Kosková, Kateřina ; Kočí, Jana (advisor) ; Váchová, Alena (referee)
This thesis explores the topic of well-being in university students and related subjects, such as positive psychology, quality of life, and happiness. It introduces readers to the possible approaches of this concept and attempts to clearly define it's direction and purpose. One of the most well-known contemporary studies in this field is the Theory of Well-Being by American psychologist M. Seligman, through which the PERMA model was introduced. The aim of this bachelor's thesis is to measure well-being in a randomly selected group of university students using a questionnaire survey method. Translated PERMA™ model questionnaire enriched with 4 additional questions and a questionnaire from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development were used to obtain the data. The theoretical part also introduces research questions, which are subsequently answered in discussion based on the analysis and summary of individual data.
Positive Psychology as a Theoretical Foundation for Constructive Journalism
Vraná, Kateřina ; Vranka, Marek (advisor) ; Maňák, Vratislav (referee)
This diploma thesis tries to provide a theoretical basis and explanation of the interdisciplinary connection between positive psychology and constructive journalism. Constructive journalism involves the application of the tools of positive psychology in order to increase the quality of media content by creating engaging and productive news and journalism. The aim of this work is to verify the theory and methods of positive psychology and constructive journalism through research, which exposes respondents to two articles formulated in both negative (catastrophic) and positive (constructive) frames. The purpose is to find out to what extent framing affects emotions, motivation, attitude or preference and whether constructive journalism is really the right way to raise the level of journalism as such.
