Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine the attitudes of a group of nurses towards lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender individuals. Materials and methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out with 358 nurses working in a hospital in the northern region of Turkey between December 2016- February 2017. The data were collected using the personal information form and the Hudson and Ricketts Homophobia Scale. Kruskal Wallis, Mann Whitney U test, Single Factor Variance Analysis, ttest and correlation were used in the analysis of the data. Ethical approval was obtained from the Clinical Research Ethics Committee of an university. Results: The mean score of the scale of the nurses was found as 111.5±20.7. Nurses who stated that they did not want to communicate with lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people were found to be more homophobic than the nurses who stated that they wanted to communicate with them. It was also found that the nurses who define themselves as ‘traditional’ were more homophobic than those who define themselves as ‘not traditional’ (p <0.05).The relationship between the nurses' knowledge towards lesbian, gay, bisexual and transsexual individuals and their attitudes towards these individuals was found to be significant similar to the previous international studies. Conclusions: The findings of this study indicate that the level of education, the level of acquaintance with LGBT individuals and the knowledge of LGBT individuals has an effect on the homophobic attitude

In response to a dramatic increase of illegal immigration in the European Union, in the fall of 2015 Latvia agreed to accept several hundreds of refugees on its soil. Nevertheless, Latvian society remains very sceptic about these plans, and reportedly demonstrates strong negative attitudes towards refugees. According to the survey, by the end of 2015 the factual experience of interaction with refugees did not exceed ten per cent of Latvian population. This suggests that most of the real attitudes are formed by mass media and other socialisation agents. In order to uncover the nature of these feelings, the present study has been designed to make an in-depth social psychological study on attitudes. One thousand Latvian residents evenly representing Latvia’s demography have taken part in this study. A modified Stephan’s Prejudicial Attitude Survey has been used to study prejudice. Negative stereotyping represents one of the emotional components of attitudes towards refugees. The results illustrate the palette of emotions and the level of their expression in Latvian society, and highlight the feelings, which may shape the identity of the in-group.

The study analyses answer given to three questions part of a nationally representative survey on linguistic attitudes towards written grammatical norms. These questions are aimed at gathering information about the possible attitudes of modern Bulgarians towards the magnitude distance between the Bulgarian written standard language and oral speech. Another aim of the study is to explore respondents‘ preferences concerning the question of synchronization between the two existing language forms - written and oral. The survey clearly shows that more than 61% of respondents are of the opinion that the differences between the Bulgarian written and spoken language should be decreased, respectively, there needs to be a process of convergence and equalization of the two language codes. The study applies the hyper-square method in order to explore which socio-demographic factors have a major influence on respondents‘ attitudes. The domineering view (69% of the respondents) is that oral speech should be in line with the Bulgarian written standard language, consequently, grammatical rules should be followed and taken on board when speaking. Finally, the chi-square method is applied when defining the factors which determine the respondents‘ attitudes. The study introduces the idea that conservative attitudes are likely to appear amongst Bulgarian adults as they have the idea of decreasing the differences between the Bulgarian written and oral language by finding a way of synchronizing them.

The gaming sector is currently, with about 3 billion gamers worldwide, one of the best developing segments in society, not negatively affected even by the COVID-19 pandemic. As the interest in working in this sector increases, so does the interest in higher education in this field. Although the first steps in establishing game studies on the academic grounds date back to the 1980s, this study field institutionalization beginnings can be talked about since 2000 with occurring the ludology definition and the emergence of the first game-oriented scientific journals. Despite the difficult start, in the present, studying digital games is not so limited, partial as well as full degree study programs appear at universities all around the world, but high school graduates are often not aware of these options, even in their nearest surroundings. The study aims to identify the level of awareness of the possibilities within higher education in the field of digital game studies and to determine the attitudes of potential future university students to this field of education in Slovakia that in recent years has significantly eliminated the gap between the level of the Slovak and the Western (or world) gaming sector after the fall of the Iron Curtain. In the study, the authors respond to the three main problems via research completed with a representative sample of respondents. Data show that the level of awareness about these study options if is insufficient, but not lower than the awareness about other study programs. The discovered attitudes are of little consistence and their valency tends from neutral to slightly negative. However, statistics show that respondents perceive the study program of digital gaming as potentially pleasant and at the same time, there is a significant correlation between playing digital games and displaying positive attitudes towards potential studying of the field in the target group.

