In the article, the authors deal with the institute of probation, mediation and its relevance in the legal system of the state. Probation and mediation, as cardinal elements of restorative justice, play a relevant position in the legal system of the state and help its effective functioning. Probation and mediation are characterized by assistance and support for perpetrators, but of course also for victims of crime. They create a kind of picture of the correct principle, where the state helps the victim of a crime to overcome the damage caused to him as a result of the crime and at the same time helps the convicted offender to realize what he caused and also to integrate into society after serving the sentence.

Mediation and other similar forms originating from the catalogue of alternative methods of resolution of conflicts are easily applicable to the resolution of all kinds of disputes and conflicts, as well as some of those that arise in the sphere of activity of public administration. In legal acts that are part of the Polish administrative law system, there exist forms close in their nature to mediation. Public administration bodies can in fact play the role of a mediator while taking action that leads to conciliation between the parties of the dispute. There are no formal obstacles for public administration to take non-executive forms of action and to bilaterally initiate the implementation of unformalised alternative methods of resolution of disputes, including mediation. Of course, some administrative disputes, with regard to their character, are not subject to being resolved by means of ADR. The problems connected with mediation in administration that are di-scussed in the present paper seem to constitute an interesting interdisciplinary subject of investigation with-in political sciences. It appears reasonable to assume that a start of such an investigation by Polish political scientists would enrich the catalogue of research topics with interesting and attractive range of problems, and at the same time world-wide trends in political sciences would be followed. Moreover, Polish political science would enter the sphere of the humanities, whose representatives have already taken up advanced research locally in Poland. One can also expect practical benefits of such scientific analyses in the form of modernization projects aimed at Polish political system, taking into consideration its specific nature and tradition.

The aim of this paper is to analyse the impact of the exhibition on visitors’ thinking process. Applying Greiman’s model, we used the exhibition DeTermination by the artist Daniel Pešta at the DOX Centre for Contemporary Art in Prague and explored the exhibition as a story. The model is used as a tool to better understand the thinking process of the visitor stimulated by the exhibition. Qualitative research approach was used. In order to capture a message of the exhibition, interviews with exhibition creators were conducted and afterward interviews with exhibition visitors. This article summarizes the creative methodology created by the authors, followed by a discourse analysis. The study asks questions like: what is the place of mediation in contemporary art? What is the impact of an exhibition on visitors´ thinking process?

Conspiracy theories can present a threat to society. Both conspiracy and populist beliefs describe society as a struggle between powerful elites and common people, where those individuals feeling powerless or deprived are more gullible to such beliefs. This paper explores the relationship between relative deprivation and conspiracy mentality. It argues that the anti-elitism and popular sovereignty that represent populist attitudes mediate this relationship. The present study draws on a nationally representative sample of the Slovak population aged 18 and above (N = 832). The data were collected online through a research agency. The mediation model was tested using the R program. The effects were tested using a sensitivity analysis. The results have shown that feelings of relative deprivation transfer into a stronger conspiracy mentality. Moreover, the effect on conspiracy mentality was found to be partially mediated by populist attitudes and in particular by anti-elitism and populist sovereignty. In this respect, the study presents a more detailed understanding of the beliefs that drive conspiracy mentality.

The paper deals with the problem of concept and image as independent forms of mediating the thought. A specific role in incorporating the media of concept and image into the system of thought is played by the mediality itself, which operates as an entity mediating between heterogeneous worlds. The symbolized messages of the concept and image thus represent using the dispositive of representation between the visual and intellectual worlds. The author takes the concept as the initial form of thought, which describes the object from the perspective of its being without making any propositions about it; the image, on the other hand, is taken as a sensory representation of the object. However, each of them is only a particular form of mediation. Representing a concept thus means taking the thought as a conceptual representation.

