Validity of drawing as a projective test
Matoušková, Tereza ; Klusák, Miroslav (advisor) ; Křížová, Ivana (referee)
Validity of drawing as a projective test The subject of this work is to investigate the relationship between a projective method, I specifically chose the Tree Test, and the Personality Questionnaire MMPI-2. The research question is as follows: What is the correlation between the clinical scales of the Personality Questionnaire MMPI-2 and the projective Tree Drawing Test? Both tests were assigned to adolescents from children's homes. I found statistically significant correlations in paranoia, hypochondria, hysteria and psychasthenia among men, I also looked for matches between individual clinical scales and the Tree Drawing in individual case reports. Unlike the research I present in my work, I have found areas where the projective Tree Drawing Test could correspond to personality characteristics as approached by the Personality Questionnaire MMPI-2.

Sleep correlates of early risk of bipolar disorder in children and adolescents.
Šebela, Antonín ; Goetz, Michal (advisor) ; Příhodová, Iva (referee) ; Vevera, Jan (referee)
Background: Reports of subjective sleep impairments have been replicated in adults with bipolar disorder (BD) and young BD patients. Furthermore, circadian rhythm alterations are a core feature of BD. Despite the impairment in circadian rhythms and altered sleep included in various heuristic developmental models of BD, thus far, biomarkers in population at risk for BD have not been sufficiently objectively validated. Thus, we conducted: a) Explorative study of sleep and rest-activity circadian rhythm among offspring of BD parents. b) Study of sleep and rest-activity circadian rhythm among offspring of BD parents without the presence of psychopathology (except depression and anxiety disorders) based on our exploratory findings. Methods: a) 14 days of actigraphic assessment and subjective scales (Pediatric Sleep Questionnaire, PSQ; the Morningness/Eveningness Questionnaire, MEQ; and The General Behavior Inventory Sleep Subscale, GBISS) to assess circadian preference, and to identify sleep impairment symptoms. Psychopathology was assessed using psychiatric interview. b) ≥ 14 days of actigraphic assessment with advanced methods to assess the chronotype, social jet lag and sleep macrostructure, psychiatric interview and subjective psychometric scales to assess the full psychopathology profile. Results:...