Attitudes, including beliefs, values, and motivation are within the scope of interest of numerous fields of study such as psychology, philosophy, sociology, and anthropology. In psychology, attitudes related to affective, cognitive and, in particular, behavioral reactions are studied. It is believed that attitudes do not only affect the behavior of the individual, but also their ways of evaluating specific actions. At the same time, empirical research in this area is extremely problematic and conditioned by many individual differences (e.g. age, gender, place of residence, personality traits, etc.). On the other hand, in glottodidactics, the common trend in this type of research is analysis of students’ attitudes (including motivation) towards a foreign language and its culture(s). The purpose of the article is to briefly present the methodology of research on attitudes towards learning different languages. First, we review the concepts of attitudes, beliefs, values, and motivation from a psychological and didactic perspective. We also focus our attention on the types of attitude measurement used (which include motivation). Finally, we present some results of research conducted for the first time in Poland in the field of attitudes and motivation of secondary school students towards learning Spanish.

The use of new technologies has brought many changes into consumer behaviour, especially into purchasing process. The aim of the article is to uncover the attitudes of different generations towards usage of new technologies in purchasing process and determine if the diffusion of innovative purchasing process is significantly different among different generations. The article presents the results of authors´ research of usage of new technologies in purchasing process, as well as attitudes towards it, among different age groups - Generation X, Y, Z and seniors. Results of hybrid research carried out by semi-structured interviews with 551 respondents show, that there are significant generational differences in all three components of attitude towards online purchase, which can be - due to its characteristics- considered the most complex use of new technologies in purchasing process. Results prove that the diffusion of innovation in the purchasing process is significantly influenced by the age group. With age the number of Innovators significantly drops and the percentage of Laggards rises. The ratio of those adopting “early” and “late” significantly changes according to age group as well. Majority of younger respondents are accepting the new technologies into purchasing process early (Innovators, Early Adopters, Early Majority). Middle-aged consumers accept the innovations proportionally - copying the Roger´s curve. Among seniors, the majority is “late” (Late Majority and Laggards).

Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie wyników oryginalnych badań dotyczących uwarunkowań skuteczności cause-related marketing. Badania przeprowadzono w drodze eksperymentu, a ich celem było określenie związku między znaczeniem sprawy społecznej dla konsumentów oraz ich postawami wobec działań społecznie odpowiedzialnych a intencją zakupu produktu z atrybutem wspierania sprawy społecznej. Empiryczna weryfikacja hipotez potwierdza, że czynniki te różnicują skłonność do zakupu takiego produktu. Zgodnie z założeniem pozytywny związek między zmiennymi nie będzie wzmacniany ani typem produktu, ani stopniem dopasowania sprawy do produktu. Natomiast znaczenie sprawy społecznej samo w sobie wpływa na postawy konsumentów. Z badań wynika także, że altruistyczna użyteczność (związana z bodźcem darowizny) będzie bardziej skuteczna w stymulowaniu zakupów niż bodziec monetarny, gdy konsumenci będą bardziej przychylnie nastawieni do CrM i gdy sprawa społeczna będzie miała dla nich duże znaczenie.

The objective of article is to present the results of the original research on the determinants of cause-related marketing effectiveness. The research was conducted by experiment, and their objective was to determine the relationship between the cause affinity and consumers attitudes towards socially responsible activities and the intention to purchase products that “support social cause”. The empirical testing of hypotheses is confirming, that these factors differentiate the willingness to purchase such product. As established, a positive relationship between the variables will not be strengthened through neither product type or product-cause fit. However cause affinity, in itself, affects consumer attitudes. The research also shows, that altruistic utility associated with the stimulus donation will be more effective in stimulating purchases than monetary stimulus when consumers will be have more favorable attitudes towards the CrM and when cause affinity will be outweighing for them.

Internet daje bowiem możliwości przeprowadzania interaktywnego dyskursu o postawach i wartościach. Poprzez aplikacje przykładów teoretycznych z zakresu socjologii, antropologii i psychologii społecznej, przedstawiony jest proces kształtowania się wartości i postaw podczas odwiedzania popularnej strony oraz kwestia wyróżnienia, na jakie wartości użytkownicy strony Demotywatory.pl najczęściej zwracają uwagę.

