The purpose of the study was to compare the visuospatial decision-making error scores related to the perception of biological motion of individuals categorized as fi eld dependent or fi eld independent. A sample of 69 participants aged 18-27 years (M = 21.91, SD = 2.39) that included 33 males and 36 females completed the experiment. Cognitive style was assessed using the Group Embedded Figure Test. Perception of biological motion was evaluated using two different point-light stimuli developed from video images of a ballet dancer’s performance of a correct and incorrect turn in the fi fth position. The results showed that individuals classifi ed as fi eld independent made signifi cantly fewer visuospatial processing errors. The fi ndings are considered and discussed in relation to theoretical perspectives associated with both cognitive processing and cognitive style.

The study is trying to use ATS (Affective Tutoring System) with emotional calculating technology in the activity of the shell education program. The result is used to study the academic achievement of students with different cognitive styles and system usability. There were 61 fifth-grade children from two different classes participating in this experiment. Every child had to do GEFT (Group Figure-Embedded Test) and academic achievement pre-test before they started the ATS. Then students engaged in ATS learning. Academic achievement post-test was done and the System Usability Scale for Learning Questionnaire after they finished the ATS. The experiment yielded the following results: (1) Learning with ATS not only can give learners an excellent feeling of system usability, but also help learners to promote academic achievement more effectively. (2) According to the system usability and academic achievement, the Field-independent learners were acting better than the Field-dependent learners.

One of the main tools with which a teacher contributes to the effective education of students is the issue of learning styles. A teacher should not only be able to recognize these learning styles and respect them, but also to effectively influence them. If there occurs a failure to respect the learning styles of individual students as well as of those regarding the teacher's styles of teaching, one may lose original individuals, or thinkers (Mareš, 1998). In this study, attention is not only focused on the possibility that learning styles differ merely in terms of students’ individual attitudes, but also on the opportunities where learning styles may be significantly influenced by the nature of various fields of study. This article aims to present the results of a quasi-experiment which was conducted at the Institute of Business and Technology in České Budejovice during the academic year 2013/2014. The main purpose was to determine and take into account the differences in the learning styles among students of economic and technical study programmes.

The article deals with the specifics of teaching Russian to foreign students Turkic engineering profile with regard to their cognitive style and language. It is established that these students usually inherent an analytical cognitive style, according to which it is necessary to apply certain instructional techniques and learning strategies. The main of them can be considered: 1) the authenticity of the materials used; 2) the deductive, analyticpresentation of the material; 3) step by step, concentric presentation of the material; 4) work strictly on a pre-stated plan; 5) focus on the written aspect of speech; 6) consideration of the most difficult topics of grammar of the Russian language; 7) out of context grammar exercises; 8) emphasis on the clear guidelines that exclude footnotes; 9) numerous training materials for various engineering disciplines; 10) oral perform of all the exercises in the classroom and their subsequent recording from memory at home; 11) a teacher reading on tape all texts and exercises; 12) the analysis of the morphological structure of the words; 13) the thematic lists one root words and expressions; 14) the use of tables as illustrations; 15) summarizing, synthesizing the material at the end of the cycle. The posted strategy of learning Russian for teaching writing is based on the students’ cognitive style. It is proved that the differences in the Russian and Turkic languages have an interfering effect on the Russian speech of the students. It is found that grammatical difficulties are specific to a particular nation, namely Turkic audience, and relate to basic researches, which are of great theoretical and practical importance in teaching Russian as a foreign language. It is important to bear in mind that a number of phenomena of grammatical structure, texts in Russian and native languageshas a low frequency of a particular area of application in their native language, causing difficulties to the foreign Turkic-speaking students. The difficulties in the Russian and Turkic languages arise in the recognition of the semantic content of the live broadcast due to the interfering influence of the Turkic languages. To optimize teaching Russian to foreign students Turkic engineering profile it is expedient to use the principles, the methods and techniques relevant to develop the cognitive strategies, taking into account their cognitive preferences and typological differences in the Russian and native (Turkic) languages.

Individual differences in information processing are viewed through the concept of cognitive style. Cognitive style is displayed in various situations in working life in which the individual engages in problem solving, decision making or learning. The aim of this study was to analyse the relationships between personal (gender, age, level of education) and work-specific (position, field of trade, number of years of work experience in the field) variables and cognitive style. This research applies a quantitative design by using the Cognitive Style Index and a working environment index. Data were collected from 228 staff members in 100 small and medium-sized enterprises in Finland. The study replicated previous research findings in which women display a more analytical cognitive style than men. The lower the level of education, the higher the score is on the scale measuring analytic cognitive style. Regarding position in working hierarchies, the managers constituted the least analytic group in terms of cognitive style (convergent thinking with focus on detail), the workers the most analytic one. The experiences of a supportive working environment correlated positively with an intuitive cognitive style. The experiences of a prejudiced working environment correlated positively with an analytic cognitive style (divergent thinking with focus on the "big picture"). The implications for human resources management are outlined.

