Abstract
In the research project, I would like to explore several interrelated issues concerning the socialization of the gender role of an adult woman. Based on the experience that the company is developing considerable pressure on the adult woman to fulfill the "duties" of her role.
She should have children, she should like children, she should be a good mother, etc. (see also Spence & Helmreich, 1972; Rudman & Glick, 2001). In order for a society to be able to fulfill these "obligations" from a woman, it must legitimize its demands.
However, since a woman can not be forced to have children or to like it, other forms of coercion are needed. This function is fulfilled by social norms, especially injunctive standards (Cialdini & Trost, 1998).
It is not just that women usually have children, but that it is so correct - and that they do not have children or do not like to be wrong and meets "rightly" with sanctions (in the form of slander, contempt, prejudices, stereotypes , in refusing to grant status to "full-fledged" women, etc.). Socialization here is intended to make the woman conform and comply with these standards; and that the woman who violates them should experience the moral emotions - she should be ashamed of herself and feel guilty.
Every society is a moral community whose integrity maintains certain moral principles or norms. These include, for example, commands: Do not do !, Do not kill !, You do not smile! Some of these standards have the force of laws, compliance with which can be enforced by the court and the non-compliance of which is punishable under legal standards.
Most of them, however, have the character of social standards. They can not be enforced by law.
Society then considers those who go beyond these standards to be deviant and also punishes them - for example, contempt, contempt, stereotypes, and prejudices. And on the contrary, he rewards those who are conformed to them, prestige, respect, and respect.
The intention is to look at the question of how a Czech society looks at a woman who is not in a "traditional female role" eg she has no child in terms of standards, morals and conventions.
