Psychology of joy
Boubelová, Adéla ; Uhlář, Pavel (advisor) ; Šípek, Jiří (referee)
The aim of the bachelor thesis is to define the concept of joy and introduce the theme of happiness in all its vastness. The work is divided into two main parts, the theoretical part and the empirical part. In the theoretical part, first the concept of joy is clarified, then the individual triggers of joy are described, then I focus on the moment of the initiation of joy and its experiencing, afterwards I deal with the manifestations of joy and its impact, while I also mention the preconditions for experiencing joy and the pathology of joy, and in the end of this part I am preoccupied with the question of how one can evoke joy in everyday life, also within the concept of a meaningful life. The empirical part follows the theoretical part, more specifically it follows the chapter dealing with the experiencing of joy. The proposal of the qualitative research is focused on the examination of the experiencing of joy caused by three different situations evoking joy. The method of the research is grounded theory.

The Influence of University Studies on Perceived Positivity of Respondents
Plachá, Barbora ; Kočí, Jana (advisor) ; Thorovská, Alena (referee)
The main topic and aim of this paper is to find out the effect of university study on students' perceived positivity. The Positivity Self Test by Barbara Fredrickson was used for this research. The first part of the thesis deals with mental health and the methods by which it can be promoted. The second part of the thesis describes the Positivity Self Test, which was distributed to 5 university students. Respondents completed the test four times over the course of a year, over a period of 14 days. Twice during holidays and twice during school. This test is used to assess the extent to which university study influences respondents' positivity. The results showed that during the semester, the average positivity ratio was equal to 1.04:1. Approximately for every positive emotion, there was one negative emotion during this entire period, and the overall average positivity ratio during the holidays was 1.83:1. Thus, positivity decreased by almost one positive emotion for every one negative emotion. The study concludes with recommendations for students to maintain a stable positivity ratio during a stressful period. KEYWORDS Positivity Self Test, mental health, positive emotions, university students
