This paper focuses on the figurativeness of the language of mystical experience in the context of Jung’s theory of collective unconsciousness. It analyses the autobiographical work of St. Teresa of Ávila and tries to identify images that mirror the archetype of the whole, or the Jungian Self (das Selbst). The main objective of the paper is to reveal the life-giving potential and spontaneous nature of symbols created by the unconscious and to highlight their scope and importance in human life.

Subjektivně zabarvený popis neboli líčení je slohový útvar, který umožňuje každému žákovi projevit tvořivý přístup. Předpokladem úspěchu je však schopnost učitele otevřít žákům prostor pro jejich vlastní myšlení, průzkum toho, co pozorují, a pro fantazii. U tohoto tématu je velkou výhodou, je-li učitel schopen sugestivního přednesu, takového podání příkladových textů, které je citově působivé, strhující.

The Brno Quality of Life Longitudinal Study of Paediatric Oncology Patients (QOLOP, N = 225) is a prospective longitudinal study of the quality of life of children and adolescents after treatment of pediatric cancer, which was started in 2006. This paper summarizes the main results of the second stage of this study. Three studies that dealt with longitudinal trends in quality of life, changes in the level of depressive symptoms and predictors of posttraumatic stress and posttraumatic growth, showed that more important than objective medical data (type of diagnosis, severity of late effects) are personality characteristics (negative emotionality) and parenting factors, i.e. factors that are not primarily related to the disease and can be suitably influenced.

The aim of the contribution is analysis and comparison of the attachment in adolescent girls suffering with eating disorders (PPP) and in the non-clinical sample. The research sample consisted of 25 adolescent girls diagnosed with eating disorders and 80 adolescent girls from non- clinical group. Using SCOFF questionnaire (to detect anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa) we divided non- clinical group into two parts- 40 adolescent girls with susceptibility to eating disorders and 40 adolescent girls without any susceptibility. To measure attachment we used s-E.M.B.U. questionnaire, which measures remembered parental behaviour in three subscales – rejection, emotional warmth and over control. Using one- factor analysis we found out, that between adolescents with PPP, identified susceptibility to PPP and without PPP are statistically significant differences in all dimensions of remembered parental behaviour mother and father except rejection of mother.

Introduction: Comparison of self-assessment with evaluation by another person is essential not only for assesment of the validity of personality inventories, but also has a practical meaning in diagnostics. Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI-R) is frequently used in research to measure personality traits, but there have been no studies which investigated the relationship of self-other assessment for this multidimensional inventory. Methods: Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI-R) was completed by 80 participants (Age: M=25, SD=5,3). Participants were also evaluated by their parents (Age: M=50, SD=6,3). Results: We found moderate to very high degree of agreement between an assessment of yourself and an assessment of a close person (parent). The highest agreement was found for the Novelty-Seeking and lowest for Self-Directedness. Overall, higher compliance rates were found for temperament than character traits. We have also found some significant differences in the degree of self-other report on some facets of the main dimensions; for several of them, we also found statistically significant differences in the average scores of the facets. Discussion: The results are discussed in the context of usability TCI-R as a method for evaluating by other person. We also discuss the finding that when assessors (parents) rated below average, especially generally desirable properties such as Self-Directedness and Cooperation. Conclusions: TCI-R can be used as a method of assessment of the other person, with the risk that some personality manifestations are more difficult to assess by external informant, but with an expected benefit even-handed assessment of some (mainly character) features another person, which is needed to evaluate in future.

The aim of the study is to compare personality characteristics and coping strategies in patients with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) - Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) in the background of physiological theories of stress, psychoneuroimunology and psychoneuroendocrinology. The main hypotheses were that patients with IBD score higher in neuroticism and conscientiousness, use more negative coping strategies and consequently suffer from more stress. A group of 25 IBD patients was investigated and compared to 25 respondents without the disease. The used questionnaires were NEO-FFI, SVF 78 and Stress Profile. The results of parametric t-tests and non-parametric Mann Whitney U tests confirmed that patients with active disease and in remission as well scored higher in neuroticism and used more negative coping strategies (specifically in Resignation and Self-accusation). At all the patients the neuroticism correlates with using negative coping strategies (ρ=0,692; p<0,001), but not at the group of non-patients. Relapsed patients suffer from stress more than non-patients.

