Психичното благополучие – връзки и взаимоотношения с удовлетвореността от работата и живота

Author(s): Ilonka Kovacheva / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 1/2016

Mental health is defined as a state of being in which individuals are aware of their skills, are able to cope with normal stress in life, their labor isproductive and they contribute to the welfare of the community. Dependencies between personal status - age, sex, marital status, number of children, income level and their job satisfaction, life satisfaction, subjective happiness and well-being are explored. The results showed that gender has extremely weak influence on job satisfaction. No dependence has been detected between the marital status and the explored parameters of the respondents. A connection between the satisfaction index and the number of children in the family was discovered. The highest values of positive relationships, life goals, sense of independence and job satisfaction belong to people with three children; those with two children have lower values and persons with one child or no children have the lowest and very similar values. It was found that the degree of job satisfaction does not affect mental well-being. Respondents generally appreciate life in a positive light and have a high result on the scale of mental well-being. A conclusion is made that the cognitive component of life satisfaction and the affective component happiness and subjective well-being are determined by different conditions.

Процесът на деинституционализация на домовете за деца

Author(s): Ivan S. Stoyanov / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 1/2014

It is considered that the child care reform in Bulgaria has started in 1991, when the country ratified the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. In reality however this reform has actually started about ten years later, following a rather critical report of the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child (CRC). The purpose of the reform may be defined as a change of the stereotyped approach towards identification of the need of children at risk and the collectively organized method of work for individualization and placing the best interest of every child in the core of the social intervention. Considering the current tendencies in Europe, in Bulgaria the alternative services for children in risk may also be differentiated into two main groups: services in support of the family and services that substitute the family.

Магическата база на съзнанието

Author(s): Liuben Sivilov / Language(s): English,Bulgarian Issue: 4/2019

The author uses the descriptions of magic in Homer to distinguish between three components of magic: 1) the impression made by magic, which is somewhat similar to the philosophical terms “astonishment”, “amazement”, “surprise”; 2) the capacity for discrimination, which functions similarly to dialectics; 3) its kinship with science, which becomes evident when the achievements of cosmology, art, biopsychology, neurology, are interpreted in a relevant way. Through such an analysis, it becomes easy to identify the magical techniques lying at the basis of human consciousness.

I kissed an NPC, and I liked it: Love and sexuality in digital games

Author(s): Gianmarco Thierry Giuliana / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2019

In this paper we will discuss the presence of love and sexuality in digital games (from ‘80s amateur porn games to the newest released VR ludo-erotic entertainment), both as representation and as experienced simulation. By way of a semiotic framework, we will analyze the following key features that produce the meaning of love and sexuality (L&S from now on) in these texts: the possibility of semantic manipulation, intersubjective enunciation, a cognitive sensibility created through a ratio, and the presence of an economy of meaning. Furthermore, we will look not only at what these games represent and allow players to do, but also at players’ strategies and actions that give love and sex meaning in these games. Finally, this work will allow us to highlight not only the ideological and socio-cultural relevance of love and sex in digital games, but also the limits of a classical semiotic approach to this kind of problem, and consequently to make a general theoretical reflection in the conclusion.

METHODS OF TEACHING GERMAN AS FOREIGN LANGUAGE TO ROMANIAN STUDENTS

Author(s): Georgiana Obadă,Nicoleta SFINȚIȚCHI / Language(s): English Issue: 11/2019

The world is a puzzle constructed of a variety of different language speaking nations, and the individuals’ multilingualism leads to a better communication and cooperation between them. Speaking many languages represents a beneficial method for the process of cognitive development. Moreover, speaking many languages improves the efficiency of the cognitive processes and stimulates the memory; the brain becomes more active, thus preventing degradation by permanently searching for the meaning of and the links between words. Considering the actual requests imposed by the globalization of societies, speaking foreign languages became essential in establishing good social, political and economic relationships with other citizens. Studying, researching, cultural development or even building a career becomes more facile when the linguistic baggage carries more languages. Another argument is favored by scientists’ research who demonstrated that studying a foreign language helps people having more knowledge about their native language because it determines them analyze and understand the previously perceived linguistic phenomena.

BAZELE NEURO-FIZIOLOGICE ALE COMPORTAMENTULUI INTENȚIONAL

Author(s): Dan PSATTA / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 1/2020

The intentionality was brought as a theme of philosophical meditation by Husserl, and his theories had and have a great impact in the Romanian philosophy. The main problem of philosophical thinking of all time was the lack of objective validation. I proposed the functional (neuro-physiological) research of mental activity as a fundamental means of validating the philosophy of the spirit, naming this approach neurophilosophy. From this perspective, most of Husserl's statements are invalid. The mental activity has, from a neuro-physiological point of view, two spheres: one of the receptor type (sensory) within the retro-Rolandic headquarters/associative areas, another of the effector type (action) within an area of pre-Rolandic anatomical projection.Intentionality is not sensory, as Husserl (in the theory of the "intentional object") believed, but is a psycho-motor "hinge" between the two spheres, action-oriented and has, from a neuro-physiological point of view, a very complex mechanism, evolving on the animal scale in specific stages, which we try to demonstrate.

