Consumption of animal-based products among ecologically active individuals
 Kalčoková, Maša ; Balon, Jan (advisor) ; Hasmanová Marhánková, Jaroslava (referee)
The diploma thesis deals with the paradox that arises based on a conflict of actions and opinions on the consumption of animal products. The aim of the work was to reveal the social factors that cause this discrepancy, assuming that social factors play an important role. This assumption is based on the consideration of meat as a social construct rooted in culture, and thus the consumption of meat is examined in this paper not as an individual decision but as a result of the influences of different institutions and social structures. This paradox is being studied on ecologically active individuals, and it is assumed that in this case the discrepancy between opinions on animal products and actual behaviour will be even more pronounced. The conclusion of the work reveals as one of the most important factors family and traditions, which cause that individuals are afraid of exclusion from the social group of the family and at the same time they want to be true to traditions. Respondents often preferred to conform to members of the groups to which they belong or to culture and traditions. The work also deals with the guilt caused by this discrepancy, taking into account the impact of ecology as an external factor.

Psychological and cultural aspects of the human animal relationship
 HEMMEROVÁ, Eva
The bacherol thesis deals with the psychological aspects of attitudes towards animals and with psychological context of eating meat. The theoretical part is focused on a historical development of attitudes towards animals and their socio-cultural determination, and the ethical aspect of our current attitudes towards animals and psychological mechanisms associated with the consumption of meat is discussed there. The empirical part examines attitudes towards animals and dependence of attribution of mental capacities to specific species on its perceived edibility. The research group consists of vegetarians and vegans (n=207) and meat eaters (n=247). Quantitative approach was combined with a qualitative research for better interpretation (n=33). The results support an expected influence of vegetarianism and gender on attitudes towards animals, as well as the influence of meat consumption on the attribution of mental capacity.
