Personality predictors of exercise addiction in competitive sport
Vítková, Tereza ; Mudrák, Jiří (advisor) ; Bezdíček, Ondřej (referee)
Exercise addiction is becoming a recognized concern, particularly prevalent in elite athletic environments where the pursuit of perfection is emphasized. Despite growing awareness of problematic exercise behaviors, research investigating the underlying risk factors remains limited. This study aimed to examine personality predictors of exercise addiction in Czech elite athletes. A sample of 168 competitive athletes, aged 18 to 30 years, completed assessments including the Exercise Addiction Inventory, Sport Motivation Scale-6, the Athletic Identity Measurement Scale, Performance Perfectionism Scale-Sport, and the Neuroticism Scale from Big Five Inventory. In terms of prevalence, the findings revealed that 16.5 % of athletes exhibited problematic signs of exercise addiction, while 76.7 % were potentially at risk with low severity of symptoms. No significant differences were observed between different groups of sports. Using multiple linear regression, the study demonstrated a significant overall effect of personality predictors on exercise addiction. Neuroticism, introjected regulation, and athletic identity were identified as significant predictors of exercise addiction. These findings highlight the importance of psychological factors such as personality traits and motivational regulation in...

Mandousová, Michaela ; Šípová, Ivana (advisor) ; Mudrák, Jiří (referee)
Mental health is an important topic in the context of the work environment. Therefore, the thesis examines the impact of team autonomy, reflexivity, and participation on employees' mental health. The theoretical part focuses on the topic of mental health, the JD-R model, burnout syndrome, engagement, and team factors with a focus on autonomy, reflexivity, and participation. The empirical part aims to test whether team autonomy, reflexivity, and participation together with burnout syndrome score or work engagement are significant predictors of burnout syndrome and engagement measured one year apart. The data used to test the stated hypotheses were obtained within the framework of the international H-WORK project, which conducted a field-based longitudinal study. The project was initiated in response to growing mental health problems in the working population in Europe. This paper uses data from two companies that underwent restructuring during the project. Because of this, there was a large drop out. The data in the research part, which was subjected to linear regression analysis, was collected from 59 respondents. The results did not support the stated hypotheses. This result may be influenced by several factors, such as the high experimental mortality already mentioned. Key words: mental health;...

The ecology of mental skills development in Canadian athletes: person-process-context-time
Štrajt, Martin ; Mudrák, Jiří (advisor) ; Jonáš, Juraj (referee)
This bachelor's thesis examines the development of mental skills in Canadian athletes. It does this by linking Urie Bronfenbrenner's Ecological Theory to the underlying themes of sport psychology. In the literature review section, chapters on motivation, specific mental strategies, talent perception, athlete development and education, and the Canadian context are developed in addition to the person-process-context-time model. The thesis offers various connections between the theories and emphasizes certain factors that most influence an athlete's personality and development. At the end of the theoretical section, an overview of several Canadian projects that influence the Canadian sport context is offered. The content of the practical section is qualitative research that examines the development of mental skills in Canadian university athletes. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and then evaluated through thematic analysis. The results of the research offer an overview of the themes related to motivation, the process of mental skills training and the associated role of sport psychology, followed by the characteristics and mind-set of the athletes, and finally the athlete's environment.

The questionnaire had six parts. Realizes analysis were performed on final sample 112 respondents. . Final sample consists of ice hockey players of categories U16 to U23. There was found statistically significant negative relationship between burnout syndrome and early specialization, (r (112) = -0,200; p = 0,034; 95 % CI [-0,015, -0,372]. That's mean highest score in Index of early specialization predict lower score of burnout. The results of analysis...

Perfectionism and eating disorders among professional ballet and contemporary dancers
Bartoš, Josef ; Štěrbová, Zuzana (advisor) ; Mudrák, Jiří (referee)
Compared to the general population, professional dancers are more prone to higher levels of perfectionism and a higher prevalence of eating disorders due to the high emphasis on the physical aspects of the individual. The aim of this thesis was to compare the prevalence and correlation of perfectionism, eating disorders and well-being in the genres of classical and contemporary dance. To this end, quantitative research was conducted on a sample of 109 probands (74 females, 35 males). Classical and contemporary dance probands did not differ significantly in perfectionism nor eating disorders. However, for the total sample (without distinguishing the genre), a moderate positive correlation (r = .32, p = <.001) was found between perfectionism and eating disorders and a weak negative correlation (r = -.23, p = .02) between perfectionism and well-being. The tested mediation model of the relationship between perfectionism and well-being mediated by eating disorders did not reach statistical significance (β = -.08, SE = .04, p = .43). Although no significant differences were found between the classical and contemporary dance groups, the correlations found are consistent with the results of previous research and suggest the importance of developing and applying prevention programs in the professional dance...

Štirská, Lucie ; Tichotová, Sylvie (advisor) ; Mudrák, Jiří (referee)
This bachelor's thesis examines the impact of anorexia nervosa in adolescents on family resilience, specifically its dynamics and development both during and after treatment. The thesis is divided into a literature review section and a practical section, which takes the form of a research proposal. The literature-review part contains three main chapters, which are mental anorexia, family resilience and the mutual influence of mental anorexia and family resilience. The chapter on anorexia nervosa includes diagnostic criteria, aetiology, risk factors and the relationship of the disease to family and family functioning. Family resilience defines its status from individual resilience and is described according to the FAAR model. The final part of the paper focuses on identifying patterns and factors that families build and apply to increase their level of resilience and suggests their development and application in treatment. The proposed research aims to monitor the development and dynamics of family resilience during and after treatment of a child with anorexia nervosa in selected families. It is a qualitative research conducted through semi-structured interviews that will be coded using the IPA (Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis) method. The motivation for the research is to improve and...

The thesis focuses on performance motivation and its connection to burnout syndrome among top athletes. We described the performance motivation in terms of 3 theories from which the goal of the work subsequently resulted. The aim of the work was to find out what is the relationship between the expressions of Burnout syndrome and motivation among top athletes. The data collection was conducted using a questionnaire survey including Sport motivation Scale (SMS), Athlete Burnout Questionnaire (ABQ), Perception of Success Questionnaire (POSQ) and Dweck Mindset Instrument (DMI). The research set consisted of 115 elite athletes (73 women and 42 men), with an age average of 22.4 years. Subsequently, the data were statistically evaluated and analyzed by Pearson correlation and regression analysis in the SPSS - 23 program. In the research part, 5 hypotheses were examined in turn. The Pearson correlation results showed statistically significant associations between intrinsic motivation (Intrinsic), task/competition orientation (Task) and ego (Ego) and Burnout syndrome. In addition, 3 predictors of Burnout syndrome were found, namely: Type of sport and kinds of motivation Intrinsic and Integrated. From practical perspective, the results may contribute to better understanding of Burnout syndrome and the...
