The Possibilities of using the principles and concepts of Gestalt therapy in Supervision
Karásek, Daniel ; Havrdová, Zuzana (advisor) ; Schautová, Nina (referee)
The Thesis deals with the interconnection of the Gestalt approach and the Supervision. The aim of the thesis is to map and search the possible use of the principles and concepts of the Gestalt therapy in the field of offering the Supervision through the statements of experiences, attitudes, knowledges and the unique reality of six wise supervisors who know the theory and practice of the Gestalt approach. First, the Gestalt Therapy is presented, its basic principles and concepts are named. Then the Supervision is defined, its general principles are enumerated, its relation to the Psychotherapy is defined and pursuant the available resources the Supervision is viewed from the Gestalt Therapy pespective. Qualitative research which is the core of the work combines procedures of the Phenomenological method and the grounded theory. The results found during the research are presented by the paradigmatic model and the graphic model, which visualize Gestalt principles and concepts used in the supervision process. The results are accompanied by the vivid testimonies of the participants so the Thesis might inspire not only supervisors with the interest in the Gestalt Therapy. Eventually the results are summarized, discused and further action is offered. Key words: Gestalt Therapy, supervision, here and know,...

Less is sometimes more: study of decision - making in the context of cognition, intuition and well-being
Schautová, Nina ; Bahbouh, Radvan (advisor) ; Höschlová, Eva (referee) ; Buriánek, Jiří (referee)
This dissertation presents results from three research projects, which extend available findings in the area of psychology of decision-making. It focuses on intuitive decision-making, the role of context and its relationship to decisional satisfaction and well-being. First research project addressed the possibility of generalisation of selected intuitive heuristics on non-financial decisions. Despite some methodological issues, results show that we invest time more easily than money, and intuitive heuristics cannot be automatically generalized to time decisions. Second research project focuses on context and its impact on decisional satisfaction. It shows decisional satisfaction can be influenced through decisional context. Eliminating escalation of commitment impacted resulting satisfaction on an experiential level, although cognitive level remained intact. Last research project focused on interindividual differences in relation to decisional satisfaction and well-being. Results show that higher competence influences decisional style, but it only higher self-confidence, perceived decisiveness, comes with higher decisional satisfaction and well-being. Data from this study do not allow to make judgment as to the direction of a causal relationship. Nevertheless, it opens many new questions in the...

Less is sometimes more: study of decision - making in the context of cognition, intuition and well-being
Schautová, Nina ; Bahbouh, Radvan (advisor) ; Blatný, Marek (referee) ; Lewicka, Maria (referee)
The goal of this work is to provide an overview of new trends in the research of decision-making, as well as offer practical guidelines for the practice of decision-making based on up-to-date knowledge. Theoretical part offers an overview of current developments and efforts in decision-making along with a critical perspective on the limited view of decision-making. I offer a new perspective on the purpose and goals of research in the area of decision-making with the aim to improve not only objective results of decision-making, but also overall well-being. I also revitalize intuition as a valid strategy for decision- making. Empirical part presents three research studies, which focus on various aspects of this new approach to decision-making. First focuses on time decisions, which are, unlike financial decisions, almost uncovered by decisional research. Second research builds on current work of D. Ariely and D. Gilbert and supports their thesis, that commitment plays a key role in decisional satisfaction. Last research maps our self- perception in decision-making and how it relates to our well-being. Key words: decision-making, intuition, well-being, life satisfaction, commitment
