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.

Sylvia Plath: Flying Suicidal

Author(s): Elena Ciobanu,Bogdan C.S. Pîrvu / Language(s): English

The biopsycholiterary joint partnership between a professor of literature (Elena Ciobanu) and a clinical psychiatrist (Bogdan C.S. Pîrvu) was meant to diagnose the condition of a poet (Sylvia Plath) who, with a comorbid borderline personality disorder, had a bipolar II disorder that drove her to commit suicide. In equally specific, because technical, terms, the biopsychosocial approach extrapolated from narrative medicine was made to come complete mostly with strategies borrowed from literary phenomenology and designed to explore the Artistic Personality on its own premises, and occasionally with psychotherapeutic tools that are conveniently adept at dealing with mental disorders and family relationships. In mundane terms, this book is not a biography proper; it is an open-minded account of the intricate entanglements of poetry, personality and mood, perceptively and cautiously intent on behavioural, affective and cognitive changes, on the impact any such fluctuations might have had on the art of Sylvia Plath.

IMAGOLÓGIAI OLVASÓKÖNYV

Author(s): / Language(s): Hungarian

To confront with the other is the indispensable condition of the formation of one’s identity. This is also the case with groups; each community defines itself against the foreign. Imagology deals with the scientific research of mental images formed about the other and the self. The volume includes theoretical studies and case studies on the theoretical-historical approach of this interdisciplinary domain. Zsuzsa Tapodi’s general survey is supplemented by Joep Leerssen’s study from the perspective of the history of literature and mentality as well as by Sorin Mitu’s article from the perspective of history. Discussing Balkanism in connection with George Enescu’s opera, Dan Anghelescu’s analysis in the field of aesthetics sets against the terms the Balkans and Balkanism used as negative stereotypes. This is a positive characteristic, the container of those features which make the Romanian composer’s works unique and which can convey the Nietzschean concept of tragedy. Through the analysis of the edition in Romania of Áron Tamási’s autobiographical volume, Árpád Kémenes’s study argues that in the case of Hungarian authors the communist censorship banned not only the fragments showing a negative image of the Romanians, but also those reinforcing the Hungarians’ identity. Sorin Mitu’s study analyses the Hungarians’ image about the Romanians and the Romanians’ image about the Hungarians; Axel Braner follows the changes of German writers’ image about the Romanians. Zsuzsa Tapodi presents two books related to imagology, on xenophobia, by the Italian belletrist and theoretician Umberto Eco.

Socijalno neprilagođeno ponašanje djece i adolescenata

Author(s): Nebojša Macanović / Language(s): Bosnian

The book entitled "Socially maladapted behavior of children and adolescents" stemmed from the author's desire to present in one place the most indicative forms of socially maladapted behavior of children and youth, and present them as they occur in certain stages of growing up. We have supported all forms of socially maladapted behavior with numerous examples and newspaper articles in order to present this social problem as objectively as possible. The content of this book is actually an introduction to the field of social pedagogy. Although we have dealt with numerous forms of socially maladapted behavior, we have focused on socially maladapted behavior of preschool children, peer violence, electronic violence (cyberbulling), and juvenile delinquency. These four forms of inappropriate behavior are certainly the most risky and the most recognizable in the media, in this time we live in. Considering numerous classifications of behavioral disorders, there would certainly be some criticism from the scientific aspect, due to the choice of these topics, but from the aspect of social pedagogy and its subject of study, we believe that these topics are the burning problem of our society when it comes to socialization and healthy growth. We believe that it is especially important to present and analyze these deviant phenomena at children and young people in one place, in order to actualize behavioral disorders and see the consequences they cause. For preschool children, it is evident that there are numerous indicators that indicate socially maladapted behavior of children at that early age. Therefore, it is very important to identify such behavior by preschool children and provide adequate professional assistance, so as not to lead to more serious consequences and disorders in the later development of personality and social behavior.

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.

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.

