The project focuses on physiological reactions during the Word Association Test (WAT). The author tests the originally proposed hypothesis (Slechta, 2002b) about separable cognitive and emotional workload, where the cognitive workload is manifested in reaction times (RT) and the emotional workload in physiological reactions (i.e., electro dermal activity). The hypotheses were tested on a sample of young healthy adults (N = 80), with a protocol consisting of 40 Czech nouns. The stimuli varied in their level of concreteness and their emotional valence. During the experiment RTs, electro dermal activity (EDA) and pupillary responses (PR) were measured. It was found that the correlations of all observed parameters were low. In agreement with the original hypotheses it was found that the cognitive workload is manifested most in RTs, and negative stimuli elicit the highest EDA reactions, but these two effects could not be separated. In fact the cognitive workload was manifested significantly in the physiological parameters as well. Therefore in possible clinical applications, where emotional reactions are of interest, it is necessary to take the possible cognitive workload into account in preparing the stimuli protocol.

The focus of this study is verification of the cross-cultural robustness of Piedmont's Spiritual Transcendence Scale (STS, Piedmont, 1999) with regard to a sample of Czech students (N = 410). Means and variances of individual items as well as of the original scales (Prayer Fulfilment, Universality, and Connectedness) were found comparable, with differences well understandable in the context of general cross-cultural differences, especially of the dramatically higher explicit religiosity of the American population. Patterns of scale inter-correlations and alpha-reliabilities were also comparable. Exploratory factor analysis, using the same procedure as that of R. Piedmont, yielded factors similar to the original ones, with the reservation that two of them were less clearly differentiated from each other. This similarity could be improved by means of target rotation, especially if the principle of simple structure was given up, in favour of the fit in critical factor loadings. Confirmatory factor analysis, however, revealed only limited agreement in terms of statistical significance.
