The study is linked to our previous research that focused on the analysis of attitudes of middleaged people towards aging in relation to their level of self-control and life satisfaction. The aim of the presented study was to find out the relationship between positive and negative attitudes of middle-aged people towards aging on one side and their level of self-control and self-care on the other. The sample consisted of 121 respondents (82 women and 39 men) between 40 and 50 years of age. Three methodologies were used in the research: RAQ (Gething, 1994, Scale tracing attitudes to processes of aging), Scale of self-control (SCS) (Tangney, Baumeister, Boone, 2004) and questionnaire monitoring the level of self-care (Lovaš, 2010). Analysis consisted of descriptive analysis, correlation analysis and one-way dispersion analysis. The results supported that respondents with negative attitude to aging show lower level of self-control and also lower level of self-care and, vice versa, that respondents with positive attitude show higher level of self-control and self-care – as confirmed by the analysis. The results revealed medium level of relation between self-control and self-care. Generic differences proved true only in the case of self-care.

Prezentovaná štúdia1 sa týka výskumu postojov strednej generácie k procesom starnutia vo vzťahu k miere sebakontroly a celkovej životnej spokojnosti. Naším cieľom bolo zistiť vzťah medzi pozitívnym a negatívnym postojom k starnutiu ľudí v strednom veku a mierou starostlivosti o seba a sebakontrolou. Vzorku tvorilo 121 (39 mužov a 82 žien) respondentov/tiek vo vekovom rozpätí 40 - 50 rokov. Vo výskume boli použité 3 metodiky: RAQ (Gething, 1994, Škála zaznamenávajúca postoje k procesom starnutia), Škála sebakontroly SCS (Tangney, Baumeister, Boone, 2004) a dotazník monitorujúci mieru starostlivosti o seba (Lovaš, 2010). Pri analýze bola použitá deskriptívna štatistika, korelačná analýza a jednovchodová analýza rozptylu. Výsledky ukázali, že respondenti s negatívnym postojom vykazujú nižšiu mieru sebakontroly a v súvislosti s tým aj nižšiu mieru starostlivosti o seba, a naopak respondenti s pozitívnym postojom vykazujú vyššiu mieru sebakontroly a vyššiu mieru starostlivosti - čo analýza potvrdila. Výsledky poukazujú na strednú mieru vzťahu medzi sebakontrolou a starostlivosťou o seba. Rodové rozdiely sa preukázali len v starostlivosti o seba.

The axe-like iron bar forged from iron has a form of an elongated axe with a low blade and a wedge fitted with a short lug and small ears. Artefacts similar to the presented one have been found only in few sites to the north and more numerous sites to the south of the Carpathians. The axe-like iron bar from Modlnica represents the Lesser Poland (Vistulan) type. It can be dated, merely on the basis of analogies, to the 9th c.

In the collection of the Archeological Museum in Kraków there is a stone statue (inv. no: MAK/7911), belonging to examples of monumental statue sculptures. It was created by the Turkic - Mongol nomads who arrived in the Black Sea region in the mid-11th century, and were known in Europe as the Cumans, Kipchaks or Polovtsy. Details presented on the stone figure from the Krakow collection find their analogies in the material obtained from Polovtsian grave inventories. Dating of all the above described elements indicates the period from the mid-11th c. to the turn of the 13th and 14th century. Erecting figures representing images of women and men on older burial mounds served various functions in the Polovtsian culture.

The aim of this articole is to discover traces of humanitas in late antique and mediaval literature. Starting from the classic meaning of this notion, the paper finds three meaningful episodes: the controversy between Ambrosius and Symmachus about the Altar of Victory, the Dialogue of a Philosopher with a Jew and a Christian by Peter Abelard and the spread of the Life of Balaam and Josaphat. Through these examples, the article builds a new idea of humanitas, free from historical restricion, a blend of literary passion, acceptance of diversity and multiculturalism.

A sculpture representing the so called “Polovtsian baba” (no MAK/7911;) was made available for a dissertation in the Stone Sculpture, Stucco and Ceramics Conservation Workshop in the Academy of Fine Arts in Krakow (conservation no – 537), in order to carry out research and subject it to conservation treatment, which would allow the statue to be exhibited in the open air. The technical and plastic conservation was conducted in the years 2005-2007. Photographic and descriptive documentation was collected, and laboratory examination was conducted (including the following analyses: petrographic, chemical - of salinity and types of pigments and mortars, microbiological), technical treatment was applied to the statue and, to a limited extent aesthetic – plastic conservation was carried out. A metal construction was designed and made to stabilise the sculpture and to enable it to be permanently exhibited in the vertical position.