Osobnost a text: Kvantitativní psycholingvistická analýza stylisticky diferencovaného českého textu

Author(s): Dalibor Kučera,Jiří Haviger / Language(s): Czech Publication Year: 0

The paper deals with the possible application of quantitative psycholinguistic methods within the framework of psychological disciplines, psychodiagnostics in particular. It provides an introduction to the theoretical basis of the given approach, as well as an overview of both the research documentation and selected results of the current QPA-FPT 2015 research. The research focused on the identification of a writer’s personality features as manifested in different text types, which were subsequently analysed in terms of their formal (i.e. non-semantic) structure. The research sample consisted of 65 students of the Faculty of Education, University of South Bohemia (20 men, 45 women; ~ 21,5 years old). Following a specific writing task, the probands produced two text types – a formal text (a motivation letter) and an informal text (a letter from holiday). They also completed a number of diagnostic tests (STAI-X, KSAT, SSI and PSSI). Next, all the texts were analysed by the computer and tagged using 48 different linguistic features, especially morphological ones. The formal characterisation included both the expression of relative and absolute frequency of a given feature (e.g. first person) and a combination of such features (e.g. first person singular pronoun). The outcomes of the analysis were then compared with the tests results and correlations were identified. The research results include a number of key findings, pointing out to the influence of a given text type on its morphological structure, but also to the links between linguistic features and specific personality characteristics of the writer.

Research sample of 153 of students we administrated Trait Meta-Mood Scale (TMMS), NEO-FFI and Career Decision-Making Profile (CDMP). We found that adaptive career decision making strategies global score was predicted by high Conscientiousness, Extraversion and low Neuroticism, while perceived EI hasn´t incremental validity. On the level of individual career decision making strategies has the strongest predictive power Conscientiousness. Perceived EI has incremental predictive power (after Big Five controlling) in career decision making strategies: comprehensive information gathering (IG), analytic information processing (IP), effort invested (EI), aspiration for an ideal occupation (AI), and using intuition (IN).

Štýly rozhodovania nesprostredkúvajú vzťah medzi percipovaným stresom a subjektívne hodnotenou efektivitou rozhodovania

Author(s): Lukáš Pitel,Jitka Gurňáková,Peter Halama / Language(s): Slovak Publication Year: 0

Decision making styles do not mediate the relationship between perceived stress and subjectively assessed effectiveness of decision making. Melbourne Decision Making Questionnaire (MDMQ) is one of the most used measures for the assessment of decision making styles. It is based on conflict theory, which states that the level of stress during making decisions affects the use of adaptive or maladaptive decision making styles, subsequently affecting decision making effectiveness. This study aims to test conflict theory by testing the mediation effect of decision making styles in the relationship between perceived stress and subjective decision making effectiveness of decisions (SDME). Data were collected in 2010 among Slovak health care professionals: nurses, paramedics and emergency links operators (N=206, mean age 39.4 years; SD 9.5 years; 22.5% males). Perceived stress was measured by a 10-items version of Perceived Stress Scale, decision making styles by the MDMQ, and SDME by a 100 mm visual analogue scale. Perceived stress was negatively associated with SDME (r=0.32; p<0.001). Only two of the four decision making styles (procrastination and hypervigilance) were significantly associated with both perceived stress and SDME. The mediation effect was not confirmed in any of these two styles. Although the self-reported and cross-sectional nature of this study and a big conceptual overlap among the studied variables are limiting factors, the results of our study question the validity of conflict theory as applied in the MDMQ.

Ponieważ większość badań i analiz powstawała w owym czasie na potrzeby praktyków zainteresowanych wykorzystaniem IE w zarządzaniu,edukacji czy terapii, od ich autorów oczekiwano jednak raczej spektakularnychefektów niż rzetelności naukowej. W rezultacie wokół nowego pojęcia narosłowiele mitów i kontrowersji utrudniających dotarcie do prawdy na temat wagii roli, jaką rzeczywiście inteligencja emocjonalna odgrywa w relacjach społecznych, pracy zawodowej i podtrzymywaniu zdrowia.
