“…Some attempts have been made to develop measurement instruments within an integrated resource framework (Foa & Bosman, 1979;Fulton-Picot, Youngblut, & Zeller, 1997;Nuckolls, Cassel, & Kaplan, 1972). Yet these instruments are seldom used since they have displayed low internal consistency within resource types (Stangl, 1993) or are highly context-specific (e.g. scales that measure resources used during pregnancy and resources used by caregivers; Fulton-Picot et al, 1997;Nuckolls et al, 1972).…”

Looking back in order to predict the future: Relative resource assessments and their relationship to future expectations

In this research, we investigated how relative resource assessments relate to future expectations. In previous research, resources are typically studied separately, and contextual influences and reference-point dependencies are often ignored. We addressed this in an online survey in which Icelanders (N = 611) assessed their economic, temporal, social, and emotional resources using four reference points (wants, others, past, future). We used exploratory factor analysis to reduce the four resources into three reliable factors: economic, temporal, and socio-emotional resources. Using hierarchical regression we found that assessments of socio-emotional and economic resources were related to future expectations, even after controlling for more objective resource markers, such as income and education. This relationship was strongest when past resources were used as the reference point for assessing current resources. We interpret these findings as suggesting that temporal comparisons to the past become more salient during times of instability, as Icelanders have recently gone through much economic and political turmoil. A psychological challenge for individuals recovering from economic collapse is to abstain from comparing current with past resource levels, as it elicits a loss experience. Overcoming a feeling that "it was better before" seems vital in re-establishing optimistic future expectations.Keywords: relative resource assessments, reference points, temporal relative deprivation, future expectations, optimism, worry It is well established that economic resources are positively related to well-being and positive future expectations (Diener & Biswas-Diener, 2002). Possessing a large resource reservoir makes individuals less vulnerable and facilitates the attainment of more resources (Hobfoll, 2002). Individuals who have enough resources therefore have good grounds for viewing the future brightly, as they can rest secure in the knowledge that they will most likely be able to face life's adversities. In contrast, people who feel that their resources are lacking may be worried about the future, as this exposes them to vulnerabilities ensued by negative events. But, how do you know if your current standing gives you cause for concern or optimism? Perhaps a subjective assessment of the available resources is as important as your objective resource levels!

Çalışmada 366 tane anket uygulanmıştır. Araştırma verileri SPSS 11,5 aracılığıyla işlenmiştir. Sorular tek cümleler (single item) halinde hazırlanmıştır. Soruların seçenekleri beşli likert ölçeğine uygun olarak düzenlenmiştir.

ATTITUDE AND BEHAVIOUR DIFFERENCES OF ADOLESCENCE IN MIDDLE AND LATE ADOLESCET TERMS AbstractAdolescence is the process of transition from childhood to adulthood. This process is discussed in the context of resource theory and social control theory in this work. Describing the differences between the attitudes and behaviors of adolescents is underlined as our general objective. Data is collected by surveys as it is proper method for collecting quantitative information. 366 surveys were carried out in this work. Survey data were processed via SPSS 11.5.

It is observed that there are differences in the attitudes and behaviors in exchanges of love and status between adolescents and parents, and in parental relation and conflict areas.

“…Модель соціального обміну ресурсами, давно відома в економічній психології [56], використовується в організаційній психології [164], але найбільше вона опрацьована у психології споживача [517]. Саме в цих прикладних галузях ґрунтовно розроблені моделі прийняття рішення за принципом обміну (принцип угоди або придбання товару).…”

У монографії висвітлюється така закономірність розвитку територіальних спільнот у сучасному світі, як зростання їхніх рефлексивних властивостей. Пропонується соціальнопсихологічна концепція рефлексивного капіталу територіальних спільнот, яка об’єднує умовно суперечливі концепти соціального і креативного капіталів. Представлено емпірично виявлені зв’язки рефлексивних властивостей територіальних спільнот різного масштабу – від сусідської громади до регіонів. Показано роль рефлексивного капіталу в розв’язанні таких проблем, як гуманізація стосунків (профілактика цькування у шкільній спільноті), переживання нащадками наслідків історичної травми Голодомору і конструювання єдності країни, запобігання трагедіям спільного блага громади, врахування регіонального рівня медіакультури, підвищення рефлективності лідерів і діалогу з громадою. Матеріал викладається у традиції рефлексивної дії, що забезпечує широкий простір для пізнавальної активності читача, який прагне до внутрішньої роботи з проникнення в задуми автора та його колег. Монографія розрахована на психологів, методологів, фахівців у галузі розвитку громад, спеціалістів-практиків у сфері управління людськими ресурсами, державного і муніципального управління, прийняття рішень. Може бути корисною студентам із психологічних, економічних спеціальностей.