Celem opracowania jest identyfikacja zjawiska podwójnego zagrożenia na rynku usług finansowych. W szczególności podjęto tu próbę określenia tego zjawiska w dwóch jego wymiarach związanych z lojalnością konsumentów, a także postawami konsumenckimi. Przeprowadzone analizy wskazują na istnienie tego zjawiska. Konsumenci są najbardziej lojalni (niezależnie od przyjętego wskaźnika) względem tych instytucji, które najdłużej działają na polskim rynku, oraz tych, z których usługami mają największe doświadczenie. Ponadto darzą dużo większym zaufaniem instytucje finansowe działające zdecydowanie najdłużej na polskim rynku, czyli banki i towarzystwa ubezpieczeniowe. Poziom zaufania do pozostałych instytucji na polskim rynku jest zdecydowanie niższy.

The aim of the study is to identify the phenomenon of double jeopardy on the financial services market. In particular, the article attempts to define the phenomenon in its two dimensions related to the loyalty of consumers, and consumer attitudes. The study indicates the existence of this phenomenon. Consumers are most loyal (regardless of the two adopted indicator) in relation to those institutions that have the longest operating on the Polish market, and those services which have the greatest experience. In addition, consumers have much greater confidence in financial institutions by far the longest on the Polish market, namely banks and insurance companies. The level of trust in the other on the Polish market institutions is much lower.

This paper explores the interrelationship of those human factors which influence the perception of price fairness. Previous empirical research reveals that these factors include in addition to human perception, also attitudes, satisfaction, relationships and trust. Past studies focused on isolated, individual components in specific contexts but not on how these components are interrelated and affect one another. In line with Systems Theory this paper investigates the interrelationship of these components. Since positive relationships create more trust greater tolerance for divergence emerges. Hence expectations are more likely to be confirmed which increases satisfaction and improves relationships which, in turn, has a positive impact on perceived price fairness.

Zainteresowanie twórczością Małgorzaty Musierowicz, adresowaną głównie do młodzieży, można zrozumieć lepiej po lekturze jej blogu. To druga płaszczyzna wychowawczych oddziaływań autorki w kierunku utrwalania uniwersalnych wartości poprzez tworzenie wspólnot wokół ważnych problemów. Najważniejsza idea konsekwentnie przez nią realizowana związana jest z książką. Skupia się na dyskusjach o książkach jej autorstwa, ale i na zachęcie do czytania w ogóle. Tworzy się w ten sposób grupa aktywnych czytelniczek i czytelników, wymieniających opinie na temat różnorodnych spraw: świąt i ich wielkiej roli w budowaniu tradycji, uroczystości religijnych, sportu. Krąg miłośników pisarki stale się powiększa, czego dowodzi liczba odwiedzin na jej stronie. Teksty, dialogi, fragmenty przytaczanych utworów i „rozmowy” z czytelnikami świadczą o tym, jak niezwykłą osobowością jest autorka „Jeżycjady”, dowodzą także żywego zainteresowania jej twórczością. Wykształcenie plastyczne pozwala M. Musierowicz operować nie tylko słowem, ale i obrazem, fotografią, rysunkiem, animacją, tworzyć swoiste hipermedia, charakterystyczne dla tego nowego rodzaju komunikacji.

EN

The interest in Małgorzata Musierowicz’s works which are intended mainly for young people, may be understood better owing to a reading of her blog. This is another platform of the author’s educational impact whose purpose is to solidify universal values by means of establishing communities around crucial problems. The principal, most important idea which is consistently realised by the author is associated with books. The idea focuses on discussions about Musierowicz’s books and on incentives to read other works as well. Thus she establishes a group of active male and female readers. She also extends the community around various problems: holidays and their great significance in the fostering of traditions, religious festivities and sports in a broad context. The circle of the enthusiasts of the works of this author grows constantly, which is attested by the number of visitors to her website. The texts, dialogues and fragments of works that are adduced, as well as the “conversation” of the author with her readers, are testimony to the remarkable nature of her personality and the passionate appeal generated by her works. M. Musierowicz’s education in the field of art enables her to manipulate not only words but also images, photographs, drawings, animations, thus engendering peculiar hypermedia which are characteristic of a new mode of communication.
