In the 1950s Leary developed the model of an interpersonal diagnosis of personality. The author stated that communication can be described along two dimensions: the dominance - submission dimension and the cooperation - opposition dimension. On the basis of this model, Leary, Wubbels, Creton and Hooymayers developed a map to model interpersonal teacher behaviour. This model is adapted to the classroom by dividing Leary's original two dimensions into the eight behaviour types: leadership, helpful/friendly, understanding, student, responsibility/freedom, uncertain, dissatisfied, admonishing and strict. The model has been used in The Netherlands in the development of an instrument; The Questionnaire on Teacher Interaction (QTI), to gather students' and teachers' perceptions of interpersonal teacher behaviour. There are many versions of The Questionnaire on Teacher Interaction (QTI), but in this paper the Australian version of the QTI, which is more economical, is described. This version consists of 48 items which are descriptions of teachers' interpersonal behaviour. An example from the leadership scale is: This teacher talks enthusiastically about his/her subject and an example from the admonishing scale is This teacher gets angry unexpectedly. The QTI has a five-point response scale, ranging from Never/Not at all, to Always/Very.

The paper is describing the current state of intermediation services in CZ NUTS 2 Region Prague, based on results of ongoing SUPER-SME Project of FP6. It is possible to identify an important role of intermediaries in research, development, and innovation activities. The intermediation aims at optimizing supply of scientific and technological services, with demand of RTDI companies and organizations or any other actors using or interested in using these services, e.g. national or regional stakeholders. S&T intermediary is defined as a public, private, or public/private (non-profit) institution with a mission of optimizing interface between supply of scientific and technological services and demand of an enterprise, groups of enterprises, or any institution in this respect. Universities, research centers, private companies, or technology transfer centers can play a role of S&T intermediary.

E-learning becomes one of the most popular tools for employees' development in organizations. Despite numerous advantages it offers for employers, it is not trouble-free. One of the greatest obstacles is the lack of participants' motivation for full engagement in e-learning training. The study presented in the article confirms that motivation is a factor of involvement in e-learning. The main aims of the study were: to discover the factors influencing trainee's motivation and to know their evaluation of such type of e-learning that is characterized by serial convention and a high level of interactivity.

We examine the role and importance of scientific research in the process of obtaining and scientifically assessing the cultural heritage in museum as a memory institution. This research is a part of a complex approach to the phenomenon of documenting a society’s development and as such, it must give equal attention to tangible and intangible cultural heritage which is often difficult to do in practice. In this context, we focus our attention on eco-museums which aside from preserving and presenting also aim to at least partially revitalize cultural heritage in its natural environment.

Regional Research and Innovation Policy in Action - the Efficient Tools for Regional Catching-up in New Member States (Regions of Knowledge - FP6). The regional practices of innovation policy in eight EU member states are presented in case studies, elaborated for one region in each country with South Moravia representing the Czech Republic. South Moravian innovation policy is analyzed in three fundamental dimensions: strategy formation, policy deployment, and practices at the programme level. These are the constituent elements of the process that was defined by the ProAct consortium as so called 'ProAct policy learning cycle'. The benchmark methodology (The ProAct Benchmarking Framework) was applied in the case studies to explore good practices in regional innovation and research policy. In the study, the role of South Moravian Innovation Centre (JIC - Jihomoravske inovacni centrum) is highlighted.

This article sums up the development of public policy as a scientific discipline and as an object of research and instruction in the Czech Republic. This is presented within a historical context (examining different stages of the development of Czech social sciences even before it was formalized, and the development of its being constituted since the early 1990s) with due regard for the broader cultural, political and institutional context of its formation and application. A characteristic is given of the main streams of research and instruction in the field (with references to key literature, its authors and context). This is followed by a reflection of results and specification of development potentials.

The paper aims to map the field of interest in conversation as a phenomenon in various arts (cultural history, social science, linguistics) in the last few decades, assuming that the field was established in order to differentiate it from other similar notions such as a dialogue. What has become the centre of attention is the acknowledgement of conversation as a social, cultural and linguistic phenomenon, the main function of which in different periods of time and social environments has been that of social stabilization, and the various forms of which can be studied using as sources the oral as well as written records, which enables access to the historical forms of conversational culture. The writer offers a mutual confrontation between several attempts at defining conversation and formulates competences and certain tasks which can be faced by literary research on conversation.

