The diploma thesis deals with questions of the culture shock in the internet environment. The aim of the work is to speci fy the problems of the on-l ine culture shock and to create the general view on it. In the fi rst part of my thesis the cyberspace, culture shock and communi ty in the on-line envi ronment are defined. The possibilities and particulari ties of the cyberspace functioning are described from di fferent points of views. The cul ture shock and its form in the on-l ine environment are characterized from anthropological and psychological aspects. At the end of the first part of my thesis the behavior of participants in the on-line communities is described and explained. The second part of my thesis is dedicated to impacts of the culture shock on the internet envi ronment . The standard participant of the Czech internet was defined and therefore certain phenomena were possible to generalize. Possibilities for of the culture shock valuation by di fferent measurements were presented and general standards for its identi fication in the on-line environment were determined. The cont ribution of my thesis is the synthesis of di fferent points of view on the so far unmapped culture shock phenomenon in the internet envi ronment.