The aim of the study was to explore direct and indirect pathways from cognitive factors (academic and social self-perception) to adolescent well-being through school belonging. The direct and indirect effects of cognitive factors were investigated on both concurrent and prospective well-being indicators. The first data collection was held in the beginning of the school year, the study sample consisted of 139 freshmen of three high schools in Nitra (53 boys, 86 girls, Mage = 15.63, SD = 1.15). The second data collection was held six months later from 109 respondents (40 boys, 69 girls, Mage = 15.16). Self-report questionnaires were utilized. Results showed that school belonging mediated the association between social and academic competence and students’ concurrent optimism, connectedness and happiness. School belonging also mediated the relationship of social competence to prospective optimism, connectedness and happiness. Findings suggest that a developed sense of connection to school in the transition period may promote overall well-being in adolescents.

Th. W. Adorno’s aesthetics represents a comprehensive reflection on a number of important topics in aesthetic research. Among them is the issue of the aesthetic experience generated by the beauty of nature. In the perspective of Adorno’s theory, the experience of natural beauty is described as a quality that forms in an immanent relation to the historical and social reality of humans. In the first place, one can observe the fundamental dependence of natural beauty on the degree of social domination of nature. By failing to reflect on this social mediation, the experience of natural beauty appears to be immediate and creates the deceptive fantasy of the primordial form of nature. However, at the same time, Adorno uncovers a positive potential in the experience of natural beauty – it lies in the ability to transcend a power-based subjectivity that reduces reality to the substrate of the domination. By means of the transcendence of subjectivity, the experience of natural beauty opens up the possibility to perceive and approach reality in the unreduced fullness of its qualities while also anticipating a reconciliation of man with nature in an allegorical way. The aim of my study is to describe the sketched aspects of the experience of natural beauty.

One of the important questions discussed by philosophers of technology has to do with the moral significance of artefacts in human life. While many philosophers agree that artefacts do have moral significance attached to them, opinions vary as to how it is to be construed. In this paper we deal with the approach of the influential Dutch philosopher of technology Peter Paul Verbeek. He criticizes traditional ethical theories for assuming that whatever relevancy artefacts have for morality is entirely dependent on human beings, since artefacts are mere passive instruments of human agency. In contrast, he develops a view of moral agency that includes artefacts and that ascribes moral agency to human-technology hybrids rather than to humans as such. The goal of this paper is to elucidate Verbeek’s account of moral agency and evaluate it. We also deal with his views on post phenomenology and mediation underlying this account. Although the general gist of our paper is expository, we point out to several problems for Verbeek’s account.

This article discusses the topic of suppression effects that have often been reported in recent social psycho¬logical literature. Suppression takes place when a mediating variable enhances predictive power of inde¬pendent variable on dependent variable. In this way we are able to capture with statistical analyses all sorts of theories of opponent processes that appear not only in motivation psychology but also in other areas of social psychology. Using latest social/personality psychology research examples, we describe three types of suppression effects (classical, net and cooperative) with possibilities of their use in research. At the end of the article we propose an example of suppression analysis conducted on a fictional dataset.

This article is an attempt to ascertain whether it is possible that a permanent experience of helplessness, senselessness and alienation from socio-political reality leads to an individual having ethnocentric attitudes. The supposition that there is a causal relation between the two phenomena would imply that people who feel lost and disoriented tend to have a strong sense of national identity. The empirical data used in the analyses was taken from a survey conducted among a nationwide representative sample of adult Poles (N=1522). The set of hierarchical regression analyses showed that the relations which were observed can be explained as being the effect of the joint operation of two separate mechanisms. Firstly, this is influenced partly by the fact that growing ethnocentrism and increasing anomie and alienation are common among elderly and poorly-educated people. The second mechanism consist of finding that people who experience feelings of socio-political senselessness and helplessness have a tendency to look for compensation in authoritarian-paranoid worldviews. It would seem that authoritarian-paranoid beliefs can be seen as being a mediator between social anomie and political alienation, on the one hand, and ethnocentric attitudes on the other.
