Weblogs (blogs) are web pages containing entries written in the chronological sequence, which are
typically publicly accessible diaries on the Internet. The subject matter of the submitted research is
the Czech adolescents' personal weblogs which we perceive as a unique opportunity to study
adolescents' life. We ask who writes the weblogs, how adolescents deal with their developmental
tasks in blogs, what motivates them to write it, what their daily problems or joys are etc. We also
intend to identify the differences in which Czech and American adolescents express themselves on
their weblogs, which provides the research with an international dimension. Another research
objective is methodological: we plan to verify the sample data collected on the Internet and to
develop tools for verifying data in the Internet questionnaire. Three independent methods are used
in order to satisfy the research goals: content analysis, qualitative interviews and a web survey.
