Cognitive development support of adolescents in the family and school environment
Šíchová, Andrea ; Morávková Krejčová, Lenka (advisor) ; Rázgová, Lenka (referee)
The thesis introduces a theme of cognitive development support of adolescents in the school and family environment. The first part defines the age group of adolescents which is described with particular emphasis on cognitive abilities. The following section explains the basic prerequisite for the development of cognitive abilities, about the theory of structural cognitive modifiability. The second part describes selected methods of cognitive development promotion. It includes approaches used by general population of adolescents, i.e. Philosophy for children and Building learning power. Furthermore, Feuerstein Instrumental enrichment program and the model of conceptual learning are discussed in the chapter devoted to methods used with individuals with cognitive deficits. The work also discusses a possible use of ICT as a tool for cognitive development. This section presents the application Tablexia, training of cognitive abilities designed for adolescents with dyslexia. The practical part of the work suggests a research design, which would verify the effectiveness of Tablexia in promoting cognitive development of adolescents with dyslexia. Keywords: Adolescence, cognitive modifiability, methods of cognitive development, ICT in education, Tablexia

Psychological aspects of radicalisation
Šíchová, Andrea ; Boukalová, Hedvika (advisor) ; Vranka, Marek (referee)
The goal of this thesis is a deeper exploration of the phenomenon of violent radicalization and its causes in the prison population in the Czech environment. The theoretical part summarizes current knowledge about the possible causes of radicalization and current issues concerning radicalization around the world and in the Czech Republic. Furthermore, the specifics of prison radicalization and possible ways of deradicalization, including examples of good practice, are outlined. The empirical part attempts to map the characteristics of individuals in potential risk of radicalization in the environment of Czech prisons. The examined sample of 67 people is composed only of men and their average age is 34 years. Nearly half of the cases involves right-wing radicalization, in one third of cases individual non-specific radicalization is identified, and Islamic and left-wing radicalization is represented in low percentage of cases. In the sample, we can observe a high rate of unemployment, previous criminality, low level of education, childhood behavioral problems, under-average intellect, increased aggression, or impulsivity. Dissociative personality, identity problems, or mental health issues are also very common. The second part of the research aims at evaluating professional preparedness of the prison...

Socioeconomic status and health
Urbancová, Alexandra ; Štětovská, Iva (advisor) ; Šíchová, Andrea (referee)
This work focuses on the relationship between the socio-economic status of man and his health. The first and second chapters are devoted to understanding these concepts and naming the most widely used definitions and approaches, the third chapter follows by putting a perspective on the relationship between these two phenomena, namely the health-related causality to socio- economic status and the causality from socio-economic status to health. The fourth chapter elaborates on the possible explanations of the mediation of the relationship between health and socio-economic status. A separate part is devoted to the psychosocial cause of health differences based on SES and the social distribution of stress. The practical part presents a proposal of research of the relationship between the achieved level of education, financial income and their combination and subjective evaluation of health of inhabitants of the Slovak Republic, conceptually anchored in the work of Slovak authors. The aim is to continue exploring health inequalities in the country. Keywords: Socio-economic status, health, causes of health inequalities, subjective perception of health

Methods for specific credibility analysis of statement
Józsová, Kristýna ; Boukalová, Hedvika (advisor) ; Šíchová, Andrea (referee)
This bachelor thesis is about one of the most important phenomen in forensic psychology, which is the credibility of witness statement. This thesis puts emphasis on methods currently used for verifying statement crediblity. Theoretical part first deals with a definition of credibility and its division on common and specific credibility. Then it deals with nonverbal and verbal methods, which it distinguishes into four used methods, specifically SVA, SCAN, RM and MASAM. Empirical part aims on three methods, specifically SVA (only CBCA part is used), SCAN and relatively new method MASAM. Main goal of the research is to find out the probability, that the assessors correctly rate credibility of the witness testimony while using these methods and compare the results. Next aim of study is to compare results between assessors using these methods to those who use only their subjective impression. The component of the research is qualitative collection of criteria used by assessors in their evaluations. Keywords Credibility, verbal methods, nonverbal methods, judgement criteria
