“…These results of health behaviours assessment are comparable with the results of other study groups. A similar result was obtained among older individuals (IHB -average score) [30,33], academic youth (IHB -mostly average, in some areas low) [3] and medical students in Lublin and Warsaw (IHB -average score) [25]. Analysis of the study results showed that among respondents the most common health behaviours were related to health practices, slightly less common in the area of positive mental attitude, and the least common in the area of proper eating habits and preventive behaviours.…”

“…The intensity levels of health behaviours according to the Juczyński's IHB Questionnaire correlate significantly with the gender of the respondents. Authors' own research shows that the average level of health behaviours of men and women is diverse and is at an average level of 84.5; this is slightly lower than in the study of E. Sygit-Kowalkowska et al, which amounted to 86.8 [30]. Even higher results were obtained by researchers in 2011 in Sanok (E. Smoleń et al), where the overall IHB index was 88.39 [29].…”

Introduction. The biggest threat to life are cardiovascular diseases which are a serious problem in Poland, Europe, and worldwide. Therefore, it has become important to have proper health behaviours which significantly eliminate the occurrence and development of cardiovascular diseases. Objective. The main aim of this study is to present factors that determine health behaviours of the 50+ population with cardiovascular diseases. Materials and metod. The study was carried out among 411 individuals aged over 50 with cardiovascular diseases. The method used was a diagnostic survey. The study involved an authors' survey questionnaire and the Inventory of Health-Related Behaviours (IHB). A detailed statistical analysis was carried out in the R programme, version 3.5.1. Results. The most common disease in the study group was coronary heart disease -63.75%. The majority of respondents showed (via Inventory of Health-Related Behaviour [IHB]) that the level of their health behaviours was moderate -41.12%; the highest level of health behaviours in the study group were related to health practices, while a slightly lower level was observed in the area of positive mental attitude. Statistical significance was also found between the level of intensity of health behaviours and age, gender, BMI, place of residence, education, professional activity and marital status of the respondents. Conclusions. Anti-health behaviours were predominant among the respondents; significant demographic and social factors determining health behaviour were determined, such as age and gender; a high level of health behaviours was found in the group of women with higher education and correct body mass, living in cities and married.

“…Previous literature has shown several examples of intelligence affecting and modulating individual behavior, emotion and perception (Barry, 1997;Sternberg, 2000). For example, Sygit-Kowalkowska et al (2015) show a positive correlation between the level of emotional intelligence and pro-health behaviour such as observance of healthy diet and regular physical exercise in adult participants.…”

Intelligence is a key psychological feature associated to emotion and perception. Listening to music is often linked to emotional experience and sensation seeking (SS), traits that have been shown overall negatively correlated with intelligence. In a sample of 53 musicians and 54 non-musicians, we assessed the use of music for experiencing strong emotions through the Music in Mood Regulation (MMR) and the intelligence quotient (IQ) by using the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale III (WAIS-III). We found a negative correlation between the full IQ score and the use of music for SS in both musician and non-musician groups. Furthermore, the use of music for SS was negatively correlated with Verbal IQ in musicians, and with Performance IQ in non-musicians. Our findings indicate that less intelligent individuals make a higher use of music for experiencing strong sensations than more intelligent ones. Furthermore, this association is modulated by the individual musical expertise.

“…High CQ employees can quickly adapt to their clients' or coworkers' cultures, which allows them to develop new ideas and initiate new activities (Darvishmotevali, Altinay, & De Vita, 2018). Thus, possessing emotional intelligence, which facilitates recognizing and regulating one's own and others' emotions, together with CQ, which focuses both on emotions and on intercultural interactions, results in new ideas and creative activity (Sygit-Kowalkowska, Sygit, & Sygit, 2015). Da Costa, Páez, Sánchez, Garaigordobil, and Gondim (2015) highlight that cognitive aspects such as CQ and emotional aspects such as emotional intelligence are more important for innovation in the workplace than motivational factors.…”

BackgroundAn increasing number of migrants in almost all culturally homogeneous countries poses a significant societal challenge. The current research aims to explore the relationship of personality traits, self-esteem, and emotional intelligence with cultural intelli-gence.Participants and procedureFive studies were carried out using the Cultural Intelligence Scale (CSQ) together with additional measures. In Study 1 (N = 145), participants from Slovakia (n = 74) and Poland (n = 71) completed the CSQ and the Mini International Personality Item Pool Scales. In Study 2 (N = 138) and 3 (N = 129), the participants completed the CSQ and selected subscales from the Interna-tional Personality Item Pool – 16 Personality Factor Questionnaire. The CSQ and the Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire were used in Study 4 (N = 74); and the CSQ and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale were used in Study 5 (N = 91).ResultsCultural intelligence was most strongly related to extraversion in the Slovak sample and with intellect in the Polish sample. A relationship of gregariousness, friendliness, and sensitivity, but not warmth, distrust, and reserve with the individual factors of cultural intelligence was also observed in the Polish sample. Emotional intelligence was related to the metacognitive, motivation-al, and behavioral factors of cultural intelligence, while self-esteem was related only to the motivational factor.ConclusionsPersonality traits are invariably related to individual factors of cultural intelligence. These relations assume varying patterns in Polish and Slovak individuals. Some factors of cultural intelligence are related to emotional intelligence and self-esteem. No differences were found in terms of cultural intelligence between cadets and civil students.
