Self-regulation and goal achievement
Hnilica, Marek ; Bahbouh, Radvan (advisor) ; Blatný, Marek (referee)
First part of the thesis reviews current literature on self-control, with a particular focus on the strength model of self-control. This model asserts that the ability to self-control depends on a limited resource, which gets depleted with its use. According to the model, the ability to self-control is dependent on one resource. The experimental part of the thesis purports to ascertain whether two resources can in fact be identified - one for initiatory self-control and another one for inhibitory self-control. Two types of manipulations were tested in the experiment. The results showed that one type of experimental manipulation hadn't led to any measurable depletion of initiatory self-control whilst the second type of manipulation had indeed led to results that may be interpreted as a support for distinguishing between inhibitory and initiatory self-control. It would be an interesting finding that would broaden our current knowledge about self-control if the findings of the thesis were successfully replicated in a study addressing limitations of the present research. Keywords: self-control, experiment, strength model of self-control, initiatory self-control, inhibitory self-control, Stroop task

The strategy of "small steps" or "quick wins" is described as possible self- coaching and self-management intervention. The validity of Procrastination scale is verified within the overview study by comparison with different studying strategies divided into those with and without delay. At the same time the techniques increasing students' efficiency are mapped, based on their subjective responses. Within the experimental study is then verified "efficient sprint" method, as a strategy of intense concentration on a short-term actions to achieve the goal. There are observed differences in subjectively rated advance toward the target and perceived difficulty of its attainment, specifically in severely procrastinating students. The results show a...

Dynamics of Aspiration Level during Achieving More Demanding Goals
Lesse, Klára ; Uhlář, Pavel (advisor) ; Stehlík, Luděk (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with a to this day very briefly studied topic of aspirations and their dynamics when achieving more demanding goals. From the scope of the thesis' structure, the text is divided into five theoretic chapters and an empirical one presenting the design of the research. The first part of the thesis is preoccupied with the outline of the aspirations problem, the description of basic terms, the history of the scientific research in this field and with the motivational tendencies to succeed and to avoid failure in general. A major part of the text is dedicated to the level of aspiration theory. The structure of the aspiration levels is depicted, so as their settings, possible modifications and studies that have dealt with this issue. The next chapter deals with the impact of aspiration on achieving goals, factors that determine the level of aspiration and changes in self-perception. The fifth and final chapter in the theoretic part contains chosen findings from the field of sport psychology and other applied disciplines related to the aspiration phenomenon. The core of the subsequent empirical section is the design of a study from the field of sport psychology.

Spoken language of youth
Řehořová, Karolína ; Šebesta, Karel (advisor) ; Pacovská, Jasňa (referee)
This bachelor's work deals with a conversation of youth from interactional perspective. It is based on an analysis of original tape-recordings of two groups of the same age - girls and boys - from a youth club. It examines firstly a conversation conceptualized as a game and secondly a conversation motivated by a task. The interaction is influenced not only by a scheme of the game, but also by presence of instructors and that children know they are recorded. In the conversation the speakers follow particular goals - institutionalized or individual. First of all they try to win some space for their turns and to push through their ideas and arguments, but also they want to have fun. The fight for dominance has different importance for boys and girls and they use different means to push through their utterances. Achieving goals is influenced by invariable factors such as social relations and roles, children's mental characteristics, rules of the game and turn-taking conventions and also by some intentionally used means such as intonation, choice of lexicon and topics, using of "special tones" or code-switching.

Web Portal for Project Milestones and Goal Tracking
Maliňák, Václav ; Szőke, Igor (referee) ; Beran, Vítězslav (advisor)
The aim of this theses is a creation of a project and goal managing system with effective user interface. The modern goal setting is the base of defined user interface. A substantial proportion of the theses deals with gamification, which encourages the users to use the system and motivates them to reach the predefined goals and fulfil the projects. Theoretical knowledge of goals settings and project managing serves as a base for the whole concept of the system and for a creation of the actual gamification engine. A web-based application utilizing implemented components was created with the system. An essential part of the theses is a formulation of hypotheses and their verification by testing.
