Ageism in the Czech republic

The diploma thesis "Ageism in the Czech republic" explores areas, where Czech seniors are perceived in discriminatory manners. It maps where they can encounter such behaviors, how do they manifest and which parts of society display those ageist attitudes. For the research I have used a qualitative inquiry way of focus groups and further individual interviews. Research sample was formed partly by seniors living in nursing home and partly by those ones living at home, relatively self-reliantly. The obtained data was analyzed, coded by opened and selective coding and after that evaluated. To achieve good validity of research I have used Q-sorting as an auxiliary method in research sample of young adults working in social services or in related areas. The data I received was analyzed by correlation analysis. I have defined basic and most important points from all levels of research where seniors perceived discriminatory behavior and pressure for young and adult populations. As a suitable prevention I have established the education to values and familiarization with problems of seniors
