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...

How sibling constellations can be affected by health disadvantage
Plachá, Lenka ; Květoňová, Lea (advisor) ; Šumníková, Pavlína (referee)
The diploma thesis on the topic "How sibling constellations can be affected by health disadvantage" deals with mapping the influence of living with a sibling with a disability and the effect of the family environment and relationships on intact siblings in the field of career choice and attitudes towards planning one's own parenthood. Furthermore, it also examines the possible influence of the gender of the intact sibling on the aforementioned areas. The aim of the research investigation was therefore to find out whether intact siblings in adulthood tend to work in helping professions, specifically whether living with a sibling with a disadvantage led them to choose a profession with persons with disabilities and also whether it influenced their attitude towards their own parenting. Qualitative research was used for the investigation, specifically the design elements of grounded theory. An in-depth, semi-structured interview with five respondents, adult siblings of persons with various types of health handicaps (autism spectrum disorders, Down's syndrome, cerebral palsy) was used to obtain data. The interviews were analyzed using open coding. The answers to the research questions are documented by verbatim citations of respondents' answers in individual categories. Since only elements of grounded...

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.

The use of fairy rale themes with a focus on sibling relationship with elementary school pupils from socially disadvantaged families
PALEČKOVÁ, Adéla
The bachelor's thesis deals with the use of fairy tale themes with a focus on the sibling relationships of five children aged 10-11 years from socially disadvantaged families. The main focus of interest is to compare children's statements about their relationship to siblings and their reflection in their pictures, specifically in pictures of fairy tales with sibling themes. The theoretical part contains the description of the theoretical basis, which forms the basis for the practical part. The practical part is focused on the interpretation of pictures of selected children and finding connections with their statements.

Sibling constellations influence
MOCKOVÁ, Jana
This bachelor's thesis in the theoretical part presents theories describing the influence of sibling constellations and the views of some psychologists on the field of sibling relationships. The practical part maps the parents' view of the nature and behavior of their children with regard to the issue of sibling constellations and mutual relationships, experience with preparing a child for the birth of a younger sibling and with the support of sibling relationships. It also presents the experiences and opinions of kindergarten teachers on the influence of the sibling position on the behavior and experience of children and the change in child behavior in connection with the birth of a younger sibling. The research showed that the view and experience of parents and kindergarten teachers largely coincide and also correspond to the theories of A. Adler and K. Leman, with the exception of the only ones, where the parents 'view differs to some extent from the teachers' point of view. It was also found that most of the children of the interviewed parents faced certain problems after the birth of a younger sibling, which was confirmed by the experience of psychologists mentioned in the first part of the work. The research also showed that the sibling relationships between the children of the interviewed parents are mostly good and that the parents try to support these relationships in relatively similar ways.

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...
