Purpose: To examine the sense of own physical attractiveness among women in advanced pregnancy and its conditioning. Material and methods: From the 1730 who reported for regular health check-up to 3 randomly selected outpatient departments, 260 were selected who became pregnant, and the examinations with the questionnaire were repeated.Results: Before pregnancy 2.3% women were satisfied with their body image, 13.1% – satisfied, 29.2% – unsatisfied, whereas the reminder (55.4%) admitted that they were not able to evaluate it. During pregnancy, the results were as follows: 24.6%, 32.3%, 17.7% and 25.4%, respectively. The differences in the frequency of these replies (prior to and during pregnancy) were highly significant statistically (p<0.001), to the benefit of the pregnant women who were more often satisfied with their body image than those non-pregnant and less often dissatisfied. In the group of women in the study, the level of satisfaction with own physical appearance before pregnancy significantly differed by age (p< 0.05). In advanced pregnancy, age, woman’s general wellbeing in pregnancy, and attitude of the partner towards the pregnant woman were significant (p < 0.05). Conclusions: The sense of own attractiveness among women in advanced pregnancy is varied; nevertheless, it is higher, compared to the period before becoming pregnant. The factors which condition the sense of own attractiveness among women in advanced pregnancy is age, general wellbeing during that time, and the attitude of the partner towards them.

A time frame of research included 2 phases: phase I – exploratory phase: February – May 2013 and phase II – the essential phase: up to early 2014. The studs has confirmed the formulated hypothesis. Most of the companies of the furniture industry have developed an overall strategy in the form of official or unofficial documents.

Objectives. The investigation of love has produced several psychological concepts and theories. In addition to general signs of love, several cross-cultural differences were also identified. The aim of the study was to verify the previously created a 5-factor model of love, which was created on the basis of individual representations of love of young people in Slovakia, and to find out whether this model is also valid in a cross-cultural Czech-Slovak comparison. Sample and procedure. The research was conducted on a sample of 397 respondents from the Slovak Republic (M=23.1, SD=2.54, men=115; women=282) and 441 respondents from the Czech Republic (M=21, 5, SD=2.15; men=107; women=334) who were aged 18–29. The research was focused on this age cohort due to the fact that for this period of the so-called emerging adulthood is important to explore in the area of relationships and love. Methods. Quantitative methodology was used in the research, the research was carried out with the help of an electronically administered questionnaire. In the questionnaire, a previously verified scale of Individual representations of love was used. In the questionnaire were included questions concerning selected characteristics of partner relationships and demographic data. Analyses. The data were processed by confirmatory factor analysis separately for the Czech and Slovak samples, further by correlation analyses and linear regression analysis, which showed relationships with other variables. Results. The results showed in both countries 5 factors of individual representations of love: 1. physical love, commitment, building and searching, 2. spiritual love, 3. power and positive benefits of love, 4. the opposite side of love and 5. biological and self-centred love. Age and strength of religious faith were shown to be predictors of individual factors. Limits. Since the research was not conducted on a representative sample and it mostly consisted of female university students, the possibilities of generalization are limited. This quantitative research also worked with a selected limited number of meanings of love.

The present study focused on establishing partnership in late life via the internet. By analysing in-depth interviews with five women and four men aged 60-66, the study aimed to describe how heterosexual elderly people conceptualize a serious relationship established in late life, whether these relationship have some characteristics, and what the characteristics are. The participants reported various ideasabout the home setting for a new relationship. They ranged from keeping separate households to the slow establishment of a joint household, which could be followed by marriage. Although the conceptualization of a serious relationship was diverse, the participants were similar in sharing the expectation of having partnered sex and, most importantly, in sharing the fear of potential and unpredictable commitments that establishing a serious relationship may bring and that may be associated with ageing or, more precisely, with their beliefs about ageing. This concern determined the dating processes: the preference for a young partner, the need to have an open relationship with temporally seaprated households, or a relationship with strictly maintained separated households. As a recommendation, it seems essential to work with ageing stereotypes in elderly people who struggle with finding a partner for a serious relationship.

Předkládaná práce se zabývá problematikou navazování vážných vztahů v pozdním věku. Cílem kvalitativně zaměřené studie bylo na základě analýzy hloubkových rozhovorů s pěti ženami a čtyřmi muži ve věku 60-66 let., kteří hledají partnera pomocí internetu, popsat, jaké mají starší heterosexuální lidé představy o vážném vztahu navázaném v pozdním věku, zda a případně jaká mají specifika. Ve výpovědích se objevovaly různé představy, od zachování oddělených domácností, přes postupné směřování ke společnému soužití, až k případnému sňatku. Byť se touha po vážném vztahu pojila s rozdílnými významy a představami o uspořádání domácnosti, společná byla obava z možných či nepředvídatelných závazků vyplývajících (mimo jiné) ze stárnutí, respektive z představ o stárnutí. Obavě ze závazků se pak podřizovaly další aspekty seznamování, např. preference mladších partnerů, touha po vztahu s dočasně oddělenými domácnostmi či po dlouhodobě odděleném soužití. Pro praxi se ukazuje, že je třeba reflektovat stereotypy o stáří, a to i u starších lidí, kteří v této životní etapě chtějí, ale nemohou najít nového partnera.
