A pilot study of efficiency of cognitive behavioral treatment on pacients with anxiety disorders with special focus on intimacy
Hanušová, Nikola ; Preiss, Marek (advisor) ; Klusák, Miroslav (referee)
In my master's thesis, I investigate the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral therapy on patients with anxiety disorders, with a specific focus on the area of intimacy. I examine changes in personality functioning, differences between the control and experimental groups, the influence of program completion under different conditions, and the impact of socio-demographic variables. The pilot study subjects are patients who completed the program in Ward 1 or attended the day clinic at the National Institute of Mental Health. The patients underwent a six- week cognitive-behavioral therapy program with elements that focus on intimacy. Interviews were conducted with patients at the beginning and end of the program to monitor changes in personality functioning. The research tools STiP 5.1 and LPFS-BF 2.0 were used for measurement. The results were subsequently compared with respondents from the intact population (currently not undergoing any psychotherapeutic or psychiatric treatment) who underwent interviews at the same time intervals. It was found that it is possible to measure disruptions in personality functioning of anxious patients based on STiP 5.1 and LPFS-BF 2.0, which differ from the personality functioning of the intact population. Based on the comparison of the first and second assessments of...

Who divorces whom: unilateral divorce legislation and the educational structure of marriage
Afunts, Geghetsik ; Jurajda, Štěpán
There is evidence that the introduction of unilateral divorce legislation (UDL) starting in the late 1960s increased US divorce rates. We ask whether making divorce easier affected the educational structure of marriage. Based on marriage and divorce certificate data covering 1970-1988, we provide new evidence on the evolution of the educational structure of marriage inflows (newlyweds) and outflows (divorces), and estimate UDL difference-in-differences effects on both flows. While UDL did not contribute to rising homogamy (the tendency towards married partners having the same level of education), it did affect the educational structure of marriage: it made generally unstable hypogamous couples (women marrying less educated partners) less likely to divorce, and it made homogamous couples more stable than hypergamous ones (women marrying more educated partners).

A qualitative research strategy has been chosen for the elaboration of the practical part. We will also find research questions through which it has been found out what ideas young people have about parenting; how important role marriage plays for today's young adults and what opinion they have on alternative forms of cohabitation. The method of questioning was chosen, where the data collection took place through a semi-structured interview. The sample consisted of young people ranging in age from 20 to 26, from the South Moravian Region. After obtaining the necessary data, the interviews were transcribed and then evaluated by means of cluster analysis. The research has revealed that parenthood is for today's young adults the embodiment of love, a new relationship is developed and experiences are transferred to a new generation, a person acquires a vision for the future, sees the success of his/her child in the growth of his/her life. Today's young people perceive marriage from a purely practical point of view, especially in easier communication in the authorities. Individuals of the young generation stated that it is not essential for them that the child be born into a marriage, they consider much more important the fact that the child grow up in a complete family. The research also showed that today's young adults have a positive attitude towards alternative forms of cohabitation.

Attitudes of Students of University of South Bohemia in České Budějovice to planning parenthood
SOUKUPOVÁ, Edita
The Master's thesis deals with the issue of family planning among full-time male and female students of the University of South Bohemia in České Budějovice. It examines their attitudes towards family planning and aims to determine the differences in views between men and women. The thesis is divided into a theoretical and a practical part. The theoretical part includes graphs that show the development of aggregative and final fertility, birth rate, marriage and divorce rates. It also explains some important terms related to demography, family, parenthood and gender. Furthermore, it describes different modern forms of cohabitation. The practical part was carried out in the form of quantitative research; a method of questioning was used to collect the desired data. Data for hypothesis testing was gathered using a questionnaire technique. The questionnaire was distributed to male and female students of the University of South Bohemia via the study departments of individual faculties during February 2020. The questionnaire survey examined the attitudes of male and female students towards family planning and marriage as well as their attitudes to family policy. Microsoft Excel 2007 was used to process the obtained data, and STATISTICA EN 13 was employed to test the established hypothesis. Two hypothesis were formulated. Hypothesis 1: "More than half of the full-time male and female students at the University of South Bohemia would like to become parents." This hypothesis was confirmed based on the quantitative research. Most male and female students at the University of South Bohemia do plan to have children. Hypothesis 2: "Full-time female students at the University of South Bohemia plan to have more children than full-time male students." This hypothesis was disproved. The results of testing this hypothesis showed that there is no significant difference between men and women studying full-time at the University of South Bohemia regarding the number of children they plan to have. The results show that, although male and female students at the University of South Bohemia currently focus mainly on their studies, parenthood is important to them and they would like to become parents in the future. Furthermore, the results indicate that there is no difference between male and female students at the University of South Bohemia regarding the number of children they plan to have in the future.
