Our treatise attempts to describe lexical resources currently used by young people to express negative emotions and attitudes. The study is based on a questionnaire survey (600 respondents). While creating the questionnaire and assessing its results we focused on the characteristics of situations that may cause negative attitudes and emotions. We obtained samples of lexis and analyzed them from lexical and functional-stylistic points of view.

A growing interest in the problems of human spirituality has been noted in psychology in the past few decades. This refers particularly to health psychology, where quite substantial evidence has been collected indicating a positive influence of spirituality as an individual attribute on physical health. The paper presents an attempt to conceptualize spirituality from the psychological viewpoint, as well as to develop a new questionnaire for the measurement of spirituality as human dimension. Moreover, a series of studies using the questionnaire are reported, with almost 600 participants (in that number over 400 patients with various clinical health problems). The research was focused on seeking psychological factors that might mediate the effect of spirituality on physical health. Higher levels of spirituality were fund to be associated with better adjustment to illness, higher readiness to health-promoting behaviors, and more effective coping with stress. heir valuable comments on the first version of the manuscript. (A controversy concerning spirituality as a psychological term should be noted here. Some authors, e.g. Popielski (1999) and Stras-Romanowska (1992), suggest that the debate on spirituality should be left to cultural anthropologists).

The article highlights the problem of the influence of endorsed implicit theories on the emotional quality of life and on the effectiveness of cardiac rehabilitation of patients with ischemic heart disease being immediately after myocardial infraction and those being after a long cardiac rehabilitation. Numerous studies indicate that entity theorists (people who believe in fixed traits) are more emotionally vulnerable, anxious, less psychologically resistant and exhibit stronger tendency to encounter negative emotions than incremental theorists (people who believe in malleable traits) do. It was predicted that entity theorists would display stronger negative feelings after experiencing myocardial infraction and they would be more reluctant to rehabilitation treatment.Two groups of heart disease patients participated in the study. The first group consisted of patients immediately after cardiac infract, being at the beginning of the cardiac rehabilitation (N = 26; 15 incremental theorists, 10 entity theorists) and the second group - patients about 20 months after cardiac infract, having attended in approximately 6-month cardiac rehabilitation.The results indicate that implicit theories play an important role in the quality of life assessment of cardiac patients only after rehabilitation treatment. The level of anxiety, depression and tension decreased, mood improved, self-image and self-esteem enhanced and the level of achievement motivation increased but only among incremental theorists who have attended a long-term rehabilitation in comparison to entity theorists whose psychological indicators of quality of life did not alter in the group before and after the cardiac rehabilitation.
