Experiencing positive emotions in middle age
Halčáková, Bára ; Poláčková Šolcová, Iva (advisor) ; Lindová, Jitka (referee)
When middle age is mentioned, most individuals immediately associate this period with the proverbial term: ,,midlife crisis." Mostly, this life phase is associated with a psychological crisis, which happens on the basis of acceptance of the irreversibility of the shortening of time, acceptance of the aging process, and the like. When experts deal with this concept, they mainly deal with the negative aspects that make this stage of life so famous. In this thesis, I look at middle age from the opposite angle. I aspire to find the positive aspects of middle age. I focus primarily on affective components reflecting the ongoing evaluation of an individual's moods and emotions.

Communication patters in conflicts of romantic couples with anxious and non-anxious attachment style
Kuldová, Adéla ; Lindová, Jitka (advisor) ; Bártová, Klára (referee)
Meaningful and fulfilling relationships are one of the essential pillars of human satisfaction. However, maintaining close relationships takes considerable effort and cannot be done without mutual communication, of which conflict resolution is an integral part. Each individual has a distinctive communication style, which is linked to a form of attachment formed in early childhood. However, the area of anxious attachment and communication patterns is not sufficiently researched. The intention of this research is to observe the communication patterns of partners with anxious attachment during a conflict situation. Only four communication patterns appear in the literature - cycling negativity, demand-withdraw, mutual avoidance, and constructive communication. Although the topic of partner communication is very broad, negative communication patterns in partners with an anxiety profile have been denied attention. My aim is to a) examine whether previously undescribed communication patterns occur during conflict resolution, and b) describe what these communication patterns are.
