The text contains fragments of research results conducted within the framework of the project about dimensions of teachers’ religiousness (in Bialystok). Methodological conception of research was based on the diagnostic procedure and the triangulation strategy of methods and sources. In the quantitative orientation two research tools were used: The Santa Clara Strength of Religious Faith Questionnaire (T.G. Plante, M. Boccaccini) and Dimensions of the Religiousness Questionnaire (E. Krysztofik-Gogol). The biographical method with the semi-structured interview was used in the quality research orientation. Religiousness appears to a different degree and in a different way in teachers’ life. In the individual aspect of teachers’ life, religiousness constitutes a strong source of support in making important decisions and religious coping strategy. In the family life of examined teachers religiousness is connected with religious traditions and constitutes the element of educational influences. A social dimension of religiousness in teachers’ life is connected with tolerance shown to people of different faith.

This article discusses the findings of the survey investigating the influence of faith and religious beliefs on students’ family plans, as well as the students’ understanding of the ethical and moral aspects of marital life and cohabitation. The survey involved the full-time students in the last two years of different master’s degree majors offered at the Faculty of Economics and Sociology. The answers that the respondents gave to the survey questions allowed determining their views on different aspects of family life in relation to their religious beliefs. The questions were divided into two parts. One of them investigated the respondents’ opinions about their prospective family life, such as entering into a marriage and having children. The second part asked about the ethical and moral aspects of family life and co- habitation, for instance partners living together before marriage, divorce, the use of contraceptives and the abortion pill, surgical abortion.

This article discuses the role of subjective religiousness among contemporary people. The theoretical and empirical approaches showing that while modernization does have secularizing effects, it also provokes a reaction that more often strengthens religion (especially subjective, intensive, autonomic religiousness). In this paper projection method were used to examine the functioning of subjective religiousness among artistically gifted young people. Ss (N=296 aged 15–20 yrs) had to finish sentences: 1. “I’m sadly …”, 2. “I treasure, I like …”, 3. “Rational analysis…”, 4. “God in my life...” . The results of qualitative analysis suggest that subjective religiousness have common and specific dimensions (conditioning, consequence meaning and typology). The findings revealed that the majority of the youth define themselves from one hand as nontraditional and not orthodox, from second hand as ultra religious and mystical. His religiousness is deep, latent and emotionally very intensive. Implications are considered for future research on religiousness.

This article gives an overview of dimensional approach to religiousness; from the socioreligious core dimensions of religiousness of Stark & Glock (1968) to interdisciplinary model of religiosity od Huber with core dimensions, the centrality and content of religiosity (2003; 2008). The overview demonstrates the development of the succesive concepts of dimensional approach to religion as well as the constructed assesment techniques and their empirical applications. Then are the five core dimensions of religiousness (intelectual, ideological, experiencial, ritual, concequencial) synthetically organized by psychological contents. Especially the interdisciplinary model of religiosity of Huber is suitable for monitoring and interpreting religiousness of individuals, groups, of pantheistic or theistic patterns of religious expressions.

Most of the current research has found that highly religious people have better well-being compared to people with low religiousness. However, the former group is not immune from occasionally feeling anger toward God, which has an adverse effect on well-being. The purpose of this research is to study whether anger toward God moderates the effect of religiousness on the well-being of Christian college students. The data were derived from 228 respondents (55 male) from a religious university using the Four Basic Dimensions of Religiousness (4-BDRS), the Attitude toward God Scale (ATGS-9), and the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS). The results of the moderation analysis using Process version 3 demonstrated that Anger toward God significantly moderated the effect of religiousness toward well-being (b = .01, 95% Cl [.001, .023], t = 2.14, p < .05). The higher the level of anger toward God, the lesser the effect of religiousness on well-being. Therefore, it is essential for students to resolve their divine struggles. The implications and applications of this study are discussed.

