Gender Aspects of Social Work
KUBEŠOVÁ, Kristýna
The thesis, "Gender aspects of social work" deals with the issue of incidence of gender stereotypes and prejudices among social workers both gender in České Budějovice. The goal of this work is to find out if gender stereotypes and prejudices could be found in their mind and in practical approach to clients. Moreover, we would like to identify what create conditions for them and how the individuals try to deal with them. The theoretical part is divided into four chapters which focus on terms gender, gender issues generally as well as in connection with social work and above all on gender stereotypes and the incidence in the area of social work. The basic terms are discussed as gender, gender identity, gender role, gender contract and gender socialization. I am concerned with differences between gender, division of male and female role and created gender stereotypes. In addition, I deal with the theme of gender studies and discrimination in connection with gender marginally. Primarily, the theoretical part is focused on gender stereotypes and prejudices in social work and personality of social workers. The practical part is a description of the qualitative research, where attitudes of representative social workers are investigated in case of gender stereotypes and prejudices. With regard to the objective and qualitative strategy of this theses, two research questions were defined: 1) Is there any awareness in social workers about possible gender stereotypes and prejudices in social work?, 2) Are gender stereotypes and prejudices present in behavior, opinions and attitudes of social workers or as the case may be how they are manifested in approach to clients? Semi-structured interviews with 5 women and 1 man were conducted for the purpose of this study. They were selected by objective sampling intentionally. All of them work in organizations of social work in České Budějovice. The realization of the study took place in May 2014 in České Budějovice. The results were divided into three parts on the basis of semi-structured interviews and then were analyzed by the method of clustering. In the first part of interview, I am concerned with the basic information about social workers in connection with performance of social work. Then I focus on their own gender socialization and their idea what is the optimal distribution of gender role in family. Second part of interview is focused on consciousness of social workers about gender in social work. I took an interest in incidence of stereotyped behavior and creation of attitudes to clients. Moreover, the possibility of preference clients on the grounds of affiliation with gender was explored. The final part of interview, I focus briefly on reflexion of social workers and instruments which are used for reflexion of gender stereotypes and prejudices. The results were analyzed in a qualitative way and transformed to uncluttered charts. Results showed gender stereotypes and biases occur among social workers of male and female gender and their primary attitude to male or female clients is influenced by them. The incidence is mainly affected by transferring patterns of men and women role from their families. Nevertheless, men and female social workers are aware of their incidence and they try to eliminate and reflect them during their work. Because of these mechanisms, the attitude of social workers to male and female clients is getting better. In future, the thesis may serve as a source of information for social workers as well as general public who take an interest in this area.

Public attitude to abused women as victims of home violence in the South Bohemian Region
BEDLÁNOVÁ, Marta
A goal of the research part of my bachelor thesis was to find out what is an awareness of lay and professional public of women as victims of the domestic violence in the South Bohemian Region. Because I live in the South Bohemian Region, I focused the research just on this locality. I was especially interested in the fact, if people living in the South Bohemian Region are influenced by certain prejudices and stereotypes and whether they are sufficiently informed about the problem of the domestic violence. For the reason of a big number of respondents I chose an empirical method of the investigation {--} a quantitative research. To get necessary data I used a questionnaire method or the standardized set of question with an anonymous course. From summarized results of the research I concluded, that neither lay public nor professional public living in the South Bohemian Region, do not think of abused women as victims of the domestic violence with prejudices and stereotypes. However, the fact that people living in the South Bohemian Region do not think of abused women as the victims of the domestic violence with prejudices and stereotypes, does not mean that there are no myths, prejudices and stereotypes at the South Bohemian lay as well as professional public. For example I have registered a still prevalent myth at the lay public: ``women provoke men to use the violence{\crq}q. I noted an existence of the prejudice at the professional public: {\clq}qattractive and self-confident women do not become victims of the domestic violence{\crq}q. The other result of my bachelor thesis was to ascertain that, in contrast to sufficient information at the professional public, the lay public have not still enough information about the problem of the domestic violence. Currently I can see the lack of information mainly on the phenomenon at the lay public as the fundamental problem of the domestic violence. I think that it would be very useful, efficient, but also interesting to focus an attention on the way how to achieve to greatest possible awareness of the Czech public.

The second hypothesis {\clq}qAttitudes towards subcultures with extremist orientation - anarchists and skinheads are more affirmative at students which does not study humanities than at students of the Faculty of Health and Social Studies of the University of South Bohemia`` was confirmed.