An analysis of consciousness is one of the key issue of the sociology of knowledge. Both the initiators and classics of this discipline dealt with it. Berger and Luckmann, the founders of a new paradigm in the area under considerations, also devoted much attention to it. They were interested in the common-sense consciousness, unlike their predecessors who were occupied with political, scientific, and world-view etc. consciousness. They dealt with this kind of consciousness in their most prominent book The Social Construction of Reality, and in numerous papers written separately by each of the authors. This paper puts together and orders various dispersed statements as regard the common-sense consciousness, in order to present it in a compact and complete picture.

Badania międzykulturowe w psychologii to jedne z najbardziej dynamicznie rozwijających na przestrzeni ostatnich lat. Zakres tematyki, jakiej te badania dotyczą jest bardzo szeroki: od zwykłych procesów i czynności rozwojowych, jak np. dorastanie, umieranie, aż po skomplikowane układy zależności, np. pomiędzy wymiarami osobowości a wymogami społeczno-środowiskowymi. W pracy skupiono się na tym, czy kraj pochodzenia różnicuje preferowany styl poznawczy na wymiarze abstrakcyjność–konkretność u osób badanych po 65 roku życia, pochodzących z Polski, Włoch i Białorusi. Na podstawie przeprowadzonych badań wykazano, że istnieją różnice w preferowanym stylu poznawczym w wymiarze abstrakcyjność–konkretność u osób badanych z Polski, Włoch i Białorusi. Osoby badane z grupy białoruskiej uzyskały najwyższe wyniki w wymiarze abstrakcyjność stylu poznawczego. Grupa polska okazała się być grupą osiągająca najwyższe wyniki w wymiarze konkretność stylu poznawczego. Osoby badane pochodzące z Włoch uzyskiwały wyższe wyniki w wymiarze abstrakcyjność stylu poznawczego w porównaniu z grupą polską, ale niższe w porównaniu z grupą białoruską. Powyższa analiza pozwala nam stwierdzić, że kraj pochodzenia osób badanych wpływał na preferowany styl poznawczy w wymiarze abstrakcyjność–konkretność u osób starzejących się z Polski, Włoch i Białorusi. Uzyskane wyniki mogą być użyteczne przy konstrukcji testów do badań międzykulturowych.

Summary: In the past years cross cultural studies have become more and more widespread. Scientists are trying to identify and describe the cultural differences between nations. Most multicultural studies are focused on how diverse children and adults are. One cannot find many studies devoted to the elderly. When we think about this group of people we should consider and focus on one of the most crucial aspects – cognitive thinking. In our work we have decided to concentrate on cognitive styles in the dimension of abstract-concrete reasoning. The main aim of this thesis was to combine elderly people, cognitive styles and different cultures (Poland, Italy and Belarus). In our thesis we try to show the impact of culture on the mode how people over 65 years old categorize the world. mpirical research has shown that people coming from Belarus presented the most abstract way of reasoning. Right after them was a group from Italy. The most concrete way of reasoning was present among the study group from Poland. Moreover, we discovered that sex influenced the results in the Polish and Belorussian groups. Men tended to be more abstract in reasoning that women in those two groups. From these results we can draw the conclusion that culture can influence how people categorise and perceive the world they are living in. We assume that this information can be useful in preparing tests for multicultural studies and for analyzing data from this type of studies.

The article addresses people’s coping with social manipulation and, from this perspective, outlines the relevance of individuals’ dispositional and situational factors. Dispositional factors, such as social intelligence, emotional intelligence, cognitive styles and creative thinking, promote constructive coping with social manipulation which unsettles people’s mental balance. The damage that manipulation does to subjectivity causes stress, a sense of wrong and, consequently, the loss of dignity. The cited research findings show how people can use active and passive strategies in coping with manipulative behaviours.

W artykule poruszono problematykę radzenia sobie z manipulacją społeczną, i z takiej perspektywy zarysowano znaczenie czynników dyspozycyjnych i sytuacyjnych jednostki. Czynniki dyspozycyjne, np. inteligencja społeczna, inteligencja emocjonalna, kompetencje społeczne, twórcze myślenie, umożliwiają konstruktywne radzenie sobie w warunkach manipulacji społecznej – warunkach, które zaburzają równowagę psychiczną. Naruszenie podmiotowości w warunkach manipulacji wywołuje stres, poczucie krzywdy, a w konsekwencji utratę godności. Rezultaty przytoczonych w artykule badań ukazują możliwości aktywnego i biernego radzenia sobie z zachowaniami o charakterze manipulacji.
