“…No associations of educational attainment with death acceptance emerged in the present study. Because our research was done in the former communist eastern part of Germany, educational attainment showed less variability than in many Western samples (e.g., Mitter, 1990;Tomer & Eliason, 2000). This might have reduced the chance of finding significant associations with death acceptance.…”

Death Acceptance in Cancer Patients

Death acceptance was assessed in 337 adult cancer patients who were starting to receive chemotherapy, and in 180 healthy controls. Although diagnosis of cancer and higher age are associated with a reduction of the average time left to live, these variables had differential associations with death acceptance. Higher age but not having cancer was associated with higher levels of death acceptance, and differences in death acceptance between patients and healthy control group members were stronger in younger than in older participants. Within the patient sample, stronger physical impairments, male gender, having no long-term goals, and religiosity were related to higher levels of death acceptance. Across a nine-month interval, no changes in the mean level of death acceptance appeared. Nonetheless, younger patients with stronger physical impairments at T1 showed a decline in death acceptance at T2. We conclude that reasons that make illness and mortality salient reduce death acceptance in younger patients, but not in older patients.

“…The present results can be used to plan measures and interventions aimed at supporting their adjustment to the new school environment and requirements. Education reforms are put in place all over Europe with varied success, as described in the literature [ 132 , 133 , 134 , 135 , 136 , 137 , 138 , 139 , 140 , 141 ]. Supposedly, the profile of scores obtained in young people in other countries could be different from the one obtained in this study.…”

This article reports the results of a survey of 455 Polish primary school sixth-graders experiencing changes in the education system. The goal of the study was to identify the relationships between the Big Five personality traits, measured with the picture-based personality survey for children (PBPS-C) and locus of control, determined using the locus of control questionnaire (LOCQ). The results lead to the conclusion that primary school students do not have an established locus of control of either success or failure. There are also no significant differences between boys and girls in the way they interpret the causes of situations and events that happen to them. Boys, compared to girls, scored significantly higher on traits related to seeking and enjoying the company of others. On the other hand, girls exhibited significantly higher levels of traits responsible for increased anxiety than boys. The personality traits that correlated the strongest with locus of control were Conscientiousness, Openness to Experience, and Agreeableness. A regression model showed that locus of control of success was significantly affected by two traits: Extraversion and Conscientiousness. Locus of control of failure was significantly predicted by Extraversion, Openness to Experience, Agreeableness (positively), and Neuroticism (negatively). Regression model with gender as a moderator of relationships between personality traits and locus of control turned out to be insignificant.

“…Neoliberalne reformy ostatnich kilkunastu lat, toczące się na całym świecie (Gill 2010), sprawiły, że również czechy i Słowacja, a wcześniej także wschodnia część Niemiec (gdzie wielu naukowców, szczególnie przedstawicieli nauk społecznych i humanistycznych, straciło pracę w wyniku pozjednoczeniowych przemian, por. Mitter 1990;Nowakowska 2000) stały się miejscami, które dotknęła prekaryzacja, a konkretnie takie jej wymiary jak: niepewność zatrudnienia, konieczność dorabiania do pensji akademickiej (np. poprzez tłumaczenia, prace edytorskie) czy właśnie długiego dojeżdżania do pracy (Kowzan i in.…”

Wyższa Szkoła Informatyki i Zarządzania z siedzibą w Rzeszowie Artykuł analizuje, w jaki sposób urodzeni za granicą pracownicy uczelni i instytucji badawczych zlokalizowanych w Polsce i w Słowacji korzystają z oferty kulturalnej i infrastruktury miast, w których podjęli pracę. Badania, oparte na indywidualnych wywiadach pogłębionych (IDI), pokazały cztery powracające wzorce dotyczące interakcji z miastem. Opierając się na podmiotowej rekonstrukcji przekonań uczestników badania, wyrażonej w formie narracji, można wyróżnić dwa style aktywne i dwa pasywne. Aktywne to "zachwyt miastem europejskim", charakterystyczny głównie dla przybyszów z Ameryki Północnej oraz "życie w obrębie diaspory". Style pasywne określam zaś mianem "instrumentalnego kontaktu z miastem", typowego dla pracowników dojeżdżających z państw sąsiednich wyłącznie do pracy oraz "kontaktu powierzchownego", czyli mało intensywnych kontaktów z podstawowymi instytucjami dostępnymi w mieście ze względu na brak czasu, charakterystyczny dla pracy akademickiej, w której trudno oddzielić od siebie aktywności zawodowe i pozazawodowe.
