Active Listening in Long-Term Relationship
Teclová, Michaela ; Kalousová, Zuzana (advisor) ; Štěrbová, Zuzana (referee)
Active listening is an often mentioned concept nowadays. However, there is no consensus in the available literature as to its definition, nor is there a unified view of its role in long-term partner relationships. This paper presents in its first part a review of di↵erent approaches to the concept of active listening. It is evident here that there is not always an exact consensus across the literature and some authors often define the concept in their own way. However, most definitions contain several common elements, namely, firstly, communication of non-verbal engagement and immediacy, secondly, paraphrasing of the speaker's speech and thirdly, asking questions or sentences that encourage the speaker to elaborate further on their message or express their feelings. Emphasis is also placed on showing empathy and acceptance not only of the speaker's verbal but also of his/her non-verbal expressions. In the next sections, through the speci- fication of long-term partner relationships, the paper gets to compare studies aimed at assessing the impact of active listening on long-term partner relati- onships.

The use of active listening...

Primary family is one of the key factors in predicting satisfaction and stability in future romantic relationships of children. Part of this bachelor thesis is dedicated to variables of primary family.

Satisfying relationship between parents and with parents creates safe environment in which can child develop properly, learn to communicate and it also functions as model of ideal romantic relationship. The next imporant thing in child development is the presence of siblings, and the sibling constellation. Another variable is child attachment to parents, which in the future influences attitude and behavior in romantic relationships. Last but not least are parenting styles in primary family, that can affect if and how will children reach their full potential. In a research proposal I present a retrospective study which aims to identify ways of behavior that were present in primary family and helped develop stable and satysfying romantic relationships in adulthood.

Further on, it discusses the mechanisms of meditation practice and its effects - particularly on the development of self- regulatory skills and concludes with a presentation of existing experience from this area of research in penitentiary practice.

The Importance of Communication fot the Quality of a Relationship
Martinová, Petra ; Šulová, Lenka (advisor) ; Kalousová, Zuzana (referee)
This Bachelor thesis deals with the importance of communication for relationship quality. The thesis describes communication and its specifics in a relationship between partners while placing emphasis on communication behaviour which can facilitate or, by contrast, impede communication. In addition, it critically evaluates studies covering this topic. The suggestion for research is focused on the observation of couples in strong and healthy relationships. A strong and healthy relationship is the one in which both partners are satisfied. The description of communication behaviour typical of these couples could serve as an inspiration to couples in which communication does not work well, and could be used in relationship and marriage counselling. Further research in this area should be aimed at proving the causality of these phenomenons and so support a hypothesis saying that the improvement of communication leads to a relationship of higher quality. Keywords: interpersonal communication, a relationship between partners, relationship quality