The inspiration to pursue a research topic or to contribute to the research of other scientists often comes from a single remark, thought or sentence. ‘Continuations’ in the heading suggests that this, too, is the case of this paper. It presents early results of a research project undertaken in 2017 to examine the religiousness of high school and academic youth inhabiting different social environments and coming from different regions of Poland (the Silesian, St Cross and Lesser Poland voivodeships). Research of this kind is undertaken relatively often, and usually focuses on similar topics; was it thus necessary to add yet another new project? The inspiration behind it comes from the findings of Fr. Janusz Mariański, an expert on the religiousness of Poles, which he described in numerous publications and in particular in the latest one: Religious activity of Poles in regression, a paper which forms part of the Anniversary Publication of Prof. Andrzej Wójtowicz. In the paper, J. Mariański summarises the results of multiannual sociological research of the topic. His central thesis points to a slow but consistent diminishing – regression – of Poles’ religious activity in the past decade. Whilst it is still possible to talk about a specific uniqueness of Polish religiosity, it does not mean that it will remain so unique in the future.

The  article  is  an  attempt  to  describe  the  attitude  toward  the  sacrament  of  penance. A questionnaire-based survey carried out on the group of 65 people provided some basic information, including their practical approach to the confession. It has been proved that a highdegree of declared religiousness often does not go hand in hand with practicing of this sacrament because as much as 1/4 of the respondents goes to confession rarely or sporadically. Almost 20% of the group spends little or no time on the examination of conscience and a prayer before the confession. Moreover, the motivation, difficulties and the opinion on how confession influences life, were also diagnosed. It turned out that in many cases there is a noticeable connection between the answers and sex, place of living (urban or rural area), age and level of education. The analysis showed that there is a considerable degree of individualism and selectiveness in attitude toward the sacrament of penance and reconciliation so it is necessary to realize again the need and under- standing of it, especially among men and young people.

The present article treats “the phenomenon of Amália Rodrigues” in the perspective of religiousness of the Fado genre. The analysis of the fadista’s religious attitude is based on Amália’s image created by Vítor Pavão dos Santos in his book entitled Amália – Uma Biografia and presents some fundamental aspects of her devotion. The issues include: religion/catholicism, God, the Church, morality, religious practices, God’s Mother or freedom versus fatalism. The analysis attempts to discover concrete manifestations of the above listed issues and differentiate between what is typically Portuguese and what is specifically Amalian.

The meaning and perception of soul in the culture of the Podhale regionThe paper discusses issues related to funerary rites in the culture of the Podhale region and the concept of soul, as laid out in the highlander dialect by Rev. Józef Tischner, a concept which is closely connected with Podhale culturemes, e.g. music, as well as with mythological themes. The highlanders’ belief about their own uniqueness is reflected in their perception of soul travel, in which soul is endowed with typically highlander properties and heads towards God through the mountains and valleys of Podhale. Znaczenie i sposób postrzegania duszy w kulturze podhalańskiejW referacie podjęte zostały zagadnienia związane z rytuałem pogrzebowym w kulturze podhalańskiej oraz koncepcją duszy wyłożoną gwarą góralską przez księdza Józefa Tischnera, która ściśle łączy się z podhalańskimi kulturemami, takimi jak muzyka, i motywami mitologicznymi. Przekonanie górali o ich wyjątkowości znajduje odzwierciedlenie w pojmowaniu przez nich wędrówki duszy, która – odznaczając się typowo góralskimi przymiotami – zmierza do Boga ścieżkami wiodącymi przez góry i podhalańskie doliny.

The break-up of the Soviet Union in 1991 sharply cast the relationships between the Republics of post-Soviet space and Russia back, mutual trust was  lost, economic and cultural interaction was practically stopped. The global changes of the 1990s in the field of political order, social and economic lifestyle in the countries of the former socialist camp brought up to severe demographic situation (depopulation), impoverishment of its significant part, criminalization of society and, what is quite important, to negative changes in consciousness and behavior of its population, including deformation of ethical code of personality, for long time fixing the acute social-cultural situation. A. Zhuravlev & A. Yurevich call that the moral collapse.                 It is worth mentioning that the economic crisis of the 90s in Georgia was considerably more serious than in Russia. Attempt to teach norms of “new” morale were done by M. Saakashvili (2009–2013), who declared that during 20 years he would be able to change the mentality of Georgians – rejection of the Russian culture and language up to prohibition and adherence to anti-Russian policy at a level of the State. The author reports on that project and she intends to find the difference of how moral competence is understood by the generation which was formed in 1990s and the generation formed under the Soviet Union.

