This study is focused on findings distinctions in value priorities, materialism and subjective well-being of Czech students in relation to the differences in socio-economic status of their family. The theoretical part of my work is divided into four chapters. In the first chapter there is presented the Schwartz's theory of the universal content and structure of human values - one of the most powerful theories of human values. In the second chapter I introduce the conception of materialism from Richins, who deals with the researches of materialism in the USA. The third chapter explains what is in fact the quality of life and presents the Diener's theory of subjective well-being. In the fourth chapter I deal with the influence of socioeconomic status of family to the individuals. I show this influence on a researches about inequalities in educational chances of children, researches about differences among families from lower and higher social class. There are also presented the theories of socio-cultural handicaps.

TITLE: The personality of the individual in the process of attaining social status - from social reproduction to identification of the sources for intergenerational upward social mobility. AUTHOR: Tereza Bariekzahyová DEPARTMENT: Department of Psychology SUPERVISOR: Doc. PhDr. Karel Hnilica, CSc. ABSTRACT: The thesis, in which the view through the sociological prism is enhanced by the lens of psychology, theoretically and empirically examines non-cognitive personality traits and characteristics ('Big Five', Self-esteem, Locus of Control, Willpower), within the context of the social and psychological aspects of attaining social status (influences by one's family, peers and teachers, and others), with a specific focus on intergenerational upward mobility and the identification of its sources. Research for this paper was designed as a combination of (primarily) representative questionnaire surveys among the adult population in the Czech Republic, and qualitative interviews with selected individuals who have shown intergenerational upward mobility. The results show that, aside from cognitive skills, the statistically less relevant and hitherto somewhat neglected non-cognitive traits and characteristics of individuals do play a role in the process of attaining social status.

Personality traits, socialization agents in family of origin and stratification process: Self-esteem and parenting styles
Šafr, Jiří ; Bariekzahyová, Tereza
The paper focuses on personality traits, socialization in family and stratification process. Using data from the survey "Distinction and Values" (2008) which surveyed cohorts ages 30–34 along with their parents, first we identify parenting styles among families from different social classes. Second we analyze determinants of self-esteem: the strongest positive factor is parental self-esteem and democratic/authoritative parenting style, reading books during childhood and participation in extracurricular activities; while permissive/laissez-faire parenting style and poor intra-family relations limit self-esteem. Also white collars witness higher level self-confidence. What’s more, self-esteem – apart from dominant effect of parental educational aspiration and active "firm hand" parenting style – independently affects (at least in case of women) intergenerational upward mobility from working class origin.

Characteristics of the Personality and Social Mobility
Bariekzahyová, Tereza ; Šafr, Jiří
We assess differences in personality traits (extroversion, neuroticism and conscientiousness), self-esteem and locus of control among distinct types of intergenerational mobility trajectories and effect of volition at the elementary school (net of socioeconomic status and cultural capital of the family of origin) on status and specific mobility trajectories: reproduction (staying at the bottom) vs. upward mobility from working class. Datasets from representative surveys are analysed: ISSP 2009 (age 18–87) and Distinction and Values 2008 (age cohort 30–34).
