Emotion regulation in the perspective of development, health and culture of an individual
Poláčková Šolcová, Iva ; Slaměník, Ivan (advisor) ; Bratská, Mária (referee) ; Šípek, Jiří (referee)
This thesis deals with the emotion regulation. The author presents a theoretical concept of emotion regulation and deals with the theoretical development of emotion regulation across the human lifespan. In the empirical part, the author presents three papers. The first deals with the emotion regulation in relation to the health of the individual. The study shows that unhealthy individuals suppress significantly more emotions and affective phenomena compared to healthy individuals. The second study deals with the display rules of basic emotions in a sample of Czech undergraduate students. The last paper is a cross-cultural survey comparing the frequency of emotions experienced by its participants and the emotion regulation strategies in the group of Czech and Slovak undergraduate students. Emotion regulation in this study appears to be a significant factor of cultural differences: Slovak participants access open and authentic expression of emotions significantly more often than the Czech participants. The presented thesis is a contribution to the existing understanding of emotion regulation with regard to the development, health and culture of the individual.

What is an afect?
Poláčková Šolcová, Iva
In this paper, we will focus on the topic of affect in order to rehabilitate the concept of affect from the mainstream concept in the Czech literature. We introduce affect as an essential component of affective processes, the basic structural unit not only for emotions and moods, but also for emotional episodes, atitudes, passions, beliedfs, and sentiments.

Health as norm, illness as a "deviation". And how to inquire?
Tavel, P. ; Poláčková Šolcová, Iva
Human health is considered to be a “normal condition”(in contrast to illness). Our qualitative study is focused on asking questions about health or more precisely on analysis of individual interview guides. A total of 106 students (interviewers and researchers at the same time) developed an interview guide asking about health and carried out the interview with three participants. Their task was to reflect, evaluate and improve the quality of their guides after each interview. Thematic analysis utilised for data evaluation was focused on areas in the final versions of the guides. Several essential themes have emerged during categorization of interview guides questions. These themes were – according the students-researchers – most related to health: e.g. lifestyle, eating habits, risk behaviour, role of a doctor, diseases etc. This survey has also pointed to a number of hidden assumptions and beliefs, alleged connections and relations that researchers tended to see in the health theme and inject into the interview guides questions, but mainly to the fact that when asking about another person´s health, they especially wanted to know more about his/her diseases.
