CSR personality types – inspired by ecology
Lukavský, Jiří
The article introduces a novel personality typology inspired by the classification of plant strategies by Grime. It describes the original C-S-R typology and derives a similar classification of humans. The psychological analogy of C-S-R typology is based on differences in motivation, goal-selection, aspiration and persistance. The analogy enables generalization on other systems with significant competition factor e.g. in sociology or economy.

Age differencies in five personality dimensions
Hřebíčková, Martina
This contribution is concerned with the age differences in five personality traits (Neuroticism, Extraversion, Openness to experience, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness). Similar patterns of age differences were seen in many cultures. Younger people score higher on Neuroticism, Extraversion and Openness, whereas the older people score higher on Agreeableness and Conscientiousness. In the contribution data from self-reports and informant ratings on the Czech version of the Revised NEO Personality Inventory (NEO-PI-R) are presented. Results were compared with relevant data from other countries. The possible interpretations of age differences are mentioned (e.g. from the perspective of the Five-Factor Theory or evolutionary approach to personality).

Narrative Memory
Čermák, Ivo
The paper is focused on relations between an autobiographical memory and a narrative self. The author explains how narrative reasoning configures and refigures our incoherent experience, how it constructs language and order of the story, how this kind of reasoning helps to create meaning of the life-story events. He tentatatively conceptualizes a narrative memory and narrative memories which form and content enables this memories to be retrieved as a story or its sequences. The story-telling is conceived as an act of imagination, which is necessarily involved in the process of personal identity construction. Autobiographical and narrative memory is precondition of this process. The study is also an attempt to differ narrative and autobiographical memory.
