Communication patters in conflicts of romantic couples with anxious and non-anxious attachment style
Kuldová, Adéla ; Lindová, Jitka (advisor) ; Bártová, Klára (referee)
Meaningful and fulfilling relationships are one of the essential pillars of human satisfaction. However, maintaining close relationships takes considerable effort and cannot be done without mutual communication, of which conflict resolution is an integral part. Each individual has a distinctive communication style, which is linked to a form of attachment formed in early childhood. However, the area of anxious attachment and communication patterns is not sufficiently researched. The intention of this research is to observe the communication patterns of partners with anxious attachment during a conflict situation. Only four communication patterns appear in the literature - cycling negativity, demand-withdraw, mutual avoidance, and constructive communication. Although the topic of partner communication is very broad, negative communication patterns in partners with an anxiety profile have been denied attention. My aim is to a) examine whether previously undescribed communication patterns occur during conflict resolution, and b) describe what these communication patterns are.

Genital and subjective sexual arousal in response to the copulatory movements of different animal species
Eliášová, Kristýna ; Bártová, Klára (advisor) ; Klapilová, Kateřina (referee)
Previously known studies on sexual arousal have indicated that men and women react differently to exposure to erotic stimuli. Male sexual arousal (both genital and subjectively reported) is in line with their reported sexual orientation, while female genital arousal is higher even for subjectively non-preferred stimuli. For men, genital sexual arousal is likely triggered by the preferred sexual object, while this may not be the case for women. One possible explanation is that female genital arousal is an automatic response to copulatory movement itself, regardless of subjective preference. However, this hypothesis has not been empirically tested yet. The aim of the research is to use an experimental design to explore the subjective and genital sexual arousal of men and women while watching copulatory movement in different animal species with varying degrees of phylogenetic relatedness to humans. A total of 30 heterosexual men and 23 heterosexual women had their subjective and genital sexual responses measured while watching 11 video stimuli. Two videos depicted penetrative sex between humans (male-female, female-female), and the other nine videos depicted copulation between animals. Both women and men showed no genital or subjective sexual arousal to non-human sexual stimuli. The results of the...

Attention bias toward copulatory movement: An eyetracking study
Čihařová, Barbora ; Bártová, Klára (advisor) ; Hejtmánek, Lukáš (referee)
Pozornostní zkreslení vůči kopulačnímu pohybu: Eyetrackingová studie Abstract The diploma thesis is a part of the project Investigation of male and female sexual reactivity: psychophysiological and subjective responses to videostimuli of the Faculty of Humanities, UK (GA20-03604S). The eyetracking study represents one of three parts of the research and focuses on the level of attention given to non/copulatory sexual movement. Studies examining sexual arousal indicate that both men and women react differently when exposed to various erotic stimuli. For example, men exhibit higher arousal to preferred stimuli directly related to their sexual orientation, while women respond even to subjectively non-preferred stimuli. Researchers explain this phenomenon as a possible sexual response to copulatory movement, where non/preferred stimuli play a less significant role in female arousal than in male arousal. The aim of this research was to test the level of attention towards non/copulatory sexual movement using an eyetracking device. We analyzed eye gazes in both sexes, with the goal of determining whether attention to different videos (copulatory, non-copulatory) differs between heterosexual men and women. The analysis of the resulting measurements did not reveal any significant effects in terms of attentional...
