“…Playing electronic games and enjoying them helps people to increase their self-concept, and it motivates them (Przybylski et al, 2012). Self-concept is also associated with self-efficiency, as people with higher self-concept are usually more efficient in what they do (Mattingly & Lewandowski, 2013), including critical thinking and problem solving (Kim & Choi, 2014). Studies also showed an association between physical play and physical self-concept (Babic et al, 2014).…”

Playing in general has a positive effect on child development; yet with the advancement of technology, the way children play has changed, and the effects of their play have changed as well. Some studies have shown an overall negative effect of electronic games, while others have reported the opposite. This study aims to investigate the effects of tablet-based electronic games on the child's self-concept. Twenty-six children between the ages of 4 and 6 years from low-income backgrounds participated. They were divided into two groups; in the experimental group, children were given a tablet device with 10 educational electronic games on it, and the mothers were instructed to let them play the games for less than three hours a day in a normal home situation. The control group was not given any electronic devices. A pre-and post-pictorial measure of self-concept was used. The overall results showed no gains in self-concept for the experimental group and no differences between the groups, except in the domain of curiosity, where the control group children experienced a pre-to post-test increase.

“…In addition to being rewarding and intrinsically motivating, selfexpansion leads to growth in the self-concept that is associated with increased feelings of self-efficacy (e.g., Mattingly & Lewandowski, 2013a). Although selfconcept growth and increased self-efficacy may occur commonly in the context of forming a romantic relationship, relationships are certainly not the only source of this kind of self-expansion.…”

In this chapter, we focus on the potential practical applications to optimal relationship development based on thinking and research from the selfexpansion model, how its application could help move couples from being dissatisfied and bored with each other, to happy and passionate with each other. We begin with a basic description of the model and a brief review of some fundamental supporting research including some recent new directions relevant to this chapter's theme. We then proceed to sections that explore general implications of the model for relationships and, specific ways that one can make use of such implications for optimizing self-expansion in relationships (notably shared novel and challenging activities). We then consider (for the first time) applied implications of a new research directionhow individual (non-relational) self-expansion can benefit relationship development. Finally, we conclude with some possible future directions. the self-expansion modelIn this section we elucidate the basic model itself, the foundation of the applications we will be discussing, including briefly reviewing some of the basic research support, and noting emerging directions, all emphasizing the aspects most relevant to optimal relationship development. The modelThe self-expansion model (Aron & Aron, 1986; for a recent review, see Aron, Lewandowski, Mashek, & Aron, 2013) was developed to address theoretical and applied questions about basic processes underlying experiences and behaviors in the context of close relationships (and since, extended to other contexts). The model has two key principles:The authors would like to thank Stephanie Kaplan and Sierra Kauer for their assistance in the preparation of this chapter. 79of use, available at https:/www.cambridge.org/core/terms. https://doi.

“…W ostatnich latach zaprezentowano wyniki badań bezpośrednio testujących założenie o związku rozszerzenia pojęcia Ja z poczuciem własnej skuteczności, efektywnym działaniem oraz wytrwałością w dążeniu do postawionych celów (np. Mattingly, Lewandowski, 2013b;Mattingly i in., 2012;Xu, Floyd, Westmaas, A. Aron, 2010). W badaniach eksplorowano konsekwencje poczucia rozszerzenia Ja dla funkcjonowania i samoregulacji w różnych kontekstach społecznych, np.…”

Artykuł prezentuje polską adaptację skali poczucia rozszerzenia Ja w miejscu pracy (PRJMP). Skala PRJMP jest miarą samoopisową, określającą stopień poczucia rozszerzenia Ja w środowisku pracy. W artykule opisano badanie na dwóch próbach osób pracujących, zróżnico-wanych pod względem płci, stażu pracy, zajmowanych stanowisk i wykonywanej pracy (N = 647). Analizy potwierdziły jednoczynnikową strukturę skali oraz wysoką rzetelność narzędzia. Wyniki na skali PRJMP korelują pozytywnie, w sposób oczekiwany z satysfakcją z pracy, przywiązaniem do organizacji i zaangażowaniem w wykonywaną pracę, co świadczy o trafności teoretycznej polskiej wersji skali. Pozwala to uznać skalę PRJMP za przydatne narzędzie do badania poczucia rozszerzania granic własnej osoby wśród osób wykonujących różne zawody.Słowa kluczowe: psychologia pracy, tożsamość społeczna, satysfakcja z pracy, metody pomiaru. Abstract:This article presents the Polish adaptation of the Workplace Self-expansion Questionnaire (Workplace SEQ), a self-reported measure for assessing the degree to which the motivation to expand the boundaries of self-concept is satisfied by the work environment. The study was conducted on two samples of employees, diverse in terms of gender, work experience, position, and the type of work (N = 647). Statistical analysis confirmed the single-factor structure of the questionnaire and the high reliability of this measure. As expected, the Polish version of the Workplace SEQ correlated positively with job satisfaction, organization commitment, and work engagement, which thus verifies its construct validity. The results support this version of the Workplace SEQ as a useful tool for studying self-expansion among people engaged in various professions.