The aim of this study was to analyse the direct and indirect effects of temperament personality characteristics on the resilience and the role of self-esteem in the indirect effect. The research sample consisted of 96 university students. The research sample consisted of 96 college students aged 19 to 30 years (M = 21.75, SD = 2.07). Adults Temperament Questionnaire, Resilience Scale for Adults, and Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale were used. The effects were analysed with a structural model. The resulting model showed good fit: χ2 (2, 96) = .3.974, p = .137, CFI = .986, TLI = .930, RMSEA = .102 (90% CI = .000, .250, PCLOSE = .202), SRMR = .045 and power (.98). The results showed a direct and indirect impact of temperament characteristics on resilience. Negative affectivity and extraversion affect self-esteem (β = –.36, p < .001; β = .21, p = .031; R2 = .233). Negative affectivity showed a direct negative effect on perception of self (β = –.46, p < .001) and planned future (β = –.33, p < .001), and the indirect effect through self-esteem (β = –.11, p < .001 and β = .07, p < .01). Extraversion affects the perception of self and planned future only indirectly through self-esteem (β = –.46, p < .001 and β = .06, p < .01). Identified effects of variables explain the relatively large proportion of the variance of perception of self (R2 = .425) and planned future (R2 = .289). Limitation of the study is the small sample of respondents and its specificity (university students), which does not allow the abstraction on the general adult population. From a practical standpoint, it appears that targeted support of positive self-esteem in individuals who are characterized by the less desirable structure of temperament may act as a compensatory mechanism of the temperament’s effect on the ability to adaptively respond to environmental challenges and difficult situations in life. As an ideal combination seem to be the support/development of positive self-esteem and the ability to control/modify (behavioural) manifestations of temperament.

The paper analyzes the issues related to the problems of commercialization of research and the importance of trust between the partners between science and economy. Commercialization of research, in a broad sense, means all activities related to the transfer of knowledge to economic practice. This process cannot properly take place in conditions of limited confidence of the participating entities. Commercialization is an inherent and

The author of this study deals with the reception of animated films by child viewers. She attempts to clarify the process of how animated stories are understood with regard to the cognitive and emotional skills of children of preschool (4–6) and early school age (7–9). She confirms the theoretical propositions of developmental psychology and supplements them with a qualitative testing of selected age groups. This study aims to outline how children think and apply this knowledge in analysing the process of how they watch animated films, children’s most favourite film genre. The results will not only point to the problems of child viewers, but also of films intended for them.

Slovak Slavistics is the inseparable part of the international Slavistically oriented research milieu. The ‘Jan Stanislav’ Institute of Slavistics of the SAS contributes significantly to this research. Since its foundation in 1995, the Institute dedicates already twenty-five years’ activity to interdisciplinary research of relations of the Slovak language and culture with other Slavic and non-Slavic languages and cultures in both the national and international cooperation. The present study dedicated to 25th anniversary of the foundation of this Institute points especially to the topical coherences, trends, and needs of the institutionalized Slavistic research contextualized with inevitable processes in the scene of the academic science policy in Slovakia. Despite all the intricate factors of the current scholarly research in the humanities, Slovak Slavistic research represents the scholarly and research area, which brings new findings in various contexts of cultural development of Slovakia. The core research comprises the Old Church Slavonic, Latin, Slovak-German, Slovak – east Slovakian and Slovak – south Slavic relations, including the area of the translation of the Biblical texts to Slovak, as well as the research area of linguistic – cultural and historical coherences of the development of the inter-confessional communication.

In the discussions about advertising, a significant place is taken up by the issues related to the attributes of its manipulative effects which are based on the cognitive evaluation of reality represented by the attributes such as rationality, wariness and coldness. The essence of manipulation is to promote personal goals at any cost and increase and maintain the power over others. Manipulation is based on unethical behaviour, intentional lies, blandishment, and lack of moral judgment. Usually, the issues of manipulative effects are studied within the cognitive, emotional and behavioural contexts. This report presents the results of extraction of factor structures of two original authors’ methodologies: POA (Perception Of Advertising; originally: VNR) and POM (Perception Of Manipulation; originally: VNM). By means of the Principal Components factor analysis with Varimax rotation, three factors of Perception of Advertising, which explain 59% of variance, were extracted. These factors were specified as the Cognitive factor - perception of advertising as truthful and knowledge-enriching (Cronbach’s alpha: 0.810), the Emotional factor - emotions invoked in respondents by advertising (Cronbach’s alpha: 0.866) and the Behavioural factor - impact of advertising on the buying behaviour of respondents (Cronbach’s alpha: 0.906). The extracted factors of Perception Of Manipulation explain 50% of variance and were specified as the factor of Honesty - honesty, modesty, morality (Cronbach’s alpha: 0.780), the factor of Manipulation identification - ability to reveal manipulative behaviour (Cronbach’s alpha: 0.766) and the factor of Distrust - tendency to credulity/incredulity towards other people (Cronbach’s alpha: 0.552). Adequacy of the specified structure of factors of Perception of Advertising and Perception of Manipulation is supported by the values of the total explained variance of Cronbach’s alpha, by the mutual inter-correlations among the extracted factors, as well as by correlations between the factor-saturating item and the overall score of the particular factor. The cognitive and emotional elements in the concepts of perception, assessment and attitudes towards advertising have been identified by various authors and the presented concept includes also the attribute of buying behaviour. According to the research results, the elements of manipulative behaviour are more frequently revealed by honest people.

