Specific learning disabilities have undoubtedly impact on academic performance and overall results in the context of school education. Their influence is much wider and we can say that it provides individuals with a specific learning disabilities a negative personal and social consequences. I established the following two hypotheses: I suppose that a group of children with specific learning disabilities will be marked selfconcept lower compared to the control group. I suppose that a group of children with specific learning disabilities will be marked by impaired sociometric position in the classroom compared to the control group. In the theoretical part of the thesis is contained explanations of basic concepts related to learning disabilities. Individual chapters are devoted to specific disorders in general and specifically dyslexia, its causes, incidence, manifestations, and reeducation. The other specific learning disabilities are mentioned in addition to dyslexia. In the second half of the theoretical section, I focus on pupil with dyslexia and his subjective complaints, parents and teachers of pupil with dyslexia, and the consequences of school failure and dyslexia on the individual's life. Practical part of the thesis processes with the research conducted among 24 elementary school students. Research using a variety of test methods for evaluating the impacts and consequences of specific learning disabilities on student self-concept and sociometric position in the classroom.

The Relationship between Self-concept and Level of Perceived Stress in University Students
MAJDIČOVÁ, Petra
The thesis deals with the issue of self-concept and stress. Determination of theoretical links focuses on defining of basic concepts connected with this issue. University studies are considered a demanding and stressful situation that can cause a wide range of problems in some students. There are considerable interindividual differences in stress perception - the personality can either create various defense mechanisms against critical situations or can cope with them by means of constructive perception and actions. The objective of the empirical part was to find out what is the relationship between self-concept of students of Faculty of Health and Social Studies in České Budějovice and perception and living stressful situations connected with their university study. Information necessary for quantitative research was obtained by the method of questioning. The technique applied was a questionnaire, filled in by students of both daily and combined studies. The research showed that there exists a moderate dependence between these two variables, which means that low values of self-concept and self-esteem correspond with high values of stress perception. It was also revealed that stress perception is associated mostly with an examination or a public speech of a student. This fact indicates that a situation that is directly. Thus it would be appropriate for students to know different techniques of preventing and coping with stress and they could try to reduce the tension or to eliminate stress through these techniques. Adequate self-image or self-concept is an important condition for psychical balance and satisfaction with own life and thus I believe that professional psychological care within psychological counseling at universities can contribute to solving the problem.

The Meaning of Body Image in Marketing
Jarošová, Lucie ; Pešek, Ondřej (advisor) ; Zamazalová, Marcela (referee)
Každodenní život plný konzumu nám jasně dokládá sílící boj o zákazníka. V konkurenčním boji často vítězí ten, o kterém víme více a lépe. Z hlediska marketingové komunikace je nejvýraznějším prvkem reklama, která ovlivňuje naše spotřební chování prezentací lidí pohledných a štíhlých, jimž se koupí nejrozličnějších výrobků snažíme vyrovnat a docílit tak domnělého pocitu štěstí. Cílem této práce je pomocí obsahové analýzy stanovit nejfrekventovanější prvky body image, které se nejčastěji objevují v reklamách časopisu pro mladé dívky a následně zanalyzovat vazby mezi nimi. Definovat tedy nejčastěji prezentovaný tělesný ideál, s nímž že se tyto dívky, ať již vědomě či nikoli, konfrontují, a který výrazně vstupuje do jejich tělesného sebepojetí. Zjišťuji, že marketéři v naprosto alarmující míře využívají definice krásy prefabrikované kosmetickým, módním a dietním průmyslem, který je na hony vzdálen od běžné populace.

Child with specific learning disabilities in the family.
HUBKOVÁ, Iva
The bachelor thesis monitors the family contexts of specific learning disabilities (SLD). The theoretical part of the thesis describes the issue of SLD: kinds, symptoms and their effect on child{\crq}s development and socialization. Attention is also paid to the family and its function and its role in the context of the issue of SLD. Parental support and help are very time-consuming and very psychologically demanding and the whole family must cope with the situation. Both children and their parents need help and support in some periods. To know the answer to the following question is necessary for an adequate assistance provision: Which troubles do children and parents perceive as the most encumbering ones? My research should have given the answer to the question. The qualitative investigation in the design of entrenched theory was used for my research, which was done via semi-structured interviews. Those talks were held in six families and in each family were interviewed just one parent-in-charge and one adolescent. The depth of received information, revealed details and respondents{\crq} stories helped me understand the scope of the problem and guess the most encumbering topics. The interviews provided crucial information about lives of children affected by learning disabilities and their families; they also disclosed the fact that there are still prejudices and negative attitudes against children with learning disabilities in our society. The prejudices stem from the lack of information; they predetermine attitudes of schoolmates and teachers and they can also affect attitudes of families. The research results also disclosed the fact that it is necessary to extend the scale of help offered to children and also to parents. The results could provide information for some improvements in work with children under consultancy care and with their families. Furthermore, the results could be a source of information for families with children with SLD as well as for the general public.

JELÍNKOVÁ, Eva
The thesis deals with the problems of a young adult human being's self-concept from the psychological point of view. The influence of the social elements on the start in an adult life can be observed through individualism, consumerism and quality of life, which all affect the two most important parts of life ? the work and human relations. The main part of the thesis focuses on the self-concept issues of a young adult in correlation to the (dis)satisfaction in the social roles as all the roles include various expectations. The dissatisfaction can be caused by preferring the ideal "myself" which is not in accordance with the actual requirements of the social environment. This can have a negative impact on the self-concept and individual's functioning within the community and society. The individual turns his attention to the social worker when having self-concept problems that might result in mental difficulties. The theoretical starting points are applied to some particular areas of the social work (social work with the young adults, social work with families, marital and family consultancy).
