Kůra, Michal ; Lukavská, Kateřina (advisor) ; Hrabec, Ondřej (referee)
This dissertation examines the impact of playing video games on social relationships. The main goal of the research is to find out how relationships differ between gamers and non-gamers. The quality of relationships is examined via Furman's and Buhrmester's Network of relationship inventory. The values are compared according to the gaming status. Apart from the basic groups I compared some other groups such as online and offline gamers, men and women or gamers who prefer playing alone and players who play with their friends. According to the inventory findings the relationship qualities of gamers and non-gamers do not differ significantly. Comparison of some other groups brought some interesting relationship differences among groups of men and women and, also, a correlation between the increasing average game time and decreasing quality of relationship with family members was observed.
