Attitudes of Students of University of South Bohemia in České Budějovice to planning parenthood
SOUKUPOVÁ, Edita
The Master's thesis deals with the issue of family planning among full-time male and female students of the University of South Bohemia in České Budějovice. It examines their attitudes towards family planning and aims to determine the differences in views between men and women. The thesis is divided into a theoretical and a practical part. The theoretical part includes graphs that show the development of aggregative and final fertility, birth rate, marriage and divorce rates. It also explains some important terms related to demography, family, parenthood and gender. Furthermore, it describes different modern forms of cohabitation. The practical part was carried out in the form of quantitative research; a method of questioning was used to collect the desired data. Data for hypothesis testing was gathered using a questionnaire technique. The questionnaire was distributed to male and female students of the University of South Bohemia via the study departments of individual faculties during February 2020. The questionnaire survey examined the attitudes of male and female students towards family planning and marriage as well as their attitudes to family policy. Microsoft Excel 2007 was used to process the obtained data, and STATISTICA EN 13 was employed to test the established hypothesis. Two hypothesis were formulated. Hypothesis 1: "More than half of the full-time male and female students at the University of South Bohemia would like to become parents." This hypothesis was confirmed based on the quantitative research. Most male and female students at the University of South Bohemia do plan to have children. Hypothesis 2: "Full-time female students at the University of South Bohemia plan to have more children than full-time male students." This hypothesis was disproved. The results of testing this hypothesis showed that there is no significant difference between men and women studying full-time at the University of South Bohemia regarding the number of children they plan to have. The results show that, although male and female students at the University of South Bohemia currently focus mainly on their studies, parenthood is important to them and they would like to become parents in the future. Furthermore, the results indicate that there is no difference between male and female students at the University of South Bohemia regarding the number of children they plan to have in the future.

SOUKUPOVÁ, Edita
The Bachelor's thesis deals with the issue of refugees and current attitudes of Czech university students, male and female, towards this issue. The thesis is divided into a theoretical part which is elaborated on the basis of reference sources and defines important terms that are necessary for proper understanding of the issue. This part aims to clarify the issue of refugees. It also addresses important Czech and international legislation on this topic. Furthermore, it deals with what refugees are going through when they arrive in the destination country. The practical part is elaborated in the form of quantitative research with the use of questionnaire technique. The questionnaire investigates the opinions and attitudes of Czech male and female university students to refugees and the current migration crisis and what factors influence these attitudes. The data was obtained through a questionnaire distributed electronically to respondents for 20 days during February 2017. A canonical corresponding analysis (CCA) was carried out using Canoco 5 programme to process the data. The questionnaire was sent to male and female university students in the Czech Republic. Participation was voluntary and anonymous. In the introduction, respondents were informed that the questionnaire would be used for research purposes only as part of a Bachelor's thesis. They were also informed about the Bachelor's thesis. Questions were formulated to show what the attitudes are of Czech male and female university students towards refugees. Questions were asked to discover whether the students were willing to accept refugees in the Czech Republic, provide assistance to them, and whether they were worried about refugees. It was also important for the research whether they were well informed about important terms such as "refugee" and "migrant". The following hypothesis was formulated: "Students of Czech universities who are already working and living on their own have a friendly attitude towards refugees." This hypothesis was confirmed in the quantitative research. Students who are not financially supported by their parents during their studies would accept refugees in the Czech Republic and provide them with some help. Moreover, they are not worried about refugees and are interested in the current migration crisis. The second hypothesis was formulated as follows: "Students of Czech universities who have studied abroad have a friendly attitude towards refugees." This hypothesis was also confirmed in the quantitative research. Students who have studied abroad as part of their studies would accept refugees in the Czech Republic, provide them with some help, they are not worried about refugees and are interested in the current migration crisis.
