Absolonová, Angelika ; Preiss, Marek (advisor) ; Smetáčková, Irena (referee)
5 ABSTRACT This bachelor's thesis follows the ongoing doctoral thesis of Mgr. Barbora Balková in the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) in Klecany. The NIMH research is concerned with broad personality feature as a part of personality traits that can be psychologically meaningful and measurable, and part of the integrity of the personality. My thesis is therefore divided into two parts; theoretical part and empirical part. Theoretical part is concerned with attitudes and their changing, consistency in answering and also with personality traits of an individual. Empirical part is following up to knowledge from the theoretical part and it is concerned with correlations between consistency in answering and changing of attitudes. Another aims of this part in this bachelor's thesis were to find if there is a relation between changing of attitudes and personality trait (Openness) and if there is a relation between consistency in answering and personality trait (Conscientiousness). For measuring my respondent's feedback I used the following methods: personality test BFI-44, attitude scale and method to measure the consistency in answering which was developed by experts in National Institute of Mental Health. The method for measuring of the consistency carried out in this work focused on identifying how the...

Evaluation of the effects on environmental attitude of the environmental educational projects
PAPEŽOVÁ, Nikola
The aim of this diploma thesis is to determine the influence of environmental education programs on elementary schools pupils' attitudes based on the fact that the increasing number of visits of pupils at the center of environmental education increases the attitudes and positive behavior of individuals towards the environment. The first part of the thesis is a comprehensive view of attitudes, their measurement, methodological problems, environmental education in the contemporary curricular education in our country, environmental education, educational programs. Furthermore, the researches were practically tested on the target group of pupils of primary and elementary school second degree. The second part consists of two questionnaires. There are statements to which the respondent attributes their degree of agreement or disagreement with using Likert's scale. Queries in the questionnaires are divided into four areas that are researched more closer. These parts are called: The attitude towards the nature conservation, interest in nature, pro-environmental behavior and attitude towards the environment. Respondents create selected files from the documents provided by the Center for Ecological Education Toulcův dvůr, z. s. in the course of four years. Data obtained from them is statistically evaluated using a general regression model and linear regression. The results show that the number of visits to pupils of primary school have no impact on attitudes towards the environment, attitudes to nature conservation and on pro-environmental behavior. The only area where the relationship was found was of interest to nature. On the other hand, the results of the elementary school second degree show that the attitudes are very pronounced in all the studied areas.

Children's attitude to seniors and the potential change in the interaction with them
Šujanová, Anna ; Niederlová, Markéta (advisor) ; Mertin, Václav (referee)
This paper focuses on attitudes children hold towards the elderly and the potential effect intergenerational programs might have on them. The author investigates the general definition of attitudes, their structure; how attitudes evolve and develop; which factors influence attitudes and effect they have. We present the different forms children's attitudes take and the methodology used for their identification and measurement of their extent. The latter section is dedicated to to the observed changes in attitudes. It describes the mechanisms of change, the different ways attitudes can be modified and specific conditions necessary for these changes to take place. The last part of this study identifies specific intergenerational programs as potential means of changing general attitudes and stereotypes. These programs are categorised in order to point out those, which have especially positive effects on changing children's attitudes towards the elderly. The implications of this study point towards a specific proposal for further research in this field, which involves a specific intergenerational program. The aim of this research extension would be to investigate the effectiveness of the intergenerational program. This would be determined by comparing the change in subjects' attitudes, which would be...
