Depression as an escape from burden of life: Analysis of interviews
Bartošková, Magda ; Chrz, Vladimír (advisor) ; Klusák, Miroslav (referee)
In this paper I will be mapping an inner world of thought and experience lived by individuals suffering from depression. Based on differently experienced narratives I will try to reveal common features, which could help with better understanding "depressive mode of life experience". Research took place in Prague Psychiatric Centre. It consisted of narrative analysis of four 90 minute long autobiogaphic interviews. Four respondents were of both sexes and 17 - 59 years old. In these interviews was emphasized formation of structure in their life narrative. The result of this analysis was formlation of theory of Depressive mode of organizing the experience. This theory is expanded with mode of escape mechanism describing tightening of depletion of external purpose loop and causal mechanism of reluctance to pursue introspection, which leads to deficit of authorship and need for understanding and acting other, who would compensate described deficit. These models have been compared with other theories and research of C. G. Jung and Erich Fromm. Ideas of both authors complete each other and expand findings of this research.

Positive aspects of depressive disorder on social cognition
Beránková, Justýna ; Preiss, Marek (advisor) ; Bartošková, Magda (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to present an unusual view on depressive disorder from the perspective of evolutionary psychologists. Recent studies which are engaged in a positive impact of sad mood and depressive disorder on social cognition are presented. These studies are followed by our own quantitative research. Research group of patients with primary diagnosis of depression (n = 41) and control group (n = 41) were examined by Montgomery and Åsberg Depression Rating Scale, Beck Depression Inventory, Schwartz scale and two original methods, that were created for the purpose of this research. Methods include two videotapes - True or False and Speed Dating which focus on the ability of participants to estimate the given social situation. There was no statistically significant difference between the research and the control group in tasks focused on social cognition. The performance of both groups is comparable.

Positive aspects of depression
Halmlová, Martina ; Preiss, Marek (advisor) ; Bartošková, Magda (referee)
This thesis describes an evolutionary theory of depression and related Rumination hypothesis. This hypothesis suggests that depression can have a positive effect on cognition and can lead to an analytical style of thinking that is useful for problem solving. To confirm the hypothesis, this thesis is using tasks focused on sequential decision making called secretary's problem. Thus, the work examines the hypothesis that depressed respondents perform better in the task than healthy respondents. Partial results of the whole study analyzed in this thesis show that the hypothesis could not be confirmed, which the author justifies in the debate and confronts these findings with the results of similar research.

HAPPYneuron Programme Efectivity
Kopecká, Martina ; Preiss, Marek (advisor) ; Bartošková, Magda (referee)
The HAPPYneuron Programme Effectivity The bachelor thesis is designed as a research project. This research tries to explore the effectivity of computer cognitive stimulation programme. The Basic School pupils (located in Pilsen region) participated this research, they had been training this programme for six months. The aim of this research project is a verification of effectivity of cognitive computer programme stimulation (it can cause the school results improvement, daily life activities and relationship with parents). The thesis is divided into two main parts - theoretical and empirical. The theoretical part deals with the main trends and researchs in this area. The empirical part describes the aim of the research project, research questions, the metodology, data collection etc. Data for this research were collected from parents and teacher before and after the training. The results were not statistically significant and we can not confirm the effectivity of this programme of cognitive stimulation. The Canadian ADHD Resource Alliance scales (the translations to Czech langure) are the indivisible part of this thesis. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)
