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...

The diploma thesis "Attitudes of Pupils of Selected Upper Primary Schools towards LGBT" is concerned with the topic of different sexualities and attitudes towards LGBT among current upper primary school pupils. The thesis consists of two main parts, theoretical and practical. In the theoretical section, several chapters provide basic information about LGBT, sexuality, and other specific concepts in sexology. There is also a section dealing with feminism concerning the issues addressed in this thesis. Feminism is followed by an elaboration of legislation relating to civil partnerships, gender reassignment, or child custody by gay couples. The last section is linked with next sub-chapter that addresses gay and lesbian parenting. As LGBT people, and homosexuals in particular, face hate speech in contemporary society, a short subchapter on homophobia has been included. The last sub-chapter of theoretical part is a brief summary of the whole chapter. The practical part follows, and the main aim of this part was to determine what specific attitudes and opinions are held by 8th-grade pupils in different primary schools in Prague, Vysočina, and Moravian-Silesian regions. The methodological tool used to conduct the research was a questionnaire. The questionnaire contained questions concerning public...

Emotional intelligence and its comparison among heterosexual and homosexual people
Jelínek, Jakub ; Niederlová, Markéta (advisor) ; Šípek, Jiří (referee)
The aim of the theoretical part of the thesis is emotional intelligence and the overview of changes in understanding this construct since its establishment. Furthermore, the thesis provides a summary of two significant models of emotional intelligence as well as a survey of existing means of its measurement and enumeration of studies focused on the connection between emotional intelligence and particular aspects of life. Finally, the theoretical part of the thesis explores the possibilities of developing emotional intelligence. The practical part uses quantitative research to analyse individual differences in emotional intelligence by comparing the levels of emotional intelligence between homosexual and heterosexual population. The findings revealed a significant difference between trait emotional intelligence of homosexual and heterosexual men. Moreover, the results also verify the difference in overall emotion regulation and emotion regulation strategy of emotion suppression between heterosexuals and homosexuals. The findings also support the claim that women have higher emotional intelligence than men and that the individuals who regard themselves as physically healthy have higher emotional intelligence than those who consider themselves as seriously ill. Keywords: Emotional intelligence,...

What does the femininity mean: comparison between homosexual and heterosexual women's perspective
Neubertová, Adéla ; Horák, Vít (advisor) ; Kotík, Michal (referee)
This bachelor thesis is focused on the notion of femininity. It aims to explore the ways in which women perceive femininity. Simultaneously it aspires to discover whether these perceptions differ between heterosexual and homosexual women. It is also a partial goal to reveal factors which influence this perception. The theoretical part deals with femininity as a gender category and attempts to introduce the reader into gender issues in terms of femininity. It documents feminine expressions which are generally accepted as typical. It also lists a delineation of homosexuality primarily for the purpose of selection of interviewed women.

Beyond the heteronormative understanding of gender and sexuality
Jahodová, Dita ; Kolářová, Kateřina (advisor) ; Sokolová, Věra (referee)
This thesis presents the basic principles of the functioning of the heteronormative order: in what way heterosexuality is constructed as the norm and in what way it is maintained as such. The thesis simultaneously examines the possibilities of disrupting the heteronormative order, creating queer spaces, and defining the term queer and queer politics in the framework of a queer subculture. The aim of the research carried out within the thesis is to contribute to the visibility of queer subculture, present ways in which the term queer is used in queer subculture and show to what degree the examined queer subcultural spaces are created as open spaces and to whom they are accessible. In the Czech Republic the term queer is used as a synonym for LGBT identities or as an umbrella term for LGBTI people and activities. Nevertheless, as follows from the analysis of semi-structured interviews, the term queer can have even other meanings. It can express criticism of heteronormativity, homonormativity, mainstream LGBT politics and culture, and the attempt to overcome the norms connected with gender and sexuality. In this regard, the term queer can refer not only to an identity and also to a political position. The interweaving of queer and feminist theory can be inspiring not only for the development of gender...
