Cognitiv strategies in gender non-traditional tasks
Malá, Petra ; Smetáčková, Irena (advisor) ; Páchová, Anna (referee)
A fairy tale is one of the socialization factors which can support gender stereotypes in children's perception of the world around them. Fairy tale presents male and female characters in their gender roles to both boys and girls. This enables children to develop their own identity, gender identity being one of its parts. Pre-school children are confused by a fairy tale that does not follow gender schemes which they aquired in the past. In this kind of situation chidren employ their individual strategies which help them to get a better understanding of the tale and thanks to that assimilate the tale to their image of the world and the order that rules it. Typically, pre-school children don't accept characters that do not show attributes belonging to their gender role. They prefer characters which are typically masculine - active and brave, or typically feminine - passive and beautiful. Thus, traditional fairy tales don't offer the same opportunities of experiencing the story for both sexes. The goal of my qualitative research was an observation of differences between the way boys and girls perceive a fairy tale following gender stereotypes and another fairy tale that violates them. I based the research on structured interviews with children focused on how they perceive the tale. Afterwards, I analyzed this...

Process of coming out with the emphasis on relationship between parents and gay children
Chrástecká, Antonie ; Smetáčková, Irena (advisor) ; Kadlecová, Eva (referee)
Our society is often divided into two halves - women and men. Gender norms presuppose that femininity and masculinity co-exist in a complementary fashion. Biological essentialism suggests that this complementariness also extends into the area of sexuality. Heterosexuality is expected from each individual and is considered the norm. Human sexuality, however, is much more diverse. Upon discovering his homosexual orientation, a man begins the process of "coming- out", which consists of five phases. In ideal cases, the man accepts his homosexuality and confides in other people, such as his parents. The parents must then undergo a process of their own, reconciling the homosexuality of their child and accepting a new outlook for his future. The coming-out process may or may not affect the relationship between parents and children. Research, executed within this Bachelor's work, has brought interesting findings concerning the coming out. I led conversations with homosexuals about the coming out process, and their parents (or parent) have filled in the question form. Then I compared it. The research brought general view on the coming out process, primarily from the family point of view, and it has also confirmed that the gender order affects many areas in our lives and creates differences between women and...
