Personality differences in individuals of various sexual orientations
Fořt, Jakub ; Havlíček, Jan (advisor) ; Procházka, Ivo (referee)
The previous research identified a range of personality differences between men and women of various sexual orientations. Non-heterosexual individuals systematically show higher gender nonconformity and greater openness to experience than heterosexual individuals. Non-heterosexual men also show higher levels of neuroticism compared to heterosexual men. The main aim of this study is to replicate previous findings regarding personality differences. The study further aims to determine whether some of the observed differences in personality factors might be explained by differences in gender nonconformity among individuals of various sexual orientations. Via an online survey, a short version of the Big Five Inventory (BFI-10) and a number of scales measuring gender nonconformity were administered to men (N = 3,418) and women (N = 4,690). In total, 232 individuals identified as asexual, 1,814 as bisexual, 3,024 as heterosexual, 2,468 as homosexual, and 570 as pansexual. Our results demonstrate higher gender nonconformity among non-heterosexual men and women, higher neuroticism among non-heterosexual men, and greater openness to experience among bisexual men and women compared to heterosexual individuals. Asexual women showed lower levels of extraversion than women of other sexual orientations. Gender...

Can a Dual-beta Five-Factor Model Explain Stock Market Variation in CEE?
Lu, Shuhong ; Čech, František (advisor) ; Chondrogiannis, Ilias (referee) ; Paulus, Michal (referee)
The study applies a dual-beta five-factor model to investigate how return is correlated with market factor, size, value, profitability and investment factors in the CEE region. Dual betas are employed in a pooled regression to account for different behaviour in different market conditions. The results show that market factor is significant across the sample period from 2003 to 2017, and the coefficient of the market factor is lower in bearish market and higher in bullish market. By employing dual betas, the explanatory power of a model has increased. However, the effect is limited, and we do not recommend using the dual-beta model due to the loss of simplicity. Post-regression diagnosis has confirmed the appropriateness of using our model by checking the key assumptions of Ordinary Least Square. Limitations are presented at the end to suggest future study.

The Truth Behind the Lies: The Experiment
Harutyunyan, Mikayel ; Chytilová, Julie (advisor) ; Matoušek, Jindřich (referee)
The Truth Behind The Lies: The Experiment. Abstract The following thesis presents an economic experiment exploring the patterns of cheating behaviors among secondary school students. The students filled in the Big Five and the Dark Triad personality inventories, for which they were rewarded. The payoff in sweets was determined by a die roll. Since the outcomes of the die throw were known only to the subjects, they could decide whether to report the real outcome of the die roll or deceive. Subsequent analysis showed that a certain fraction of participants cheated, but some of them claimed a non-maximal payoff. We also find the appeal to honesty ineffective in reducing the cheating rate. Additionally, we find positive correlation between narcissism, extraversion and cheating, while openness to experience, neuroticism and Morality, a facet of agreeableness, covary negatively with dishonesty. Individuals with poor academic ability cheat less, while subjects who perform better at the Cognitive Reflection Test appear to deceive more. Furthermore, indicators of "unstable" family environment (divorced or unemployed parents) are positively associated with cheating, whilst the effect of a more affluent family background is equivocal. Ultimately, females seem to forgo the opportunity of cheating to a full extent and...

Regional stereotypes: Personality characteristics of a typical Czech, Moravian and Silesian
Hřebíčková, Martina ; Cholastová, E.
The research compared profiles of personality traits based on ratings of regional stereotypes. The five-factor model of personality measured with National Character Survey was used as a framework for rating of regional stereotypes. Altogether, 944 university students from different parts of the Czech Republic were asked to rate personality traits of a typical inhabitant of three regions in the Czech Republic: Bohemia, Moravia and Silesia. Similarities between profiles of regional stereotypes were determined with ICC. Respondents from different parts of the Czech Republic agreed in perception of personality traits of a typical Bohemian, Moravian and Silesian. The comparison of regional stereotypes showed no convergence. A typical Czech was perceived as more open to new experience and more conscientious as compared to a typical Moravian and Silesian. A typical Moravian was rated as extraverted and agreeable.

Slovak Tango: Perception of Slovak Personality Characteristics
Hřebíčková, Martina ; Kouřilová, Sylvie
The study focuses on national stereotype of Slovaks and its comparison with Czech, German, Austrian and Polish stereotypes. Over 4,136 Czech university students and 100 adults in eight subsamples from different parts of the Czech Republic rated five “typical country representatives” on National Character Survey Results indicated that the typical Slovak is perceived the same way across groups of respondents. The second goal of our study was to compare Slovak auto- (ratings by Slovaks) and heterotereotypes (ratings by Czechs). We found no correspondence between perceptions of a typical Slovak from an ingroup and outgroup perspective. Our third goal was to compare stereotypical profiles of the five countries’ representatives based on ratings from Czech respondents. We found that the profile of a typical Slovak corresponds with the profile of a typical Pole, while profile of a typical German corresponds with the profile of a typical Austrian.

Personality of women and personality of men in the light of the NEO Personality Inventory (NEO-PI-R)
Hřebíčková, Martina
Gender differences in five personality traits have been documented across many cultures. Results showed that women reported themselves to be higher in Neuroticism, Agreeableness, Warmth, and Openness to Feelings, whereas men were higher in Assertiveness and Openness to Ideas. In the contribution data from self-reports 430 men and 526 women on the Czech version of the Revised NEO Personality Inventory (NEO-PI-R) are presented. Gender differences previously found across cultures were replicated. Possible explanations for this finding are discussed, including biological theories, social role model and evolutionary psychology.

Age differencies in five personality dimensions
Hřebíčková, Martina
This contribution is concerned with the age differences in five personality traits (Neuroticism, Extraversion, Openness to experience, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness). Similar patterns of age differences were seen in many cultures. Younger people score higher on Neuroticism, Extraversion and Openness, whereas the older people score higher on Agreeableness and Conscientiousness. In the contribution data from self-reports and informant ratings on the Czech version of the Revised NEO Personality Inventory (NEO-PI-R) are presented. Results were compared with relevant data from other countries. The possible interpretations of age differences are mentioned (e.g. from the perspective of the Five-Factor Theory or evolutionary approach to personality).