Background In Poland average life expectancy extends, while the number of the elderly who are active in the labor market decreases. Material and Methods The study population consisted of 429 people aged 50–70 years old living in the community of south-eastern Poland. The respondents were divided into 2 study groups: group I – late middle age (50–60 years old) and group II – early old age (61–70 years old). With the use of questionnaires they were given, we obtained their socio-demographic data, assessed their cognitive and emotional state, as their physical activity levels. We used the Tinetti test to assess their gait and balance. Results We did not find statistically significant difference in cognitive functioning between the studied groups (p = 0.109). Moreover, there was no significant relationship between belonging to an age group and suffering from depression (p = 0.06) as well as no major differences were observed in the general level of physical activity in relation to age (p = 0.112). Our study found that most of our subjects, regardless of gender, declared their willingness to continue professional work after reaching retirement age. Conclusions The results of own research did not show significant differences in psychophysical state between people in late middle age and at the beginning of old age. Most of the researched participants declared their willingness to continue professional work. Due to changing demographic conditions, it is becoming an important issue to maintain the highest possible level of professional activity of older people in the labor market in Poland.

The article describes results of research, whose aim was to distinguish different types of women day-dreamers, taking into consideration the changes in day-dreaming occurring over the development from adolescence to middle age. For the purpose of defining precisely the meaning of the "day-dream" concept, the definitions of this term proposed by various authors were analyzed. To situate day-dreaming within the life span, the conception of Levinson was used. To analyze the results of research, an eclectic categorization as used. The mid-life crisis and its connections with day-dreaming were also described. One-hundred-twelve women, aged 35-50 with the secondary education and higher, participated in research. The following research methods were used: the structured interview concerning dreams and The Midlife Crisis Questionnaire (version for women by Oleś and Baranowska, 2003). Cluster analysis was used as a statistical method. Five types of day-dreamers were distinguished, taking into consideration the following criteria: the contents of youthful dreams, origin, a degree of concreteness and the feeling of fulfillment of youthful dreams, the boldness of current dreams and the faith into their fulfillment. Types of dreamers: 1) stable traditional, 2) mutable traditional - autonomic, 3) stable autonomic, 4) mutable autonomic, 5) moderate stable traditional - autonomic. The associations of the particular types of dreamers with dimensions of mid-life crisis were also analyzed and the typology was found to be related to the scores on the Negative Changes Awareness scale.

The article aims to outline the disintegration of behavioural organisation, occupational and family engagements in 50+ workers faced with increased job insecurity. The first part sketches a developmental portrayal of middle-aged people, precarious job situations and its psychological consequences. The following parts draw on the findings of research on employment of 50-plussers as perceived by employers and social workers. This provides a multidimensional background for examining changes in the behaviours of people aged 50 and over as the threat to theirjobs becomes more severe. To theoreticians, the article offers insights into interrelationships of various human behaviours and into the advancing process and mechanisms of behavioural disintegration in the situation of increasing threat. Labour market practitioners will obtain details concerning middle-aged people’s behaviour in the unstable labour market, thereby extending their assessment beyond the “well-defined” vocational competencies. This may enhance opportunities for accurate identification of individual potentials underpinned by diverse ways of engaging with family and vocational pursuits, and consequently optimise the selection of helping interventions.

Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie rozpadu organizacji zachowań osób 50+ oraz ch zaangażowań zawodowych i rodzinnych w sytuacji rosnącego poczucia niepewności pracy (job insurance). W pierwszej części artykułu nakreślono rozwojowy portret psychologiczny osoby w wieku średnim oraz zjawisko zagrożenia utratą pracy i jego psychologiczne konsekwencje. W kolejnych odwołano się do wyników badań przedstawiających problem zatrudnienia 50-latków z perspektywy pracodawców i pracowników służb społecznych. Całość stanowi wielowymiarowe tło zarysowania przemian, jakim podlegają zachowania 50-latków wraz ze wzrostem poczucia zagrożenia utratą pracy. Teoretykom artykuł pozwoli powiązać różne aspekty ludzkich zachowań i uzyskać wgląd w postępujący proces i mechanizmy rozpadu zachowań w sytuacji rosnącego poczucia zagrożenia. Praktykom, związanym z rynkiem pracy, znajomość szczegółów dotyczących zachowań osób średniego pokolenia na niestabilnym rynku pracy umożliwi wyjście poza ocenę „dobrze zdefiniowanych” kompetencji zawodowych. Pozwoli to na lepsze rozpoznawanie indywidualnych potencjałów, za którymi kryją się odmienne sposoby angażowania się w aktywności rodzinne i zawodowe i wybór skutecznych form pomocy.
