PREPOZNAVANJE EMOCIONALNIH IZRAZA LICA I DETEKCIJA LAGANJA

Author(s): Valentina Baić,Irma Deljkić,Jelena Petrović / Language(s): Bosnian,Croatian,Serbian Issue: 3-4/2017

Reason(s) for writing and research problem(s): Having in mind that the emotion approach plays an important part in understanding verbal and nonverbal cues to deception, and that accurate detection of emotional reactions that may indicate deception is of particular importance for the police investigators, this paper presents the findings of a research on the accuracy of recognition of the emotional facial expressions. Aims of the paper (scientific and/or social): Starting with the assumption that the perception, apperception and the determination of the meaning of especially exogenous stimuli are very important for communication in the social interaction, and thus for the activity of the police, this paper presents a research whose aim was to ensure answers to the following questions: Are there any differences in the accuracy and time of recognizing emotional facial expressions among respondents; How successful are the respondents in recognizing emotional facial expressions in general, with regard to gender, and with regard to the existence of positive and negative emotions, and in identifying specific emotions? Methodology/Design: The study included 97 respondents (46 men and 51 women), which were students of Police Academy in Belgrade and the Faculty of Medicine in Novi Sad, with the average age of 22 years. Emotional facial expressions that were used in the study were taken from the Karolinska Directed Emotional Faces base (KDEF). A total of 36 photos of emotional expressions was used, of which 18 were photographs of women and 18 of men. After watching successive display of photos on a computer screen, respondents were asked to provide fast and accurate identification of emotions. Research/paper limitations: Research has been conducted in the experimental conditions, so it is assumed that the results would be more objective if research was to be conducted under the real life circumstances. Furthermore, our study included a 36 facial expressions, and this number could be larger in future research. Finally, we also question the motivation of respondents to invest more personal effort to fulfill requirements of the research. Results/Findings: The research results show that the average value of the total accuracy of recognition of emotional expression was 84% (SD = 5.93), and that there are gender differences in the recognition of emotional expressions in favor of women(85%) compared to men (82%). That is, women required less time to perform this task (SD = 51.9) than men (SD = 59.2).

TIKĖJIMO REIKŠMĖ SUAUGUSIO ŽMOGAUS UGDYMUI IR SAVIUGDAI

Author(s): Aušrinė Zulumskytė / Language(s): Lithuanian Issue: 13/2004

The aim of this article is to research the attitudes of adults of different age towards religious self-determination and its (self) development. From the educological view, socially active adults fall into groups of early and medium maturity, and their representatives attitudes towards the issues of faith are quite different. Survey data show the approaches of two generations. Although most of adults declare they belong to some religious confession, however only few of them are practitioners. The predominating is the style of life with seldom participation or non-participation in the activity of Church and community. Such people are especially often met among young adults. The main things, which faith can give to an adult, include peace, confidence, hope, spiritual strength, and understanding of values. However, such qualities can only be experienced by people having deep faith. Religious experiences do not reach non-believers, according to respondents. Adults admit the need to talk, to discuss religious topics in both explaining hardly understandable elements and symbols of religious service and solving essential issues of the existence. As democratic processes are present in the society, most adults do not try to hide their religious beliefs. However, older people declare them bravely and openly, and younger ones are more likely to adapt to the situation and to behave according to the specific circumstances. Positive view to the meaning of faith in life is still more related to the continuation of traditions, which commits parents to carry out certain obligations of religious education. Such formal recognition of faith is often considered as a guarantee of moral life-style in society, until the person matures to the conscious self-determination.

