The aim of the study was to investigate reliability and validity of the Turkish version of the Altruism Scale. Data was collected from 94 women (%33.3) and 188 (%66.7) a total number of 282 participants via a web-based online questionnaire software, www.surveey.com. Participants completed Altruism Scale, Empathic Tendency Scale (Dokmen, 1988) and Demographic Information Form. According to exploratory factor analysis results, it was decided to use two sub-scales as helping and philanthropy which explain 35.58% of total variance. A confirmatory factor analysis (CFQ) with a new sample of 356 participants showed that this two factor structure is appropriate. Also, the correlation between Altruism Scale and Empathic Tendency Scale was examined to check external validity and it found as .36. Internal consistency coefficients, test-retest reliability correlations and split-half correlation coefficients were also calculated to check the reliability of the scale. The Cronbach’s alpha value of the helping and philanthropy sub-scales were found as .81 and .70. Split-half correlation coefficients was found as .74 and test-retest reliability was found as .83. In the regards of this information, Altruism Scale was found to have essential reliability and validity to use in Turkish sample.

The subject of the present paper is academic autonomy as one of the fundamental principles for the functioning of the higher education institutions. The need to examine it is necessitated by changes in public attitudes and the resulting new requirements for higher education institutions. This demands the implementation of a multi-disciplinary (philosophical and legal) approach, through which both the notion of academic autonomy and its relationship with the idea of the university are to be explored. The changed attitudes towards the notion of knowledge, motivated by a number of factors (scientific, political, economic), have an impact on the idea of its free distribution and acquisition. This calls for the creation of new models of higher education and the necessary legal regulation of the relations between the higher education institutions and the state, based on a balance between the freedom and autonomy of the academic community and the state control.

Рад припада области клиничке психологије и бави се истраживањем карактеристика афективне привржености код депресивних особа. Провераване су следеће претпоставке: постојање три категорије раних афективних веза; постојање значајног ефекта раних афективних веза на стилове партнерских афективних веза и значајног ефекта депресивности на стилове партнерских афективних веза и интерактивни ефекат раних афективних веза и депресивности на стилове партнерских веза. Истраживање је спроведено на 129 испитаника: 64 депресивних и 65 душевно здравих, без симптома депресивности. За утврђивање депресије, након дијагностичког интервјуа, примењена је Бекова скала депресивности и ММПИ-201. За процену ране афективне везаности примењен је Упитник за процену афективног везивања адолесцената и одраслих, док је за процену партнерског афективног везивања примењен Упитник за процену блиских релација. Применом таксономске анализе потврђена је претпоставка о постојању три стила раних афективних веза. Генерални линеарни модел је потврдио претпоставку о постојању статистички значајног ефекта стилова ране афективне везаности на стилове партнерске афективне везаности. Није се потврдила претпоставка да постоји значајан ефекат депресије на стилове афективне везаности у партнерским односима, нити да постоји интерактивни утицај депресије и раних афективних веза на блиске афективне везе.

This article aims to present the perspective of psychoanalytic periodization age of the school students from the initial stage of primary education. In psychoanalysis self-concept is part of the personal sphere and its content influences the perception and the perception of people for their determination and to build his idea of a specific human being. The period of primary school age, according to psychoanalytic periodization is called “Latent period” covering 6-7 years of age and adolescence. In this particular phase of child development, sexual development according to Sigmund Freud as if interrupted. The interests of children in this period focused primarily on communicating with their peers and school activities. With knowledge in school are enriched the intellectual and moral and aesthetic feelings. Sensory knowledge is only one part of the total knowledge of the individual, directed to her and to the surrounding world. According to Sigmund Freud social experiences reflect meaningful wishes and interests of individuals and thus structuring one of the most important countries in its formation – values and direction to build a strategy for behavior and activity. All this is a reason to be directed more noticeable children’s attention to the general conditions of school life and school activities and thus provide a full development of their overall personality.

Motivation is the force that makes us achieve our goals and strive for self-improvement. Good teachers know how to motivate their students constructive actions for a brighter future. A motive creates an openness to action, while rationalization and goal-attaining lead to the implementation of human actions.

What does body language reveal about us and others? Darwin was the first to connect facial expressions to behavior patterns that are of much earlier origin than spoken language. According to social anthropologist Edward T. Hall, in a conversation between two people, only 35% of the socially relevant information is passed through words. Nearly 65% of the cues in the direct communication process pass through paraverbal channels. When there is a discrepancy between cues, we usually trust the non-verbal ones. Signs and gestures do not lie; they reflect a person’s true intentions. All mental changes appear immediately at a non-verbal level and the signals received through sight, which are charged with much more information, are directly processed by the brain without being filtered. Body language can also serve as an effective tool of influence. The ability to master it and use it is particularly important in the business world. The article discusses the practical effects of non-verbal communication and seeks to explain why non-verbal codes should not be underestimated.

