Influence of gender on the evaluation of anecdotes
Prchlíková, Klára
Linguists have focused on humor and its typical genre, anecdotes, for a relatively long period of time. Czech linguistics analyzed mainly formal aspects of anecdotes, especially linguistic means (Bečka, 1946; Komárek, 1992). But anecdotes are not only text, they have also their place in communication. Abroad therefore much research was conducted on the evaluation of anecdotes, while special attention was repeatedly taken into account the effect of gender on this evaluation. One of the recent research was conducted in the USA by Abel and Flick (2012). The results of their research showed that women and men evaluated sexist anecdotes differently: both women and men deemed as funnier jokes directed towards the opposite sex. To compare the results of this research with my own research conducted on Czech speakers, I created two versions of the questionnaire, which contained 24 anecdots of different kinds (basis of humor: verbal, situational, absurd jokes; overall impression: positive, negative jokes; form: conversational jokes, riddles etc.). These anecdotes were evaluated on a scale not funny – very funny. It turned out that both women and men deem as funnier anecdotes directed towards the opposite sex, which corresponds to the results from Abel and Flick (2012). The questionnaire survey also showed that men compared to women assessed as funnier vulgar jokes and anecdotes from the field of black humor.

KUBEŠOVÁ, Kristýna
The thesis, "Gender aspects of social work" deals with the issue of incidence of gender stereotypes and prejudices among social workers both gender in České Budějovice. The goal of this work is to find out if gender stereotypes and prejudices could be found in their mind and in practical approach to clients. Moreover, we would like to identify what create conditions for them and how the individuals try to deal with them. The theoretical part is divided into four chapters which focus on terms gender, gender issues generally as well as in connection with social work and above all on gender stereotypes and the incidence in the area of social work. The basic terms are discussed as gender, gender identity, gender role, gender contract and gender socialization. I am concerned with differences between gender, division of male and female role and created gender stereotypes. In addition, I deal with the theme of gender studies and discrimination in connection with gender marginally. Primarily, the theoretical part is focused on gender stereotypes and prejudices in social work and personality of social workers. The practical part is a description of the qualitative research, where attitudes of representative social workers are investigated in case of gender stereotypes and prejudices. With regard to the objective and qualitative strategy of this theses, two research questions were defined: 1) Is there any awareness in social workers about possible gender stereotypes and prejudices in social work?, 2) Are gender stereotypes and prejudices present in behavior, opinions and attitudes of social workers or as the case may be how they are manifested in approach to clients? Semi-structured interviews with 5 women and 1 man were conducted for the purpose of this study. They were selected by objective sampling intentionally. All of them work in organizations of social work in České Budějovice. The realization of the study took place in May 2014 in České Budějovice. The results were divided into three parts on the basis of semi-structured interviews and then were analyzed by the method of clustering. In the first part of interview, I am concerned with the basic information about social workers in connection with performance of social work. Then I focus on their own gender socialization and their idea what is the optimal distribution of gender role in family. Second part of interview is focused on consciousness of social workers about gender in social work. I took an interest in incidence of stereotyped behavior and creation of attitudes to clients. Moreover, the possibility of preference clients on the grounds of affiliation with gender was explored. The final part of interview, I focus briefly on reflexion of social workers and instruments which are used for reflexion of gender stereotypes and prejudices. The results were analyzed in a qualitative way and transformed to uncluttered charts. Results showed gender stereotypes and biases occur among social workers of male and female gender and their primary attitude to male or female clients is influenced by them. The incidence is mainly affected by transferring patterns of men and women role from their families. Nevertheless, men and female social workers are aware of their incidence and they try to eliminate and reflect them during their work. Because of these mechanisms, the attitude of social workers to male and female clients is getting better. In future, the thesis may serve as a source of information for social workers as well as general public who take an interest in this area.

Homelessness In Gender Perspective
ROKOSOVÁ, Michaela
Gender is often understood as social sex; it points to the culturally conditioned differences between men and women. An important part of gender is gender characteristics, i.e. typical characteristics attributed to men and women. Gender identity is acquired through the cultural social environment that an individual lives in. It refers to the differences in characteristics and in men's and women's perceptions of various life situations. For the terms 'homeless person' and 'homelessness', there are no exact definitions; nevertheless, many experts strive to capture the essence of this phenomenon. One such definition states that a homeless person is an individual without permanent housing or with no possibility of using a shelter of any kind in the long term. More exact definition can be found in the ETHOS typology, in which the homeless are classified into four categories: rooflessness, houselessness, living in insecure housing, and living in inadequate housing. The aim of my research was to find out the basic differences in men's and women's perceptions of being homeless, especially from the perspective of a career, health and social contexts, relationships to family, social bonds, etc. To meet the aim of the research, three research questions were raised. The first question aimed to find out how men and women became homeless. The second question focused on their current life, asking what aspect of homelessness they consider the most problematic. The third question focused on their future life. The research has shown differences in perceptions, especially for the first question. Women had lived with their families, partners, or friends before losing their homes, and the loss of these people made them homeless. Men, by contrast, had lived alone, and for most of them, the primary cause of losing their homes was the loss of their jobs. This thesis shows that the gender perspective offers an interesting view on the homelessness phenomenon, which could help people working in direct contact with the homeless.
