The influence of experienced parenting style on preference and forming own parenting style in adolescents
KŘÍŽ, Jakub
The main theme of the diploma thesis is the topic of educational psychology - parenting styles with a particular focus on adolescents. The theoretical part of the work is devoted in the first chapter to the period of adolescence and developmental changes associated with it, in the second chapter to the historical, traditional but also current concepts of family and education and the last part of the theoretical part of the work to the topic of parenting styles from their definition, first theories, to studies on their influence on the formation of the child's personality, the connection with the following manifestations of antisocial behavior or the risk of various mental disorders. Parenting style as a psychological construct shows long-term high reliability and usability, and many studies still work with this construct and prove that it says a lot about the functioning of the family, especially the parent-child relationship or demonstrate correlation between parenting styles and increased risk of various psychopathological behavior in children and adolescents. In the empirical part of the work, we decided to explore on a sample of 253 Czech adolescents, in what proportion the parenting styles occur in this age category. A quantitative design was selected, and a test battery was created using Dotazník pro zjišťování způsobu výchovy v rodině and BFI-10. When examining parenting styles, experts ask themselves which factors have the greatest influence on what parenting style parents ultimately use when their upbringing their own children. This is the source of the second goal of the research, where we tested relationships between all components of the parenting style of parents and adolescents' components of control. Thus, we examined the quantitative research methodology (correlations) to find out if there are some relationship between parents' emotions towards children (and control) and adolescents' degree of control they would have preferred if they had already been parents as well. We tried to verify with our sample of adolescents how much or whether at all, the individual dimensions of the parents' parenting style influence the gradual formation of their own parenting style, most of whom become parents within a few years. Regarding the occurrence of parenting styles, we found in comparison with previous research in the Czech environment, a smaller incidence of parenting styles representing traditional strict way of child rearing, and conversely a larger share of parenting styles combining either positive or extremely positive emotions towards the child with ambivalent or low control, i.e., parenting that provides children more freedom and plenty of expressions of love. After verifying the hypotheses, we found that in adolescents, the tendency to provide freedom decreases with the increasing negative emotional relationship of their own parents and decreases also with increasing demands of their own parents. A positive correlation was also found between both the components of the requirements (parents - adolescents) and the last and at the same time the highest negative correlation was found between the provided freedom of parents and the requirements of adolescents as future parents. The final hypotheses found a statistically significant positive correlation between the personality trait of agreeableness and the freedom of the adolescent as a future parent.

Čerňanská, Sára ; Mouralová, Magdalena (advisor) ; Klusáček, Jan (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with the non-formal education of children, focusing in particular on the description of factors influencing college-educated parents when choosing extracurricular activities for their children, who spend an average of 5 hours per week in extracurricular activities. In the thesis, I focus on primary school children as at this age parents are the key factor that affects children's education and they are the ones from whom the patterns of behaviour and values are transmitted. The aim is to find out what influences parents in choosing extracurricular activities, the extent to which children are participating in the selection and how parents share their roles in providing extracurricular activities. In the research eleven interviews were conducted, on which content analysis was carried out accordingly. The result is a description of factors that affect all parents to a similar extent as the child's personality, interest, age, and the distance of extracurricular activities from home. The main findings are different concepts of non-formal education of some respondents, their distinct levels of control and intervention in the selection, and various ideas as to how their child should spend time. According to these aspects, the three parental prototypical approaches were developed....

Indian Family in Selected Novels by Anita Desai
Kolmanová, Jitka ; Topolovská, Tereza (advisor) ; Chalupský, Petr (referee)
The purpose of this diploma thesis is to analyze the parent-child relationship in selected novels by Anita Desai. The novels chosen for the analysis are Cry, the Peacock; Clear Light of Day; Fire on the Mountain; Fasting, Feasting. The aim of the theoretical part is, firstly, to introduce Anita Desai and her style of writing, secondly, to lay the theoretical basis for further analysis of the attachment between children and their parents. In this part the author presents the Attachment theory, behavioural patterns and parenting styles (authoritarian, authoritative, permissive, uninvolved). The theoretical part is concluded by a portrait of Indian society and typical Indian family structure - the environment in which Desai's protagonists live. The practical part consists of thorough analysis of the selected novels. The analysis shows Desai's tendency to portray such parenting styles that instil insecurity in children. The results prove that these approaches to raising a child affect the personality development negatively. It was interesting to find out that gender bias influences not only the life-path and self-concept of the protagonists but also the quality of their relationship with their parents.

Parenting styles and siblings group in large families
Suchomelová, Anna ; Gillernová, Ilona (advisor) ; Mertin, Václav (referee)
The diploma thesis focuses on parenting styles and the sibling group of large families. The theoretical part describes the theoretical base of parenting styles, variables that can influence parenting styles and the specifics of large families. The qualitative approach in the empirical part was used. The study sample consists of nine Czech families with four or five children aged 1.5 to 18 years. Parents are mostly highly educated practicing Catholics. Data were gathered using qualitative and quantitative methods. The outcome of this research is a description of the specifics of family education in large families, possible causes for education differences among children in a family and the characteristics of a sibling group. Family size impacts communication among parents and children in the family, as well as the number of shared activities and the way the household is organized. Causes of differences in education among siblings can be found in the different personality characteristics, age, sibling constellation and the extent of parental experience. The significance of the sibling group is reflected in a compensation for lack of parental attention, an encouragement of younger siblings' development and a cultivation of social skills.
