Ševčíková, Juliana ; Slaměník, Ivan (referee) ; Štětovská, Iva (referee)
Emotionality as an inevitable part of psychic processes of a man is an important variable in everyday social interactions. Formal work environment and the context of leadership influence behavior of people in connection with specific features typical for individual social roles.

The research on emotionality specifics of individual groups in relation to their gender and work position was carried out on the sample of 259 leading and non-leading employees. The results confirmed a possible relation of various modality of emotional manifestation to gender and leadership, as well as persistent perception of leadership role as a masculine one. There is a question emerging whether a professional role impact is transferred into private areas of leaders' life and to what extent are the changes - which may this social role contribute to - permanent in time. Key words: Leadership. Leader. Non-leader. Emotionality. Social role. Gender. Gender stereotypes.

Psychological aspects of long-distance relationships
Drahoňovská, Barbara ; Šulová, Lenka (advisor) ; Štětovská, Iva (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to examine the phenomenon of long-distance relationships, more specifically in married and unmarried couples, and to thereby contribute to the understanding of this specific type of relationship. The complexities which characterise partner interaction, resp. the individuals leading a long-distance relationship, are captured in this thesis in two ways: based on the acquaintance with the existing findings from world studies, and with the help of interviews with people who have direct experience with longdistance relationships. The interview method used enables us to look at long-distance relationships from the point of view of specific couples, resp. the individuals comprising the couples, and to thereby identify the related psychological aspects.
