Influence of birth order on a person with a focus on middle children
Sasová, Viktorie ; Kuba, Radim (advisor) ; Šebánková, Blanka (referee)
Family represents one of the key environmental factors significantly influencing individuals. Previous studies have shown that the way a person is influenced within this environment i also determined by the role they occupy within the family. One of the related factors can be, among others, the birth order. It may play a role in shaping personality trats among siblings and influencing their life attitudes. For a better understanding of the effects of birth order, this work first addresses the differences between siblings from an evolutionary and ecological perspective, identifies the main factors influencing the birth order effect, and describes the tge characteristics of each specific birth order type. The work provides insights into the issue of birth order's influence, with particular focus on middle-born children, in relation to their personality, sexual behavior, and psychological specificities of middleborns. Research has shown that birth order has a significant effect on middle-born children, particularly in the areas of prosocial behavior, sexual strategy, and manifestations of self- harming or suicidal behavior. However, there is a relatively limited number of atudies specifically addressing the influence of birth order on middlborns. Additionally, many of these studies were published...

Reflection of sibling relationship in art production
NOVÁKOVÁ, Gabriela
The bachelor thesis explores the possibilities of using art therapy elements in the relationships between siblings. The work is divided between a theoretical and a practical section. The theoretical part defines nuances in siblings' relationships, siblings' constellations, and fairytales. The work focuses on the fairytale Gingerbread house, which provides a base point for the fieldwork with respondents. The tale's history and interpretation potential are explored. The practical section provides an overview of the art therapy fieldwork with 5 respondents. It describes the used data collection methods and elaborates on instructions given to respondents for their individual artwork. In the section dedicated to case studies, 4 respondent cases are explored. It aggregates information collected during the interviews with respondents and compares them to the content, that is possible to find in their paintings.

Awareness about sibling relationships in kindergarten
MACHÁČKOVÁ, Lenka
The theoretical part of the bachelor's thesis "Perception of sibling relationships among preschool teachers" summarizes the influences in development of a child's personality and the aspects of the different birth orders. In the practical part, semi-structured interviews with kindergarten teachers examined the extent to which they perceive the importance of sibling relationships and birth order for understanding the behavior of children in kindergarten. Analysis of the interviews explored teachers' awareness of the topic, their opinion on the influence of birth order and the possibility of using this knowledge in day-to-day work as kindergarten teachers, for example to explain the behavior of their wards. Our research has shown that educators do not consciously take into account the order of a child's birth, but at the same time they do notice it in some of their wards and use this knowledge to help regulate some typical manifestations of children's behavior.

Sibling relationship in relation to locus of control
SPÍNOVÁ, Dominika
ABSTRACT This bachelor thesis is focused on the search for relationships between birth order and concept of locus of control. The theoretical part consists of a chapters which, except a family and education, also contain detailed description of invidual birth order and their personality characteristics together with the theory of locus of control from the point of view of J. B. Rotter and H. Levenson. The primary goal of the empirical part is verify the relationship between birth order and locus of control using the IPC scale questionnaire. The secondary goal is to verify the connection between birth order and parental educational situations. The research sample consists of 147 respondents consists of female (N = 112) and male (N = 35). Data are collected and then compared both from individual respondents which are not related to each other and from respondents within entire families where are three siblings (N = 36). During the verification of hypothesis itself, no significant differences between birth order and locus of control in the whole research group were confirmed, but significant differences were found between locus of control and birth order from indivdiual families. The connection between birth order and parental educational situations has been proven.

Application of fairy tale topics in artetherapeutical approach to solving siblings´ relationships
HÁJEK HOLÁ, Zuzana
The work focuses on the theme of sibling relationships appearing in the fairy tales Cinderella and Gingerbread house. The aim of the thesis is to analyse the differences in the processing of individual authors with respect to their relationship with their sibling, if they have a brother or sister, if they are a younger or older sibling. In the thesis there are outlined the main sibling constellations and their basic characteristics, the importance of fairy tale themes in the life of an individual and selected passages of fairy tales that touch the topic of sibling relationships. Symbols and their meanings, together with information obtained from the interviews with the authors of pictures, are used to interpret both themes painted by the addressed participants. Influences that may be decisive for selecting a particular display of the fairy tale are identified, mentioned identical and different elements, and compared within the group. Given the small sample of participants, the results of this work cannot be generalized, but the conclusions of the thesis may serve as a topic for further studies.

