Aggression and self-esteem
Fleischmann, Otakar ; Hadj - Moussová, Zuzana (advisor) ; Duplinský, Josef (referee) ; Langrová, Jana (referee)
In the research we focus on problems of self-esteem and aggress. The aim was to discover and describe if by university students an important relation between self-esteem and aggress exists, if there are some differences in self-esteem and aggress between women and men and individuals with pedagogical and non-pedagogical professional polarization. The self-esteem was followed on different levels- general, low, medium and high level as well as aggress levels. Besides general aggress we followed the relation of self-esteem towards physical aggress, verbal aggress, hostility and anger. The results confirmed among others the presumption about relation between self-esteem a'id aggress, especially between self-esteem and hostility. The results of the research also subsidize the presumption about an existence of significant difference between women and men in self-esteem and aggress, they do not subsidize the presumption of difference between groups with pedagogical and non- pedagogical professional polarization in self-esteem and aggress.

The influence of school on pupils with hearing impairment
Kratochvílová, Kristina ; Duplinský, Josef (referee) ; Hadj - Moussová, Zuzana (advisor)
A change of a school and its influence on pupils with grave hearing impairment is the topic of this thesis. For these pupils, a transfer to a different kind of school (i.e. from an ordinary to a specialized one or vice versa) can be a source of serious consequences influencing their entire personality. Many things differ at these schools - the environment, the type of communication, the classmates. A child that is integrated to an ordinary school is usually the only hard-of-hearing pupil in the school. On the contrary, all the students at a specialised school are similar and the teachers are experienced in treatment of such children. Specific needs of disabled students are met in communication and the whole process of education. The disadvantage of these schools is that they are only in big towns and children from distant villages and towns are often at a boarding house during the week. The aim of this thesis is to describe how a change of school was retrospectively perceived by those who had experienced it themselves. I have focused especially on the following areas: how the respondents went through the change of a school, how they felt at both schools and how the change has influenced their identity.

Pupils' causal attributions after success and failure
Kocmanová, Lucie ; Pavelková, Isabella (advisor) ; Duplinský, Josef (referee)
The topic of this dissertation is the attribution tendencies of secondary school students in situations of success or failure. The process of attributing causes was examined by inquiring into past experience (attribution in the past) in the context of students' school activities. Grades were chosen as the criterion of success and failure. Attribution tendencies were examined in all subjects taught at the secondary school. Attitudes to individual subjects were sought to constitute specific attitude constellations and the attribution tendencies ot students were re-examined in these constellations. The study also partly focused on teachers. We wanted to know their views on the possible causes of success or failure of the students they taught.
