The value system of men and women in the current family
KOUBKOVÁ, Bohumila
The objective of thesis was to identify the most important values of men and women in the current family and role division in these families. The theoretical section defines the topic through professional literature. I present here the differences between men and women from the biological, psychological and sociological perspective. Then, I focused on the family and the present, values and value orientation. Finally, I worked out the roles of men and women. To find out the opinions and attitudes related to the thesis objective and hypothesis, I used quantitative research. Data collection was carried out using the method of interviewing and the technique of questionnaire. The questionnaire survey was conducted in January and February of 2011 and it was preceded by a pilot study. In total, 210 pieces of questionnaires were distributed. 176 properly completed questionnaires, which were usable for the research, were returned. The research sample consisted of married men and married women from the South Bohemian Region. The sample of respondents was selected randomly. The condition was that both the men and the women had children. The bachelor thesis established two hypotheses. In connection with the results of the research, it needs to be emphasized that the value system of men and women in the current family is almost the same, but in terms of the order of life values. The most important value for men and women in the current family is health. The value of the family took the second place. Of course, it is obvious that for a woman, in terms of all aspects, the value of family represents a somewhat higher value than for men as compared to employment. In connection with the division of roles in the current family it can be said that men are more inclined to the traditional division of roles. It is necessary to mention the fact that women disagree with this division. The results of thesis show the most important values and division of roles of men and women in the current family. The gained knowledge can be used as a source of information for other research studies dealing with this issue. It could also be used as education material for instruction that is associated with this issue.
