The authors investigated whether couples' attachment styles have an impact on perceived social support from partner and on support provided by partner. Eighty-seven couples (174 individuals) completed questionnaires measuring perceived social support from partner (SWS-P scale) and providing partner with the social support (PDWS-P scale). The discrepancy indices (e.g., discrepancy between support provided by wife and husband's perception of support from wife) were employed among depended variables. Adult Attachment Questionnaire (Hazan & Shaver, 1987) was used to measure attachment styles. Husband's attachment style predicted social support in men but not in women. Secure husbands perceived more social support from wives and provided wives with more support than insecure husbands. Moreover, husbands attachment styles accounted for the variance of discrepancy indices of social support (e.g., actual reciprocity of social support). The results show that attachment styles (as probably other personality variables) should be considered in social support studies.

Fear of Pain Questionnaire (FPQ-III) is a self-report measure designed to assess fears about pain across three pain dimensions: severe, minor and medical. The objective of the study was to develop a Polish version of FPQ-III and to examine its psychometric properties. The data were collected among 338 individuals (59% women), aged from 16 to 65. The results confirm that FPQ-III is internally consistent and stable measure of fear of pain and its dimensions. The results of confirmatory factor analysis suggested good fit of the three-factor model. To test the criterion validity, correlation analyses between anxiety, passive coping with pain, self-efficacy, pain intensity and fear of pain were performed. Preliminary results yielded that the Polish version of FPQ-III questionnaire might be a viable and reliable measure.

The study tested whether (a) temperamental reactivity was related to intrinsic and extrinsic goals, (b) reactivity and goals predicted subjective well-being (SWB). The data were collected in the Polish General Social Survey on the representative national sample (N = 1221). Participants completed a questionnaire to measure SWB, reactivity, and personal - extrinsic and intrinsic - goals. SWB was defined as life satisfaction, frequency of positive and negative affect, and intensity of somatic complaints. Assuming that temperamental reactivity is a context dependant variable, two aspects of it were distinguished: emotional reactivity and work related reactivity. Controlling for social-demographic variables, results of hierarchical regression analyzes showed (a) negative effect of emotional reactivity on intrinsic and extrinsic goals, (b) negative effect of both aspects of reactivity on SWB, (c) positive effect of intrinsic goals on SWB (except for one component of SWB - somatic complaints). Extrinsic goals were not related to the SWB. Marginal support was found for the hypothesis that goals moderate relationship between reactivity and SWB. The size of negative effect of emotional reactivity on life satisfaction was weaker for those participants who were either high in intrinsic goals or low in extrinsic goals. The need for further research on temperamental and personality mechanisms as the determinants of the SWB is discussed.

This article seeks to further our understanding of relationships between individual characteristics (age, education, two components of Type A – anger and achievement) and subjective well-being (SWB). Goals (affiliation and agency goals) were studied both as predictors of SWB and as moderators of relations between individual characteristics and SWB. The SWB components were: somatic symptoms, life satisfaction, frequency of positive and negative mood. The data from Polish General Social Survey collected on the representative national sample (N = 1221) showed that education was positively related to SWB. Age was a negative predictor of all SWB indices (with the exception of negative mood). Two components of Type A were differently related to SWB: anger was a negative predictor of SWB, whereas achievement was positively related to SWB. Affiliation but not agency goals predicted high level of SWB. Partial support was found for the hypothesis that goals moderated relations between individual characteristics and SWB. Post Scriptum -'Personality' (top-bottom) approach to SWB has been offered as an alternative to studies of the impact of situational factors and life events on SWB (bottom-up models of SWB). However, the 'bottom' effects on SWB were found to be small and restricted to only 'fresh' events (cf., Suh, Diener, & Fujita, 1996).
