Masnerová, Lucie ; Koťátková, Soňa (advisor) ; Opravilová, Eva (referee)
This diploma thesis in its theoretical and practical parts focuses on free play of children in pre-school facilities. Kindergarten is the place of early secondary socialization of the child and that's why one part of the diploma thesis is centred on this theme. The theoretical part helps for a deeper understanding of play, especially with 2-4 year old children and builds a foundation for the research. The practical part, based on one year's observation, monitors development of free play of a homogeneous group of children and finds how the quality of play changes with individuals as well as the group. Another focus lies on comparing two separate groups of children in their free play - one group having long term experience with free play and one without such regular experience. The main method of the research is observation. The results of the research points to the importance of free play for a pre-school age child and confirms the influence of free play in the process of early secondary socialization.

Analysis of Gender Unconventional Characters in Japanese Anime and Manga
Pleskačová, Valérie ; Hájek, Martin (advisor) ; Oravcová, Anna (referee)
In this thesis, I analyse gender unconventional characters of Japanese manga and anime. The topic is based on my long-lasting interest in this type of pop culture. Manga and anime, on which I build my research, were written in late 90' by Masashi Kishimoto and become the most popular manga of millennium. I use qualitative method through analysing documents, which are written parts of manga and video records of series Naruto/Naruto Shippuuden. I choose fifteen characters based on their gender roles and identities from these series. Next, I analyse every single character by constructing system of categories, based on which I connect categories to attributes of masculinity and femininity. To anchor my research, I use thesis and works, which are focused on gender in manga and anime and gender stereotypes applied in west cultures, which are written for example by Ann Oakley, Sandra Bem or Deborah Cameron. Object of research is to find out, if there are any regularities in making gender of each character, or if it is just a chaos, which has no measurable background. The conclusion of the thesis will be devoted to the limits of work and to future research of manga and anime.

Gender Aspects of Social Work from the Perspective of Students of the Faculty of Health and Social Sciences
JAROŠOVÁ, Martina
"Gender" often refers to gender roles, which means the expected behavior from a given gender. Gender is closely related to gender stereotypes that lead to gender discrimination. Gender stereotypes and prejudices occur to a large extent in social work. Social workers are managing them, and this can lead to an inappropriate assessment of the client's situation. This is because not all social workers are aware of gender stereotypes and prejudices, and they admit. Another opinion is also how social workers perceive gender stereotypes. A large number of workers consider them generally valid and some of them do not. The aim of the bachelor thesis is to find out whether there are statistically significant differences in the perceptions of the characteristics of men and women as social workers in the social sciences at the Faculty of Health and Social Studies. Research question: What is the occurrence of gender stereotypes in the Faculty of Health and Social Studies? Hypotheses: Is there a statistically significant difference between social classes in the perception of the characteristics of men - social workers? Is there a statistically significant difference between the social sciences in the perception of the characteristics of women - social workers? Quantitative research strategy, questioning method, anonymous questionnaire technique using semantic differential technique were used. The data obtained was generated using descriptive statistics in MS Excel and hypothesis testing was performed in SPSS using the t-test method. The interviewees attributed attributes to a social worker or social worker who were defined by a semantic differential. Properties (active - passive) were bounded by ranges from positive (1) to negative (5). The results of the research we observe that the field of studying SPVs have a more positive view (with some exceptions) to the social worker / social worker before studying art RPP. Research results can serve as a source of information not only for students of the Faculty of Health and Social Sciences, but also for teachers who can extend their teaching on this issue.

Psychological aspects of the transformation of gender role of transgenders in Czech context
Čechová, Helena ; Smetáčková, Irena (advisor) ; Hrubý, Radovan (referee)
The thesis presents the processes of gender role transition and sex reassignment from the perspectives of psychology, medicine, and sociology. Its main focus is on the various aspects influencing the psyche of a person undertaking transition. The thesis investigates why trans identity is commonly viewed as a pathology and the impact of pathologization on the self-perception of trans people. Furthemore, the traditional outline of the transition process in Czech sexology is compared to some current international approaches. A section of the text addresses psychotherapy as a key factor in transition. A significant component of the thesis is that it takes a sociocultural viewpoint on gender identity and gender roles. One of the goals is to understand how medical experts dealing with trans identity conceptualize transition and how trans people themselves conceptualize it. The overall aim is to investigate how both of these sides influence each other and what psychological aspects enter the processes of gender role transition and sex reassignment. Key words: transsexuality, transgender, sex reassignment, gender identity, gender role.

Tomboy - the identity of a young school girl with non-feminine features
Brožová, Martina ; Smetáčková, Irena (advisor) ; Onder, Jakub (referee)
My bachelor's thesis deals with development of the identity of a young school girl with non- feminine features. I am trying to bring insight into her self-perception, to understand questions like what are her differences, how she feels about her position in the family and among school friends, what are her role models and whether she wants to get rid of her differences or whether they are desirable. I am also trying to look into the social context of her closest environment and her classroom, what is dominant idea of femininity and masculinity in that class, whether she can be the target of homophobia due to her being different and what is her teacher's attitude towards her. I found that in the girl's class, gender plays an important part. The girl with insufficient femininity is being excluded. Assessment of femininity by her peers is a subject to common social and class norms. Class norms do not follow her family background, where there is distinctive overemphasis on masculinity compared to femininity. Expressions of masculinity are valued and strengthened by role models. The study consists of two parts: theoretical and empirical. In the first part I compare the facts from available literature with the facts of my research in disscusion. The theoretical part of this diploma study contains the...

Gender aspects of children's literature
Luhanová, Alexandra ; Brožová, Věra (advisor) ; Mocná, Dagmar (referee)
The relation between literature and gender themes has been studied from the first half of twentieth century especially in America and Great Britain. At the beginning it was concern of feminism orientated activists who focused on folk tales and their influence on female identity. Later the range of scientists focused on gender became wider just as the range of themes related to gender did. From the end of last century we don't consider the theme of gender as a specific theme of feminists wanting equality of gender. There are some new topics as for example new models of family and their presentation in children's literature. As new models of family we understand living in divorced family or living with parents of the same sex. Authors of these books want to help children to deal with this new situation but they want to impress the public as well. The most important books focused on this theme were published thirty years ago in the USA and Great Britain but we still can't find this in our bookshops. This finding seems understandable with books with gay and lesbian themes, because it's not so long since the registered partnership was legalized and there are probably not many families with parents of the same gender. What is surprising is absence of titles considering divorces because it's a social problem of...