A steady increase in the use of intoxicants is being confirmed by empirical studies. One of the factors conducive to drug initiation is the rejection of moral norms associated with religious beliefs. The article presents the relations established between the youth’s declared religiousness and their statements on psychoactive drugs and using them. The data were collected through questionnaire surveys carried out on a randomly selected sample of high school students from the Podkarpackie region (n = 2273). The research results suggest that the process of secularisation and relativisation observed among the youth, particularly in the sphere of morality, may weaken critical attitudes towards psychoactive substances, both those legally allowed and those prohibited by law. Moreover, the links between the declared religiousness and such variables as: time spent on the Internet, acquaintances who are drug users, being raised by a single parent or both parents as well as the frequency of conversations between respondents and their parents were established. The connections between these variables are statistically significant, so it can be concluded that these distinguished variables influence the diversity in religiousness stated by participants and consequently the liberalisation of the youth’s attitudes towards drugs.

The treatment of alcoholism poses exceptionally numerous problems; what is more, it is but seldom that the traditional treatment of alcohol dependent persons (alocoholics) proves successful. The activity of Alcoholics Anonymous provides sufficient proof that the use of religious faith in the treatment of alcoholics may yield desirable results. Faith is to help alcoholics towards spiritual revival and formition of a new personality enabling them to abstain. The research project aimed at verifying a general hypothesis that religiousness may be one of catalysts of abstention during disaccustoming treatment. We sought to answer the question about the impact of religious faith on the examined alcoholics’ attitude to drinking. Thus religiousness was treated in our statistical analyses as one of the factors that condition the alcohol-related behaviour of persons in the course of disaccustoming treatment. Empirical research was conducted in the years 1984-1985 in Lower Silesia and involved four populations. The study bases on a representative sample of 322 persons treated in outpatient disaccustoming clinics (Ao) and 135 patients of hospital disaccustoming wards (Aн). Aiming to “reproduce” the social environment of alcoholics, we selected control groups (Ko) and (Kн) to match the former two populations. Each member of the control soup matched a member of the population of alcoholics in respect of the following socio-demographic traits: sex, age, marital status, place of residence, level of education, occupation and source of maintenance. Thus the above socio-demographic traits were distributed identically in the populations of alcoholics and their corresponding control groups (A=K). Not at all trivial is the role in this process of environmental factors. Alcohol consumption is not distributed evenly throughout society, the bulk of alcoholic beverages being consumed by a small proportion of Polish people. The high degree of concentration of vodka consumption indicates the existence of sociaf environments which are much more alcoholism-prone than the rest of society. For this reason, in the research project we focused on reconstruction of the characteristics of the social environments that "supply" outpatient clinics and hospitals with alcoholics. The drinking habits in the two examined populations (Aօ and Aн) differ. The differences concern both the frequency of drinking and the amount of alcohol consumed on one occasion. Some of those differences should be stressed here: porsons treated in outpatient clinics tend to drink strong alcoholic beverages more often but exercise some restraint as regards the amount consumed on one occasion. The hospital patients, instead, tend rather to get drunk whenever drinking but drink less often. Due to this difference, the risk of becoming an alcoholic is bigger in the environment that “supplies” patients to hospitals as compared to that of persons treated in outpatient clinics. Members of the population of hospital patients were somewhat younger. Frequent excessive drinking results in a high degree intoxication that speeds up the development of alcoholism in young patients. What has also to be stressed is the fact that the alcoholics’ social backgrounds differ in many other respects as well. Among hospital patients, as opposed to persons treated in outpatient clinics, there is a bigger proportion of men; they are younger (as has been mentioned above) but also polarized to a greater extent as regards age; more of them live in villages and small towns; they have no family of their own (either they have not yet established one or the family they established has already disintegrated); they have no children; they earn a lot but have no flat of their own; they are ernployed as qualified manual workers; some find it difficult to stay on a regular job. Coincidence of the above environmental conditions increases the risk of alcohol dependence. Comparison of the hospital patients’ environment with that of persons treated in outpatient clinics offers