Ръкопис за петте стъпала. Горин Но Шьо

Author(s): Miyamoto Musashi / Language(s): Japanese,Bulgarian

When the undefeated samurai Miyamoto Musashi retreated to a cave in 1643 and wrote The Book of Five Rings, a manifesto on swordsmanship, strategy, and winning for his students and generations of samurai to come, he created one of the most perceptive and incisive texts on strategic thinking ever to come from Asia. Musashi gives timeless advice on defeating an adversary, throwing an opponent off-guard, creating confusion, and other techniques for overpowering an assailant that will resonate with both martial artists and everyone else interested in skillfully dealing with conflict. For Musashi, the way of the martial arts was a mastery of the mind rather than simply technical prowess—and it is this path to mastery that is the core teaching in The Book of Five Rings. Written not only for martial artists but for anyone who wants to apply the timeless principles of this text to their life, the book analyzes the process of struggle and mastery over conflict that underlies every level of human interaction.

Българите. Социологически погледи

Author(s): Petar-Emil Mitev / Language(s): English,Bulgarian

The book concerns the fundamental questions set by the founder of Bulgarian sociology Ivan Hadjiiski: Where are we coming from? What have we gone through? How far have we reached? Where are we going? Sociology is a science in which the person puts his imagination and heuristic potential. Sociology is a craft, in the practice of which the outcome depends on the mastery of the techniques and methodologies, the correct observance of rules and procedures. Sociology is a business that requires certain resources and also can reproduce or increase them. Sociology, however, is something else; it is not only a knowledge of society, but it is a public activity. It loses its meaning beyond the public realization or changes it if this realization does not correspond to the scientific credibility.

Психология на преднамереното влияние

Author(s): Georgi Karastoyanov / Language(s): Bulgarian

The presented monograph is a result of many years of practical work and research of the author in the sphere of intentional influence in Bulgaria, USA and NATO structures. It would be of interest to psychologists, sociologists, psychological surgeons, PR and image-maker specialist, managers, and anyone who wants to understand the psychological mechanisms of influence - why do we think what we think, why we feel what we feel, why we act the way we do it, and how other people and the media influence us. In fact, the book does not offer ready-made recipes, but an understanding of the process that enables us to protect ourselves from unwanted influences and to be more effective in achieving our goals.

Индивидуални различия при вземане на решения

Author(s): Georgi Karastoyanov / Language(s): Bulgarian

The monograph attempts to provide an empirically grounded answer to a number of discussional scientific issues related to individual decision-making differences by building a comprehensive conceptual model and constructing a specifically selected toolbox as a prerequisite for creating an empirically validated methodology in the field of research of individual differences in decision-making. Original empirical results have been obtained confirming that the style of decision-making is not identical to cognitive style (nor is it a subset, but contains a cognitive component that does not exhaust any of the styles) and is related to mental self-regulation due to individual differences, generated by the ways of satisfying the hedonistic motif (regulatory focus and fashion), the need to control excitement (stress control), and the need for connectivity and increased self-esteem. These results are a prerequisite for the further development of individual decision-making research as well as the decision-making theory itself, because it allows for a fuller consideration of individual differences and their interaction with the characteristics of the situation and the problem that is being solved.The methodological basis of the study is the cognitive survival theory of Seymour Epstein. The results and theoretical summaries obtained empirically confirm the validity of the global personality theory that has the potential to explain new scientific problems, incorporating private theories such as E. Tory Higgins' motivational theory and Mark R. Leary's sociometric mechanism.

Adolescent psychosocial development in Brno: An ELSPAC Study 2005–2011

Author(s): / Language(s): English

Our longitudinal findings are in line with published research describing current adolescence as a dynamic stage of life during which an individual‟s personal participation or influence on his or her development sharply increases. This leads, amongst other things, to higher variability of developmental changes and to an erosion of some stereotypes about the psychological and social life of adolescents. The respondents of the Brno longitudinal study (ELSPAC) represent a new generation of Czech adolescents. They were born in the time of turbulent social changes when political, economic and cultural conditions were significantly changing bringing along shifts in lifestyles, social norms and values of all generations including the parents of current adolescents. It can be hypothesised this society-wide change partially moderated the traditional inter generational conflict between adolescents and adults. We can speculate that the adults, not only the adolescents, partially spent the past two decades searching for a new personal and social identity (e.g. career changes, social security decrease, increase in personal freedom and responsibility of own life course). What was appreciated in the beginning of the 1990s as new possibilities – e.g. freedom in opinions and attitudes, opportunity to attain quality education, foreign travel, opportunities for self-actualisation etc. – is perceived as commonplace by today‟s adolescents.

