The meaning of the Little Red Riding Hood fairy tale for school-age children
Čechová, Vlasta ; Kučera, Miloš (referee) ; Klusák, Miroslav (advisor)
The topic of this thesis is focused on the meaning of the Little Red Riding Hood fairy tale for children of the primary school age. The core motive of the fairy tale is the threat of being swallowed up which every child would face if his wish to get rid of one of his parents in order to gain the affection of the parent of the opposite gender was fulfilled. Oedipus Complex is thus at the root of the fairy tale about a cute, innocent girl who is swallowed up by a wolf (Bettelheim, p. 162) and who allowed the wolf to swallow up her grand-mother. Coping with the theme of being swallowed up (e.g. the Oedipal Conflict) throughout the school years, the child psychosexual development is the subject of our analysis. In the sample of children studied, the tendency to choose the Little Red Riding Hood as a fairy tale of special personal importance decreases in inverse proportion to the child's age. This means that the older the pupils are the less likely they are to choose the Little Red Riding Hood fairy tale. The only exception was the second and sixth grade, where we can observe a significantly higher percentage of the pupils choosing the Little Red Riding Hood fairy tale. We suppose that the high proportion of the pupils choosing the Little Red Riding Hood fairy tale in the second grade resulted from sexual...

Psychology of love letters
Kuldová, Michaela ; Klusák, Miroslav (referee) ; Kučera, Miloš (advisor)
The thesis deals with love letters. They are approached from the point of relationship problems, communication pragmatics, and aesthetic literary writing. It is supposed that letters mediate contact between physically absent partners. Writers present solution of interpersonal questions in their letters, they think about their characters, abilities and appearance, they develop ideas about a partner. A feedback from a partner enables own self-cognition as well. Self-cognition manifests itself by means of stylization of a writer in letters. Stylization can be idealized in an effort to interest a partner at first. Hereafter, it enables sincerity and openness in an intimate relationship. Writers use a certain procedures or steps in order to achieve their intentions. These procedures are called communicative strategies and they manifest itself in the final version of a letter. Love letters are instrumental in creation of a relationship. Thus, they are written with the intention to please, endear, influence a partner, and eventually influence his/her attitudes. Therefore, writers attract attention to them and display themselves in the best way. They act on the basis of their own ideas concerning what could interest a partner and what is their stylization focused on. When considering a letter as a literary...

Signature of preschool children
Kociánová, Anna ; Kučera, Miloš (referee) ; Viktorová, Ida (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with signature of preschool age children. The theoretical part of the thesis attempted to answer the questions what a signature is and how it can be characterized. Personal name and script were established as two basic components of a signature and, consequently, these two phenomena were examined in detail, considered especially from the semiotic and linguistic standpoints. Signatures of preschool age children do not, however, fall within the typical categories. They differ from the cited definitions, they have some distinctive variables - unlike adults, children do not always use conventional letters and their reading of a signature depends on their particular theories about the function of the graphic symbols and the signature itself. Thus, this topic had to involve also the psychological point of view which examines closely child cognition. Three foreign theories on this subject were introduced, specifically the explorations of E. Ferreiro (1982), G. Hildreth (1936) and M. R. Honey (2002). All the studies consider developmental aspects of signature, its developmental continuity and some of them suggest further use of the acquired data for pedagogical and psychological purposes.

Accounts of knowledge: ageless features?
Poppová, Andrea ; Kučera, Miloš (advisor) ; Klusák, Miroslav (referee)
My dissertation is about friendship and its ageless features. Friendship is a close relationship most often between two people and is characteristic by - mutuality, intimacy: trust, need of closeness, sharing of experience, positive appreciation and unconditional acceptance. Thanks to mutuality are friends able to share various personal experiences, opinions and feelings. Thanks to deeper understanding of both individuals is possible to create functional and satisfying friendship. The friendship among people does exist for long centuries and I would like to show the difference between nowadays and the age of Aristoteles and his point of view. It is a comparison of present respondents, interviews and created map of terms to map of terms created from concept of Aristoteles. My work wants to show that friendship today is actually quite the same as many years ago in the time of Aristoteles. Of course with little changes especially in the area of free time and its spending. Many interesting facts have come from my interviews and they actually match those written by Aristoteles in his famous work Nicomachos' Ethics. After interviews I found out that friendship between respondents is understood like relationship between two people which is intimate-life and death friendship- and essential parts of friendship are...

The research group consisted of a group o f five subjects who entered the transit programme in 2003 and 2004. Data was collected until the end of 2005 when the transit programme was completed by the last of the five subjects. The data processing proceduře was inspired by the qualitative grounded theory of Strausse and Corbin (1999).

The Spirit of a Festival
Straka, Luděk ; Kučera, Miloš (advisor) ; Klusák, Miroslav (referee)
The theme of my thesis is the "A Detection of the Spirit of Pilgrimage". There is a pilgrimage in Europe, 1.500 km in length, which goes from the French town, Le Puy, to the Spanish town, Santiago de Compostela. The pilgrimage is widely known as "Camino de Santiago". My work focuses on exploring and finding the answer: What is the essence of pilgrimage? My work is divided into two parts; the first is theoretical, introducing the world of medieval pilgrimage from the very beginning to the present. The practical section consists of my own experience with the Camino, and the analysis based on the grounded theory. The thesis explains developement of the pilgrimage and the meaning of the Camino for cultural and religious life in Christian Europe, describes my own accomplished pilgrimage from Prague to Santiago de Compostela and deals with formation of a hypothesis based on the grounded theory. Keywords: pilgrimage, Camino de Santiago, grounded Tudory Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)
