VI.5 - Participation in conducting (leading) the most important research projects or art projects over the last six years
Registration Number: APVV-19-0284 Slovak Reseach and Development Agency Ministry of Education, Science, Reseach and Sport of the Slovak republic
Project title: Factors in the selection and achievement of long-term goals for young people in the period of transition to adulthood.
Project solution period: 2020 – 2024
Position in the project: investigator
Annotation: The main goal of the project is to examine the targeting and planning of the future of young people aged 20 to 30. The result should be the identification of long-term goals and the state of planning in the area of development tasks. Given the declared instability, as a characteristic of the observed development period, we plan to find out whether there is a change in goals, variability of target characteristics and whether there is a postponement of achieving development tasks to a later period. This objective is specified through the following objectives: to find out the current state of future planning by reviewing the long-term goals of young people over the period of 20 to 30 years; examine the stability of target ideas and the motivational and self-regulatory context of achieving targets over a given age period; to find out the significance of individual differences in goal-oriented behavior in developmental goals in the period of transition to adulthood, both in setting and achieving them. The topicality of the research is given by the use of current approaches and research methods to clarify the dynamics of motivational-self-regulatory context to goal-oriented behavior in a given age period.

Project title: Processes of self-regulation in achieving distal goals.
Project solution period: 2015 – 2017
Position in the project: principal investigator
Annotation: The key issue of the project was to determine the predictive power and interrelationships of the influencing variables achieving distal goals in the context of self-regulation (in general and in selected areas). Among the broad issues of achieving distal goals, the subject of research was persistence towards the goal, resistance to disturbing influences, and the issue of changing goals, including dealing with unattainable goals. The starting point was the analysis of the solution of the problem through current theories and models of self-regulation and self-control. Persistence towards the goal, resistance to disturbing influences and changes in the goals will be the subject of empirical research also in the development context, in cases of health problems and threats to life.

Project title: Self-Care as a Factor of Coping with Negative Consequences of Practicing Helping Professions
Project solution period: 2015 – 2019
Position in the project: investigator
Annotation: The basic goal of the project was to verify the assumption that self-care is a predictor of experiencing the negative consequences of performing professions. This goal was followed by verification of the assumption of the possibility of eliminating the negative consequences of the practice of helping professions by changing the self-care of people performing the helping professions. Part of the verification of these hypotheses was to find out the current state of self-care of people performing helping professions in social care facilities and the current occurrence of negative consequences of performing helping professions, such as stress, burnout, trauma in representation, dissatisfaction with the work performed. As a result, questionnaires were verified to find out about self-care in the helping professions, to gain knowledge about these issues and to prepare intervention programs aimed at changing self-care and subsequently to eliminate the negative consequences of the practice of helping professions. Intervention programs were provided to social care facilities.
Registration Number: VEGA 1/0748/19 Scientific Grant Agency of the Ministry of Education, Science, Reseach and Sport of the Slovak republic and Slovak Academy Of Science
Project title: Decision-making characteristics and crisis in the process of achieving goals.
Project solution period: 2018 - 2021
Position in the project: investigator
Annotation: The project focused on the role of selected decision-making characteristics, goal characteristics and motivation in the emergence of obstacles threatening the achievement of the goal and the subsequent emergence of the crisis in achieving the goals (action crisis). The project aims to examine which decision-making methods (operationalized as decision-making styles) interact with motivation (internal / external, approach / avoidance) and goal characteristics (eg commitment to achieve the goal, perceived difficulty of the goal, goal self-effectiveness, effort, progress) related to the action crisis. This goal of the project was achieved within the framework of cross-sectional as well as longitudinal research, which also enabled the monitoring of time changes or causal relationships.