Старость или «третий возраст»? Дискурсы субъективного восприятия индивидами собственных возрастных изменений

Author(s): Olga Maximova / Language(s): Russian Issue: 2/2020

The concept of aging has quite contradictory characteristics and interpretations in the academic literature. The most developed are biological (gerontological), chronological, and sociological approaches. In the social sciences the phenomenon of aging has a complex structure—it cannot be studied outside the social, cultural, and historical factors existing in a particular society. Following the notion of social construction of aging, I believe that in order to analyze aging and old age not only as socially constructed phenomena but as individual strategies and practices, we must investigate how individuals themselves subjectively explain their age and actions related to it and how they present their own discourse of aging and perception of age-related changes. According to the adopted methodological framework, narrative interviews with informants aged 63 to 83 years became the main method of collecting data for this study. As the results of the study demonstrate, individuals who by the criteria of age are assigned to the category of the “elderly” manifest an ambivalent attitude toward the process of aging. Assessing the current period of their life, informants associate it with wisdom, experience, and the possibility of self-realization, including in those areas where before they could not prove themselves due to the burden of professional and family responsibilities. Advanced age is characterized by informants, first of all, as a time of assessing one’s life, summing up its results, while the number of years lived is perceived rather as a given that has only a formal meaning but does not directly affect their inner sense of self. Informants who continue working see it as an opportunity to remain useful, in demand, rather than purely as a source of (albeit not unimportant) additional income. The main things that the elderly value, as the study revealed, are self-satisfaction, family, health, having friends, and various kinds of activities (labor, civic, or family) that allow them to feel needed.

BALSAI IŠ SOVIETINIŲ PSICHIATRIJOS LIGONINIŲ: SAVOJO AŠ SAMPRATOS SKUNDUOSE

Author(s): Tomas Vaiseta / Language(s): Lithuanian Issue: 62/2014

This article is based on an analysis of Soviet patients’ complaints stored in the archive of Soviet Lithuania’s Ministry of Health Care. The analysis of patients’ complaints aims at interpreting the self-perception of mentally ill persons in Soviet psychiatric hospitals. The complaints are interpreted as a part of public communication that could help us to understand the process of social identification, that is, how a subject represents himself to others and how he defines himself by the social categories. The most significant discourses in the context of Soviet psychiatry are brought out. These discourses had formed the components and sub-components of the perception of the self: the self as a Soviet citizen, as an object of medicine, as a patient, and as mentally ill. The analysis shows how the subjects used the vocabulary of a particular discourse, and in the situations of the conflicts did not reject a discourse but were searching for a way to rationalize their experience. At the same time it is important to emphasize the expectations which these discourses form. These expectations, if not fulfilled, generated the dissatisfaction by which it became possible to recognize the subject as a self defining her/himself, reflecting her/his situation, and seeking to change it. In this way probably for the first time in the history of modern Lithuania it became possible to hear the voices of the patients of psychiatric hospitals who defended their own subjectivity, although they found themselves in the captivity of so-called truth regimes.

Взаимосвязь между оценкой сформированности конфликтологической составляющей образа педагога и желанием работать по профессии у будущих учителей

Author(s): Tatyana Genad`evna Ptashko,Elena Gennadyevna Chernikova,Artem Evgenevich Perebeynos,Nadezhda Valeryevna Sivrikova,Nadezhda Anatolyevna Sokolova / Language(s): Russian Issue: 2/2021

Introduction. The article attempts to study the correlation between the desire to enter the teaching profession and the formation of the conflict resolution component in the teacher’s image. The purpose of the article is to identify and describe the relationship between the assessment of the formation of the conflict resolution component in the teacher’s image and the desire to pursue a career in education. Materials and Methods. The study is based on the systematic approach and uses theoretical and empirical research methods. To collect primary empirical data, a survey of undergraduates doing their degrees in education was conducted. The study involved 152 undergraduate students (Years 2-5). For the mathematical processing of the research data, the H - Kruskal Wallace test and factor analysis were used Results. The factor analysis revealed two factors within the structure of the conflict resolution component of the teacher’s image. Its content differs when students assess school teachers, university teachers and themselves. According to students’ perceptions, the structure of conflict resolution component of the school teacher’s image and of the image of the university teacher coincide to a great extent. On the other hand, the structure of conflict resolution component of future teachers’ ‘self-image’ differs. ‘Refusing violence’ in the second factor is associated with ‘following rules’ for students, and with ‘personal choice’ for university teachers and school teachers. The research findings indicate that students with different degrees of professional motivation have different perceptions of the formation of conflict resolution component within professional images of university teachers, school teachers and themselves. When assessing school teachers and university teachers, significant differences were found according to the ‘internal stability’ criterion. ‘Doubting students’ rated university teachers lower according to this criterion, on the other hand, ‘students who do not want to enter the teaching profession’ rated this criterion low both among school teachers and university teachers. Conclusions. The study reveals the correlation between the assessment of conflict resolution component of the teacher's image and motivation for entering the teaching career. The article concludes that the desire to pursue a career in education is associated with such components of the teacher's image as ‘positive goals’, ‘equal communication’ and ‘personal choice’. Low self-evaluation of students’ conflict resolution component of the teacher's image negatively affects the motivation for teaching career in the future.

