Bláhová, Andrea ; Kobová, Ĺubica (advisor) ; Kolářová, Kateřina (referee)
The thesis titled Czech Popular Music as a Platform for Thematization of Female Sexuality deals with young Czech female performers who, through the lyrics of their songs, interviews in the media, and performances at concerts, thematize the female experience. I analysed the selected song lyrics of five female performers, their interviews and notes from the field diary using qualitative content analysis and further interpreted the results in seven different thematic categories. The thesis consists of a theoretical and an empirical part. In the theoretical part, I mainly focus on defining post-feminism and post-feminist sensibility, popular culture and the perception of physicality in the environment of popular music. The empirical part consists of methodology, qualitative content analysis and subsequent interpretation.

The goal is to indentify negative psychological states that subsequently affect the performance of athletes, and their frequency in athletes returning to the training and match process after injury. A sub-goal is to find out the following possible variables involved in increasing/moderating these conditions. The work verifies the frequency of occurence of negative psychological states; investigates the influence of repeated injuries, differences between woman and man athletes, differences in individual and team athletes, and also verifies the frequency of use of coping strategies an their specific form. The work is devided into a theoretical and a research part. The theoretical part was prepared on the basis of Czech and foreign language professional literature. In the research part,we use the psychological questionnaire CSAI-2 to determine the occurrence of anxiety and its influence on the performance of individuals in sportsman, who have suffered injuries. We expected that the injury would increase the athletes's anxiety at the time of returning to the training and match process.

Goals: The aim of this work was to find a relationship between self-efficacy and state anxiety in challenging activity in overcome a high obstacle. Methods: Thirty-three undergraduate students at FTVS UK, who completed a challenging activity in the form of a height obstacle. At the beginning of the course, each person completed the NGSE questionnaire. State anxiety was assessed by using the CSAI-2 questionnaire, which participants completed twice. Once on the ground, before the activity, the second time at a height just before overcoming an obstacle. Results: A moderately strong relationship (p = 0,05) was demonstrated between self-efficacy and the cognitive dimension of anxiety r = -0,421 (p = 0,05) in height and between self-efficacy and the dimension of self-confidence r = 0,450 (p = 0,01 ), also in height. The female sample showed a relationship between self-efficacy and the cognitive dimension of anxiety r = -0,523 (p = 0,05) in height and between self-efficacy and the dimension of self-confidence r = 0,572 (p = 0,01), also in height.

Andrlík, Jan ; Bílý, Milan (advisor) ; Süss, Vladimír (referee)
Title of diploma paper: Effect of anxiety on the athlete's sports performance in flatwater canoeing. Objectives: The aim of the study was to find out the values of competitive state anxiety and evaluate its influence on sports performance in a race. Methods: The questionnaire method CSAI-2 has been used to determine the values of the components of competitive state anxiety. The observed values were statistically compared with the standards of the best athletes and then analyzed with the performances of athletes in individual races. The dependence of the variable values was determined by correlation and regression analysis. Results: Flatwater kayakers and canoeists have higher cognitive and somatic anxiety and lower self- confidence compared to other athletes. In the test group flatwater kayakers, we managed to demonstrate that the higher the values of cognitive and somatic anxiety, the higher the negative effect on the athlete's sports performance. Higher values of self-confidence affect performance positively. The dependence of the variable values has been identified as medium to high at the 5% significance level. In the case of flatwater canoeists, this dependence has not been statistically proven. Self-confidence of the athlete is positively affected by higher age and experience. Keywords:...

The influence of specific learning disorders on pupils'self-esteem and self-confidence was investigated and subsequently the influence of specific learning disorders on their choice of grammar school. To achieve the thesis aims, the auther used the mixed method approach. One hundred and thirty-four persons (pupils with specific learning disorders, their parents and upper elementary school teachers) participated in this research. Some data obtained by non- standardized methods were confronted with outputs from standardized methods. Research investigation revealed feelings and experience of pupils with specific learning disorders. The possibility of additional research was outlined. The low awareness of non-professional community about possibilities of study of pupils with specific learning disorders at grammar schools was found as well as very weak awareness of the upper elementary school teachers in Kralovehradecko about appropriate legislative provisions concerning pupils with specific learning disorders interested in study at grammar schools.
