Author(s): Joanna Miniszewska / Language(s): Polish

The publication concerns the adaptation of patients to selected chronic somatic diseases, such as diabetes, psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis, and chronic kidney disease. The author distinguishes three groups of variables constituting the process of adaptation to the disease, taking into account its conditions and the final effect: explanatory variables (the subjective significance of the disease for the patient, knowledge about the disease), mediative processes (mediators: the sense of life, coping strategies, benefits associated with the disease; and moderators: the type of disease, its duration) and explained variables (acceptance of the disease and a life with it, mental health, emotional balance, life satisfaction). Adaptation understood as a process and adjustment as an effect of this process have been analyzed from the perspective of positive psychology, emphasizing the strengths of the diseased person, and cognitive psychology, showing the importance of cognitive processes in understanding and adapting to the disease and its related discomforts and restrictions.

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.

THE NEED FOR LEADER CREATION AMONGST ROMANIAN SCHOOL PRINCIPALS – EDUCATIONAL POLICY ANALYSIS

Author(s): Adina-Petronela Vechiu / Language(s): English Issue: 13/2020

Many theories of leadership and organisational climate gave been formulated over the years. This paper focuses both on transformational and transactional management and on supportive organisational climates. The theory of transformational educational management was developed as a response to the need for reform in educational systems in the 1970s and 1980s. The central convincing argument for educational staff was the assumption that a transformational leader motivates both teachers and students through increasing their consciousness regarding operational objectives and inspiring them to forego personal interest in favour of the organisational ‘greater good’ (Marks and Printy , 2003, p. 375). This strand of theory attributes certain leadership factors to the transformational leader like idealising influence, inspirational motivation, intellectual stimulation and individualising consideration amongst others.The transformational leader came about as a response to the need for schools to be led successfully through innovative reforms. This type of leader underlines and accentuates ideas of change, innovation and the influence teachers have in these processes. On the other hand, transactional leadership is based on promoting a negotiation model which helps reaching a certain motivation level. This level is usually expressed through an accepted amount. Conversely, transformational leadership refers to certain assumed responsibilities and moral principles. Both leadership models aim to improve school environments, ultimately targeting progress through building leadership capacities amongst all those involved in facilitating school activities (apud Nedelcu, 2013).

I Love It, But It Is Too Complicated. Aging Adults’ Perspective on Mobile Technology Acceptance

Author(s): Ioana Iancu,Bogdan Iancu / Language(s): English Issue: 26 (2)/2020

In the context of constant population aging, digital technologies are required especially for communication and geriatric care. However, before a large-scale deployment could be implemented, the general technological acceptance level should be assessed. The paper aims to descriptively analyze the perception of aging adults on mobile technology. Based on Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), the variables considered are emotional attachment on technology, actual use, perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, and behavioral intentions. Methodologically, a set of semi-structured interviews have been conducted. The results show that although individuals love their mobile devices and although they perceive them as being useful, the devices are not easy to be used and there are numerous concerns regarding technology. Paradoxically, while they claim the like owning smart devices, they consider them too complex and intrusive.

Mediating Grannies: Caring for Young Grandchildren who Use Digital Media

Author(s): Galit Nimrod,Dafna LEMISH,Nelly Elias / Language(s): English Issue: 26 (2)/2020

Based on online surveys conducted in the United States and Israel, this study explored grandmothers’ involvement in mediation of their grandchildren’s digital media use. Study participants were highly involved in restrictive, instructive and supervising mediation—and to a much lesser degree in co-use and technological mediation. Their involvement was significantly associated with their familiarity with digital media popular among children, engagement in other activities with their grandchildren, and past mediation (as mothers). Results highlighted the technical challenges older women face in their efforts to mediate their grandchildren’s digital media use.

La gérontologie narrative numérique : porte ouverte sur les apprentissages informels intergénérationnels et les communications numériques

Author(s): Béatrice Crettenand Pecorini,Emmanuel Duplàa / Language(s): French Issue: 26 (2)/2020

Ontario’s action plan for seniors recognizes that seniors have health and education needs, among other needs (Gouvernement de l’Ontario, 2017). To partially meet these needs, we have proposed an innovative gerontagogical approach by combining two existing concepts: narrative gerontology with digital storytelling. Thus, by this new concept of Digital Narrative Gerontology, we give seniors a special place for the elaboration of the message they wish to bequeath to other generations, by creating together their life testimonies in digital form easy to share, while mutually acquiring new digital skills and exploiting the benefits of narrative gerontology, such as well-being, aging well, resilience and wisdom, but also informal and intergenerational learning. Communication was important on two levels: between the elder and the researcher during the oral narration and the creation of the digital narration in a relationship of mutual trust as well as in the form of digital testimony with a key message to transmit, during the broadcast of the digital narration. This research also made it possible to respond to the curiosity of the elders for new matters in a reassuring framework, adapted to their level, while respecting their learning pace and the choices of knowledge that they wish to acquire. Seniors were proud to share their digital creation with those they had chosen, thus opening the space for discussions, exchanges, emotions and the open door to a new intergenerational “narrative” and social interactions - sources of learning.

