Technology in the hands of children - a probe into the work of Czech psychologists at high schools
Klimplová, Kristýna ; Slussareff, Michaela (advisor) ; Ort Feyglová, Sandra (referee)
This bachelor's degree thesis takes the form of a pilot study whose objective is to test and conduct a preliminary validation of the standardised Smartphone Addiction Proneness Scale (SAPS) questionnaire in the Czech environment. The main goal of the thesis is to map the dependence on information technology with a special focus on so-called "smartphones" using a pilot study based on the prepared questionnaire. The target group will be secondary school students aged 15-18. This method was developed in Korea and has been translated and validated in several European countries, though it has not yet been used in the Czech Republic. It is a very simple tool for evaluating problematic behaviour related to smartphones in the generation of young adolescents. The questionnaire would be a very good tool for school psychologists as another method for a comprehensive evaluation of pupils' unhealthy behaviour in relation to modern communication technology. Keywords: problems, kids, smartphone

Algorithm driven graphic design
Kabilka, Richard ; Slussareff, Michaela (advisor) ; Ferenc, Jakub (referee)
The diploma thesis inquires into the use of A.I. - artificial intelligence in the field of graphic design. This thesis aims to describe the current state of A.I. use and algorithmization in graphic design and, based on the conducted study, to evaluate the potential of this type of tool and possible impacts on graphic design. The theoretical section will introduce basic principles and concepts of graphic design and its relationship with art and technology, based on professional literature and current research. Furthermore, it will describe the current possibilities and specializations of artificial intelligence. Findings from these two chapters will serve as a framework for critical evaluation of the currently available A.I. driven tools for graphic design. In the research section, a quantitative study utilizing a questionnaire will be conducted among the professional public and examine the opinions and experiences of Czech graphic designers with tools for design automatization. Its results will be used to test the formulated hypotheses utilizing appropriate statistical methods.

The elderly in the age of fake news
Pajgrtová, Anežka ; Šlerka, Josef (advisor) ; Slussareff, Michaela (referee)
Aging represents the most significant prerequisite to be influenced by disinformation or fraudulent media messages on the internet. The elderly are a group that consumes these messages and also spreads them most often. With the gradual aging of the population and enlargement of the elderly group, the society-wide problem further escalates. The topic of the diploma thesis is focused on the issues of fake news and the spread of disinformation online within the elderly group aged 65 and more years. The thesis aims to describe in detail the aspects on which the elderly evaluate the credibility of news and which signs of fake news they are able to identify. The theoretical section defines the fundamental terms relevant to fake news and describes the state of media literacy of the Czech elderly in the context of current research. In the practical section, a qualitative study is conducted in the form of semi structured interviews with the elderly to answer the research questions.

Sliš, Ondřej ; Šlerka, Josef (advisor) ; Slussareff, Michaela (referee)
The news are consumed with rising frequency through the social network sites. This activity is going to be grasped with the use of two concepts: opinion leadership and framing because in the social network sites environment the active and influential users (opinion leaders) are attempting to pass certain viewpoints (frames) to other users. It is going to be evaluated to what extent can such framing be effective. An experiment was therefore conducted - it presents the subjects with an artificial news article and a Facebook "introductory" post. The experiment also lays emphasis on moderators that influence the effectiveness of passing the frames. For a realistic setting of the entire study, determining the opinion leaders and an analysis of their language means is going to be conducted. The goal of this study is thus grasping the way in which people are being informed about the public issues and the way they are forming opinions about them in the environment of social network sites. Keywords: opinion leadership, framing, Facebook, social network sites, source cues, credibility, belief importance change

Empirical research on the representation of historical information in the medium of computer games, their user reception, and intrapersonal learning outcomes
Kolek, Lukáš ; Šisler, Vít (advisor) ; Macek, Jakub (referee) ; Slussareff, Michaela (referee)
This dissertation investigates whether video games are able to affect players' attitudes and information behaviour towards depicted historical topics in games over the short- and long-term. We collected data from a sample of 148 young adults. As far as we know, there is currently no study of such a scale focused on historical games. We used, as an intervention tool, a modification of the serious game Czechoslovakia 38-89: Borderlands that deals with the expulsion of the Sudeten Germans from the former Czechoslovakia after WWII. The game is based on historical research providing players with multiple perspectives on the depicted topics. Our control group played a similar game, but where the narrative was unrelated to any depicted historical event from Czechoslovakia 38-89: Borderlands. In the empirical part of the study, we measured explicit and implicit attitude change and information behaviour change towards the expulsion of the Sudeten Germans. Results showed more negative pretest-posttest explicit attitude changes towards the expulsion on a general level (d = -0.34; p = .022) and a specific level (d = -0.53; p = .001) in the experimental group compared to the control group. Over the long-term, group differences in attitude change remained significant for the specific level (d = -0.44; p = .014),...

Intergenerational transfer of digital capabilities when using application JW Library
Němcová, Marta ; Lipková, Helena (advisor) ; Slussareff, Michaela (referee)
The bachelor's thesis examines intergenerational learning in two generations of people-the elderly and young adults. The theoretical section mainly investigates the specifics of each age group and the concept of intergenerational learning. This section also considers how digital skills are passed on within a community. The practical section aims to identify the predictions, obstacles and benefits of intergenerational interaction in sharing and developing new skills within a certain religious community while using the JW Library application on electronic devices. This religious community uses the library regularly for their meetings and personal studies. The empirical section consists of evaluated semi-structured interviews with respondents selected from both generations involved in this specific religious community. The research explored how both generations cooperated with each other and learnt as they worked with the JW Library mobile application.
