Mastromatteová, Nikol ; Konečná, Judita (advisor) ; Krejčí, Hana (referee)
This thesis studies the relations between personality traits of the Big Five model (neuroticism, extraversion, agreeableness, openness to experience, conscientiousness) and eating habits. The aim of this work is to map the relation between personality traits and eating habits, to describe the relation of specific traits with specific eating habits and to discuss possible use in practice. Data were obtained using two questionnaires administered anonymously in an online environment. The NEO-FFI questionnaire was used to measure personality traits, and a self- created questionnaire based on World Health Organization (WHO), Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and The Czech Society for Nutrition (CSN) nutritional recommendations was used to measure eating habits. Data from 91 respondents (22 men and 69 women) were analyzed. The results showed the association of neuroticism with some eating habits that were classified in the unhealthy group, the association of conscientiousness and agreeableness with some eating habits that were classified in the healthy group. Extraversion and openness to experience were associated with habits from both the healthy and unhealthy groups. The results are consistent with previous studies in the context of conscientiousness and neuroticism....

Eating behaviour and personality traits of obese patients depending on BMI
Smutná, Šarlota ; Konečná, Judita (advisor) ; Žůrková, Pavla (referee)
This thesis analyses relationships and interdependencies between eating behaviour, perso- nality traits, and BMI in obese patients. In 2019, the prevalence of obesity was alarming in the Czech Republic, 77 % of working men and 56 % of working women were overweight or obese. The basis of successful treatment is to know patients very well, their history, indi- vidual habits and characteristics that led to the development of obesity. Eating behaviour and personality traits are important parts of this knowledge. They can help us to under- stand the mechanisms of obesity's development and thus also contribute to efective and individually adjusted treatment. We study eating behaviour by the Three-Factor Eating Questionnaire and personality traits by the Personality Inventory for DSM-5 and Beck's Depression and Anxiety Inventory in 598 obese patients (average BMI 44 kg/m2). We split the sample into multiple groups according to the values of BMI to test the diferences between these groups with various methods. Together with correlation coefcients and a linear regression model, we evaluate eating behaviour and personality traits' infuence on BMI. The most important fndings are signifcant diferences between women and men, various correlations of BMI to some personality traits and interdependency...

Páleníková, Petra ; Klenková, Jiřina (advisor) ; Květoňová, Lea (referee)
This diploma thesis deals with mutism from the perspective of specialized czech and foreign literature. The character of the thesis is theoretical and the thesis is divided into three parts. In the first chapter, there is mutism described based on the study of czech specialized literature as well as etiology, symptoms, diagnostics and treatment. The second chapter describes the same categories but based on the study of foreign literature. The last part is dedicated to the analysis and comparison of acquired knowledge in particular areas. The most signifiant differences can be found in the area of diagnostics and therapy of mutisms, which are more elaborated in foreign literature than in Czech literature. Some differences appear in all other areas of mutism. The learning theory is the characteristic feature of foreign literature in the field of etiology of mutism, also the social enxiety is the characteric feature in the area of symptoms and treatment; overall we can see a dominant influence of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. The Czech literature provides a number of different views not only on the definition of mutism, but also on the etiology and symptomatology. The diagnostics and the therapy of mutism is not further elaborated in the Czech literature.

Empirical tests show that employees in leadership positions score higher in several dimensions of Interpersonal Check List, particularly in managerial - autocratic, competitive - exploitive and blunt - aggresive dimensions. The discussion of these findings leads to the conclusion that the mentioned dimensions could be considered as indicators of leadership potential. Interpersonal Check List is a valid instrument for assessing leadership potential. keywords: leadership, leadership potential, Interpersonal Check List, assessment, personality traits, personnel psychology, assessment centre
