Bělohradská, Michaela ; Sedláčková, Markéta (advisor) ; Sládek, Jan (referee)
In order to better understand the usage of peer-to-peer accommodation, the thesis examines factors of satisfaction with and repeated use of this accommodation option. An additional research purpose of this thesis is to explore, what factors are affecting the attitude of users of peer-to-peer accommodation to the sharing economy. Research sample (N = 129) is constituted of users of Couchsurfing who were specified into next stratified systematic selection on the basis of their availability through search engine of hosts, their residence in Prague, Czech language and activity on their user profile within the last six months. On the basis of the relevant theoretical framework a questionnaire and research model were created. Consequent analysis of data from a quantitative online survey was conducted using regression analysis. The results reveal that the perceived environmental frugality contributes most to the probability of the re- use of peer-to-peer accommodation, and it is also influential in context of attitude. The findings also refer to the environmental frugality, joy of helping others, and economic savings as factors positively influencing users' satisfaction with peer-to-peer accommodation.

Transmition of generalized trust
Klusáček, Jan ; Hamplová, Dana (advisor) ; Sedláčková, Markéta (referee)
The thesis deals with the inter-generational transmission of generalized trust. The generalized trust (as an optimistic attitude toward interaction with unknown people) is known as an important component of social capital and as a requirement of a functioning society. The starting point is the cultural view of the trust as the moral norm with deep historical roots, according to these theories we are learning to trust in early childhood from our parents. The motivation for the creation of the thesis is an absence of recent studies and studies from post-socialist countries on the topic of transmission of trust from parents to children. The cultural theories of generalized trust are assuming intergenerational transmission of trust largely without empirical evidence. The proving of trust socialization could provide an insight into the stability of attitude over time and space. The data from the first wave of The Czech Household Panel Survey from 2015 was used to analyse the connection between the children's generalized trust and the parents' generalized trust. The relationship between children's and parents' generalized trust was discovered. The hypothesis suggesting a stronger influence of the mother on the child's trust than the influence of the father was not confirmed. The children of...

Children patient's satisfaction and ways of its improvement: a case study
Martinová, Michaela ; Hamplová, Dana (advisor) ; Sedláčková, Markéta (referee)
(in English): The aim of this diploma thesis was an integrated analysis of satisfaction for pediatric patients aged 14 - 19 years at the Faculty Hospital Brno, which created a basic pattern of variables for a further investigation of satisfaction of adolescent patients in hospitals and other healthcare facilities. Simultaneously, the work focused on recommendations of how to improve the satisfaction of patients in A & E (accident and emergency) and internal departments. In the Czech Republic there are several different studies that deal with the satisfaction element, which are ordered by medical facilities, so they can improve the satisfaction of their patients, based on the results. Satisfaction surveys of pediatric patients are not yet common, as the international standardisation is still in progress. Investigative study of the published articles on various research was undertaken for the theoretical basis of this study. The results gained from the study can be used as a base in further evaluations of pediatric patients satisfaction in health institutions. The thesis also recommends to the Faculty Hospital Brno how to increase pediatric patients satisfaction in the future. The research of satisfaction of patients in the pediatric department of the Faculty Hospital Brno showed that the dependent...

Non-voters in elections to Chamber of Deputies of the Czech Republic 2013 and their motivation to electoral absence
Nováková, Eliška ; Vinopal, Jiří (advisor) ; Sedláčková, Markéta (referee)
The issue of this thesis is to chart the motivations of non-voters for not attending the election to the Chamber of Deputies of the Czech Republic. This election had the second lowest turnout in the history of the Czech Republic in this type of election which is considered by the citizens to be the most important type of election. A decreasing turnout can be a threat to a proper functioning of democracy. In the theoretical part of the paper, the theory of functioning democracy and the theory explaining the decreasing turnout are introduced. According to several studies, there is a difference between younger and older generation, so I decided to explore this difference. Therefore, fifteen semi-structured interviews with non-voters have been conducted to detect the cause of this situation. Collected sample contains nine younger non-voters and six older ones. The data were analyzed according to the rules of grounded theory. The product of this analysis is a typology of non-voters and their main motivations for non-voting and a scheme of participating factors. The result of the analysis suggests that there is a difference between younger and older generation. Keywords: Non-voters, election behavior, politics, motivations

Role of trust in a democratic system
Sedláčková, Markéta ; Šubrt, Jiří (advisor) ; Marada, Radim (referee) ; Perottino, Michel (referee)
The need to understand the ongoing process of democratization has led to the revival of interest in the topics such as legitimacy of the democratic regimes, the creation of political culture and inevitably also in the question of the role of trust in these processes. These topics will be closely examined in this work. In the first - theoretical - section we introduce the evolution of the concept of trust, its various definitions and categorization. The concept of social capital, which is often linked to the to pic of trust, will be also addressed in this chapter. A special attention will be paid to the paradigm of so-called collective social capital (Putnam, Halpem, Fukuyama), which focuses on the relationship oftrust and democracy. The second part of the thesis maps theoretical work on trust and democracy, paying special attention to the arguments of culturalists and institucionalists. When we talk of the role that trust plays in a given democratic system, we use three basic channels of their relationship: legitimacy, social trust and trust in institutions. Legitimacy in a given govemment and its institutions - a form of systemic trust - is considered to be the key founding block of the democratic system. Based on divergent theories we continue the debate to what extent, and if at all, is legitimacy...

Connection between natural disasters and social trust
Arshinnikova, Vera ; Sedláčková, Markéta (advisor) ; Skovajsa, Marek (referee)
This work deals with the social impact of natural disasters in the form of changes in the level of generalized trust. First, I formulate the theoretical basis of the analysis and conclude that the change in the level of social trust is an adaptive response to the newly emerged risks. Furthermore, I formulate my own theory of change and continuity of attitudes after a natural disaster based on the role of the level of trust before the disaster. Following a natural disaster, there may be more conformity on the part of individuals whose level of trust differs from that of the majority. I also identify other intervening variables that can influence a given relationship, including by analyzing a special case - the Tohoku earthquake in Japan where, I take into account country's cultural context. I hypothesize that the temporary decline in social trust after the disaster occurred because of the technogenic disaster in Fukushima. Keywords: social trust, natural disaster, risk management, community, Japan

Chronotype, daily regime and its relationship with socio-demographic characteristics and life style
Cápíková, Markéta ; Sumová, Alena (advisor) ; Sedláčková, Markéta (referee)
This diploma thesis focuses of czech population's description from the perspective of chronotype and its relationship to sociodemographic characteristics and to variables affecting lifestyle. The aim of this thesis is to describe the sample examined in terms of social jetlag. The thesis is based mainly on quantitative methods, specifically I was using individual forms of regression analyzes, which allow to capture the influence of independent variables on the dependent variable. The analytical part data from Qualitas 2016 survey within the AV21 Strategy project are processed. The analysis revealed the existence of an association between chronotype and gender, respectively between chronotype and age. It also turned out that extreme owls consume addictive substances to a greater extent than extreme larks. Owls also generally have higher BMI, lower psychological well-being and more often suffer from social jetlag than those with early circadian preference. However, the social jetlag does not only concern respondents with late circadian preference, but the whole sample analyzed. The average length of social jetlag in the sample is 66 minutes. The analysis also revealed the link between social jetlag and addictive substance abuse.
