Influence of latent toxoplasmosis on intelligence of infected subjects
Chvátalová, Veronika ; Flegr, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Lindová, Jitka (referee)
There remain inconsistencies in the literature concerning the intelligence of subjects infected with latent toxoplasmosis. The main goals of this work are to find out whether, a) latent toxoplasmosis influences the intelligence of infected subjects and b) whether Rh negative and Rh positive subjects respond to the infection in different ways. In this work we used a complex test of intelligence, The Structure Intelligence Test I-S-T 2000 R. We were able to statistically control for the confounding variable the size of the place of residence in childhood. This had benefits when compared to previous studies. The differences in intelligence were measured in students of The Faculty of Science. The sample used included 46 toxoplasma-infected and 188 toxoplasma-free individuals. Using nonparametric tests we found lower numerical, fluid and general intelligence in toxoplasma-infected subjects compared to noninfected subjects. In addition, these tendencies were also observed in the results of parametric tests. Further to these components of intelligence there was also found to be a lower component of numerical knowledge in toxoplasma-infected males. By contrast, no differences between infected and noninfected individuals was found to occur in the female test subjects. No statistically significant...

Competion in service of altruism
Šafařík, Michal ; Kuběna, Aleš (advisor) ; Lindová, Jitka (referee)
Poďakovanie školiteľovi Na tomto mieste by som chcel vyjadriť svoju úprimnú vďaku môjmu školiteľovi a vedúcemu tejto práce Mgr.Alešovi Antonínovi Kuběnovi, za jeho usmerňovanie, neoceniteľné rady, všetky rozhovory, množstvo sms správ a mailov, ktoré musel jednak prečítať a potom na ne pri všetkých svojich povinnostiach reagovať. To, že to celé pritom nebral ako povinnosť, potvrdzuje nielen rýchlosť, ale aj ochota, s akou na moje otázky akoukoľvek formou odpovedal. Jeho živelné nadšenie pre vec a celkový priateľský prístup, mi umožnilo pred ním premýšľať nahlas a v úplnej slobode, čo si osobne veľmi vážim. Neoceniteľná bola pre mňa tiež jeho pomoc so štatistickým spracovaním dát. Za jeho vedenie a všetky tieto nesamozrejmé láskavosti mu týmto ešte raz srdečne ďakujem.

Association of nonverbal behavior and menstrual cycle
Kučerová, Radka ; Havlíček, Jan (advisor) ; Lindová, Jitka (referee)
In previous years, researches have found significant increase of the female attractiveness around the time of ovulation. Among changes, that have been identified, were for example changes in olfactory, vocal, facial and body attractivenes. However, it has not been examined so far, whether this perception is also reflected in non-verbal expressions of women and men interacting with women. We also examined if attractiveness of men influences women nonverbal behavior depending on menstrual cycle phase. The study used a speed-dating paradigm (each person meets several people of the opposite sex for 3 minutes) and interactions were videotaped. We analyzed 391 videotapes of 92 men interacting with women who were in the follicular (187 interactions) or luteal (204 interactions) cycle phase and 391 videotapes of 34 women (18 in the follicual and 16 in luteal cycle phase). We recorded specific behavioural acts and states and these behavioural components loaded into two factors: (i) expressions of interest and (ii) expressions of disinterest. We found no significant differences in overall score of interest or disinterest in relation to the women's menstrual cycle. However, men communicating with women in the fertile phase spoke significantly longer than those communicating with women in the luteal phase of the cycle...