many indications that the situation of the latter can be seen as generally more advantageous. They are somewhat older (a larger proportion of them representing the middle age categories); they have families (a lower proportion being divorced), and frequently also children; and most are permanently employed. It was revealed by the project that among hospital patients, there was a larger proportion of persons from extreme sections of distribution of socio-demographic traits while most persons treated in outpatient clinics show normal distributions of those variables. It can thus be concluded that there is among the latter a much bigger proportion of persons in a generally stable life situation. Important here is their undisturbed matrimonial life and permanent employment, as the family and workmates make it possible to control the negative effects of drinking. Just as important is the fact that the compared social environments of alcoholics (Ao and Aн) are unlike each other regarding their degree of involvement in religious practices. Persons treated in outpatient clinics show consistent attitudes towards faith; this is evidenced by a distinct polarization into those who regularly participate in religious practices and persons who never go to the church at all. Among hospital patients, instead, there is a much bigger proportion of persons who are irresolute as to their own faith and take part in religious life but occasionally. Alcoholism may lead to a lowered degree of religiousness and, as a result, to a considerable decrease in, and sometimes total desistance from participation in many religious practices. The project sought to answer questions such as e.g.: What is the degree of religiousness of examined alcoholics? Is their religiousness different from that of non-alcoholic population? If so, to what extent? General religious declarations of persons treated in outpatient clinics are similar as regards their attitudes towards faith. Instead, such persons more often declare lack of religion or religious indifference which may indicate a growing polarization of attitudes (religiousness or lack of religion). Alcoholism contributes to neglect in religious duties. Persons treated in outpatient clinics attend the Sunday service less regularly than other men from a similar social enviroment. Also, fewer alcoholics go to church on Easter: a smaller proportion (as compared to that found in a similar environment) observe the Easter duty and receive the Holy Communion. The high degree of religious declarations typical of the soclal background of hospital patients is somewhat lower in the case of alcoholics themselves. The drop is distinct, instead, as regards participation in religious practices of hospital-treated alcoholics. They attend the Sunday service but occasionally, and more often fail to go to church on Easter. On the other hand, their motivation seems stronger regarding the Easter duty. The period of hospital treatment and advanced alcoholism disturb the rhythm of periodical religious practices. We analyzed the correlation between religiousness (participation in the basic religious practices) and drinking habits. Religiousness was found to stimulate a limitation of both the frequency of drinking and the amount consumed on one occasion in men from the group of persons treated in outpatient clinics (Kօ, Ao). Regular participation in religious life through performance of the obligatory practices coincides with sobriety in everyday life. Instead, religious irresolution consisting in neglect of the Sunday and Easter practices is accompanied by a radical deterioration in the sphere of drinking habits. What seems particularly important from the viewpoint of the problems under analysis is the fact that participation in religious practices (on Sundays and Easter alike) reduces the frequency of drinking in persons treated in outpatient clinics. A drop in the amount of vodka consumed by those persons on one occasion is related mainly to the Easter practice. On the other hand, the study failed to confirm good effects of religiousness on the drinking habits in the environment of hospital patients (Kн, Aн). Hospital patients are no doubt alienated from their social background to a greater extent than persons treated in outpatient clinics. This is evidenced by their late start of the disaccustoming treatment. Over 60% of hospital patients live in small and medium-sized towns as well as villages while persons treated in outpatient clinics are chiefly inhabitants of big cities (58%) and medium-sized towns (41%). This indicates weakness of disaccustoming clinics in small localities, due to their small number, understaffing, and the locals’ unawareness of alcoholism being a disease.

Celem opracowania jest dostrzeżenie cech duchowości i religijności młodego pokolenia katolików uczestniczących w spotkaniach młodzieży w Skrzatuszu. Niniejsze badanie jest próbą wyjścia naprzeciw szerszym analizom, które za cel obierają sobie udzielenie odpowiedzi na pytanie postawione przez Janusza Mariańskiego: Czy w społeczeństwie polskim rosnące siły sekularyzacyjne i pogłębiający się sceptycyzm są neutralizowane przez trendy przeciwne, w postaci sił ewangelizacyjnych Kościoła katolickiego. Metodami badań własnych były wywiady kwestionariuszowe i pogłębione wywiady indywidualne, a także obserwacja uczestnicząca.

