Phenomenon of Netholism in Pupils of the Second Stage of Primary Schools in Příbram Area
JEČMENOVÁ, Michaela
My thesis deals with netholism, i.e. the Internet addiction. In my opinion, this is an up-to-date issue, often underestimated by children´s parents. The results of my research may serve as an information material to all professions working in contact with children. Important symptoms present in the Internet addicts, as well as the principles of the Internet safety and the parents´ supervision over children's activities on the Internet are mentioned. There is also the existence of considerable health risks related to computers. A large chapter is related to communication on the Internet. I have stated two main objectives of my diploma thesis. Objective 1: To survey activities of children on the Internet sites in dependence on their age. Objective 2: To determine the awareness of children about the risks arising from an excessive Internet use. (The excessive use of the Internet means a period longer than 3 hours a day.) To achieve the intended objectives and the hypotheses testing, an anonymous questionnaire, the method of quantitative research was used. The subject of the investigation was the issue of the use of the Internet by children attending the second stage of primary schools. There was diversity in the concept of questions. I believe I have managed to meet the both chosen objectives of my diploma thesis. The stated hypotheses have been disproved by the questionnaire survey. Hypothesis H1: Children attending the second stage of primary school spend more than half of their time communicating via social networking sites on the Internet, this has not been not confirmed. The survey has shown that almost always only 23% of the total 175 respondents communicate with friends or unknown persons via social networking sites. Hypothesis H2: Children attending the second stage of primary school are not sufficiently informed about the risks arising from the use of the Internet, this has not been confirmed. Only 12% of children think there are no risks arising from the use of the Internet. As a contribution of my diploma thesis in the health and social field may be regarded the recognition of "netholism" as another form of addiction.

This final paper is centered on influence of the internet in forming of social reality. Main factor in creation of social reality is element of socialization, say communication. The aim of this paper is online communication and socialization developed through chats, discussion groups, blogs, forums summarized by one term -- social networks, which gained very strong position among communication applications available on the internet. I have tried to find out how online communication influence people and how close one can get in creation of social reality in virtual settings in correlation with other members of such settings. Technology of today creates new forms of communication and new ways and connections among members of online communication groups, which differ from the real ones. Distance is no longer an issue and it is completely natural to interact, thus influence somebody and be influence by somebody, from a different geographical, social, economical or political settings. All of these factors directly influence construct of social reality of those who communicate. Study was conducted as a survey. Questionnaire was sent to two hundred people and 107 returned back. More than half of 107 respondents don't know each other, come from various social classes and different areas of Czech Republic. Range of age of respondents is 15-63 years. All of them were given questions aiming at the reality of virtual communication, virtual friendship and bonds between online members. Other questions aim at the authenticity of information and partially influence of commercials in process of decision making. My contribution to this work was mainly creation of questioner, analysis of answers towards conclusions about the influence of online communication on perception and forming of social reality. Analysis that aimed at respondents spending most of their time online brought interesting conclusions in comparison with other groups, which didn't spent as much time online. The paper begins with theoretical summary of reality, its construction, online applications and scientific papers which include their positive and negative impacts. Following there is study introducing respondents, basic questions, hypothesis and then interpretation of answers with previous studies taken in account. Outcome of this work concludes main aspects of interpretations and draw basic view of the future. The questionnaire and more detailed answers about time spent online are in the appendix.
