Gender differences in reading habits among children
Martinů, Veronika ; Pavlík, Petr (advisor) ; Knotková - Čapková, Blanka (referee)
This diploma thesis deals with children's relationship to books and reading and, above all, possible differences between girls and boys in their approach to reading. Its goal is to find out what the reading culture is like among children between the ages of ten and sixteen. The work also aims to find out what, if any, differences there are in reading between girls and boys. This was determined through a quantitative method, namely a survey research. Respondents are children and young people attending lower gymnasiums or the second level of primary schools in various places in the Czech Republic, which were randomly selected. The main themes of the work are differences in the frequency and popularity of reading, as well as the preferences of children and young people when choosing individual books, the influence of school, family and the respondents' close surroundings on their reading habits. The work reveals the differences in reading between girls and boys and shows whether children's reading culture is declining or the opposite.

Interpersonal Communication on Social Networks: A Case Study of the Project Therapy by Sharing
Hoffmanová, Denisa ; Pavlík, Petr (advisor) ; Kobová, Ĺubica (referee)
In my diploma thesis, I conduct an analysis of the relational conversations of the Therapy by sharing project that took place online and are recorded both in books and on the social network Instagram. The aim of my thesis is to present how the relational interactions of contemporary young generations are constructed, and to show how people negotiate with each other on social networks and how these negotiations are recorded through the aforementioned project. The thesis is divided into a theoretical and an empirical part. In the theoretical part, I discuss the theories related to the research area. Emphasis is placed on the problematic aspects of online communication as well as on the specifics of intimate relationships. The research methodology is largely based on quantitative analysis, which examines differences in men's and women's interactions, but I also use qualitative analysis of selected conversations. The material analysed consists of the conversations that make up the content of the Sharing Therapy books, which are also posted on the instagram account @esterajosefina.

Experiences of Vegan and Vegetarian Men Living in Turkey
Dinçer, Kemal ; Helman, Ivy Ann (advisor) ; Pavlík, Petr (referee)
Key words: Hegemonic masculinity, vegan, vegetarian, meat and men, masculinity. Although there have been many different academic studies on veganism/vegetarianism in recent years, there are limited studies specifically addressing vegan/vegetarian men. Considering the studies on this subject in Turkey, it is also seen that there is almost no research focusing on vegan and vegetarian men. This study aims to find the relation between men and meat and the role of this relationship in the experiences of vegan/vegetarian men in Turkey. Using hegemonic masculinity as a theoretical framework, I aim to illustrate if veganism/vegetarianism is popular among men in Turkey, in which environments and areas vegan and vegetarian men are exposed to negative experiences, what kind of reactions do they get in social environments and what institutions are directly or indirectly involved in the experience of vegan and vegetarian men. Additionally, my thesis researches the position of vegetarian and vegan men within Turkey-specific hegemonic masculinity practices. My work also specifically addresses the question of whether vegan and vegetarian men challenge this Turkey-specific hegemonic masculinity, and if so, how does the process take place.

Hrdličková, Agáta ; Sokolová, Věra (advisor) ; Pavlík, Petr (referee)
Master thesis Questioning youth: Strategies and support of youth development in the context of the Czech educational system analyses the system of prevention of homophobia and transphobia as well as possibilities of supporting questioning youth - adolescents who question their sexuality or gender identity. This master thesis provides an analysis of theoretical concepts regarding LGBTQ* adolescents, gender socialisation and institutional education. I followed three main research questions: It attempts to find answers to the following research questions: 1) How do people who are working at school counselling centres perceive questioning youth or LGBTQ* adolescents? 2) Which tools of prevention do the schools have in the areas of sexual and gender identity based discrimination or bulling and which ones do they actually use? 3) What does the systemic support of schools in the field of homophobia and transphobia prevention look like? Semi-structured interviews conducted with school counsellor and school psychologists have been chosen as a main research method. The selection of communication partners is limited to Prague and the surrounding area and includes both public and private schools. The empirical chapter establishes that the main influence on the approach of the communication partners to...
