The Influence of Combined University Studies on Relationships
VÁLEČKOVÁ, Soňa
The bachelor thesis "Influence of Master's Studies in combined form on the relationships in partnership" highlights the broader context of the changes in cohabiting and simultaneously acquaints us with the circumstances that may affect the development of the relationship between partners. One of these circumstances, which may largely affect the relationship, is the higher education in combined form one of the partners. In the Czech Republic, it is still not common to share domestic work and childcare equally between woman and man. Higher study of one of the partners can bring a problem in partner negotiations of how to reconcile the two work (study) career with the care of the relationship, household and children. Generally, this situation can lead to many conflicts between partners, which may even result in a breakup or divorce, because higher education in the combined form is not a short-term issue, but it takes three to five years. An important factor to deal with this long-term stress to the relationship is primarily balanced distribution of roles between the partners, which is necessary to add to a reciprocal mutual understanding, tolerance and support, without raising unnecessary conflicts. The goal of this study was to determine whether the relationships affected university studies in a combined form, and whether there exist differences in the impact on relationships when man or woman is studying. The first objective was to determine which areas of partnership are the most negatively affected in the Master's Studies in combined form one of the partners, the second objective was to determine whether the influence of higher studies in combined form one of the partners lead to the disintegration of a relationship (divorce , gauge). Based on the selected targets, two hypotheses were set: (1) "Higher education in combined form has a negative impact on relations in the partnership" and (2) "a relationship is negatively affected when woman is studying." To obtain the necessary information I used quantitative research that was conducted through a questionnaire survey. The questionnaire used in the framework of the research had 19 items and mainly open and semi-open questions were used (see Annex). The sample consisted of students of the combined study of Health and Social Care at the University of South Bohemia in the Ceske Budejovice, living in a relationship or married. The total number of respondents for the research process numbered 146, of which 110 were women and 36 were men. Conclusions when comparing the responses of women and men need therefore to be viewed with regard to their overall relationship. Categorical data analysis and statistical processing of the data survey was carried out by sorting the second stage. Authenticity hypothesis was tested by chi-square test (see Figures 14 and 17). The results of the survey are presented in graphs. The first hypothesis "Higher education in combined form has a negative impact on relations in the partnership" has been confirmed. The results showed that during the study, respondents in partnership increase the volume of disagreements, especially in caring for the couple and in the care of the household, so I also got the answer to one of the goals. The second hypothesis, "a relationship is negatively affected when studying the woman", was not confirmed. For both sexes, there are differences in the relationship between their university studies in a combined form, but did not show a statistically significant negative impact of the study on women partner in the relationship. Discussion is focused on comparing the results of my research with the results of other sociological studies on similar issues.
