Ego integrity in older adults: Interpretative phenomenological analysis
Lumpeová, Laura ; Chrz, Vladimír (advisor) ; Hrabec, Ondřej (referee)
This thesis explores the experiences of older adults with successful ageing and achieving ego integrity. It describes the sources related to ego integrity, that are helpful in facing the challenges of the eighth stage (ego integrity vs. despair). Five interviews were conducted with older adults, aged 65+. These interviews were subsequently analysed using interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA). KEYWORDS ego integrity, aging, qualitative research, interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA)
Life as a video game: play style from the perspective of ego-integrity
Hrabec, Ondřej ; Chrz, Vladimír ; Poláčková Šolcová, Iva
Digital gaming‘s interactive potential is frequently discussed in scientific discourse. Virtual worlds offer transparent and complex possibilities for action within which researchers can observe many different ways players attempt to reach the same goals as they would do in real life. Despite the escapist features of these artificial spaces, online gaming can serve as an example of the interconnection between reality and fiction. Along similar lines, the authors of this paper are applying the results of previous research on styles of play into the context of various stages of human life development. In pursuit of this goal com-parisons will be made between the concept of playful ritualization of ego-integrating activities from E. H. Erikson and forms of play inside video game worlds, which metaphorically reflect these social processes. \n
