Personality of women and personality of men in the light of the NEO Personality Inventory (NEO-PI-R)
Hřebíčková, Martina
Gender differences in five personality traits have been documented across many cultures. Results showed that women reported themselves to be higher in Neuroticism, Agreeableness, Warmth, and Openness to Feelings, whereas men were higher in Assertiveness and Openness to Ideas. In the contribution data from self-reports 430 men and 526 women on the Czech version of the Revised NEO Personality Inventory (NEO-PI-R) are presented. Gender differences previously found across cultures were replicated. Possible explanations for this finding are discussed, including biological theories, social role model and evolutionary psychology.

Teacher's emotional stability: preliminary results of self-other agreement
Hřebíčková, Martina
The study consists of five parts. The overview from the research of the mental health of the Czech teachers is presented in the introduction. In the second part a history of the concept of the Emotional Stability/Instability (Neuroticism) is mentioned. The best known methods for measuring Emotional Stability/Instability (Neuroticism), specially NEO Personality Inventory (NEO-PI-R) are described in the third part. The fourth part includes data from the research in which the teachers self-rated on the basis of the NEO Personality Inventory and also were rated by a second person for the same traits (Neuroticism). The results do not confirm a high level of Neuroticism and its facets among the teachers in comparsion with the control group, and also any statistically significant differences between the self-rating and peer-rating were confirmed. In conclusion the unambiguous results concering the level of Neuroticism among Czech teachers are dealt with.

Cross-cultural comparsion of five personality dimensions
Hřebíčková, Martina
The five factor model of personality provides a new framework for studying personality and culture at three levels. Transcultural research focuses on identifying human universals, intracultural studies examine the unique expression of traits in specific cultures, and intercultural research characterizes cultures in terms of mean levels of personality traits and seeks associations between cultural variables and personality traits. The contribution contains data on mean levels of Revised Personality Inventory scales from college age and adult samples (N=23500) from 27 cultures including Czech Republic. Some considerations about Czech national character are discussed and basic psychometric properties of the Czech version of the NEO-PI-R are mentioned.

Teacher personality structure: a comparsion with women from other occupations
Hřebíčková, Martina ; Řehulková, Oliva
Our purpose in the present study is to compare personality structure of women from four occupational groups (teachers, research workers, actresses and business women). Personality structure was measured using the NEO Five-Factor Inventory based on five-factor model of personality. Five-factor model illustrates that personality consists of five relatively independent dimensions (Neuroticism,Extraversion, Openness to Experience, Agreeableness and Conscientiousness), which provide a meaningful taxonomy for studying individual differences. We supposed that personality structure of women from various occupational groups would differ. We found following statistically significant differences between women. Businesswomen scored significantly lower on Neuroticism and higher on Extraversion in comparsion with research workers, actresses, and teachers. Teachers scored significantly higher on Extraversion in comparsion with research workers. Teachers scored significantly lower on Openness to experience in comparsion with actreses and research workers. No significant differences on Agreeableness were found between groups of women. Businesswomen scored significantly higher on Conscientiousness in comparsion with teachers.
