Stress management strategies of train drivers
Krbečková, Anna ; Málková, Gabriela (advisor) ; Richterová, Eva (referee)
This thesis is focused on stress management strategies of a professional group of train drivers. Stress is presented in this thesis as one of the possible factors, the failure to manage which can lead to the occurrence of an incident. The premise of this connection is based on the findings concerning the effect of stress on attention, vigilance or fatigue. However, as there is currently no similar research naming the stress management strategies used by drivers, the aim of this paper is to describe the strategies that lead to stress management. To achieve this goal, a standardized questionnaire was chosen to describe the strategies that are predefined by it. The results obtained from a research sample of train drivers (n=41) show that drivers use all the strategies listed in the research instrument at least to some extent. It also shows that respondents tend to use more positive strategies. The highest average saturation of each strategy was found for the tested domain , "Positive Strategy 3 - Control Strategy", which is characterized by constructive efforts to cope with stressful situations. On the contrary, the Resignation and Self- blame strategies, belonging to the overall negative strategy, showed the lowest level of saturation. Key words: Railway safety, train drivers, stress, stress...
The importance of language consistency for literacy development
Trojanová, Mariana ; Seidlová Málková, Gabriela (advisor) ; Richterová, Eva (referee)
This bachelor thesis is a theoretical work discussing the extent of the impact of orthographic depth (consistency) on acquiring early literacy in alphabetic writing systems from the point of view of current psycholinguistics. Alphabetic writing systems vary in the regularity and consistency of their correspondences between graphemes and phonemes, which impacts the development of early reading and writing skills. The goal of this paper is to clarify whether the cognitive development underlying reading and writing skills has the same origin in languages with deep and shallow orthography or if it is of a different nature in the two. The impact of orthographic depth is examined on the level of (1) developmental dyslexia, (2) the rate of development of early literacy skills and (3) the predictors of the early literacy. Throughout research studies it is shown that the orthographical consistency has most impact on the rate and extend of obstacles which are faced by the young reader/writer while acquiring early reading and writing skills. However, the cognitive development underlying the early literacy skills and the predictors of future success in reading has the same origin in all alphabetic writing systems. Keywords: orthographic depth, alphabetic principle, psycholinguistic approach, predictors of...
