Possibilities and Utilisation of Objective Personality Tests of the Vienna Tests System for Detection of Individual Risk-Tendency
Konrádová, Hana ; Niederlová, Markéta (advisor) ; Šípek, Jiří (referee)
The theoretical part of this thesis addresses key concepts related to the individual tendency to take risks - it introduces how this trait is embedded in the concept of personality, establishes essential theoretical issues related to risk and risk-tendency, as well as related important terms, research and authors in the field in question. The key issues, too, are methods of risk behaviour detection with emphasis on current trends in psychodiagnostics, thus in the following part the fields of computerized psychodiagnostics and of objective personality tests are discussed. The paper's empirical section is focused on the utilization of Vienna Test System (VTS) in this area. Objective personality tests used for detection of risk-tendency were analysed and validised using the SPARO method and data gained during interviews. Empirically produced results suggest that the validity of the methods used is equivocal. One of the main conclusions of this thesis, therefore, is that VTS methods' potential to determine risk behaviour seems to be rather limited and its further research should be conducted in the future. Keywords: risk, risk-tendency, personality, objective personality tests, computerized testing, Vienna Test System

The relationship of physical activity and cognitive function in older adults
Dostálová, Radka ; Slepička, Pavel (advisor) ; Fialová, Ludmila (referee)
Title: The relationship between physical activity and cognitive function in older adults Objectives:. The dissertation deals with issues related to the relationship between physical activity and cognitive function in older adults. The main aim of the thesis was exploring possible links between the movement regime of seniors and cognitive function, specifically to find out what links exist between the cognitive function of seniors and systematic physical activity as a part of their lifestyle. The secondary aim of this study was to investigate what factors of lifestyle and quality of life are related to the ability of seniors to solve complex cognitive tasks. Method: The research was based on two quantitative methods - the Vienna test system battery which measured the level of cognitive function and the battery of questionnaires which measured the various variables related to lifestyle and quality of life. The obtained data were analyzed by using SPSS 21.0 statistical software (Hayes, 2017). The research sample was consisted of 204 seniors from the Czech Republic aged between 60 - 89 years, without serious health problems. The research sample was represented by both regular sporting seniors at the level of recreational sport and seniors in whose movement regime there is no regular sports activity....

Comparison of reaction rate in children diagnosed with ADHD and common population of the same age
Kovařovic, Vojtěch ; Nováková, Tereza (advisor) ; Vomáčková, Helena (referee)
Title: Differences in reaction rate in children with ADHD and the general population of the same age. Problem definition: ADHD is a neuropsychological disorder occurring in part of the pediatric population (5-8%). The scientific public mentions the existence of the so-called hyperfocus, ie the ability to significantly concentrate in children diagnosed with ADHD, especially in the case of these children being interested in the task. Methodologically correctly compiled and performed testing of the reaction rate of these children could confirm or refute this assumption. Aims: The aim of the work is to find out whether and possibly what effect the diagnosis of ADHD in children has on the reaction rate. Hypotheses: H1: The reaction rate in individuals with ADHD will be on average the same or higher than in individuals of the same age of the healthy population. H2: The difference between the individual experiments will be greater in children with ADHD than in individuals of the same age of the healthy population. H3: The individual with fastest reaction ability with ADHD will have the same or better result as the individual with the fastest reaction of the same aged healthy population. Methods: Testing for the purposes of this diploma thesis took place in the ROSA center. 12 probands in the tested group...

Choice reaction time comparision of Muay Thai athletes
Svejkovská, Kristýna ; Pavelka, Radim (advisor) ; Zdobinský, Adam (referee)
Titel: Choice reaction time comparision of Muay Thai athletes Goals: The aim of this bachelor thesis is to find out whether oral tobacco has an influence on the reaction ability of a thaiboxing athlete (fighter) who uses it regularly and for a long time. Research compares selective responses to acoustic and visual stimuli among individuals who take oral tobacco while they are taking it and when they are without nicotine. Method: Its method of quantity reseach, where to get the results, we used method of testing by Vienna test, in which we have choosen determination test. The non- parametric paired Wilcoxon's rank test was used for data processing. Results: Based on the Vienna test system and further processed results by statistical method we have found out, that the results of thaiboxing athletes are not statistically significant and therefore we cannot say whether oral tobacco acts as a sedative or stimulant on thaiboxing athlete (fighter). Key words: Vienna test system, oral tobacco, Muay thai, determination test, reaction time, choice reaction
