Sexism and gender
Škrábová, Michaela ; Smetáčková, Irena (advisor) ; Lukavská, Kateřina (referee)
This bachelor 's thesis aims at mapping sexism among men and women in the Czech Republic as well as describing the causes of eventual differences in levels of sexism between the two. For this purpose, a newly translated 22 item ambivalent sexism inventory was used (Fiske & Glick, 1996). This inventory has been recently standardized for the Czech population. Questions concerning selected demographic characteristics were added to this questionnaire to better observe the impact of related variables on sexist attitudes. Hypothetical scenarios and other additional questions were added to the questionnaire as well to make the data more complete. The research sample consisted of 656 respondents of varying gender, age, education, place of residence and marital status. Respondents received the extended questionnaire either in paper or online form. Afterwards, an analysis of the respondents' answers was carried out. The theoretical part of this thesis is focused on defining the terms of gender and sex, introducing basic biological effects on learning gender stereotypes in contrast to the effects of socialization, definition of a stereotype as a prejudicial pattern of thinking, defining sexist behaviour and finally introducing the key theory of ambivalent sexism. The aim of the empirical part is a detailed...

Předmětem této bakalářské práce je analýza genderových stereotypů ve vypravěčské linii a designu videoher. Jsou zde také vyjmenovány klíčové historické momenty pro zásadní pochopení videoherního průmyslu a přítomnosti genderových stereotypů v něm. Dává příležitost vidět, jak události v reálném světě a veřejné mínění ovlivňují videohry a vytvářejí nebo snižují genderové stereotypy v nich. Teze nabízí vhled do problematiky nadměrné sexualizace mužů i žen, včetně toho, jak může ovlivnit vnímání sebepojetí u různých lidí. Otázka sexualizace je posuzována z několika pohledů, mezi nimiž existuje kulturní rozdíl mezi východními a západními zeměmi.

Wage inequality among young college graduates: Can we find any evidence for reverse gender wage differential?
Vrbovský, Samuel ; Mysíková, Martina (advisor) ; Šlegerová, Lenka (referee)
This thesis examines whether in the United States among young college gradu- ates in male-dominated dominated job fields the the gender wage differential is reversed, i.e, women earn more than similar men. The thesis further adds two additional hypotheses that narrow the examination down to large employers and singles. To evaluate those hypotheses the thesis estimates linear regression models for each of the male-dominated job field and each hypothesis using data from 2017 National Survey of College Graduates (NSCG). Although the results revealed that in IT and mathematics and in physical sciences women earned more than similar men, with the effects being more pro- found among those working for large employers and among singles, the results were not statistically significant. Those results are, however, still important in context of societal narrative and gender wage gap literature, since they do not hint any potential discrimination of women in male-dominated fields.
