Elder abuse and neglect
Haluzíková, Lenka ; Šulová, Lenka (advisor) ; Slaměník, Ivan (referee)
This thesis deals with the subject of elder abuse and neglect (EAN). The author in her theoretical part presents all sorts of aspects of the EAN phenomenon which is broadly interdisciplinary and whose definition and prevalence were not assessed yet. It describes exposures of single types of EAN and symptoms, whose knowledge is necessary for effective detection of particular cases of EAN. Hitherto most of the cases stay concealed because the victims tend to hide the abuse and simultaneously neither the community of specialists nor non-specialists have sufficient awareness about the problem in order to perceive it. In this course an education of the public is crucial but also the author deems necessary to change the attitude of all-society towards the elder people which at the present time seems quite discriminatory. Farther the author attends to a victim and an offender of EAN and their interaction, in this respect she presents risk factors and searches for potential causations of abuse. Detailed knowledge of these causations is crucial for suitable aiming of prevention. For a complex intervention of EAN would be ideal to create multidisciplinary teams of different specialists. But such teams are rather exception worldwide. Among these specialists a psychologist should be present as he can play an important...

Nováková, Milena ; Slaměník, Ivan (advisor) ; Morávková Krejčová, Lenka (referee)
This diploma thesis deals with the question of identity in adolescence and is aimed to the specificity of adolescents' identity in the Czech Republic.

Statistical analysis showed significant correlation between the factors of attachment (Anxiety and Avoidance) and relationship satisfaction. The strongest correlation was found between satisfaction and anxiety.

The development of television advertising in terms of its influence on the formation of gender roles - comparative analysis
Trézová, Lucia ; Rymeš, Milan (referee) ; Slaměník, Ivan (referee)
Muži a ženy sa od seba líšia. Inak vyzerajú, inak sa správajú, iné hodnoty a ciele v živote preferujú. Tieto odlišnosti denno-denne vnímame bez toho, aby sme im venovali pozornosť, aby sme sa nad nimi zamýšľali, berieme ich ako samozrejmosť. V našej práci sa preto pozrieme na mužsko-ženské diferencie z odlišného uhla pohľadu, resp. budeme sa snažiť spochybniť a preskúmať niektoré ako "prirodzenosť" prijímané fakty a skutočnosti, týkajúce sa roly muža a roly ženy. Pre tento účel zavedieme termín, prehratý z feministickej psychológie pojem - gender. Vysvetlíme jeho obsah, sposob a účel, pre ktorý vznikol. Objasníme termíny s ním súvisiace - gender rola a gender identita. Je nespochybniteľné, že sposob, akým sú utvárané naše životy, závisí okrem dedičnosti vo veľkej miere od vplyvu prostredia, v ktorom vyrastáme. Tieto vplyvy sa neobmedzujú iba na bezprostredné okolie, kľúčovú rolu hrá spoločnosť, kultúra, do ktorej sa narodíme, ktorej sa stávame členmi. Tá vytvára rámec, na pozadí ktorého prebieha naše včleňovanie sa do nej - naša socializácia. Spoločnosť a jej inštitúcie, kultúrne vzorce správania, spoločenské roly, ktoré predpisuje, vnímame počnúc dňom nášho narodenia. Sprostredkúvajú nám ich spočiatku naši rodičia, neskor vstupujeme do čoraz širších spoločenských vzťahov. Učia nás, čo je správne, čo je...

Psychological aspects of police public order unit intervention
Jungwirtová, Jana ; Slaměník, Ivan (advisor) ; Spurný, Matěj (referee)
Public order unit interventions have specific psychological aspects which may contain stress situations, potential aggressive behaviour and emergence of conflicts. Public order units are deployed in cases of disruption of the public order due to presence of large amounts of people (a frequent cause of the problems is crowd behaviour). It is essential to know which surrounding events go along with these challenging interventions, how policemen perceive their training for these interventions, what advantages and disadvantages they see about their employment in the public order unit, how they approach attendants of mass actions, and what they think about the causes of aggressive behaviour of policemen (which is generally considered to be inappropriate). Photographs from training and statements from real interventions are a good testimony of the experience of policemen, that was gained through the method of focus groups. It is also necessary to to take into account other research done in this area, for instance research carried out by the Police Academy of the Czech Republic through the last few years.

Intrinsic religiosity practice. Psychological aspects of intrisic religiosity of Catholic mothers
Bartáková, Vladislava ; Slaměník, Ivan (advisor) ; Muchová, Ludmila (referee) ; Tavel, Peter (referee)
INTRINSIC RELIGIOSITY PRACTICE Psychological aspects of intrinsic religiosity of Catholic women - mothers of small children. Key words: Intrinsic religiosity, Prayer, Spirituality of an Everyday Life, Motherhood, Catholic Faith, Identity, Narrative Analysis Secularisation of the current post-modern Europe represents a collapse of Christianity in the sense of an integrating power of the society; however, it does not mean extinction of Christianity as such. The largest European church has been responding to the changes in the post-modern society by moving the emphasis from Catholicism (institutionally - as a doctrine attitude of the church) to Catholicity (openness and universal attitude of the church). Despite this inner movement, the Roman Catholic Church is losing numbers of their members and frequently it does not satisfactorily address, among the competition in the 'religious market', agnostics or even the 'searching' ones. From another point of view, however, it is obvious that for many people it still remains a 'home' in which they develop their faith as an individual expression of existential needs. The symbolic universe of the traditional Catholic religion provides these people with factual as well as symbolic tools to develop spirituality. Significant changes in religiousness and...
