The theoretical part describes the effects of social networks usage on adult women and young girls, focusing primarily on negative influences, such as the possibility of developing an eating disorder increases due to the frequent sharing of women's bodies on Instagram.

Fitness influencers on Instagram and their impact on the self body image - the phenomenon of fitness culture among young women and men
Skaunicová, Dunia ; Rosenfeldová, Jana (advisor) ; Supa, Markéta (referee)
This diploma thesis titled: 'The influence of fitness influencers on the self-body image - the phenomenon of fitness culture amongst young women and men' deals with the phenomenon of fitness influencers on Instagram, whose content may affect its users' body image perception, self-perception, and self-conception. This thesis aims to theoretically introduce Instagram influencer marketing in the fitness field, with the focus on body image perception amongst their users and the evaluation of its psychological aspects. The sample contains people who actively exercise in the 20-30 age range. The analysis of in-depth interviews with 12 respondents was chosen as the methodology. After data collection, the interviews are subsequently thematically analysed using open coding and a categorical system. This thesis aims to find out why individual Instagram users consume selected content and how they perceive it. Perception is linked to gender optics, which examines whether users monitor and perceive content concerning gender influencers and, if so, why? Gender comparison compares different motives for tracking profiles and simultaneously reveals overlap in the perception of profiles by users within gender stereotypes. Another goal of this thesis is to present the results of the topics which showed the importance...

Homosexuality as a part of identity
VONÁŠKOVÁ, Nikola
My thesis will be divided into two parts theoretical and practical. The author will base the theoretical part upon analysis of reference books (also comprising foreign literature and journals). The subject matter of the work will be a look at the issue of homosexuality in a wide psychological context. The practical part of the thesis will be a presentation of a qualitative research, which will focus on: the realization of oneself's homosexuality; homosexuality as a part of human identity; the issue of self-acceptance in the context of a person's homosexual orientation; the influence of one's social group (closest family, friends, other homosexuals) in both the positive and negative way; the influence of homosexuality on social life itself (personal, professional) and the change of it throughout different ages and times; the question of partnership; possibly more. The method of data collecting will be in-depth interviews and the presumed number of respondents will be around six persons, acquired by the "snow ball" method. The possibility of in-depth interviews with the original respondents' parents or siblings is left open. Afterwards, the interviews will be processed with the "open coding" method and subsequently cathegorized. Finally, the method of "card sorting" is going to be used.
