“…Thus, it seems that PNS has more in common with rigidity of attitudes and personal habits (Steinmetz et al, 2011) than with IA. This finding is in support of divergent validity for the IA scale.…”

“…The scale comprised 20 items and response options ranged from "Strongly disagree" to "Strongly agree" on a 7-point Likert-scale. Steinmetz et al (2011) reported acceptable internal consistency with an alpha being 0.81 (N = 204). An example of an item is: "I dislike doing anything just on the spur of the moment".…”

“…Definition rigidity and adaptability are opposite concepts. Steinmetz et al (2011) showed that rigidity and PNS were related (r = 0.57, p < 0.05; N = 204). As the authors hypothesize a negative relationship between adaptability and PNS, they also expect a negative relation between adaptability and rigidity.…”

IA (individual adaptability), COFL (cognitive flexibility), PNS (personal need for structure), and rigidity of attitudes, all have an aim in common to evaluate the person's self-perceived capacity to manifest a flexible or inflexible behavior in a given situation. However, these seemingly related concepts have rarely been investigated jointly. The goal of the present research is twofold: (1) to explore elements of discriminate and convergent validity of IA by relating it to COFL, PNS, and rigidity; and (2) to examine individual differences regarding gender, educational attainment, and labor force status in regards to the previously mentioned concepts. The results suggest that these concepts are related but remain distinct constructs, and that they differ in their capacity to differentiate between individuals based on gender, education, and labor force status.

“…Neuberg & Newsom (1993) identified two conceptually diferentiated factors of personal need for structure: 1) desire for structure, represented by F1: to have http: //dx.doi.org/10.15405/epsbs.2016.05.02.8 eISSN: 2357-1330 responsibility of the Organizing Committee of the conference 80 structured environment, and 2) response to lack of structure, represented by F2: response to lack of structure in a given situation.

The focus of the study was to examine categorisation or cognitive structuration of foreign language information in the process of foreign language reading and its relation to comprehension of such information. The emphasis is laid on categorisation and the process of reading comprehension and its dependency to cognitive-social and behavioural scienses represented by the study programmes of the research participants and the combination of the study programmes. The research was carried out at the Constantine the Philosopher University in Nitra at the individual faculties/schools: Faculty of Arts, Faculty of Education, Facutly of Natural Sciences and Faculty of Central European Studies. The selected students studied English language as an optional subject. The research methods used in the current research study were as follows: PNS Scale (Thomson et al., 2001), test of foreign language competence (based on ISED -the level of language proficiency B1/B2). Results of the research showed dependency of foreign language reading comprehension on desire for structure of the students of behavioural sciences compared to the students of other study programmes from the other examined faculties.

The Iowa gambling task (IGT) was developed as a neuropsychological assessment of “real‐life” decision making in a laboratory setting by Bechara, Damasio, Damasio, and Anderson in . The IGT was originally implemented as a manual task during which the participants selected paper cards. The task has since evolved into a computerized assessment tool (Psychological Assessment Resources IGT or PAR™IGT) that uses only virtual cards and reinforcement schedules that are somewhat different from those in the original version. Caution should be used when psychological assessments change from manual to virtual formats. Such changes may unintentionally introduce confounds that render the 2 tests nonequivalent as shown with the Wisconsin Card Sorting Task by Steinmetz, Brunner, Loarer, and Houssemand in . In this study, we compared IGT performance when participants used either a laptop computer or a touchscreen tablet. Each device was used in 2 conditions: “involved” and “noninvolved.” Participants in the involved condition turned over physical cards and mimicked their own selections by clicking (laptop) or reaching out and touching (tablet) the corresponding virtual cards. Participants in the noninvolved condition only made selections of virtual cards, whereas an adjacent experimenter turned over the corresponding physical cards. Results showed that performance systematically and significantly improved as degree of physical involvement increased in the following order: laptop noninvolved (lowest performance), tablet noninvolved, laptop involved, and tablet involved (highest performance). In addition, participants' verbalized understanding of the task was significantly more accurate with increased physical involvement.