Nadějné vyhlídky: optimismus a jeho vztah k naději

Author(s): Jaroslava Dosedlová,Martin Jelínek,Helena Klimusová / Language(s): Czech Publication Year: 0

Optimismus a pesimismus můžeme chápat jako zastřešující termíny, které se užívají v souvislosti s mnoha současnými konstrukty a jen někdy odpovídají běžně užívanému významu obou pojmů. V odborné literatuře je mimo jiné specifikován dispoziční optimismus (Scheier, & Carver, 1985), optimistický či pesimistický atribuční (explanační) styl (Peterson, & Seligman, 1987), optimismus jako pozitivní iluze (Taylor, & Brown, 1988), nerealistický optimismus (Weinstein, 1980), nerealistický pesimismus (Heine, & Lehman, 1995), defenzivní pesimismus a strategický optimismus (Norem, & Cantor, 1986). Současné psychologické přístupy uvažují o optimismu nejčastěji jako o kognitivní charakteristice, autoři se věnují cílům, očekáváním, kauzálním atribucím. Nesmíme však zapomínat ani na emoční doprovod optimismu a pesimismu. Můžeme být překvapeni, že jak optimismus, tak pesimismus mohou mít emočně defenzivní charakter, že optimismus je motivující na cestě k cíli a může být i sám o sobě přitažlivým cílem.

Author(s): Constanta Popescu,Oana-Mihaela Ilie,Georgiana Tatiana Bondac / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

Workplace techno-stress is viewed as a negative psychological response to the implementation and abusive use of new information and communication technology (NICT). This study identifies the main problem of modern society, the negative effects of the work-life balance, the positive effects of the balance between career and personal life on the company, but also the ways to achieve it. In other words, the study presents the impact of NICT on the conflict between work and private life as a stress factor.

The Suppression Mediate the Relations between Cyberbullying and Depression, Anxiety and Self-esteem

Author(s): Mioara Boca-Zamfir / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

Using Internet can be fun, attractive and educative for adolescents but can have also negative consequences. One important threat of the internet is cyberbullying which can be defined as an aggressive behaviour carried out using electronic devices. Many studies have previous demonstrated that cyberbullying is associated with many emotional (fear, angry) and psychological (depression, anxiety) problems. Also, research has shown that adolescents who experience cyberbullying have problems in emotion regulation. The aim of this research is to study the mediated role of suppression in relationships of cyberbullying with depression, anxiety and self-esteem. There were 310 adolescents, aged from 13 to 18 years old (145 males, 165 females) from secondary and high schools of Galati area who completed the questionnaires. The results found a partial mediated role of suppression on the relations between cybervictimisation and depression, anxiety and self-esteem. Higher use of suppression mediates the negative effects of cybervictimisation on psychological states of youth. Specifically, cybervictimisation lead to a higher use of suppression and suppression lead to higher depression and anxiety and to lower self-esteem. The findings of this study could be useful for schools and communities in setting plans and strategies to prevention and treatment of consequences of cyberbullying.

Values and Emotions in Personality System of Adolescents and Youths

Author(s): Diana Antoci / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

This article addresses the problem of identifying relationship between the emotional manifestations of adolescents and young people and dominant values in their personality system in order to establish priorities in the acquisition of the components of the value orientation at the subjects. The age of adolescence is the period of social and emotional development, cognitive and emotional explosion, and psychic and value system formation. Personality formation takes place in the social environment through interrelation with parents, friends, and teachers in different life situations. Adolescents may experience positive and negative emotions of varying intensity. Emotional stability develops gradually through experiences, socialization, cognitive progress, self-knowledge and self-affirmation which are already being formed and are specific to young people. It is important to self-recognize and self-analyse by the subject of his/her own specific emotions, to determine the causes of their occurrence, to know how to regulate the negative ones. The role of emotions is enormous for the human being. The affective sphere is one of fundamental elements for: the fixation of externalized manifestations through the behavioural display of suitable emotions, shaping of attitudes, the development of beliefs and, therefore, values. These components are organized hierarchically, forming the content of value orientation or values orientation. The experimental study carried out with adolescent and young subjects consisted in determining the specificity of emotions and dominant values in adolescence and youth ages, highlighting the dynamics of emotional and value changes, and establishing the relationship between the studied variables. The experiment results provide us with the current information regarding dynamics of the relationship of emotions and values, which, therefore, allows to elaborate new ways of emotions knowing and regulating during adolescence age including youth one. These strategies can be applicable in educational institutions, ensuring by them well-being for all education actors. Well-being means not only feeling well inside, but also to be in well- being created conditions in the environment around us, favouring the wellbeing of all subjects.

