The Effect of Digital Self-control Tool "ScreenZen" on Excessive Use of Smartphone
No full textThis thesis examines the effectiveness of a digital intervention created to support change of unwanted digital habits. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of the ScreenZen app on several variables related to excessive mobile phone use, including problematic phone use, sensitivity to cues pro and against use, perception of phone use as a habit, screen time, fear of missing out (FoMO), and overall positive and negative affect. Additionally, user satisfaction with their phone use and the perceived usefulness of individual ScreenZen features were also assessed. The study used randomized controlled trial design, with the experimental group using the ScreenZen app and the active control group following a control condition that verbally replicated the app's functions. A significant time effect, meaning improvement in post intervention measures compared to pre intervention measures, was observed across most variables, indicating improvement over time in the entire sample, without significant differences between experimental and control group. Although none of the hypotheses were confirmed, users evaluated the app as beneficial and user-friendly. Therefore, ScreenZen cannot be considered superior to control intervention, but it may serve as an easily accessible tool for supporting digital..

Get PDFTato bakalářská práce se zabývá problematikou well-beingu vysokoškolských studentů z pedagogických fakult po celé ČR. Cílem teoretické části bylo představení a vymezení konceptu well-beingu z pohledu nejznámějších teorií a popsat co konkrétně definuje well-being vysokoškolských studentů. Pro orientaci bylo stručně popsáno vývojové období, které odpovídá studiu na vysoké škole. Dále se teorie zaměřuje na stresory vysokoškolského studia a na to jaké copingové strategie jsou pro studenty efektivní či nikoli. Praktická část byla provedena kvalitativně. Jejím cílem bylo prostřednictvím polostrukturovaných rozhovorů popsat zkušenost 7 studentů z pedagogických fakult. Data z rozhovorů byla dále analyzována a interpretována pomocí reflexivní tematické analýzy. Výstupem výzkumu jsou 4 nejvýznamnější témata vázané na well-being studentů. Z výzkumu vychází, že motivace a přístup ke studiu jsou stěžejní pro pociťovaný well-being studentů. Také že vztahy a podpora nejvíce pomáhají studentů při cestě studiem. V neposlední řadě, že nejsilnějším stresorem pro studenty je časová náročnost. Z výzkumu vyplývají také doporučení pro univerzity, konkrétně více propagovat své podpůrné služby, s tím že pro nejefektivnější prevenci vyhoření se musí o služby zajímat i sami studenti.

Cílem bylo ověřit vliv aplikace ScreenZen na několik proměnných, jež souvisí s excesivním používáním mobilního telefonu, mezi které patřilo problematické používání mobilního telefonu, citlivost vůči vodítkům pro a proti používání, vnímání používání mobilního telefonu jako návyku, čas strávený u obrazovky, strach z promeškání a celkové pozitivní a negativní afekty. Navíc byla zjišťována také spokojenost uživatelů s jejich používáním a hodnocení užitečnosti jednotlivých funkcí aplikace ScreenZen. Výzkum probíhal formou randomizované kontrolované studie, přičemž experimentální skupina používala zmíněnou aplikaci a aktivní kontrolní skupina plnila kontrolní podmínku, jež slovně kopírovala funkce aplikace. U většiny proměnných se ukázal významný efekt času, tedy zlepšení v hodnotách zjišťovaných po intervenci ve srovnání s hodnotami před intervencí napříč celým vzorkem, bez významného rozdílu mezi experimentální a kontrolní skupinou. Ačkoliv žádná z hypotéz nebyla potvrzena, uživatelé aplikaci hodnotili jako přínosnou a uživatelsky přívětivou. Aplikace ScreenZen tedy nelze považovat za superiorní vůči kontrolní intervenci, může ale sloužit jako jednoduše dostupná podpora v digitální...Katedra psychologieFaculty of EducationPedagogická fakult

Teoretická část zahrnuje představení vybraných metod současného recruitmentu (náboru) a teoretické využití psychologických poznatků v tomto procesu. Empirická část se zaměřuje na konceptualizaci procesu náboru a výběru a také využití psychologických nástrojů a konceptů v každodenních činnostech pracovníků lidských zdrojů v prostředí vybrané náborové agentury. Zvláštní pozornost bude věnována využití psychologických nástrojů a konceptů u náborářů s psychologickým a jiným vzděláním. Cílem práce je zjistit, jak je proces náboru (a hodnocení kandidátů) vnímán jednotlivými náboráři a jaké existují rozdíly v procesu hodnocení kandidátů s ohledem na postupy a poznatky, které jsou využívány v konkrétní praxi náborářů a jak se jejich využívání liší dle vzdělání, délky praxe a jak je subjektivně hodnocena jejich validita (efektivita). Práce bude zpracována pomocí kvalitativní metodologie, konkrétně zjišťováním obecně teoretických postupů a konkrétního provedení u jednotlivých náborářů. Sběr dat bude probíhat prostřednictvím polostrukturovaných rozhovorů s jednotlivými pracovníky dané náborové...Katedra psychologiePedagogická fakultaFaculty of Educatio

Validation of trauma measurement tool: PTSD Checklist for DSM-5
Get PDFThis thesis focuses on the initial validation of the PTSD Checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5) in its Czech version. It is a self-report method that measures symptoms accompanying posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The theoretical part of the thesis describes the development of the diagnosis of PTSD over time and its current criteria. It also presents a list of diagnostic tools for measuring PTSD, including the PCL-5 and its psychometric properties. The research part of the thesis describes the process of data collection and processing, the results of the hypotheses and discussion. The research sample consisted of 444 respondents (370 women; 74 men) with a mean age of 32,6 years (SD = 10,6). The mean PCL-5 score was 29,3 (SD = 19,9). When comparing the scores of women (M = 30,2; SD = 20) and men (M = 24,7; SD = 18,8), a statistically significant difference was observed (p = 0,029). When comparing respondents who were psychiatric patients (PP; M = 39,5; SD = 20) and those who were not (M = 21,7; SD = 16,6), a significant difference (p < 0,001) was also observed. In case of comparison of respondents by gender who were not PP, no statistically significant difference was confirmed. Cronbach's alpha for the whole questionnaire came out high: 0,955 (for clusters ranging from 0,831-0,908), which is consistent..