Author(s): Dina Sijamhodžić Nadarević / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 14/2010

There are many developed mechanisms for successful improvement of the quality of educational work at schools, and continuous self-evaluation of the work is one of the basic methods in the policy of continuous monitoring and improvement of quality education. Identifying and understanding your own advantages and shortcomings help schools identify priorities, set achievable goals and work plans. Process of self-evaluation consists of several components: setting goals of self-evaluation, discussion to analyze the situation at the school, which should include a broad circle of participants of the educational process, the selection of key areas and areas of evaluation that make self-evaluation framework, determining the level and scope of self-evaluation and setting the criteria of self-evaluation, collecting relevant data on the performance of schools and their analyses in order to evaluate the work of the school and make the report on the results of self-evaluation in order to make plans for further development.

In Search for the Adaptive Self: A Model of Adaptive Self-Concept

Author(s): Tomasz Jankowski,Wacław Bąk / Language(s): English Issue: 4/2020

The main aim of this article is to present a descriptive social-cognitive model of the adaptive self-concept (ASC) which integrates knowledge concerning the relationship between two aspects of the self—self-awareness and self-knowledge—and optimal functioning. We propose that adaptive self-awareness is moderately frequent, non-ruminative, focused on inner states, and motivated by curiosity. Adaptive self-knowledge is defined as accurate, complex, integrated and consisting of easily accessible self-beliefs, both abstract and concrete. The broader context for the ASC model is discussed, including its regulatory and interpersonal functions and factors which influence ASC development. The limitations of the model are discussed and suggestions are made for future investigations.

KURUMLARARASI BELLEKTEN KAYNAKLANAN SORUNLAR, ÇÖZÜMLERİ VE İŞ MEMNUNİYETİ ÜZERİNDEKİ ETKİLERİ

Author(s): Bəyim İmanova / Language(s): Azerbaijani Issue: Sp. Issue/2021

In today's world, the individual is moving away from understanding both his work life and his own life. Because the innovations brought by life are both interesting for individuals and cause us to detach ourselves from our essence and gradually change and forget some values. The notion of alienation we encounter at this point isolates the individual against himself, his values, the values of society, and the environment in which he works. The concept of alienation, which has gained a lot of meaning in recent years, is a synonym for boredom for some and an analytical concept for others in sociology. On the other hand, intra-organizational alienation is defined as the recognition, evaluation and dissatisfaction of a person working in the organization by the leaders of professional development and change. The purpose of this study is to reveal the relationship between the levels of alienation that can occur in employees of the organization, its causes and solutions, and job satisfaction, which is one of the necessary conditions for the sustainability of the organization. The threedimensional memory scale, developed by J. Clifford Mottaz (1981), has been used as a means of data collection. In this regard, the relationship between sub-dimensions of forgetfulness (weakness, meaninglessness, self-forgetfulness), the causes of forgetfulness and solutions and job satisfaction was investigated. The most widely used Spector (1997) job satisfaction measure was used to measure job satisfaction. The 3 sub-dimensions of memorization and job satisfaction were measured on the Likert scale. This article also explores what the concept of alienation is in a broad sense, why it is important, how it can be managed, and how it affects job satisfaction.