It has been documented that stressful and anxiety-inducing conditions have detrimental effects on cognitive flexibility during problem solving. This effect is typically attributed to either enhanced sympathetic arousal or possible cognitive interference, both representing a common component of stress response and anxiety state. The present study investigates the impact of experimentally-induced emotional states (anxiety state specifically) on the ability to solve ill-defined verbal problems that require cognitive flexibility (remote associates test). As hypothesized, the group in negative-affect condition showed inferior problem solving ability when compared to the group under positive treatment. Additionally, state anxiety was moderately and inversely associated with post-test cognitive flexibility score while this association remained stable after the pre-test scores (both anxiety and cognitive flexibility) were corrected for. Subsequent mediation analysis yielded evidence that the observed impairment of cognitive flexibility is mediated by the level of post-treatment state anxiety. Therefore, anxiety state may be a crucial parameter responsible for cognitive inflexibility during problem solving.

The paper deals with the topic of alcoholic behavior and its influencing factors. Personal, family and situation-motivational factors we examine in the population of college students and analyze them in the context of the occurrence (or non-occurence) of regular drinking. To obtain the data the questionnaires were used: NEOFFI (Ruisel, & Halama) (neuroticism, extraversion), The questionnaire of education style in the family (Čáp, & Boshek) and original Questionnaire of situation-motivational alcohol behavior factors (Rojková, 2010). The aim is to determine whether neuroticism, extraversion, education style in the family or alcohol behavior in the family and dependence in the family relate to the incidence of regular drinking among college students. Further we investigate the links between extraversion, neuroticizmom and situation-motivational faktors of regular drinking "influence of group" and "escape from problems".

The stress reaction dysregulation in high trait anxious individuals from the psychophysiological perspective represents an actual research problem. Aim of present study was to analyze the relationship between psychophysiological correlates of stress response with hardiness and coping strategies in high trait anxious individuals in comparison with control group. Participants were assigned to groups based on trait anxiety STAI scores. Acute stress conditions were created using psycho-social stress test (PSST), while skin conductance level (SCL), heart rate (HR) and skin temperature were measured simultaneously. Preffered coping strategies were surveyed by COPE questionnaire, hardiness by PVS questionnaire. Results and implications for future research are analyzed in the discussion.

Emotional intelligence is an important determinant of job performance, and research shows that emotional intelligence can be developed through education. For example, one study compared the performance of financial advisors working for managers who received emotional competence training with those working for managers who did not. Working alongside a trained manager, the consultants were able to grow their business. Programs aiming to develop emotional intelligence at a higher rate than counselors working under an untrained manager should target the dimensions of emotional intelligence such as self-awareness, self-regulation, awareness of others, and regulation of others. For example, the most important educational priority for a group of individuals may be to develop self-awareness; may be developing self-regulation for another. Evaluating the priority level of each competence for a particular training group is an important preliminary program step. This can be accomplished by brainstorming with potential participants or having them fill out a valid and reliable emotional intelligence tool before the trainer. The contrast between the potential for emotional intelligence suggested by the theory, on the one hand, and the results reported in the meta-analyses are striking in terms of emotional intelligence capability. While there is an obvious contradiction to make sense of this, the ability model and performance measures based on it encompass a relatively narrow set of emotional skills. The tendency to measure emotional intelligence is a challenge. In this study, the concept of emotional intelligence is examined theoretically in the organizational context. In the literature, studies from the past to the present have been examined and a theoretical contribution is made.

This article focuses on the slow procedure of self-reconstruction in George Simenon’s Les Anneaux de Bicêtre (1963) and Jorge Semprun’s L’Évanouissement (1967). In the first novel, René Maugras, a famous fifty-four year old newspaper editor, suffers a stroke; in the second one, Manuel, a twenty-one year old Spanish resistant fighter living in Paris loses consciousness and falls off a train, while at the same time sustains a serious ear injury. In the cases of both protagonists, with respect to the stages of each’s recovery, there seem to be similarities. First, the two respective protagonists regain consciousness through acute sensory awareness of their surroundings. Next, as they need to make time pass during their recuperation period, they try to keep their minds continually preoccupied. Naturally, one of their first thoughts is meditation on their own death or on the concept of death in general. Besides, they reflect on their lives and examine their conscience. Certain revelations about themselves will lead to feelings of guilt and shame. Therefore, it could be inferred that a sudden turn of events, such as an illness or an accident, may slow down the fast-paced routine and make somebody realize through this experience what the true values of life are.
