Aim. The present study is focused on exploring of the relationship between spirituality and irrational beliefs particularly in relation to movement activities in Slovakia and Czechia, i.e., helplessness, idealisation, perfectionism, external vulnerability, and negative expectation.  Concept. Our research has been focused on the investigation, comparison, and correlation between the level of spirituality and irrational beliefs depending on the frequency of sport activities.  Method. The research sample (N = 469) consisted of Slovak and Czech health population aged 18-70 (M = 41.97, SD = 13.14), of which 42.2% were men (N = 198) and 57.8% were women (N = 271). The level of spirituality was identified by means of the Expressions of Spiritual Inventory-Revised – ESI-R (MacDonald, 2000). The irrational beliefs were measured using the Scale of Irrational Beliefs (Kondáš & Kordáčová, 2000).  Results. Research results confirmed the differences between the variables of spirituality and irrational beliefs based on the frequency of sports activities. Also, we confirmed the hypothesis of negative correlation between spirituality and irrational beliefs.  Conclusion. In our study, we focused on the correlations between irrational beliefs and spirituality in group of Slovak and Czech population. Based on our results we can draw several conclusions. Research results confirmed the differences between the variables of spirituality and irrational beliefs based on frequency of sports activities.

Coronary-prone (Pattern A) behavior is considered a generalized strategy to control stress. Irrational beliefs are also generalized expectancies regarding the nature of social and physical stressors. Therapy designed to modify irrational beliefs has been applied in the treatment of coronary-prone behavior, but there has been no demonstration of the relationship between irrational beliefs and coronary-prone behavior. College-age and older males completed the Jenkins Activity Scale and the Irrational Beliefs Test. The data showed that High Self-expectations, Problem Avoidance, and Dependency were negatively correlated with Pattern A behavior for college-age males. Older males showed only a negative correlation between Problem Avoidance and coronary-prone behavior. Contrary to expectation no irrational beliefs were positively correlated with coronary-prone behavior. The conceptual and methodological implications for cognitive modification of Pattern A behavior are discussed.

Research background and hypothesis. The research focus is on university athletes’ justification of cheating in sport. We hypothesised that moral disengagement would be more linked to more favourable evaluations of cheating in sports activities among athletes. Secondly it was hypothesised that justification of cheating in sport would be linked to gender and, accordingly, it would not be associated with experience in sport. Research aim was to reveal the dependence of the athletes’ assessment of cheating in their sports activities and moral disengagement in sport considering their personal factorsResearch methods.  The sample  included  338 (246 male  and  92  female) athletes recruited from Lithuanian universities.The participants completed the Justification of Deception in Sport Scale  (Sukys, Nickus, 2010) and the Moral Disengagement in Sport Scale-Short (MDSS-S; Boardley, Kavussanu, 2008).Research  results.  The  regression  analyses  showed  that  gender  of  athletes  was  a  significant  predictor  for justification of cheating in sport (β  = 0.15, p < 0.01) as male student athletes more justified cheating in sport. Years of involvement in sport were not related with overall justification of cheating in sport. Moral disengagement in sport was a predictor for the overall justification of cheating in sport (β  = 0.35, p < 0.001).Discussion and conclusions. Our study revealed the relationship between moral disengagement in sport and athletes’ justification of cheating in sport. Analysing different forms of cheating it was found that moral disengagement in sport was a stronger predictor for the justification of such deceptive actions that are linked to athletes’ manipulation of the rules of the sports and manipulation with the results of the sports contest. It was established that male student athletes more justified cheating in sport. Research results did not reveal relationship between overall justifications of cheating by years of involvement in sport. However, the analysis of the justification of different forms of cheating showed that students with less sports experience more justified deceptive actions linked to the manipulation with the results of the sports contest, and, on the contrary, less justified other forms of cheating in sport.Keywords: sport, justifcation of cheating in sport, moral disengagement in sport.

A direct correlation between achievement motivation and the attitude of schoolchildren and students towards independent sports activities and passing control standards has been revealed. Conclusions: there are no differences in the correlation between the relationship between achievement motivation and attitudes toward independent sports by gender.