The article explores the relation between education and learning as a means of its implementation and the new type of socio-historical inheritance at the end of the twentieth century, related to changes in the nature of scientific knowledge itself. In the emerging new pedagogical paradigm, the main task is the transition from a center of knowledge to culture-friendly learning, the intellectualization of the learning process, but also its euro-denomination, is becoming more and more intense. It raises the issue of changes in values and new cultural realities in the process of communication, which builds a new type of the whole personality whose mentality unites culture and education. Innovative approaches to humanistic pedagogy and practice are aimed at developing the principles of developing learning, collaboration and creativity.

Perhaps the most widely accepted definition of consciousness is the one that it has an intentional directedness: it is a consciousness of something, an objective consciousness (Brentano, Husserl). Husserl speaks of the existence of such contents of consciousness, which are objectless, unintentional. Mystical experience is a concept which includes idiosyncratic experiences of union with a deity or a principle, a union with a variety of unique traits. In this article, an attempt is made to define mystical experience as an experience which consists of unintentional content of consciousness. In this way, mystical experience can be demystified and revealed as an ordinary state of consciousness, a consciousness inherent only to man. The positives of the experience are not negated but rather from the theoretical perspective of the discipline of neurotheology mystical experience is defined as an ordinary human state, even in the face of the difficulties of its definition and description.

Как при семиотическом анализе текстов традициональных культур, так и при экспериментально-психологическом изучении мышления в этих культурах обнаруживаются совпадения между мышлением взрослых людей из традициональных групп и мышлением европейских детей. Во многих случаях и то, и другое более или менее одинаково отличаются от мышления человека, получившего школьное образование.

Концепт оријентације на ум представља важан допринос разумијевању интеракције мајке и дјетета у свјетлу афективне везаности. Уобличен је у настојању да се објасни утицај сензитивног родитељства на формирање сигурне афективне везаности. Иако се истраживања у вези с овим концептом спроводе посљедњих двадесетак година, домаћи аутори који су се бавили социјално-емоционалним развојем само су га узгред помињали, и то као један од фактора који утичу на развој сигурне везаности, односно као механизам којим се може објаснити трансгенерацијски пренос образаца афективне везаности. Стога ће се, с обзиром на његов значај и актуелност, у овом раду детаљније представити концепт оријентације на ум. Пажња ће, прије свега, бити посвећена поријеклу и развоју саме идеје, а затим ће бити описани начини процјене те представљени резултати истраживања важних за освјетљавање теоријске позадине овог феномена. Осим тога, биће предочена и веза оријентације на ум с другим концептима насталим у покушају да се додатно расвијетли квалитет интеракције родитеља и дјетета.

The GNH Index provides an overview of performance across 9 domains of GNH (psychological wellbeing, time use, community vitality, cultural diversity, ecological resilience, living standard, health, education, good governance). The index is aggregated out of 33 clustered (grouped) indicators. Each clustered indicator is further composed of several variables. When unpacked, the 33 clustered indicators have 124 variables, the basic building blocks of GNH Index. Weights attached to variables differ, with lighter weights attached to highly subjective variables. A threshold or sufficiency level is applied to each variable. At the level of domains, all the 9 domains are equally weighted as they are all considered to be equally valid for happiness.

The aim of this work is to validate the concepts of the theory of mind as a new research paradigm that allows to conceptualize the inner world of a person, opening the way to the study of everyday psychology. The origins of and predecessors for the development of a new approach in cognitive psychology are analyzed. The theory of mind can be assigned to the general scientific post-nonclassical type of paradigm. New research possibilities of studying the mental capacity to understand the world in children and adults are shown based on the author's own research in collaboration with colleagues and the latest results from the psychological world. The conclusion is made about the high productivity of the new paradigm, as well as its research capabilities in the study of the subjective world and social cognition.

Introduction. The questions of how a pure thought sets the material nature of muscles in motion, and how any child handles them more efficiently than the most perfect robot, remain the simplest in form and the most complex in content. The aim of this research is to identify the topology of reflection, to reveal how a cognizing subject perceives the object and vice versa. This mechanism is considered to be partially computable, but, in general, non-computable. Materials and Methods. The algorithmic side of the thinking mechanism is represented on the basis of the general principle of a Turing machine. But this is only a local property of the model. The sequence of topologically special objects – the Möbius strips – organizes directed reflection as a whole, and this process is no longer computable, as it is inherent in the Turing machine. Results. Relatively independent closed ‘perception-reflection’ cycles represent real experiences of perception in the form of undirected topological structures – Möbius strips. On the basis of these experiences, examples of purposeful reflection and in some geometric sense, the opposite examples of intuitive mental acts can be built. Real reflection involves both types of experience orientation-tapes. An attempt is made to answer the question of the connection of non-material structure with material ‘experiences’ in the process of reflection. Conclusions. In the proposed model, the manifestation of human consciousness is most closely related to the ‘map’ of possible orientations which set the direction of the cascade of reflections. Moreover, the operational manifestations of possible human conscious understanding concern the recording process on the ‘back side’ of a conditional tape loop, and transitions to the other loop in a single cascade.
