Author(s): Kalina Popova,Dimitar Shtetinski,Katya Stoycheva / Language(s): Bulgarian / Issue: 1/2008

Bulgarian adaptation of Torrance’s creative motivation scale was administered to five samples of high school students (14 – 19 years; n = 106 and 407), university students (17 – 43 years; n = 208 and 130) and adults (17 – 69 years; n = 375). The internal consistency for the retained 18 items (Cronbach’s alpha) ranged 0,78 to 0,84 across samples. Test-retest reliability was 0,77 for a 1,5-month interval (n = 253) and 0,67 for a 3-month interval (n = 112). Creative motivation correlated positively with tolerance for ambiguity and orientation towards achieving high standards in one’s activity (Pearson’s r from 0,31 to 0,39) among high school students (n = 106) and university students (n = 130). Creative motivation’s items were identified that differentiated individuals with high and low tolerance for ambiguity and those with high and low need for achievement. Creative motivation was also related to adolescents’ self-concept (n = 219). Highly motivated individuals showed greater self-esteem (r = 0, 38) as well as greater discrepancy between their Real and Ideal Selves (r = 0,22).

"ASSIMILATE IF YOU CAN; ACCOMMODATE IF YOU MUST!" ASSIMILATION AND ACCOMMODATION AS STRATEGIES OF MOTIVATIONAL EQUILIBRATION

Author(s): Sofia Chirica / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2003

This study is focused on what people do, cognitively, to temporarily feel in control in some learning situations within organizational milieu. The study uses the case of implementation of a new personnel evaluation procedure (i. e. case of learning of a new routine) to explore the doing side of personality. I draw on the concepts already traditional in the cognitive approach– schemes, goals and strategies – to evidence the different strategies that move people from some interpretation of the situation towards their behavioral goals. The central idea of the study is that the types of goals that people set for themselves in a situation are indicative to the assimilativeaccommodative nature of the process of representation of the situation.

"Dokąd zmierzam?" - duchowość jako wymiar osobowości

Author(s): Katarzyna Skrzypinska / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 1/2008

Searching for and description of personality dimensions is one of fundamental problems in contemporary psychology. Researchers most often pay attention to the importance of the questions about meaning in life because they play an essential role in critical moments in human life, when functioning of personality is disordered. Spirituality is related to looking for the meaning of everyday life events. Up to now it has been studies as an element of religiousness or a transcendent dimension of human experience. However, as many results suggest, spirituality may be a separate dimension of personality, moreover, very important in the process of fulfilling the needs for safety, meaning in life, emotional and cognitive needs, etc. Existential and spiritual intelligence play a major role in when analyzing and resolving problems of meaning and values. Additionally, rational and emotional intelligence is also used in this process.

"Dopiero po amputacji będę kompletny” – Body Integrity Identity Disorder jako interdyscyplinarne wyzwanie – zarys problematyki

Author(s): Agata Dudek / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 5/2011

This article draws attention to the ailment known as Body Integrity Identity Disorder (BIID). People aff ected by it are convinced that a particular limb does not correspond to their subjective body image. This discrepancy causing large discomfort is oft en eliminated through amputations. After selecting predominantly exchanged reasons for amputation of healthy limbs “on demand”, the specificity of the BIID is presented with particular emphasis on current research in broadly understood neuroscience. Research suggests congenital dysfunction of the right superior parietal lobule. Th e last part of the article lists the examples of the legal, ethical and social problems that may be associated with BIID, while stressing the role of neuroscience in attempts to solve these dilemmas.

"Kwestionariusz przekonań politycznych": własności psychometryczne

Author(s): Gabriela Czarnek,Piotr Dragon,Paulina Szwed,Bogdan Wojciszke / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 41/2017

The goal of this article is to present the psychometric properties of the Political Beliefs Questionnaire. It consists of four subdimensions: religious fundamentalism and xenophobia, which form the dimension of cultural beliefs; and acceptance of capitalism and anti-welfare, which form the dimension of economic beliefs. We present evidence for the validity of the questionnaire in identifying political beliefs on the rightleft dimension. Analyses were performed on a set of multiple samples (total N = 1673). Evidence for the theoretical validity was provided by confirmatory factor analysis, correlations with other – conceptually related – constructs, and a moderation of the strength and direction of the correlation between the cultural and economic beliefs dimensions by political sophistication. Concurrent validity of the questionnaire has been demonstrated based on the criterion of declared voting choices. The reliability of the questionnaire was evaluated based on a measure of homogeneity and absolute stability. The results indicate the good psychometric properties of "Political Beliefs Questionnaire".

"Madness" in the fields. Analytical mediations

Author(s): Monique Selim / Language(s): English / Issue: 24/2009

This article focuses on the analysis of the relationships that the ethnologist forms during fieldwork. The author attempts to define the double logic that innervates all ethnological research, torn between the cross-cutting subjectivations of the communication partners and the objectivation of social relations. Research examples are used to illustrate the argument which reviews the different relations between anthropology and psychoanalysis.

