Abstract. The present research developed and tested a new individual-difference measure of beliefs about autobiographical memory. We assumed that someone's implicit memory theory results in high or low skepticism about memory credibility. Based on the metamemory literature we hypothesized that this skepticism might be a predictor of memory accuracy in various memory tasks. The first phase of the research developed the Implicit Memory Theory Scale (IMTS). The exploratory factor analysis revealed three factors that were converted into three subscales of the 37-item measure. Cronbach α coefficients and test-retest correlations showed acceptable to high reliability for the global scale and three subscales. Validation studies indicated that the scale was sensitive to individual differences in professional knowledge of autobiographical memory and manipulation that involved providing respondents with this kind of knowledge. As predicted, IMTS scores were associated with accuracy in a misinformation experiment. The potential utility of the IMTS for memory research and an applied setting is discussed.

The purpose of the article is to present the issue of procedural justice standards, which are of the most considerable importance in the disciplinary proceedings of the Marshal’s Guard officers. The author analyzes how specific standards are implemented in the course of the proceedings and which mechanisms and legal institutions are manifestations of their implementation.

ABSTRACT:The influence of magnetic fields on the adsorption of some dyes and other substances from aqueous solution by activated carbon was studied. In a similar manner, the influence of magnetic fields on barium ion sorption by some zeolites from ordinary (H 2 O) and heavy (D 2 O) water was investigated. The data obtained suggest that the presence of a magnetic field decreases the hydrogen bonding energy between water molecules.