KNOWING AND INTERPRETING STUDENTS' EMOTIONS IN A PANDEMIC CONTEXT USING BRAIN WAVES

Author(s): Oprea Valentin BUȘU,Elena-Cristina Andrei,Mihai-Narcis POPESCU / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2021

Knowledge of development stages in correlation with biological and psychological age is an indispensable element in ensuring an efficient teaching activity. Starting from the idea that the experiences lived during childhood and adolescence influence the behavior of the future young adult we focus on the causes that led to the installation of a certain type of behavior. Teachers in the university environment report visible differences in behavior between students of different ages. These differences need to be carefully considered, as they can guide the teacher towards an appropriate approach to the student's learning style. A special category is represented by middle-aged students. They are easily distinguished by the independent spirit, being self-controlled individuals who consider that they are distinguished from their younger colleagues by the experience accumulated during their life. The behavior adopted by these students is correlated with the presence of medium frequency Beta brain waves that define a relaxed learning style. Also, the way middle-aged students perceive the educational process differs from that of younger students, because they tend to focus on the practical component, while younger students focus more on the theoretical component. The behavior of young students is correlated with the presence of high-frequency Beta brain waves, the situation in which many chemicals are produced in the body caused by high levels of stress. Maintaining this condition for a long time has harmful effects on the whole body, producing major imbalances both mentally and physically.

SYNOPTIC SCRUTINY OF PEDAGOGICAL PRACTICES FOR DEVELOPING FIVE MINDS FOR THE FUTURE IN TANZANIAN NON-FORMAL SECONDARY SCHOOLS

Author(s): Tulia Michael,Laurent Gabriel Ndijuye,Abdon Kimario Éphrem / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2021

The paradigm shift from knowledge based training (KBET) to competence based (CBET) training in Tanzania was meant to create a challenging intellectual foundation to equip Non-Formal Secondary School Education (NFSE) graduates with competences to meet the dynamic changes within the 21st Century. This article describes how the five minds for the future have been integrated in the NFSE curriculum as a reflection of lifelong learning among children and youths who missed formal schooling in Tanzania. The study was necessitated by an outgrowing cry that the graduates who went through similar curriculum did not demonstrate the competences associated with the five minds in their real life (Ndyali, 2016). What often went unsaid along with the complaints against graduates in Tanzania is how the elements of five minds have been nurtured during actual pedagogical practices. Therefore, this study reviewed the Education and Training Policy (ETP) of 2014, the Non-Formal Secondary Education Curriculum (2010) and the books of five minds for the future by Howard Gardner (2006) and Frames of Mind by Howard Gardner (2007). The analysis of the information gathered revealed that the education and Training Policy (2014) as well as non-formal secondary school curriculum features the five minds for the future. Similarly, another findings was that the curriculum materials had insufficient content which may enable non-formal secondary school learners acquire the five minds for the future. Further, it was revealed that there is limited instructional strategies, limited use of teaching materials and limited use of assessment strategies. It is, therefore, concluded that in order to improve the characteristics of non-formal secondary graduates three areas should be improved namely teaching and learning materials, instructional strategies, and assessment strategies.

LINGUISTIC IMPACT ON SELF-AWARENESS AND SOCIAL AFFILIATION

Author(s): Svilen Stanchev,Vesela Belcheva / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2021

Along with its prime function as a means of human communication, language is also a factor with considerable impact in the spheres of human psychology and social behaviour – psycholinguistics and sociolinguistics have now been well established as innovative branches of linguistic research. In the first part of the paper we examine the role of human language on the4 systemic level with regard to the language – thought correlation and especially against the backdrop of the widely popular Sapir – Whorf Hypothesis. We touch on relativism and linguistic determinism and the impact of linguistically acquired thought patterns on the construal of one’s self-awareness. The second part of the paper tackles regional language variation i.e. deviations from the national norm and the elusive language vs. dialect divide, which has often fuelled morbid nationalism and has even served as casus belli for aggressive regimes.
