Coping with the gender unequal world Zvládanie rodovej nerovnosti Supervisor Školiteľ/ka Gabriel Bianchi Consultant Konzultant/ka Miroslava Žilinská, M.A. Annotation Anotácia Along with the critical feminist position that gender inequalitites need to be fixed by fixing "the system" (politics, policies, regulations, institutions, norms, rules, etc.) there is the urgent challenge to identify successful individual strategies of women who, in spite of the gender stereotyped environment, live gender authentic lives. Therefore this project is looking for identification of individual psychological capacitites: personality traits, developmental processes (e.g. attachment style), related values (e.g. Schwartz model of universal values‘ structure) and social learning dimensions ( e.g. learned helplessness), along with cultural scripts, which enable certain women develop a functional resilience to gender stereotypes in work&life circumstances and offer a pool of skills/predictors for overcoming discrimination and supporting women‘s psychological health. Similar studies were performed by Popper et al. and Bianchi et al. addressing successful carreers of women and gender specificities in women’s resilience.
