Biological and foster family: the view of adults, who have been raised outside their own family	Select Show
Principal investigator: doc. PhDr. Irena Sobotková, CSc. Co-investigators: PhDr. Veronika Očenášková, Mgr. Martina Fülepová The initiation date: 1. 3. 2012 The termination date: 28. 2. 2013 Motto: „Foster care should be about the child and its needs, not about the system and its priorities“. (Annabel Goodyer, Child-centred foster care, 2011). The research project is realised with the grant support of the FF UP within the SGS/IGA (FF_2012_003). It is related to a socially significant topic of foster care. In these days, the conception of the foster care is an often discussed issue and also a new amendment to the Act no. 359/1999 Coll., referring to social and legal protection of children has been prepared without any reliable research background. The main objective of the research is to find out how the adults, who have been raised in foster care, perceive their nonstandard life history and their biological family, how do they appreciate their upbringing in foster family and its importance. It is the first research of this kind in Czech Republic, it means first fieldwork emphasising qualitative methodology. Our sample consists of 50 adults from 6 regions, who were just at the beginning of their life endangered by extra disadvantageous psychosocial factors and with that they were given to a foster family. Students of Master program Šárka Daňková, Eliška Kadlecová, Hana Simonová and Klára Šišková also participated on time demanding and difficult collection of the data and transcription of the interviews. According to a large number of obtained and processed data in the unexplored field we expect to publish our results not only at professional events and in peer – reviewed journals, but probably also in a form of a monograph.

Circadian preference in a relationship to depressivity and sleeping disorders	Select Show
Principal investigator: PhDr. Denisa Janečková Co-investigators: PhDr. Daniel Dostál, prof. PhDr. Alena Plháková, CSc. The initiation date: 1. 3. 2012 The termination date: 28. 2. 2013 In last thirty years, sleeping disorders became one of the main areas of professional interest. The reason is the prevalence rate which is constantly increasing. Among other factors, sleeping is managed by circadian rhythms, but among people there are significant differences in their preferred timing of the rhythms. And that is the reason why the grant project named Circadian preference in a relationship to depressivity and sleeping disorders aims to find out, whether the differences in circadian preferences of the students from various faculties of Palacký University have any connection with their personality characteristics, dominant mood, harmful and unhealthy behaviour and quality of sleep. For our purpose we use these questionnaires: PSQI, MEQ, BDI-II a TCI. Partial outcome results of the project will be presented at Psychological days 2012, at World Psychiatric Association International Congress 2012, and published in Praktický lékař and Česká a slovenská psychiatrie. The research project is realised with the grant support of the FF UP within the SGS/IGA (FF_2012_007).

Barbora Sedláková The initiation date of the project: 1. 3. 2012 The termination date of the project: 28. 2. 2013 The description of the project: The objective of this research is to obtain information about the benefits of therapeutic dance with the clients hospitalized in a mental hospital. In order to obtain needed information we will compare the condition of those clients who within the psychotherapeutic program participate in therapeutic dance, it will be done at the beginning and at the end of the treatment by using interview and questionnaire. If possible, the same inquiry will be done with comparable group of clients who did not participate in therapeutic dance (questionnaire). The research plan will be intra-subject (comparison of data at the beginning and at the end of psychotherapeutic process including therapeutic dance) as well as inter-subject (comparison of the data between the groups “with” and “without” therapeutic dance).

Identification of the multidimensional model of subjective time	Select Show
Principal investigator: doc. PhDr. Panajotis Cakirpaloglu, Dr.Sc. Co-investigator: Karel Flaška The initiation date: 1. 3. 2012 The termination date: 31. 12. 2013 The main objective of the project, that is realised within the internal grant support of the FF UP (FF_2012_016), is to identify the multidimensional model of subjective experience of the passage of time and estimation of the time length in experimental conditions in order to develop a new psychodiagnostic tool based on objective analysis of a subjective time experience. Other important goal of the project is statistical verification of the relationship between the subjective passage of time and emotionality, or other so far known psychometric scales (mostly Eysenck´s temperament dimensions introversion-extraversion, emotional instability-stability). Empirical data are processed by methods of inductive statistics (regression analysis, factor analysis, multidimensional modelling). Our research sample consists of 4 homogenous mutually comparable groups of respondents: control group from nonclinical population and three groups from clinical population according to MKN-10 (with diagnosed depression, mania and epilepsy). Oral presentation.