The Artistic Personality

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

With constant references to Cloninger, Cosman and mainly Gray for the description of a model (AS) with anxiety-as-introverted-neuroticism and sociability-asextraverted- neuroticism; with recurrent recourse to Rusu, Pamfil, Cosman and mainly Kant for the description of creativity-as-product; with many a reverence to Andreasen, Jamison and mainly Aristotle for the description of creativity-asprocess – we will stipulate that the connection between psychopathology (PP) and big-C creativity (CC), a “melting pot” from which we have extracted personality traits (PT) and then the genetic code (DNA), intelligence (IQ) and a certain zeitgeist (ZG), is quite organic, namely that big-C creativity (CC) feeds on subclinical hypomania (SCHM), formative originality (FO) and subliminal psychopathology (SLPP). In a rather more condensed formulation, CC (AS + DNA + IQ + ZG) is informed by SCHM and encoded by FO and SLPP. By entabulation: CC (AS + DNA + IQ + ZG) → SCHM → FO + SLPP. This book, hopefully part of a long-standing Artistic Personality series, is an overt illustration of the aforementioned thesis, with special reference to Ion Creangă and George Bacovia, two foremost Romanian representatives of prose (an 80% psychopathology in a sample of 110 writers) and poetry (93.75% psychopathology in a sample of 80 poets).

Osobowość i osiągnięcia w nauce

Author(s): Maria Flakus / Language(s): Polish

Nowadays, psychologists are inclined to perceive intelligence as one of the factors significant for school achievements, but not the exhaustive pool of possibilities to search for potential determinants of academic achievements. Thinking about similar non-cognitive factors associated with grades, researchers turned to many areas that are traditional subjects of interest in psychological research, including personality traits. The possibility of linking the area of personality and intellectual functioning is highlighted by both scientific research and some theories of intelligence, including investment theories, analyzing intellectual development and activity manifested in this area from the level of several groups of factors, including personality.

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.

Wrażliwe struny osobowości w związkach romantycznych

Author(s): Marcin Moroń / Language(s): Polish

The aim of the book is to establish the role of temperamental sensitivity to pleasant and unpleasant stimuli in understanding the dynamics of responding to transgressions in romantic relationships. Using the neuropsychological reinforcement sensitivity theory of personality, there have been shown mechanisms of constructive and destructive reaction in the event of a breach of norms regulating mutual exchange by an intimate relationship partner. The analyses have demonstrated that sensitivity to negative stimuli and to motivational conflicts are the risk factors of avoidance and neglect of a romantic partner, and also revealed the mechanisms of this risk (e.g. difficulties in emotional regulation, reduced self-esteem and sensitivity to rewards and punishments in a romantic relationship).

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).

Чешката телевизионна реклама и фолклорът – начини за употреба на народните традиции от масмедиите

Author(s): Jaroslav Otčenášek / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 1/2023

The ways in witch advertising uses folklore motifs are rather varied and interesting. In this article, we first clarify what the essence of advertising is at a theoretical level, who it is aimed at, what is presented and how it is presented, and of course, also who orders the advertisement. This synthesizing theoretical introduction is necessary in order to fully understand the differences between audio advertising, visual and audio-visual presentation, as well as how contemporary advertising permeates the media environment including Internet and social networks. Also significant is the psychological effect on the costumers, which uses a number of traditional stereotypes and expected behaviour patterns. Subsequently, we will look in more detail at the role of folklore and especially folklore narratives in advertising, including its changes in the last century, which we will illustrate with two specific examples. The next part of the article consists of an analysis of two contemporary advertising campaigns with dominant folklore motifs in the Czech media environment (Equa bank and Seznam.cz), in which we show in detail the way they communicate with the costumer, the folklore stereotypes used and the comments of the clients and creators of these advertisements regarding the expected effect of the campaign.

Rekonstrukcja kategorii bliskości w polskim systemie prawnym

Author(s): Marlena Drapalska-Grochowicz / Language(s): Polish

As Martin Heidegger wrote, “In being there lies an essential inclination towards closeness.” However, explaining what this inclination means is not an easy task. Reconstruction of the category of closeness in the Polish legal system attempts to answer the question of the meaning of closeness in law, using a psychological view of the phenomenon. Although intuitively it might seem that law and closeness have little in common, this monograph reveals the complex relationship that exists between them. The non-obvious nature of these relations is influenced by the fact that various understandings of closeness are accepted on the ground of law. In turn, depending on this, the law can be an important instrument for either supporting or lowering the level of fulfillment of needs in close relationships.

Европейски измерения на съвременната идентичност на българските граждани

Author(s): Albena Nakova-Manolova,Vanya Ivanova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 3/2023

The article is based on the results of a nationally representative sociological survey conducted in 2021 within the project “National and European Dimensions of the Contemporary Identity of Bulgarians” (KP06-H50/6/30.11.2020), funded by the Bulgarian National Science Fund. The transformations in the identity of Bulgarian citizens are traced in today’s world of increased mobility, migration and communication with representatives of other ethnicities and nations, which changes the meaning of national borders, eliminates the closedness of national cultures and leads to the formation of a consciousness of supranational or European identity. The analysis of the ongoing processes in the contemporary identity of Bulgarian citizens is based on the understanding of identity as a social construct which has relational and situational/contextual structure, determined by the nature of interaction with “others” and changing over time. The results show that although at this stage the national identity is the leading and determining one in the self-identification of the Bulgarian citizens, the processes of formation of the supranational/European identity have begun and represents an important part of their self-identification. Over 50% of all Bulgarian citizens have consciousness of belonging to supranational structures, i.e., we can talk about processes of formation of supranational identity; and in 30% of them it is a question of a declared consciousness of belonging to Europe, including the identification as citizens of the European Union.