"Skala typów przywiązania do miejsca" według typologii Davida M. Hummona (1992): ustrukturyzowana jakościowa metoda badania przywiązania do miejsca zamieszkania

Author(s): Alan Mandal,Marcin Moron / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 41/2017

The article presents the description of the construction stages and results of the validity analysis of Type of Attachment Scale, based on the typology of place attachment by David M. Hummon (1992). The Scale consist of descriptions of two types of attachment: everyday and active attachment, and three types of lack of place attachment: alienation, place relativity, and placelessness. A subject is ask to indicate which out of the five that are presented the description best suits their own relation toward their place of living. An examination of psychometric properties and validity of the Scale was conducted in a series of 3 studies on 912 participants. In the study 1 were 586 participants in age between 18 and 72 years (50% female). The participants filled out the prepared Type of attachment scale, Place attachment scale (Williams, & Vaske, 2003), a sociodemographic survey, and series of questions about the affective attitude toward their place of living. In the study 2 were 274 participants in age from 16 to 72. The participants filled out the Type of attachment scale, Place attachment scale and identity scale (Lewicka, 2012), and Scales measuring agency and communion (Wojciszke, Szlendak, 2010). In the study 3, with 52 participants, the reliability of the Scale was examined by test-retest procedure. The obtained results showed that Types of attachment scale is a reliable and valid measure of person-place relations according to categorization by Hummon (1992). Types of place attachment, included in Type of attachment scale, demonstrate a distinguishable profiles of sociodemographic and psychological characteristics. Individuals who identified themselves with everyday and active attachment were significantly stronger attached to the place than the other types of lack of attachment, differing with each other according to the length of residence and a level of place inherited dimension. Non-attached types have a similar profiles, that indicates a low place attachment. The place relativity type can be described as the lowest attached, with the highest mobility, the shortest length of residence and the weakest bond according to earlier generation presence in the place of living. Alienation was connected with neutral of negative attitude toward the place, and was described by a positive correlation with the European identity. A placeless type was reflected by a weak place attachment and low local identity, but a positive correlation with agency.

"Vous êtes gentil" versus "C'est clair": Impact de l'étiquetage sur le pied-dans-la-porte?

Author(s): Marie-Amélie Martinie,Valérie Fointiat / Language(s): French / Issue: 28/2011

The aim of the research is to explore the consequences of labeling (social labeling versus functional labeling) in the foot-in-the-door paradigm. As expected, social labeling increases the foot-in-the-door effect, functional labeling decreases it. Moreover, when labeling combines functional and social dimensions, a foot-in-the-door effect was yet observed. Results are discussed in reference to self-perception theory

"ТЕАТР ДЛЯ ДІАЛОГУ": НА ПЕРЕТИНІ З АКТИВІЗМОМ І ТЕРАПІЄЮ?

Author(s): Olha Velymchanytsia / Language(s): Ukrainian / Issue: 1/2015

This paper deals with a theatrical practice that became widespread during the events of Euromaidan – "Theatre for Dialogue". The studying of Augusto Boal’s "Theatre of the Oppressed" technique, which is the basis of "Theater for Dialogue", is primary in the analysis. "Theatre of the Oppressed" is not purely theatrical phenomenon – it lies at the inter-section of activism and social therapy. Being the reaction on the totalitarian regime in Brazil, "Theatre of the Oppressed" technique has become widespread all over the world, mainly in the areas with military and civil conflicts. So as soon as Ukrainian people faced severe social and political challenges, this theatrical technique reached our cities through its practitioners from different countries.

(Nie)koniecznie realizm – uwagi krytyczno-afirmatywne do perspektywy realistycznej w pedagogice

Author(s): Krzysztof Maliszewski / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 2/2016

The “reality” is an important category of pedagogical thinking. Education generates enormous layers of simulations today. But realism as an epistemological stance – at least in some shots – it is not able to meet this category. The text shows the dysfunctionality of disputes and reviews in the humanities (including those in pedagogy) that are carried out according to the dualistic division of the epistemological basis in philosophy between realism and idealism. Paradoxically, it could dissuade the interest in reality as a crucial category for education and pedagogical thought. The tradition of realism is worth to read again and look for its potential, but it can’t mean building a museum in the midst of debates in the humanities. You need to open realism to a dialogue and an experience.

(Prze)pisać siebie. O Zeszytach Piotra Rawicza

Author(s): Anna Ciarkowska / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 5/2015

Piotr Rawicz, a French-speaking writer of Poland-Jewish origins, left behind his "Zeszyt"- an unique diary, containing a huge collection of notes, writings and poems, which over the years were all rewritten by the author. "Zeszyt" is a kind of overlapping “double text” in which two perspectives of creating the author's identity are presented. Autotherapy based on writing practice reveals mechanisms of working through a post-war trauma - an experience which undergoes symbolic representation. The aim of the article is to analyze Rawicz’s text and the relations between the performative act of writing and traumatic memory.

A child’s loneliness in the family as a challenge for modern pedagogy

Author(s): Grzegorz Godawa / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2014

The problem of loneliness has become more and more common in society. It affects the family which is a place of physical and spiritual closeness. A child’s isolation in the family is related to many factors. It may be caused by the parents’ emotional indifference or the child’s serious illness. The disturbances may be painful for the child who often cannot fight the sense of isolation. Attempts to counteract the sense of loneliness are connected with pedagogical action. It should be based on permanent values which extend the scope of support offered to the family. Strengthening the family system makes it possible to overcome the child’s sense of loneliness.

A comparison of WISC-R and WAIS-R (PL) scores of children and adolescents in a longitudinal study

Author(s): Krystyna Sochacka / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2016

D. Wechsler’s tests were used to examine the same group of subjects within the intellectual norm (N = 31) twice over an interval of 13 years: the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC-R; the subjects’ mean age was 8 years) and the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS-R; mean age – 21 years). Each measurement was carried out by the same person. Based on 62 protocols (answer sheets), intelligence quotients, scaled subtest scores, and factor scores obtained using WISC-R were compared both with the normalized version of WAIS-R (PL) (2004) and with the version of WAIS-R (PL) from before normalization (1996). Statistically significant differences were found between the results obtained using WISC-R and the normalized version of WAIS-R (PL). There is no such difference between WISC-R and the earlier version of WAIS-R (PL), from before normalization. Implications for clinical practice are discussed.