Auto-compasiunea și auto-eficacitateaca – resurse personale în cazul terapeuților

Author(s): Raluca Nicoleta Trifu,Bogdana Susana Miclea,Dana Herța,Smaranda Pușcașu,Horia Coman / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 1/2021

One of the special human qualities is the compassion shown towards our fellow, in special situations, people who live certain states determined by the moments of life they go through. Self-compassion refers to the ability to show compassion, understanding and protection to oneself. It is operationalized by researcher Kristin Neff. Self-efficacy, proposed by Albert Bandura, refers to the perception of self and is related to the belief in one's own abilities, in one's own ability to solve situations. The interest of the study aims the relationship between self-compassion and self-efficacy in the case of a distinct category, that of therapists, professionally faced with situations that require personal resources. Methods: The level of self-compassion was assessed with the Self-Compassion Scale, 26 items, proposed by Kristin Neff. The level of self-efficacy was assessed using the New General Self-Efficacy Scale, the 8-item scale proposed by Gilad Chen & co (2001). Both questionnaires were distributed electronically. The data obtained were statistically analyzed and interpreted. Results: In the professional categories investigated, there are underline links and relations between the two constructs, with professional implications. The results show (1) Therapists have high values in assessing self-efficacy; (2) Therapists have high values of self-compassion; (3) Therapists have a high level of self-compassion and a low level of self-criticism as indicated by the self-compassion sub-scales; (4) There is a direct relationship between self-efficacy and self-compassion; (5) Therapists with high level of self-compassion also have a high level of self-efficacy (6) The level of self-efficacy is influenced by age and professional experience. (7) The level of self-compassion is influenced by age and professional experience Conclusion: The two concepts discussed are important in relation to certain professional categories and under the auspices of situations considered stressful and with emotional burden.

THE CONCEPT OF HABITUS - TOWARDS A COMPREHENSIVE SOCIOLOGICAL THEORY OF CAREER CHOICE

Author(s): Lucian Mocrei Rebrean / Language(s): English Issue: 16/2021

When searching for a sociological perspective on career choice-related problems, the issue of social rationality comes into focus. The labor markets provide structural opportunities, but are jobs simply allocated at a macro-social level, or individually chosen? By looking for an explanation strictly within a macro-social frame of reference, we came to a conclusion that may seem biased: social structure determines professional choices. But Structuralism fails to account for individual free will or social group influence. Group beliefs and values are always confronted with real labor market opportunities. We need theoretical models of career choice that can accommodate both the macro and micro social levels of understanding. We take Pierre Bourdieu's theory of praxis as a middle-range comprehensive theory rather than an all-encompassing explanation because it is not based on a priori statements but on empirical data. The rationality of social actors cannot be understood without comprehending their shared aspirations, motivations, constraints, beliefs and values, all of which are linked to their pragmatic rationality.This notion efficiently describes the permanent negotiations between the micro and macro levels of social existence, leading us to the concept of habitus. The individual physical, practical, emotional and cognitive dispositions that constitute the habitus, are continuously mediated by social structures. Negotiated within specific social fields, career decisions emerge as an interaction between the two levels.

Skuteczność zdalnego motywowania do pracy twórczej – wyniki badań eksperymentalnych

Author(s): Anna Lipka / Language(s): Polish Issue: 2/2021

Objective: The article presents the results of experimental research on the influence of various levels of motivational synergy (the combination of external and internal motivation) on the effectiveness of motivating people to do creative work under time pressure and in remote conditions. Research Design & Methods: The study used a pre-experimental, static group scheme covering 107 people. Three hypotheses on various degrees of the motivational synergy were verified for the criteria of evaluating the products of creative work. The criteria included originality, fluidity, and ideational flexibility. Findings: The research shows that, when fully using motivational synergy, remote motivation has a bigger impact on ideational fluidity than when it does not. Implications / Recommendations: The conclusions of the research assess the impact of full and incomplete motivational synergy in remote conditions on ideational fluidity and the diversity of the effects of creative work. Contribution: The article contributes to the research on motivational synergy as it pertains to creative work, in remote conditions, using an experiment. Thus, it goes beyond the exclusive opposition of external and internal motivation for this type of work, referring to modules of experience. This is the novel contribution of the work. The results can be used to program processes for developing, appraising, and remunerating employees.

Когнитивната наука и репликативните ѝ кризи в контекста на епистемичния анархизъм

Author(s): Georgi Garkov / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 1/2022

The present study attempts to examine the replicative crises in cognitive science from the perspective of epistemological anarchism and the problematic assumptions of nomothetism. A closer look at the history of science suggests replicative crises are not a phenomenon characteristic of low-quality theories or dubious scientific practices, but also a stage that describes some of the most significant and well-tested theories in the history of science. In contrast to the logic of naive falsificationism, reality paints a considerably more complex and even contradictory picture of the process of discovery. Forgoing politically correct narratives, science reveals no less fruitful manifestations of what could be characterized as disorder, irrationality, mysticism and pseudo-scientific biases. And even with respect to well-developed theories one could point to discrepancies with the available facts, beyond the acceptable margin of error. At the same time, however, a potential contribution to the replicative crisis stems from the hidden assumptions of the nomothetic approach – a neglect of the individual mechanisms problem and the contextual interactions problem. Two varieties of nomothetism could be distinguished, respectively: classical one and based on aggregate values one. While classical nomothetism tends to ignore the syncretics of ecological contexts, aggregate-based nomothetism ignores the presence of individual mechanisms and combines them into theoretical constructs that describe “everyone and no one”.

Ситуационно-псохологически подход към персонална охрана на защитени магистрати

Author(s): Svetoslav Hadzhiyski / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 1/2022

This article focuses on the situational and psychological approach that can enhance the effectiveness of the protection of endangered judges, prosecutors, and investigators. The idea was raised that risk assessment and the implementation of security would be more effective if the situation is viewed in a different way from the ordinary approach. The phenomenological view allows for a larger interpretation, which includes personal and external factors.
