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

Dynamics of motivation in achieving long-term goal
Kožušníková, Tereza ; Uhlář, Pavel (advisor) ; Hnilica, Karel (referee)
This thesis deals with the topic of motivation, specifically with the dynamic aspect of motivation in achieving a distant goal. The teoretical part of the thesis can be devided into two main parts, the first one is based on key motivational concepts and hopes targets on the most relevant theories, the second one focuses on the dynamic side of motivation as viewed from the perspective of the concept of goals. Emphasis is placed on psychologicaly distant and difficult goals. The thesis, especially the section focused on goals, reflects the latest theoretical findings, which serve not only to describe the problem, but underly many interventional techniques. The empiricial part, concept of an quantitative research, is based on the previous theoretical findings. The research aims to assess the possible impact of the proposed intervention technique focused on achieving a distant goal.
