Computerized adaptive testing and its use in psychodiagnostic
Dlouhá, Jana ; Bahbouh, Radvan (advisor) ; Niederlová, Markéta (referee)
5 Abstract The theoretical part of the paper focuses on computerized adaptive testing (CAT) and item response theory (IRT). Also included is a chapter comparing IRT with the commonly used classical test theory (CTT). There is also a brief mention of computerized and online testing, as these types of administration differ in many aspects from conventional paper & pencil tests. The goal of this paper was to evaluate the individual ways of eEPI test administration and to compare them with eEPQ tests and self-evaluation. In the practical part the items of the extraversion scale of the Eysenck Personality Inventory (eEPI) were calibrated using a group of 124 respondents. The acquired data were subsequently used to carry out a simulation of computerized adaptive testing, which clearly demonstrated the benefits of this type of testing in comparison to the classical test form. These results were compared with the results of real CAT test administration using the original sample and a new group of respondents (Np=69, Nn=68). The results were highly correlated with the results of the simulated test. Moreover, to verify the validity of the computerized adaptive version of eEOD, the respondents' results in this test were compared with the results in the eEPQ test and in a short self-assessment scale. Finally,...

Improving the forecasting ability as a means to improve institutional decision-making
Havlíčková, Viktorie ; Vranka, Marek (advisor) ; Dlouhá, Jana (referee)
The topic of the systematic improvement of decision-making that takes place in institutions is a relatively new area of psychological interest with a potentially large impact. One possible approach to address this issue is to improve the probability predictions made by decision-makers within institutions. Research shows that one way to do this is through training focused on improving judgment and reducing cognitive bias. This work tries to summarize the existing literature on the topic of forecasting, cognitive bias and their improvement. Part of the work is also the design of a research project, which aims to verify the effectiveness of training on the accuracy of individual predictions in the environment of real institutions.

The thesis offers an introduction to selected perspectives of human on nature in its history. There is described a relationship between man and nature, from a psychological point of view, clarified the term "alienation" or "alienating nature" and listed the expected consequences of this alienation.

A comparison of the results of the research also showed that...
