The literature can be used as a means of teaching during History lessons. It illustrates different kinds of facts and events from the past and helps to create problem situations which require searching for solution. In conjunction with the active teaching methods, it helps in the independent inquiry into knowledge. Fairy tales could be analysed during teaching History and Society in the secondary school. They contain the image and experience of the past pointing to the typical practice of the era. In addition, the information on how children were brought up and how the adult character was tried to be shaped allows in a good way to trace ideals and goals which were pursued.

According to the data from the World Health Organisation (Pużyński S., 2000), over 1300 people in the world are killed every day as a result of attempted suicides. The number of suicidal attempts is probably about fifteen times higher. There are two dominating motives of suicidal behaviours – a death wish and a wish of affecting the surrounding community. Inventories for suicide risk assessment are of particular use in diagnostic and therapeutic work. With reference to Frankl’s therapeutic approach, one ought to underline an important role of shaping and developing interests in the suicide prophylactics and in psychocorrection as well. The interests are of both cognitive as well as, what is particularly important, of affective character.

Consumer loyalty is a powerful source of competitive advantage. Managers should pay more attention to the factors that could improve the long-term relationship between consumers and companies. The aim of this study is to explore predictors of customer loyalty in the retail bank sector in order to identify the effect of stability perceptions in addition to customer satisfaction and service quality which have been traditionally accepted as the primary predictors of customer loyalty, especially for services. Another purpose of the study is to investigate the moderating effects of gender, age and income on the mentioned relationships. A random sample of Croatian bank customers was surveyed to collect information on customer perceptions and behaviours in relation to satisfaction with service quality, stability and loyalty. The research results revealed that service quality, consumer satisfaction and stability perceptions have a significant impact on consumer loyalty. Furthermore, age has a moderating effect on the relationship between satisfaction and loyalty as well as on the relationship between quality and loyalty. Thanks to the specialty of the banking sector, gender, age and income moderate the relationship between perceived stability and loyalty.

The paper presents finding from analyses conducted in order to (a) prepare a pool of items measuring a wide range of purposive avocational behaviors and (b) empirically categorize these behaviors. The analyses were conducted on a pool of 209 statements describing behavioral acts and using a frequency response scale. The statements were taken from Oregon Avocational Interest Scales (ORAIS) by Goldberg (2010). The group of participants consisted of 801 people aged 16–72 (M = 29.71, SD = 12.69). A series of exploratory analyses was conducted on a reduced pool of items (by removing these poorly differentiating). As a result, 135 behavioral acts were grouped into 17 categories. Further analyses showed that these 17 categories can be grouped into 4 or 2 interpretable higher-order factors, which meaning is similar to personality metatraits.

The aim of the article is to present the Polish version of the Pet Attachment Questionnaire and its psychometric properties. The tool is used to measure both the strength and quality of attachment of the owner to the animal. Authors of the original version indicate that the strength of the attachment to a dog is often considered without any theoretical background. On the other hand, the quality of the relationship is reflected in the attachment style, mainly through two dimensions: anxiety and avoidance, taken from Bowlby’s theory. The Polish version was created for dog owners. The study was attended by 119 dog owners. The results confirmed the two-factor structure of the tool and high reliability. The questionnaire was shortened to 24 items to achieve better psychometric properties. It has been shown that the results of both subscales are significant predictors of owners’behavior towards their dogs and that the anxious attachment is positively related to the intensity of depressive symptoms.

The presented work touches upon the issue of influence of training on excitability in domestic dogs. Excitability has been tested with the use of a Canine Behavioral Assessment & Research Questionnaire (C-BARQ) questionnaire (translated in Polish). The analysis covered influence of training (Obedience, Mantrailing, Agility and Frisbee) on excitability of dogs and tests related to possible existence of any relevant differences between dogs subject to various types of training and trained by more or less experienced guides with their experience determined not only by working with dogs in practice, but also by acquisition of reliable theoretical knowledge in the field of behaviour and training of dogs. Additionally, hypotheses relating to trends of the differences have been tested. The test has shown relevant differences between the tested groups, which confirmed the probable influence of training and knowledge of a guide upon the level of excitability in domestic dogs. The analyses have shown that there are relevant differences in the level of excitability between a group of dogs subjected to training and the one, which was not subject to training as well as between dogs guided by people, who acquire professional knowledge in the field of behaviour and training of dogs and dogs guided by people, who do not acquire the knowledge. The assumed existence of differences in excitability in a group of dogs was also confirmed, depending on, whether trainers acquire professional knowledge in the field of behaviour of dogs or not.

Recent studies show that there might be two types of narcissism: grandiose and vulnerablenarcissism. The former correlates with more adaptive psychological profile and high well-being, whereas the latter is associated with maladaptive functioning including negative emotionality. In the current study we examined the relationships between two types of narcissism and satisfaction with life. Additionally, we controlled for Big Five personality traits, because they were shown to be relevant for both narcissism and well being. Total of 233 subjects took part in the study with a range of age 18–39. Vulnerable narcissism was measured with the Polish version of the Hypersensitive Narcissism Scale and grandiose narcissism was assessed with Narcissistic Personality Inventory. Big Five was assessed with the Polish adaptation of International Personality Items Pool Big Five Factor Markers – 50. Satisfaction with life was measured with Satisfaction with Life Scale. We found that only one type of narcissism was significantly correlated with satisfaction with life. Specifically, vulnerable narcissism was negatively associated with life satisfaction, whereas grandiose type did not correlate significantly with it. The mediation analysis revealed that neuroticism and extraversion fully mediated the relationship between vulnerable narcissism and life satisfaction. The obtained results suggest that personality traits explain the level of happiness declared by vulnerable narcissists. This finding is consistent with recent data showing that vulnerable narcissism is highly correlated with personality traits, especially neuroticism.