The influence of birth order on social pathological phenomena and risky behavior
Polienko, Arina ; Kuba, Radim (advisor) ; Daňková, Hana (referee)
This thesis focuses on the influence of birth order on social pathological phenomena and risky behavior. It describes the theory of birth order and emphasizes its evolutionary-biological assumptions. The main goal of the thesis is to summarize existing knowledge about the relationship of birth order with selected socially unacceptable phenomena. It compares the diverse results of scientific studies and assumes possible causal mechanisms of the dynamics observed in them. It points to understudied areas that require further investigation. In these areas, the thesis tries to predict theoretically possible indirect dependence through other factors that are connected with the theory of birth order. It points to the importance for research of such aspects of birth order theory as the age spacing and gender of siblings. This thesis should serve as a theoretical basis for further research of the issue.

Influence of birth order and sex of siblings on sexual behavior and preferences
Daňková, Hana ; Kuba, Radim (advisor) ; Krejčová, Lucie (referee)
Ontogeny of a human being is influenced by several innate and environmental factors. One of the key environmental factors is family, its structure, and the dynamics of family relationships. These can depend, among other things, on the birth order. Relatively a lot of research has been conducted to study the effect of birth order on humans, but the area of human sexuality is often neglected. Research in this area has so far yielded relatively inconsistent results and needs to be expanded further with new knowledge. That is the main goal of this diploma thesis. In our cross-sectional study, 4495 subjects from two-child families were analyzed. We performed a partial correlation analysis of birth order and selected variables related to human sexuality, considering the sex of siblings. Particular attention was paid to the first sexual experience, the number of sexual partners, sociosexual orientation (SOI-R), and dominant-submissive sexual preferences. We found that the order of birth is related to several of these variables (age of first sexual experience, number of sexual partners, sexual preferences), but the key role is played by the combination of the individual's gender and the sex of his sibling. These results should be followed up by more detailed research within specific families to verify the...

Family constellation and its influence on human sexuality
Pitáková, Hana ; Kuba, Radim (advisor) ; Zikánová, Tereza (referee)
The focus of this thesis is on the influence of sibling constellation on human sexuality. It concentrates especially on the influence of the birth order on sexual strategy, mate choice, sexual orientation and sexual onset of adolescents. It contains a comprehensive overview of the studies that have been carried out in this field, including the general trends and their possible causes. At the same time, it highlights the lack of attention to the insufficiently explored areas that should be exporated in the future. The introductory chapters also provide a brief summary of the findings of sibling constellations and human sexuality.

Regional differentiation of fertility according to legitimacy in the Czech Republic, 1993-2012
Říhová, Kristýna ; Fialová, Ludmila (advisor) ; Šťastná, Anna (referee)
Regional differentiation of fertility according to legitimacy in the Czech Republic, 1993-2012 Abstract The aim of this thesis is to analyze the evolution of marital and extra-marital fertility in the Czech Republic between 1993-2012. In addition to a brief overview of the Czech Republic, the focus is on data for the districts. To demonstrate the developments and comparisons, we selected the starting and ending years and also the years 1999 and 2008. Thus, the years in when the least and the most children were born. Because of different numbers of births during the years surveyed between individual districts, comparisons of percentages of births were chosen. We have demonstrated that there are differences between districts and larger proportion of children who were born outside of marriage, especially single mothers in the districts in the northwest, the north, and the northeast of the Czech Republic. These data were illustrated in using cartograms with the help of ArcMac. We also focused on the relationship between the birth order of the child and the mother's marital status. Here, we demonstrated that the share of children born to single mothers is higher in children of the firstborn than of the second- and third- born. Keywords: Marital and extra-marital fertility, mother's marital status, birth order,...
