Broadly defined political ideology: Liberalism, Conservatism and Right-wing authoritarianism - often percieved as identical, are concepts dominantly used by researchers as descriptors of two distinct groups of people. However, this ideological understanding stems from overly generalized conclusions of current research: Empirically defined Social and Economic dimension of ideology is better described by two negatively correlated factors than one broad conservatism factor. Social and Economic conservatism and Authoritarianism are rather distinct concepts with specific personality and demographic correlates. Social and Economic ideology is - in part contrary to expectations - mostly predicted by Openness to Experience, Extraversion and Emotional stability. Economic conservatism differs from other ideological dimensions being mostly predicted by Income and Education. Social conservatism differs from Authoritarianism being predicted by Age. Moreover, in contrast with Authoritarianism, Economic and Social conservatism are both connected to unique opposite interactions of Income and Openness to Experience. Keywords Social and economic ideological dimensions, Authoritarianism, Personality predictors

The aim of the research is to mediate an insight into young adults' reasoning about moral dilemmatic situations, that deal with a wedding and setting up the family, and to uncover a moral dimension of the marriage.

Tato práce zkoumá vzájemné vazby mezi kulturou, společenskými normami a principy, sociální diversifikací a politikou Mexika. Jejím hlavním cílem je určení, do jaké míry se latinskoamerická kultura promítá do politického vývoje Mexika. Při charakteristice mexické kultury vychází z výzkumů Geerta Hofstedeho a jeho kulturních dimenzí. Odpovídá na otázku, co vedlo k tomu, že politický vývoj Mexika byl zcela odlišný od vývoje ostatních zemí latinskoamerické kultury. Analyzuje kulturní podmíňenost faktorů, které zapřičinily to, že Mexiku vládla po sedm desetiletí jediná politická strana ? Partido Revolucionario Institucional (PRI), aniž by se jednalo o diktaturu. Dochází k závěru, že tato nevídaná stabilita není v rozporu s kulturními dimenzemi, ale že PRI dokázala vhodně využít kulturně daný charakter mexické společnosti, vyznačující se vysokou mírou sociální diversifikace. Vytvořila specifický politický systém, v dané kultuře fungující. K jeho změně pak docházelo postupně, s tím jak se proměňoval charakter mexické společnosti. V souvislosti s dynamickým vývojem mexické společnosti následně předpovídá změny kulturních dimenzí.
