Influence of Computer Games on Aggressive Behaviour of the Pupils of the Older School Age
Zavadilová, Petra ; Kučírek, Jiří (advisor) ; Hanušová, Jaroslava (referee)
The diploma work focuses on a topic which is often discussed in the Czech Republic as well as worldwide. The topic in question is the influence of computer games with elements of aggression and violence on aggressive behaviour of teenagers. The work consists of two parts - a theoretical and an empirical one. The theoretical part has four chapters dealing with theoretical knowledge on the subject. In the empirical part the qualitative research strategy was used - questionnaire method and semi structured interview. The research sample consisted of five pupils from the 9th grade of an elementary school. The main aim of the diploma work will be to establish the subjective perception of the influence of computer games with elements of aggression and violence on aggressive behaviour of pupils of older school age. The secondary aim will be establishing the attitudes of the pupils of older school age to violent and aggressive scenes in computer games and mapping the intrusion of computer games into everyday life of pupils from the point of view of computer games preferences and the time they spend playing computer games during the day. Qualitative research showed that four out of five respondents really subjectively feel that computer games with elements of violence and aggression strengthen their...

Psychological aspects of preventing pathological relationships, aggressive behavior and bullying among children's groups
Nebáznivá, Barbora ; Čáp, David (advisor) ; Uholyeva, Xenie (referee)
This thesis focuses on prevention of pathological relationships, aggressive behaviour and bullying among children's groups. The aim of this thesis is to map the theoretical phenomena related to prevention of this pathology. The thesis consists of two key areas- theoretical and empirical. The theoretical part defines the concepts used by the author within the text, summarizes and describes in the risk factors associated with the development of pathological relationships, aggressive behaviour and bullying and also describes the impact of these pathologies on its protagonists. The largest part is devoted to the possibilities and methods of prevention and the factors that affect it. Prevention is divided according to the environment (prevention in the family, at school and in leisure activities of children). In the final chapter of the theoretical part, the author focuses on selected specific primary prevention programs, which are described, analyzed and assessed for their effectiveness. The empirical part of the thesis consists of a research proposal, which is aimed at examining the relation between efficiency of selected prevention programs and the attitudes towards these programs and violence and bullying in general that are taken and expressed by teachers. Keywords: Bullying, peer victimization,...

Hormonal control of aggressive behaviour in lizards
Rauner, Petr ; Kratochvíl, Lukáš (advisor) ; Gregorovičová, Martina (referee)
Aggression is a highly functional form of social behaviour, which can be observed in nearly all species of vertebrates including lizards. There are many forms of aggressive behaviour and there is very significant difference in the physiological basis among them. The main and best understood hormone affecting aggression, is testosterone, but there exists evidence that some aggressive behaviour can be influenced by other hormones as well for example by progesterone, estradiol and corticosterone. The effect of these hormones on the organism is traditionally divided into the activation and organizational effects. Organizational effects are permanent and occur usually in the earlier stages of development. Activation effects are temporary and occur during the entire life. Elevated testosterone levels usually stimulate aggressive behaviour in both males and females. Progesterone and estradiol affect aggressive behaviour similarly but less effective. It is uncertain whether their effects are direct, or whether they are only a side-effect of testosterone, which is a precursor of estradiol and which has progesterone as own precursor. Corticosterone affects aggressive behaviour indirectly by influencing levels of testosterone. Hormonal influence on aggression in lizards is not the sole factor, but it depends on...

Ability of social workers and workers in social care system to deal with agressivness in clients with serious mental handicap
VLACHOVÁ, Lucie
Aggression and aggressive behaviour of clients is a common part of life in a social facility. Employees are trained to cope with inappropriate behaviour of clients and often have to deal with really awkward situations and have to try hard to prevent the increase of frequency of such behaviour. This issue is really topical and it is necessary to say that the employees do not always cope with the situation in a way that would pose minimum harm to both the client and the social worker. In the introduction I dealt with clarification of types of mental retardation, I looked in detail at its degrees according to international classification of diseases. I also mentioned most frequent associated diseases and types of services and facilities that are available to people with disabilities. I would like to provide a reader of the thesis with a complex overview of this issue and thus I deal not only with basic concepts that relate to the topic (mental retardation, autism, social worker or facilities of social care), but I also try to uncover it and bring it closer to wider range of personnel in social services. Quantitative methods of data gathering were applied for the thesis. I used a quantitative questionnaire in a printed form to obtain the data. The data showed that all 42 respondents (100%) experienced at least once in their life aggressive behaviour of their clients. At a time when a client behaved aggressively, to divert his attention to an alternative activity helped in most cases to cope with the situation. Alternatively, to calm down the client verbally or to use verbal calming down in combination with grip techniques also helped. The objective of the thesis was to clarify causes of aggressive behaviour of a client with heavy mental retardation, to mention some triggers of this behaviour and to focus on particular methods used by workers in social services ? both on systematic work with an individual or in a group, or on grip techniques. If client?s elementary needs are fully met ? the workers are regularly trained and follow a structured regime that is really beneficial for a client with heavy mental retardation ? the frequency of aggressive behaviour is significantly lower.

Dominance hierarchy in the male group of ruffed lemurs (\kur{Varecia} spp.) in the Ostrava ZOO
STEHLÍKOVÁ, Jitka
This study investigates a dominance hierarchy in a male group of ruffed lemurs (Varecia spp.). I introduce a new method of data processing in unstable and inconsistent dominance hierarchy. Data were collected in the Ostrava ZOO during 30 days in the summer of 2009 and 28 days in the of winter 2010. The results demonstrate unusual structure in the sequences of agonistic interactions. The lemur group exhibited unstable and inconsistent dominance hierarchy with a low level of linearity. It appears that dominance hierarchy in ruffed lemurs is based on their social role in the family group and not on agonistic interactions.

Influence of broadcasting on Aggressive Behaviour of Younger School-Aged Children
RAJNOVÁ, Zuzana
The thesis is aimed at influence of broadcasting on the level of aggressive behaviour of younger school-aged children. The basic concepts are explained in general terms; the basic way aggressive behaviour and mass media can be divided is given; psyche of a younger school-aged child is explained; television violence, its forms and both negative and positive effects and health consequences of excessive television-watching are described and prevention of adverse ffects of TV programmes on children is suggested in the theoretical part of thesis. Upon the theoretical knowledge gained, three research questions were stated in the thesis and in order to verify them a field research among younger school-aged children and their parents was carried out and, further, TV programmes most watched by children were analysed. The research results are presented in an appendix to the thesis.
