Research studies conducted in field of prosocial behaviour testify to the existence of situational and dispositional motifs of this kind of acting. Aim of this thesis is firstly to map occurence of three of these motifs, specifically: oportunity to gain recognition, reciprocity expectation and social responsibility. Secondly it is uncovering possible dependence of these motifs on age or level of prosociality of pupils in a seccond grade of grammar school. The research part of this project has a center of gravity in a quantitative approach. In this framework is being found truthfulness of hypoteses, whether each motive has with age decreasing or increasing tendency and what is actually the frequency of their occurence. In combination with the nomination method of prosocial behaviour in classroom is also being uncovered possible dependency of level of prosociality on individual factors. The theoretical framework that precedes the research section of this thesis, discusses the evolution of prosocial behaviour and contemporary social perspective on this behaviour. This historical excursion is supplemented by the definition of terms used, the reflection of the role of social and biological factors and formulation of influence of school and family evironment in shaping child's prosocial orientation.

Presented diploma thesis deals with the problematics of communication between the social workers and the children or adolescents. The first three chapters introduce theoretical starting points serving as the base for the following research. Attention is paid to the characteristics of social work, including its legislative definition and methods and techniques with regard to their use in contact with the child's client. The thesis also brings forward the role of the social worker. Briefly, the specifications of the child's age, that are to be taken into account in terms of social work, are addressed - mainly attachment issues and developmental aspects. The fourth chapter is spent on description of the survey involving 19 social workers from the South Bohemian Region. The survey showed, the social workers are familiar with the principles of social work with the children and adolescents and they are careful to follow them in practice. In communication with the children and adolescents they focus mainly on non-verbal communication, recognizing the difference between a child and an adolescent. Due to the respondents, the most important is the social worker's authenticity, the creation and maintenance of secure relationship and the consistency of verbal and non-verbal communication. Unfortunately, the social workers are mostly not interested in expanding their competencies in connection with the acquisition of new social work techniques suitable for communication with the children and adolescents.

The social brain hypothesis (SBH) posits that complex social environments exert a major selection pressure driving the evolution of large brains and intelligence. The hypothesis was first proposed to explain the remarkable cognitive abilities of primates and has since been extended to other vertebrate groups and gained a substantial popularity. Nevertheless, the empirical support is equivocal in virtually every group where the hypothesis has been tested. In this thesis, the SBH is tested in the African mole-rats (Bathyergidae). Mole-rats share a subterranean mode of life and similar ecologies while covering the whole social spectrum, from solitary to "eusocial". The number of brain neurons is considered a better proxy for intelligence than relative or absolute brain size. Therefore, a novel approach, the isotropic fractionator, was used to estimate the total number of neurons and other cells in five brain parts (olfactory bulbs, cerebral cortex, cerebellum, diencephalon and basal ganglia, brain stem) of eleven bathyergid species. This simultaneously allows for examining if and how mole-rats differ from other rodents with respect to brain cellular scaling rules. We found that, contrary to expectations, mole-rats generally conform to these rules, with a few exceptions. They tend to have higher...

Children growing up in the environment of social exclusion acquire values and habits which weaken and aggravate their integration into the school environment. The lack of success of such children at school is followed by limited educational and professional aspirations which reduce possibilities of their social integration. The governmental conception of social integration and involved experts consider the area of education crucial for prevention of social exclusion transfer from generation to generation. The actors involved in the process of education of socially excluded children are NGOs which provide social services supporting and strengthening educational and professional aspirations. The thesis focuses on the influence of schools on educational - professional aspirations of socially excluded children.
