SOC investigates three components of sense of coherence: sense of comprehensibility, manageability and meaningfullness. Statistical analysis of results was proceeded (analysis of correlations, variance and regression). Obtained results point on significant dependence of susceptibility for professional burning out (particularly emotional exhaustion) from components of sense of coherence. However the most interesting are results concerning the dependency between typological dynamics of coherence and professional burn-out.

The current article deals with issues related to organisational behaviours, as perceived in the light of social and economic transformations that are going on in our country. The author claims that a change in an organisation should be analysed from the point of view of an individual. Thus, the author points at the whole spectrum of individual behavioural reactions to the process of transformations – from resistance, through indifference, to enthusiasm andco-operation. These views lead the author to suggest a theoretical model of personal and situational determinants of readiness for change in organisation, which constitutes the basic theme of the article.

One characteristic of professionals is that they reflect on the nature of their discipline. Attention to the history of one’s discipline is an important way of doing this. The article reflects efforts to trace the historical roots of vocational theory. It locates some recognizable modern concepts in ancient civilizations (Eastern Mediterranean and Chinese), in a 10th century Iraqi, in late Renaissance Spain, in the mid 1700’s and 1800’s. It also discusses similarities between several ideas about the choice of an occupation that are echoed in contemporary career counselling theory as for example informed choice and person-occupation congruence.

Menopause Symptom List was developed in Australia as a tool to depict severity and intensity of symptoms related to menopause. Three scales of the questionnaire – psychological, vasomotor and somatic symptoms – were extracted by factor analysis. The paper gives account of the Polish version of the questionnaire (Moje samopoczucie), its validity and reliability. Factor analysis has confirmed the original 3 factors structure of the questionnaire. Realiability coefficients (test-retest, Cronbach’s and Spearmann-Brown’s coefficient) were sufficiently high. Validity was estimated by comparing the results of the questionnaire and a physician’s evaluation of intensity and severity of menopausal symptoms. Most subjects with high questionnaire scores were also given high scores on medical record. Results of women with different menopausal status were significantly different. The scores changed significantly in women treated with hormone replacement therapy. All these results indicate that Polish version of Menopause Symptom List is a valid tool to be used in studies on menopausal transition.

The purpose of the article is to present the main problems connected with the research into mood influence on different areas of human functioning. The author enumerates five basic problems which are: (1) the ambiguous use of the terms which refer to the affective processes, (2) the lack of mood induction procedure and the mood estimation measures which would prevent the subjects from guessing the aim of the study, (3) in the case of research into relatively permanent mood, the inconsistency which makes it impossible to clearly distinguish the individuals in a depressive mood from those who have been clinically diagnosed as suffering from depression, (4) the lack of research done on the subjects who are constantly in a positive mood, (5) the relatively small amount of research dealing with mood influence on specific aspects of human functioning as well as with meditative mechanisms. According to the author, finding the solution to the observed problems would make it possible to explain a lot of discrepancies in the results of already-conducted research.
