualitative research, and other methods such as focus group interviews and qualitative meta-analysis were also used. In quantitative research, both primary and secondary data were commonly used. We classified the topics of research into seven themes: independent living, emotions, relationships, support services, career paths, employment, and health. We suggest that future research focus on specific topics in more depth, converge research across academic disciplines, and attempt to diversify research methods.

Multidisciplinary clinical assessment and interventions for childhood listening difficulty and auditory processing disorder: Relation between research findings and clinical practice.

Listening difficulty (LiD), often classified as auditory processing disorder (APD), has been studied in both research and clinic settings. The aim of this study was to examine the predictive relation between these two settings. In our "SICLiD" research study, children with normal audiometry, but caregiver-reported LiD, performed poorly on both listening and cognitive tests. Here we examined results of clinical assessments and interventions for these children in relation to research performance. Study setting was a tertiary pediatric hospital. Electronic medical records were reviewed for 64 children aged 6-13 years recruited into a SICLiD LiD group based on a caregiver report (ECLiPS). The review focused on clinical assessments and interventions provided by Audiology, Occupational Therapy, Psychology (Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics), and Speech-Language Pathology services, prior to study participation. Descriptive statistics on clinical encounters, identified conditions, and interventions were compared with quantitative, standardized performance on research tests. Z-scores were compared for participants with and without each clinical condition using univariate and logistic prediction analyses. Overall, 24 clinical categories related to LiD, including APD, were identified. Common conditions were attention (32%), language (28%), hearing (18%), anxiety (16%), and autism spectrum (6%) disorders. Performance on research tests varied significantly between providers, conditions, and interventions. Quantitative research data combined with caregiver reports provided reliable predictions of all clinical conditions except APD. Individual test significant correlations were scarce, but included the SCAN composite score, which predicted clinical language and attention difficulties, but not APD diagnoses. The variety of disciplines, assessments, conditions and interventions revealed here supports previous studies showing that LiD is a multifaceted problem of neurodevelopment. Comparisons between clinical- and research-based assessments suggest a path that prioritizes caregiver reports and selected psychometric tests for screening and diagnostic purposes.

Young customers’ intention to purchase organic food in South Africa: extending the theory of planned behaviour

Ethical consumption has become an increasing trend as young customers get increasingly aware of their environmental and ethical responsibilities. The study aimed to examine the determinants of organic food purchase intention and behaviour of young customers in South Africa by extending the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB). The main objective of the study was to determine the effects of TPB constructs (attitude, subjective norms and perceived behavioural control) on young consumers’ intention to purchase organic food. Also, the study investigated whether the extended TPB model would improve the predictive validity of the model. The TPB was modified by the addition of three value constructs (health, environmental and appearance consciousness) as antecedents of attitude and intention and two personal factors (moral norms and ethical self-identity) as predictors of purchase intention. In addition, the study examined the mediating effects of attitude towards organic food in the relationship between value and purchase intention. Furthermore, the study determined the effect of intention on actual organic food purchase behaviour of young consumers. The study adopted a quantitative research approach and data was collected through the cross-sectional survey method using self-administered questionnaires from four hundred and three respondents. The questionnaires were distributed to the respondents through mall intercept and the Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modelling (PLS SEM) was used to test the hypotheses of the study. The findings confirmed that two constructs of the TPB (attitude towards organic food and perceived behavioural control) are predictors of purchase intention. In addition, health and environmental consciousness are antecedents of attitude and intention. Attitude mediates the relationship between health, environmental consciousness and intention. Furthermore, intention is a predictor of behaviour. Recommendations to improve the purchase of organic food focus on communication by marketers to consumers about the benefits of organic food. The study concludes that the extended TPB is an applicable theoretical framework to explain the purchase of organic food by young consumers.
