Srncová, Michaela ; Šafr, Jiří (advisor) ; Tuček, Milan (referee)
Diplomová práce Proces vzniku hodnot: Mezigenerační přenos v rodině se zabývá procesem přenosu hodnotových orientací na individuální úrovni. Cílem práce je zjistit, zda a za jakých podmínek dochází k přenosu hodnot mezi generacemi v kontextu socio-profesní třídy.

Original data are analyzed in the broader context in which the trajectories take place - the context of dynamic and changing labour market and changing character of universities, and interpreted in the context of existing drop-out...
