Attachment in couple relationship and in marriage
Komárková, Soňa ; Šulová, Lenka (advisor) ; Slaměník, Ivan (referee)
This study examine the interrelationship between the attachment in relationship and in marriage and relationship satisfaction. Based on theoretical models of attachment the study works empirically with a 2-factor concept of adult attachment. It deals with selected components of the relationship aspects of adult attachment. Another important issue is the relationship satisfaction. The work proposes a Czech translation of questionnaires Experiences in Close Relationships-Revised and the Couples Satisfaction Index and uses them in a research. Quantitative research was conducted on a sample of 258 respondents. 49 of them were clients of marriage counselling or psychotherapy practice. Statistical analysis showed significant correlation between the factors of attachment (Anxiety and Avoidance) and relationship satisfaction. The strongest correlation was found between satisfaction and anxiety. The results confirm the theory of attachment, according to which more securely attached individuals are more satisfied in a relationship than those less securely attached. The factors of attachment have proved to be better predictors of relationship satisfaction than age, gender or type of relationship (couple relationship / marriage). Key words: adult attachment, couple relationship, marriage, marital satisfaction,...

Consumption of online pornography in relation to the satisfaction in a partnership: Correlation study
Hájek, David ; Vacek, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Vondráčková, Petra (referee)
This bachelor thesis takes a look at the satisfaction level of partners in an intimate relationship and the consumption of on-line pornography. The goal is to show a possible interdependence of both factors. The results were derived on the basis of data from an internet questionnaire, into which all respondents were enrolled either through self-selection or via the snowball method. The questionnaire was constructed with 22 closed end questions, dichotomous, trichotomous and selective, which were answered by 229 respondents. Aside of demographics, the fields of questioning were divided into those which observed the level of partership satisfaction on the basis of appraisal by the partner, parnership sexuality and own level of pornography consumption. The results show a proven correlation and in the closing statement a practical use for specific problems in couples therapy is formulated. Key words: pornography, internet, addiction, correlation, quantitative research

In the theoretical part, the types of addictions and the historical development of pornography are definedfocusing into the current media. The theoretical background including relevant literature is mentioned. In the practical part, research questions are raised, ie whether there is a correlation between partner satisfaction and the level of online pornography consumption, methods of data collection and research design are presented. In this case, it is a quantitative research. In the final part are presented the results of the research, their analysis and the final discussion. Since no correlation rate has been shown to be positive or negative, the results are confronted both in the context of previous research on related topics and with original expectations. The discussion gives a critical assessment of the whole work and the starting point for any further study on the subject.

Mate choice based on olfactory imprinting-like effect
Kuncová, Lucie ; Havlíček, Jan (advisor) ; Špinka, Marek (referee)
Previous studies have shown that women choose partners resembling their fathers in various characteristics. However, none of the studies have focused on woman's father-partner body odour similarity, even though body odour plays an important role in mate choice. The main aim of our study was to test whether the woman's father and partner body odour is similar and whether the rating of this similarity was affected by the body odour's intensity and pleasantness. Further, we wanted to know whether the quality of woman's relationship with her father during her childhood influences the body odour similarity. We also tested the effect of woman's father-partner body odour similarity on sexual and relationship satisfaction. Twenty-five women with their fathers and partners participated in the study. Every respondent completed a set of questionnaires, in addition, fathers and partners provided samples of their body odours. Body odour similarity was rated by independent female raters (N=128). According to the results of our study, body odour of woman's father and partner is significantly similar. The body odour was also similar in intensity and pleasantness. The quality of woman's relationship with her father does not affect woman's father-partner body odour similarity. Nevertheless, this similarity...

Effect of hormonal contraception use during relationship formation on subsequent relationship satisfaction
Fiurašková, Kateřina ; Havlíček, Jan (advisor) ; Pastor, Zlatko (referee)
Results of previous studies testing the influence of oral contraceptives on relationship satisfaction have produced mixed results. These discrepancies might be explained by the "Congruency hypothesis", which predicts that relationship satisfaction is determined by the congruency (or non-congruency) between current use of oral contraceptives and their use during relationship formation. This is because oral contraceptives appear to alter women's mate preferences, so that attraction to their partner may have changed in non-congruent women. Indeed, previous studies have shown that women in a non-congruent state were less sexually satisfied with their partner, even though they were more generally satisfied in the non- sexual aspects of the relationship. The aim of our study was to test the congruency hypothesis on two groups of couples (couples attending the Center of Assisted Reproduction, and a comparison group of pregnant women and their partners; note that in neither group were women currently using oral contraception). Based on previous studies, we expected that women who used oral contraceptives at the time of relationship formation would report lower sexual satisfaction with their partner than women who were non-users during relationship formation. The study involved a total of 660 couples from...
