The anchoring of the prototypicality and categoryality criteria in the study of the social representations implies the achievement of a congruence between the frequency of occurrence and the average rank of occurrence of the elements that make up these representations (as an exception, according to the researcher’s predilections, instead of the average rank of the occurrence of a term, the average rank of the relevance of the same term may be used in the association). The previously mentioned congruence can be obtained either traditionally - by calculating the Spearman’s correlation coefficient - or in a less usual way - through the tabular technique of an investigative procedure consisting of five distinct phases - data collection, the calculation of frequency and average rank indicators, table making, table reading, the creation of categories.

The paper discusses the connection between parenting style and the scope of the conflict between parental and business roles. For a parenting style, we used the concept of Dianne Baumrind (1966/2002), who defined three basic types of a parent-child relationship: authoritarian, authoritative and permissive. The problem of conflict is accessed through the theory of work-family conflict, the Greenhaus and Beutell model (Greenhaus and Beutell, 1985), according to which the impact of work on a family consists of three sub-dimensions: time-based conflict, strain-based conflict, and behaviour-based conflict. The survey involved 204 respondents – employed parents with at least one child aged 3 to 16 years. The results of the research have shown that the authoritarian and the permissive parenting style is accompanied by a more obvious conflict of parental and business roles, while the positive effect of employment is linked to the authoritative parenting style. Implications of the obtained findings show that business and family responsibilities enable parents to participate in multiple roles, that can be used to promote their growth and development and better functioning in the parental role.

This research approach is based on the belief that addressing the challenges faced by parents who have children with disabilities in their care requires a thorough understanding of the attitudes that govern the daily behavior of people around them. Parents, who have a child with disabilities, certainly live a multidimensional challenge that life has given them without the right to reproach. Moreover, regardless of the circumstances in which emotional suffering occurs, parents have to cope with the most difficult situations imagined. Social exclusion is not just a result of the circumstances of the moment, but also an impact on the future perspectives of the affected person. The phenomenon of social exclusion of parents who have children with disabilities in their care is a necessary social phenomenon to prevent, because at the moment it can not be avoided. In most cases, parents blame themselves a great deal for their child’s suffering. The self-emotional references, the need for difficult choices, and the attitude of society disarm parents against the unknown, they using all their efforts and resources to overcome such situations. How many soul mishaps, hesitations and reconciliations with oneself and others are hiding behind this simple situation. In spite of maximal mobilization, it does so to a certain point

Drawing on ethnographic data collected over a five-year period, this study addresses the complex topic of what constitutes meaningful lives. This research examines restaurant employees’ accounts of meaningfulness in and outside their workplaces. The meaning they ascribe to their jobs and activities external to work reveals five categories of meaningfulness: Helping, Mentoring, Expanding, Belonging, and Supplementation. Regardless of popular opinion, which marks restaurant work as meaningless, the data show how and why restaurant employees construct meaningfulness from the intrinsic and extrinsic rewards of their jobs. Additionally, this investigation sheds light on how social constructions of meaning have the potential to contribute to and diminish one’s sense of meaningfulness. This study provides a more comprehensive and inclusionary perspective of the related concepts of meaning, meaningfulness, and meaningful work.

Physical training is one of the determining factors in achieving sports performance in rhythmic gymnastics, having the role to support the technical training, by conferring effectiveness in all the competition trials. The study’s goal is to better the physical training for the gymnasts aged 8-10 by including in the training nonspecific means, focused on the developing the strength of the trunk-stabilizing muscles. In our research, 28 gymnasts participated voluntarily, divided into two groups: experimental (14 subjects) and control (14 subjects). The pedagogical experiment took place between 06.09.2017 - 28.05.2018, during which we intervened in the preparation of the experimental group by applying non-specific means of developing the strength of the trunk stabilizing muscles. The control group followed the usual training program. Both groups of subjects (experimental and control) were tested in the initial and final experiment stage by means of two rhythmic gymnastics control trials that evaluated the strength of the abdominal and back muscles. The comparative results in the two groups at the final evaluation revealed statistically significant differences in the two control trials applied. According to this study, the results obtained demonstrate that the nonspecific means used for the physical trainings in the female athletes from the experimental group facilitated getting significantly improved values of the strength of the trunk-stabilizing muscles compared to the subjects in the control group.
