Pletichová, Eliška ; Taušová, Jitka (advisor) ; Božík, Michal (referee)
ABCTRACT This thesis deals with psychological manipulation in partner relationships. The aim of this bachelor thesis is to explore the relationship between the manipulator and his victim.

The second chapter deals with the phases of the manipulative relationship, which are divided into the phase of idealization, the phase of appropriation and the phase of identity erosion. The third chapter deals with manipulative techniques. The fourth chapter is focused on the personality profile of the manipulator, where I did not deal only with the masks which the manipulator wears in society, but I also focused on his characteristic qualities and the question whether the manipulative individual is aware of his behavior and manipulative techniques and uses them consciously in order to gain consent. The fifth chapter is focused on the profile of the victim's personality.

Manipulation techniques in multi-level marketing
Staňková, Tereza ; Kollerová, Lenka (advisor) ; Machovcová, Kateřina (referee)

They are particularly dangerous to vulnerable groups, including mothers on parental leave, the unemployed and students. However, the topic has not yet been sufficiently researched and thus lacks the theoretical foundation for developing a strategy to prevent the harmful effects of multi-level marketing. The aim of the thesis is to describe the recruitment process of multi-level marketing companies that operate in the Czech Republic, as well as the manipulation techniques they use.

The thesis is structured...
