“…Czech and Slovak psychologists conducted research on many various topics (see Hoskovec, 2012). Some of the research that is still highly regarded today includes studies on children in institutional care (Langmeier & Matějček, 1975), the psychosocial development of children born from unwanted pregnancies (David et al, 1988), dyslexia (Matějček, 1971), the development of sleep and wakefulness in infancy (Dittrichová, 1966), hypnosis (Hoskovec & Svorad, 1969; Kratochvíl, 1970), factors influencing driving behavior (Štikar et al, 1971), sexual behavior (Kolářský et al, 1978), human–computer interaction (Stríženec, 1978), vocational guidance and counseling (Koščo & Fabián, 1977), and discent psychotherapy (Kondáš, 1973). However, with a few exceptions, the scholarly contributions of Czechoslovak psychologists did not penetrate the international consciousness.…”

The study examines the development of psychology in former Czechoslovakia during the period of "normalization" and the challenges it faced under the communist regime. The restricted connection to Western psychology and the regime's control over all aspects of human activity negatively influenced the continuity of development in psychology. The regime demanded conformity, leaving individuals, including psychologists, in recurring states of internal conflict and intellectual discomfort when deciding how much to compromise in their personal and professional lives. The study identifies three groups of psychologists based on their adaptability to regime demands. The first group consists of those who aligned themselves with the regime, allowing them to hold positions of leadership and shape the conceptualization of the field. The second group comprises individuals who actively opposed the regime, facing significant limitations in their educational and career opportunities, and mostly being forced to leave the profession. The third group of psychologists belongs to the apolitical gray zone. A significant portion of individuals in this largest group passively complied with established norms and constraints, accepting the restrictions imposed on the development of Czechoslovak psychology. Fortunately, thanks to the persistent efforts of the proactive members of the gray zone and their willingness to endure significant discomfort, an even deeper decline of psychology during the normalization period was prevented. The study provides insights into the topics of education, research, Western influences, and adaptation to the communist regime within Czechoslovak psychology, illuminating the intricacies of living in that historical period.

This paper summarizes the results of several fatigue studies of bus and truck drivers using different approaches. It presents findings from 24 city bus drivers obtained by the use of biochemical and psychophysiological tests before and after 7 h of driving. It presents an acoustic speech analysis conducted on 34 bus drivers before and after driving. Also, for a small group of city bus drivers, a continual examination of heart rate was carried out by electrocardiorecorder. Questionnaire studies on fatigue are related to the responses of 200 long-distance truck drivers and 107 dump-truck drivers who work in one copper mine. The last approach deals with the analysis of long-distance truck drivers' activities (driving, loading-unloading, resting and sleeping) during trips, based on their individual records. On the basis of these different approaches to bus and truck drivers' studies, clear psychophysiological, speech and subjective changes have been demonstrated and, on a descriptive level, certain symptoms observed during prolonged driving have been interpreted as effects of drivers' fatigue.