The aim of this study is to notice the characteristics of spirituality and religiousness of the young generation of Catholics who participate in the diocesan meetings of the youth in Skrzatusz. This sociological research is an attempt to meet the broader analysis that aim at achieving the answer to the question posed by Janusz Mariański whether the growing secularizing forces and deepening scepticism in the Polish society are neutralized by opposing trends as the forces of new evangelization of the Catholic Church. There were own research methods such as interviews questionnaire, in-depth individual interviews and participant observation.

Religion plays an important role in the life of individuals, societies and entire national communities. It has a particular impact where religious affiliation is an important part of national identity. The aim of this article is to explore the influence of religiosity on the identity attitudes of Poles abroad under conditions of migration. The analysis focuses on assessing the impact of the self-declaration of faith of the Polish post-accession migrants in Great Britain on their national identity. Sociological research was conducted with a questionnaire on a sample of 620 Poles living in the UK. The analysis of quantitative research has shown that despite the decreasing rate of respondents’ self-declaration of faith, religion is still strongly related to their national identification. The influence of the religious factor on the declared national affiliation to the country of origin is most evident among the firm believers, while those respondents who declare a shared national affiliation – declaring a strong sense of belonging to the country of settlement – were characterised by a lower value of the religiousness index.

Religia odgrywa istotną rolę w życiu jednostek, społeczeństw i całych wspólnot narodowych. Posiada ona szczególną siłę oddziaływania tam, gdzie przynależność religijna jest ważną częścią tożsamości narodowej. Celem niniejszego artykułu jest analiza wpływu religijności na postawy tożsamościowe polskich emigrantów. W analizie skupiono się na ocenie wpływu autodeklaracji wiary polskich migrantów poakcesyjnych w Wielkiej Brytanii na ich tożsamość narodową. Badania socjologiczne przeprowadzono za pomocą kwestionariusza ankiety na próbie 620 Polaków tam mieszkających (badania własne przeprowadzone jesienią 2019 r.). Analiza badań ilościowych wykazała, że mimo malejącego wskaźnika autodeklaracji wiary respondentów religia w dalszym ciągu jest silnie powiązana z identyfikacją narodową. Wpływ czynnika religijnego na deklarowaną przynależność narodową kraju pochodzenia najwyraźniej widać pośród głęboko wierzących, tych zaś, którzy deklarowali przynależność narodową także do kraju osiedlenia, charakteryzowała niższa wartość wskaźnika religijności.

Selected religious elements used by Rej to describe phases of human’s life are presented. Religiousness becomes visible in Rej’s work because: - he has a deep conviction that belief in God is very important in human’s life and that people should submit to God which in the linguistic sphere infl uences both lexical and syntax determinants used for persuasion (use of names of religious values, 2nd person singular and 1st person plural forms of verbs provoking for reflection or appealing for improvement of life); - he uses the Bible as an authority – biblical statements are referred to as a proof of veracity of content of his work; - he refers to specific biblical characters, situations and expressions, uses religious vocabulary and forms religious comparisons. Those planes (which is understandable) spread also to Rej’s descriptions of childhood, youth, adulthood and old age.

Religion is an integral part of the human culture. Depending on philosophical, outlook, theological concepts, there are many of its definitions. The interest of psychology is concentrated on subjective understanding of religion and religiousness. The article analyzes the issues mentioned above from humanistic and existential’s achievements perspective. Distinguishing of religiousness described as an attitude and as a relationship reveals different aspects of its functioning in human personality. A religion`s influence on personality depends on a kind of religiousness and a place, which are given to the human structure. Religiousness provides human`s life with meaning, values, sense of security, identifies with society and plays therapeutic functions. Pointing these functions out shows a positive role that is played by religiousness in every man’s life.