The current sale of goods and services is distinctly different from the past and it is largely influenced by the use of online marketing as a powerful tool for building a competitive advantage. The difference is that consumers are more sophisticated, and they are better oriented on the Internet where they search for product information and references from other consumers. The overall product sales cycle is prolonged significantly. Traditional sales techniques have no longer such an impact on the consumer as they did in the past. Sales companies in Slovakia have started using social networks because more than 50% of Slovaks use the Internet every day. Social networks, especially Facebook, are a significant phenomenon that affects the whole society. In Slovakia, social networks are used by seven out of ten adults at least once a month and daily usage is on 45% level. This fact is also acknowledged by retailing, which communicates with its potential clients through social networks. According to statistics, young people are the most frequent users, although up to 36% of seniors declare that they use social networks at least once a month. Therefore, it is necessary for retailing to use this form of marketing to influence consumers’ behavior. Based on the primary results, we can claim that social networking sites are being liked more by women than men. This can also be due to the fact that in most cases women are the ones who make purchases.

Current research findings indicate that there are strong connections between individuals' musical preferences and their various personality characteristics. The close relationship between an individual's personality and his/her musical likes and preferences makes us think that these preferences interact with behaviors, which are an extension of the individual's personality traits. This interaction shows itself not only in positive dimensions but also in negative ones. Aggressiveness is a part of personal characteristics and individual behaviors. This study was carried out to discover university students' musical preferences within the framework of various demographic, socio-cultural and musical variables and the correlation between these preferences and aggressive behaviors. Individual and relational screening models were utilized in this study. The study was carried out with 308 students studying at different faculties of Selçuk University. As the data collection tools, the researchers used 'personal information form,' intended for discovering learners' musical preferences and the correlation between these preferences and various variables and 'aggression scale' intended for determining the level of aggressiveness.

In this article, the relation between fear of the uncertainty and misogyny, the roots of which are rooted over thousands of years and continue to exist today as in every age, are discussed. The history of culture and civilization is the history of humankind controlling uncertainties by setting down boundaries and rules for themselves. Since the oldest states, where potency became abstract and institutional, potency and man have become identical. It is seen in myths and rituals, which are circulated as the instruments of legitimization of power, man is related with potency and social order whereas woman is encoded as a threat to the order, thus a potential danger. The representation of woman as disorderly and eerie in mythical and religious speeches reveals that misogyny has deeper roots, rather than being just a sexist and a moralistic reaction. Misogyny that we face today is the socio-psychological remnant of the primordial fear of uncertainty and the patriarchal domination that has lasted for thousands of years with its historical, imaginary and logical ties. These relationships can be shown via metaphoric, allegoric or symbolic items in the myths, fairy tales, practices of name giving. Water is often associated with women as the main metaphor of uncertainty due to its fluidity. Snakes, saying and some other symbols, which are occasionally encountered as metaphors for the woman, are the words that symbolize the danger, the fear of uncertainty.

Although it is the world’s largest recipient of remittances, India lacks information about the investment behavior of its remittance receiving households. Using data from Reserve Bank of India and the Tobit analysis, this paper examines how remittances, different household and migrant characteristics have affected both the propensity to invest and the amount of investment by the remittance receiving households. The findings have significant implications for policy purposes. For example, government programs can create incentives for older migrants to have more remittance transfers. Remittance money used for children’s education could be matched to create robust flow of educational investments.

Cel badań. Celem badania było sprawdzenie, czy kobiecość i męskość mają związek z ogólną emocjonalnością wyrażoną w postaci emotikonów. Celem badania było również zbadanie relacji pomiędzy typami płci psychologicznej a ilością wyrażanych emocji (rozumianych jako liczba emotikonów) w sytuacjach odczuwania smutku, strachu i gniewu.Metodologia. Badanie zostało przeprowadzone w formie internetowej na 50 kobietach i 50 mężczyznach w wieku 18-59 lat. Do badania włączono 31 kobiet oraz 22 mężczyzn, których płeć psychologiczna została określona jako kobieca lub męska.Wyniki. Zastosowane analizy pozwoliły stwierdzić, że istnieje zależność pomiędzy poziomem kobiecości u mężczyzn a ogólną emocjonalnością wyrażoną za pomocą emotikonów. Wykazano również, że kobiety z płcią psychologiczną męską wyrażają więcej emocji w sytuacji wywołującej emocje gniewu niż w sytuacji wywołującej uczucie smutku.Wnioski. Przytoczone badania w części teoretycznej pokazują, że kobiety mają większe przyzwolenie na wyrażanie emocji, dlatego możliwe jest, że mężczyźni, którzy mają wysoki poziom kobiecości, utożsamiają się z przyzwoleniem na większe wyrażanie emocji. Również badania przytoczone we wprowadzeniu pokazują, że mężczyźni mają większe przyzwolenie na wyrażanie emocji w sytuacji gniewu. Możliwe, że kobiety z płcią psychologiczną męską utożsamiają się z mężczyznami pod tym względem. Warto zaznaczyć również, że wiele osób posiada płeć psychologiczną androgeniczną lub nieokreśloną, a nie jednoznacznie męską lub kobiecą.