For every museum, an indicator of its orientation is the character of its collection, research and exhibition activity. Collection activity was limited by the quantity of financial means in the 1950s and hence it does not provide a complete view of the museum's orientation. In this regard more can be learned from the museum's research and exhibition activity during the given period. The author deals in his paper with the changes which took place in the Slovak National Museum in Martin from its nationalisation in 1948 to its merger with the Slovak Museum in Bratislava in 1961. Research shows that the Museum responded to change political circumstances in its plans. These were influenced both by an organ of state - the Commissariat for Education and Culture - and by a professional organisation - the Union of Slovak Museums, which recommended dealing with the issue of new installation in Slovak museums.

Moderní technologie a historická metoda

88%
EN
The enormous boom of technologies (mainly electronics) experienced by our world in the last two or three decades has caused a radical change in the understanding of the methodology of science as such, in our context the methodology of social sciences. The postmodern scepticism connected with the possibility of learning the complexity of historical processes and evaluating large collections of resources that cannot be coped with in traditional “human” ways is often eclipsed precisely by references to the potential of modern technologies, which as very efficient tools manage what cannot be done by our weak human power and which correct the human tendency to err. Oftentimes, it is certainly true that these new tools, especially in the application of computers, unimaginably multiply the work capacity of individuals as well as teams. It is however also evident that the formulation of the point and purpose of the application of this capacity continues to be a merely human task. In general, this sense may be seen in learning and measured against the degree of this learning. A cursory look at the current state of historiography reveals that precisely that - the product of all research endeavours - is made the most problematic today. It is a task of the research community to return historical knowledge the position of an instrument bringing besides the undoubtedly subjective evaluation of resources and their testimony also conclusions that are controllably objective, because they have been achieved in a generally accepted and revisable way. At the same time, it is clear that no historical discipline can save itself but that a desirable principle of a historian’s work is the Braudelian ideal of total history, which still has contact points between individual historical disciplines and their resources. Not only does such an approach bring the priceless potential of the harnessing of source testimonies, but it also offers the exceptional possibility of a critical assessment of the conclusions of the individual fields, which must not contradict the conclusions of other disciplines. (Actually, they can, but then it is necessary, on the basis of convincing arguments, to decide whether the conclusion of a single discipline is right as opposed to the others or this single discipline is wrong.) Nevertheless, it is also crucial to know that a mere agreement of the sources and conclusions is not enough. Neither is a logically flawless argumentation model enough. Even here, it is essential to return to time-proven principles – namely that each conclusion should be a logical outcome of a stimulus of a source testimony, in no case vice versa. Free speculations on what a certain source stimulus might mean in total while not contradicting the source testimony, often with an unacceptable lowering of the threshold of argumentation’s sophistication, are at most a hypothesis. A hypothesis becomes a historical conclusion only if there is a generally accepted reason why it should be so. A reader of these lines may feel that I am quoting generally known banalities. My experience, however, takes me to the conclusion that it is a reminder of the frequently forgotten principles without which no historical work may claim scientific activity. We should realise that a historian’s work becomes a science only if it comes through a repeated path from a controllable resource base, through logical and clear methods, to generally acceptable conclusions. Only if these principles are generally not accepted can such absurdities occur that the official evaluation system of our research ostentatiously appraises the formal – not content – characteristics of its outcomes. The scientific quality of a work is determined by a correctly chosen opponent, the language used, the number of pages, the selected publication platform, index, in no case the correctness of the argumentation or the originality and novelty of the solution presented. New technologies and methodologies (even if applied from other scientific areas) are an important part of current research. For instance, it is hard to imagine today’s archaeology without natural-science applications enabling dating, technological interpretations of resources, accumulation and interpretation of many types of ecofacts, computer processing of large information sets, utilisation of digital geodetic methods etc. Once all the ‘bricks’ arising from that have been collected, it is necessary to select the building process, in whose every phase it must be clear what questions we study. In this phase, every scientific discipline relies on the already-mentioned controllable process. A significant prerequisite for its efficiency is the critical awareness of what potential the individual types of resources contain and what potential is contained in the methodologies of individual historical disciplines or methodological applications from the area of other sciences. Banalities again? Perhaps rather an observation that learning about history has clear principles and consequences, the ignoring of which means that the result does not bring new knowledge or that it does not belong in the area of history.