Self-Management Skills and Student Achievement – A Pilot Study

Author(s): Maria Magdalena Stan / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

The adaptation pressure of youths to a labor market with a low predictability degree determines the necessity of developing certain competences which can be easily transferrable and which can ensure the personal and professional success. We have considered non cognitive abilities (attitudes, emotions, behaviours) which proved to be significant predictors of success and mental health (Heckman, 2008) and which contribute significantly to a rise in emotional strength and to a wide range of adaptative strategies imposed by contemporary society (Opre et al., 2018). The speciality literature confirms the importance of non-cognitive abilities in the students’ / pupils’ academic success (Heckman et al., 2006; Heckman, 2008; Deming, 2015; Balica et al., 2016). The predictability degree of diverse non cognitive abilities over academic success is different as most studies do not supply relevant data about abilities such as self-efficacy, growth mindset or social awareness (Claro & Loeb, 2019), while abilities like self-management defined as the ability to regulate one’s emotions, thoughts, and behaviors in different situations (Duckworth & Carlson, 2013) represents a good predictor of academic achievement (Blair & Raver, 2015; Riggs et al., 2016). We consider self-management as being that umbrella construct which refers to abilities such as self-control, self-regulation, self-discipline, will power and self-power (Duckworth & Kern, 2011). Under the circumstances in which students with major risk abandonment participate in specific activities to develop personal, socio-emotional and learning management abilities, our study proposes to examine the variation of self-management abilities of students who participated in these activities and of students who did not participate in the activities and who are not prone to risk abandonment. Also, we wish to investigate if there is a relation between students’ self-management abilities and student achievement.

Lakan u Podgorici - ciklus predavanja

Author(s): Filip Kovačević / Language(s): Montenegrine

Kreiran potrebom crnogorske akademske sredine, jedan od vodećih ciljeva Centra za građansko obrazovanje (CGO) je da stvara programe kojima bi odgovorio na manjkave ili, pak, potpuno nezastupljene teme i oblasti upostojećim nastavnim programima visokoškolskih ustanova u Crnoj Gori. Mobilnost i fleksibilnost koja karakteriše sektor civilnog društva osiguravale su nam mogućnost brze i adekvatne „reakcije” u smislu formiranja novih programa, škola, seminara, foruma ili okruglih stolova, organizovanih na teme i u oblastimakoje je nalagao turbulentan, složen i na momente opskuran Zeitgeist. Unutar programa Aktivno građanstvo, početkom 2010. godine CGO je imao zadovoljstvo da realizuje prvi ciklus predavanja o Žaku Lakanu, francuskom psihoanalitičaru, psihijatru i fiolozofu, jednoj od intelektualnih ikona XX vijeka koji je ostavio neizbrisiv trag ne samo na psihoanalizu, već ina teoriju književnosti, filma, kulture, istoriju umjetnosti, feminizam. Ovaj ciklus predavanja predstavljao je pilot projekat u okviru novog obrazovnog potprograma – Savremene tendencije kritičke misli. Ideja je potekla od kreatora i voditelja ciklusa, doc. dr Filipa Kovačevića u januaru 2009. Njegova namjera bila je da se u okviru nekog od programa CGO-a napravi neformalni forum za raspravu o filozofskim, psihološkim i sociološkim temama koji bi bio otvoren za sve zainteresovane. Od 18. februara do 10. juna 2010. godine, četvrtkomu 19h u prostorijama CGO-a, okupljala se nesvakidašnja grupa znatiželjnih entuzijasta zainteresovana za psihoanalitičku teoriju Žaka Lakana. Ovaj više nego uspješan eksperimentalni program bio je volonterski poduhvat u kojem je profesor Kovačević volontirao svoje znanje i stručnost, CGO svoje prostorijei organizacione kapacitete, a polaznici/ce svoju radoznalost i slobodno vrijeme.

Štýly humoru vo vzťahu k emočnému prežívaniu

Author(s): Veronika Boleková / Language(s): Slovak Publication Year: 0

Aim of this paper is to present the results of a study about humor styles and their relationship to experience of emotions. The sample included 131 undergraduate students of the Faculty of Psychology at PanEuropean University. We used the Humor Styles Questionnaire (HSQ), which helps to differentiate between adaptive and maladaptive styles of humor. Selected indicators of emotional well-being were determined by the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS 42) and the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS). Results of linear regression showed that self-enhancing style of humor is a predictor of the depression, anxiety, positive and negative emotions. On the basis of the level of self-defeating style and aggressive style of humor it is possible to predict the level of depression. Affiliative style of humor predicted level of positive emotions. The research results indicate that self-enhancing style of humor is most closely connected with experience of emotions and emotional well-being.

The aim of presented research was verification of hypothesized relationship between emotions evoked by anticipation of goal attainment and indicators of goal engagement. Distinguished were anticipatory, and anticipated emotions as two forms of future oriented emotions. Participants (133 university students, aged 18 – 28 y; 66 M, 67 F) were instructed to consider their goal of „success on exams“, and with this goal in mind answered three questions regarding their engagement in this goal (“Is this your personal goal?”, “How important is for you this goal?”, “How probable is its attainment?”). Following this participants answered questions regarding positive (e.g. “I feel joy”) and negative (e.g. “I feel anger”) anticipatory and anticipated emotions (e.g. “I will feel joy”, “I will feel anger”) in the case of success, and in the case of failure. Analysis of data confirmed significant positive relationship between indicators of goal engagement and dominant emotions evoked by anticipation, as well as dominant anticipated emotions (in the case of success were dominant positive emotions, in the case of failure were dominant negative emotions).
