Bura, Jan ; Hrabec, Ondřej (advisor) ; Lukavská, Kateřina (referee)
The bachelor's thesis aims to find out whether there are differences in resilience and coping strategies between gamers - specifically between players of the souls-like genre and the normal population. To collect data, a questionnaire was constructed that included two standardized inventories, the Brief Resilience Scale (BRS) and the Brief-COPE. For the purpose of this thesis, the BRS-G inventory was also created, which is basically the BRS scale set in game environment. The questionnaire was subsequently posted to online forums and Facebook groups. Data was collected from a total of 147 respondents. Respondents were classified into 3 groups (souls-like gamers, regular gamers and non-gamers) based on time spent playing video games and preferences for the souls-like genre. The group of regular gamers was added as a control group to capture whether the difference between the groups was due to playing souls- like games or gaming in general. The Kruskal-Wallis test (i.e. a non-parametric version of ANOVA) and subsequent post-hoc tests were the main methods used to detect differences. Differences in coping strategies were minimal, almost nonexistent - the only significant difference was found in emotion-focused strategies, which was most likely related to gender (women showed higher values).

Comparison of the Origin and Course of Gambling Addiction in Video Lottery Terminal Players and Betters
HAMHALTEROVÁ, Jana
The diploma thesis focuses on the comparison of the origin and course of gambling addiction in video lottery terminal players and bettors. The theoretical part focuses on pathological gambling, types of gambling and the distribution of bettors and players of video lottery terminals, for which sociodemographic data, origin and course are described. The next chapters specify the concepts of treatment, relapse, recurrence, prevention and self-limiting measures. Then, the gambling games that predominate abroad and their preventive measures are compared. In the practical part, attention is paid to the methodology used, results, discussion and conclusion. The aim of the thesis is to describe and compare the origin and course of player dependence between video lottery terminal players and bettors. Following the aim of the thesis, two research questions have been chosen. The first question is, what is the course and origin of gambling addiction among video lottery terminal players? The second question is, what is the course and origin of gamblers' addiction? A qualitative research strategy is used to fulfil the goal. The method is a form of questioning with the technique of semi-structured interview and secondary data analysis. The set of informants consists of 12 players using a purposeful selection in the Prevent 99 Non-Substance Addiction Counselling Centre. It has been found that video lottery terminal players and bettors have similar characteristics of the course of gaming, but a different onset of gambling addiction. The reason may be online gaming. For common characters, there is a reason to replay. Different aspects can be seen in the origin, frequency or length of the overall game. In practice, it may be useful to know these details about groups of players and to work with them accordingly. The diploma thesis will be used for professionals who work or want to work with this target group and also for students.
