Gordon Allport formalized a theory about intergroup contact, positing that contact between dissimilar groups could be effective in reducing intergroup prejudice. Over half a century later, research suggests that engaging in race talk —conversations about race and racism— can offer benefits such as increased racial literacy and critical consciousness, less intimidation when it comes to addressing race, less fear of differences, and a greater appreciation for people of all cultures and communities. However, race can be a difficult topic to discuss. It typically incites strong emotions, often challenges an individual's lived reality, and triggers anxiety and discomfort for conversational participants. While these barriers to race talk have been well-studied with White participants, little empirical work has been conducted with people of color as a focus. The present study utilized a qualitative, focus-group based methodology with grounded theory analyses to gather information on people of color's barriers to race talk. Results suggest that varied interpersonal contexts — such as when talking to White individuals, other people of color from different racial groups, and their own race— elicit differing levels of comfort and subsequent changes to engagement in race talk. Furthermore, intersecting identities such as gender, sexual orientation, and skin tone further affect people of color's comfort in race talk engagement. Lastly, participants offer insight into race talk strategies that can be used to foster more helpful, respectful, and mutually beneficial race talk.

Um Schlüsse aus Nutzerstudien zu ziehen, ist es notwendig, die erhaltenen Rohdaten zu strukturieren. Dazu kann eine Methode zum Analysieren von qualitativen Daten genutzt werden, die als das offene Kodieren bekannt ist. Bei dieser werden die Rohdaten gelabelt, um Aspekte der Daten hervorzuheben und zu gruppieren. Kodiermethoden profitieren stark von einer virtuellen Umgebung. Im Gegensatz zum Kodieren auf Papier ist der Platz in digitalen Anwendungen zum Kodieren unbeschränkt. Große Datenmengen können effizient bearbeitet und gehandhabt werden und nach dem Kodieren ist es möglich die Ergebnisse durch weitere Programme zu analysieren. Aktuelle Anwendungen zum Analysieren von qualitativen Daten (QDA Anwendungen) bieten zwar einen weiten Funktionsumfang, unterstützen aber nicht das Arbeiten auf interaktiven Displays. Dabei könnten interaktive Großdisplays den Analyseprozess positiv beeinflussen, da diese Datenvisualisierungsprozesse effizienter gestalten. Deshalb wird in diese Arbeit ein Prototyp vorgestellt, welcher sowohl das Kodieren von Daten in herkömmlicher Desktopumgebung sowie auf interaktiven Displays ermöglicht. Bei der Anwendung handelt es sich um eine lokale Webanwendung, welche es ermöglicht Daten aus Tabellenformaten zu importieren und diese in Form von Notizzettel auf einer Arbeitsfläche zu strukturieren und zu kodieren.

This diploma work is dealing with the phenomenon of matrimonial crises. In the introductory chapters of the theoretical part we are defining the main themes of this work - relationship, philosophy of marriage, crises and marital crises. We are concerned with the couples therapy, its history and selected approaches. One chapter is devoted to the developmental approach that gives the possibility to see marital crises as an opportunity to self-knowledge, personality growth or relationship advancement.

We would like to offer a more generalized vision of marital crises. We would also answer the questions how does a marital crises looks like and what processes are going on. Our work is setting down the research goals and describes in details chosen methodology, research sample and the methods of collecting and processing the data. Research data were collected mainly in the half- structured interview that was completed by the observation of interaction styles and a technique of relationship sculpturing. The research results were processed with the help of the method of open coding that is part of the grounded theory. The data were analyzed,...

1 Error! Unknown document property name. Abstract The presented master thesis deals with the topic of stereotypical presentations of disabled people in Czech newspapers and with its impact on the audience. This topic build on previous findings regarding repetitive stereotypical images and frames of disabled which were not only studied on newspapers. Simultaneously with those reoccurring frames and images we can also find positive of negative labels which are used in connection with disabled in newspapers. The work examines whether these phenomena occur also in Czech online and printed news. Using qualitative content analysis phenomena mentioned above were searched in randomly selected one hundred news. Requirement for choosing articles to selection was that the articles content need to be whole about handicapped people. Precisely, based on previous literature the text were analyzed and it was searched for narrative frames or models, stereotypical frames and labels that could be presented in texts. The purpose of this analysis was not only to demonstrate that those frames or labels are present in Czech newspaper articles but also make an attempt to fins new stereotypical frames or labels that those texts may contain. The second part of the analysis is to verify whether the public perceives these...

The thesis Framing of Me Too Campaign in Selected Czech Media examines how selected Czech newspapers and magazines represented the Me Too movement. This movement is considered to be an example of hashtag activism which relates to sexual harassment and gender based violence. This thesis draws both from theoretical and analytical concept of media framing. Using qualitative analysis based on grounded theory approach - more specifically open and axial coding - the research aims at identification and description of news frames that appears in analysed articles. The sample is composed of selected articles published at newspapers and magazines, including Hospodářské noviny Lidové noviny, Právo, Blesk, Reflex, Blesk pro ženy and Respekt. Axial coding stage revealed ten news frames which were integrated into three major categories: (1) Social consequences of the Me Too movement (2) Me Too in the context of Czech Republic and (3) Film festivals (and awards) in the light of the Me Too movement.
