The main aim of this study was to focus specifically on the area of self-care and identify correlation between self-regulation and performed activities in the sphere of self-care. In this study, self-care is conceptualized as a much broader phenomenon. Instead of focusing only on health, physical well-being, psychological well-being and personal development are seen as important parts of self-care. Self-care contains a self-regulatory activating and inhibiting component. For this reason, we also constructed and verified structure a new questionnaire for measuring performed actions in the sphere of self-care: Performed self-care actions. 713 respondents participated in the research. Based on the factor analysis three factors of questionnaire Performed self-care actions were extracted. The results supported strong, positive correlations between self-care self-regulation and self-care performed actions.

The aim of work is to find out how self-control influences word associations. The research presented herein provides new insight into manifestations of self-control. Experimental study is based on the Strength model (Baumeister et al., 1998), which assumes that self-control relies on limited resources of ego which become depleted with increased exercising of self-control (Ego depletion). The aim of this experiment was to verify in an empirical manner that the impairment of self-control can be manifested in word association tests. Continuous word association test (Kondáš, 1979) was used in this experiment. Distinct indicators of continuous word associations were divided into the following 4 categories; verbal dynamics, abnormalities in association, errors in the reproduction of association reactions and the overall number of mistakes. Parallel task and "e letter" crossing out exercises were used in order to impair ego resource. One-Way ANOVA was used in the analysis. The results of the study indicate that impaired self-control, induced by the "e letter" crossing out task, increased verbal dynamics. According to the obtained results, Continuous word association test provoke automatic processes. Further important indicators of impaired self-control were increased perseverations of potentially conflicting word 'control', erroneous reproductions of potentially conflicting word 'explosions' and the overall indicator of mistakes in conflict word 'explosions and control'. The experiment results show an increase in the number of mistakes of word association production when self-control is impaired.

Time is ubiquitous to our everyday life. Therefore, the current research was conducted with the aim to further elucidate the nascent topic of executive resources recruitment in human prospective timing. For this purpose, a specific within-subject experimental procedure was conducted. Participants (N = 43) completed a timing task (reproduction of intervals) and tasks tapping three core executive functions (working memory, inhibitory control and cognitive flexibility), under single and dual-task conditions. Statistical analysis of the interference effect revealed disruption of timing similarly under all three core executive loads. This was reflected in under-reproductions of intervals in comparison to control conditions. Furthermore, an analysis revealed a significant effect of duration, thus, timing impairment was observed in longer durations, not in the shortest one. For an interpretation of the results, an executive-gate model (modification of an attentional-gate model) was used. The results and limitations are further discussed.
