Identity, lifestyle, and motivation of change lifestyle of homeless youth
MAREK, Jakub
The dissertation "Identity of young homeless person, its lifestyle and its motivation to change it" presents part of the results of the research grant "Psychosocial determinants of homelessness of young people", in which I contributed with Professor Vágnerová. The complete results can be seen in a monograph entitled "Homelessness as alternative existence of young people"(Vágnerová, Csémy, Marek, 2013). The dissertation attempts to describe homelessness as a process consisting of three parts. The first part ("pre-homelessness") follows primary factors of homelessness which means one person's "downfall"resulting in life on the street and reasons of homelessness. The second part ("in-homelessness") follows secondary factors that keep one person in the status of homelessness. The third part of the process ("post-homelessness") follows the reintegration process and tertiary factors which are barriers in the reintegration process. This division is being distinguished in both the theoretical as well as in the practical part. The theoretical part is divided into brief description of psychological theories, which may explain behavior of homeless people and into results of foreign research, which deal with the homelessness of young people. In the practical part we primarily follow descriptive quantitative part, which quantitatively describes life of homeless people. In the qualitative part, which is based on analysis (inspired by the Grounded Theory) of stories of former homeless people, I put together an adaptation and reintegration model of young homeless people. The findings of the quantitative part show that results of foreign research are similar to our research sample, except for some details (especially when it comes to U.S. population). The findings of the qualitative analysis discovered that respondents go through a negative impulse (devaluation of lifestyle) and through a positive impulse (discovery of a value outside of homelessness), through discovery of options how to reach this value, and how to obtain ability and skills to reach a change.

Partnership from the perspective of men and women
ELIAS, Annemarie
The present bachelor thesis focuses on partnerships between young adults both from a man's perspective and from the perspective of women. The aim of this study is to investigate the expectations of the partners involved in a relationship and to understand whether those expectations are based on gender stereotypes and roles. The theoretical part examines different attitudes and expectations of men and women in relationships. The practical part is based on qualitative research applying semi-structured interviews. Overall, the current study consisted of six samples, which were based on interviews with six volunteers (three pairs). Interviews were conducted with each partner separately. It was assumed that in the absence of a partner respondents would be more open and truthful. At first the information were processed under the pair's separately and subsequently compared with other pairs. As expected, differences were found between the expectations of men and women in relationships, which were based on gender roles.

The issues of a young adult individual?s self-concept within the Czech society and a social worker?s support with dealing with them
JELÍNKOVÁ, Eva
The thesis deals with the problems of a young adult human being's self-concept from the psychological point of view. The influence of the social elements on the start in an adult life can be observed through individualism, consumerism and quality of life, which all affect the two most important parts of life ? the work and human relations. The main part of the thesis focuses on the self-concept issues of a young adult in correlation to the (dis)satisfaction in the social roles as all the roles include various expectations. The dissatisfaction can be caused by preferring the ideal "myself" which is not in accordance with the actual requirements of the social environment. This can have a negative impact on the self-concept and individual's functioning within the community and society. The individual turns his attention to the social worker when having self-concept problems that might result in mental difficulties. The theoretical starting points are applied to some particular areas of the social work (social work with the young adults, social work with families, marital and family consultancy).
