The aim of this article is to mention the importance of psychology in economic research. It is done by presenting the laureates of the Nobel Prize in economics, who most incorporated psychology to economics. We divide their scientific contribution into three areas: decision theory, markets with asymmetric information and game theory.

The article outlines the terror management theory (TMT) proposed by J. Greenberg, S. Solomon and T. Pyszczyński, pointing to its potential application in historical research. The existential fear of mortality, interpreted as one of the major factors influencing human behaviour, results from being conscious of the inevitability of death. In consequence, people apply a variety of conscious and subconscious mechanisms working as anxiety buffers. The theory explains the human need to construct social worldviews and beliefs, as well as the need to maintain one’s high self-esteem. TMT also extends our understanding of preference for one’s own reference group, and of mechanisms of social exclusion, intolerance and religious and political fundamentalism.

Human genome consists of almost 30 thousand genes encoding information necessary for the development of human brain built of 1011 neurons interconnected into a network by means of 1015 synapses. Functional neurogenomics investigates how genome as a whole influences evolution and development of structures and functions of nervous system. Operation of human brain is on the one hand determined by genetically conditioned biological features and environmental factors on the other. Both groups of factors, affecting at a given time, dynamically shape brain functioning. Despite the reductionist character of research in molecular mechanisms that take place in the development and adaptation of the brain, including such data into multidimensional analysis of system biology, allows to obtain a more holistic picture of the researched phenomenon.

This study focuses on correlation of perceived safety and preference of types of values. For this purpose we used ESS data from Round 4, specifically Slovak sample consisting of 1810 respondents. The results showed only low levels of correlations in variables of interest, but still significant. We found out that the polarity of the dimensions shown in the Schwartz values model affects the perception of safety.

The article concerns a concept of law in Leon Petrażycki's theory and Scandinavian legal realism (Uppsala school) represented by Karl Olivecrona. The author, explaining the concept of law, seeks connections between Petrażycki's theory and the ideas forwarded by the Scandinavians. According to Petrażycki, law is a psychological fact — a legal emotion in human mind, mentality. On the other hand, according to Olivecrona, law is a fact - a human behaviour which is determined by reality in the mind. The conclusion for lawyers is that law should be treated not only as a normative fact (legal texts) or axiological fact (values, principles), but also as a psychological fact (Petrażycki-legal emotions), and a behavioural fact (Olivecrona — human behaviour and reality in human mind). Polish theory of law and practice lack considerations of this type.

By relating the intellectual context of Vernant's debuts and the intellectual filiation between Vernant and Ignace Meyerson, Marcel Mauss or Louis Gernet, the author explains what Vernant's work, usually qualified as anthropological history, owes to psychological history. His predecessors claimed that social conditions are historical phenomena and that they are produced by psychological conditions. Vernant's project is to study how these social institutions and these ways of thinking, our societies are still referring to, constituted themselves. How did change psychological functions and categories of thinking which created the works used by historians as material and sources (literary or religious texts or works of art). This ability of 'estrangement' and this focus on changes and differences kept Vernant far from any general anthropological theory as built by Levi Strauss.

In the twentieth century the phenomenon of the subjective body was integrated into ontology in philosophy, moving from Phenomenology to Existentialism. The rediscovery of the body and affect as a way of thinking also led contemporary cognitive science to the topic of the relationship between emotion and cognition, to the necessity of expanding the model of the mind and of experiencing emotions and physical sensation. The extension of the explanatory possibilities of a scholarly metalanguage into the area of the emotions and physical sensation is also important for the analysis of the acoustic aspect of lyric verse. In the acoustic flow of verse, the sounds of language have, apart from a phonemic function, their own sensuous (emotional) effect of the articulating body. In literary studies so far the acoustic flow has been interpreted only at the segmental level as a sequence of phonemes or sounds (for example in constructs of acoustic succession, phonetic instrumentation, or phonetic composition). At the suprasegmental level the acoustic flow must be conceived of as a sequence of syllables, a sequence of articulated phonations, the semantic movement of the phonemic flow. A syllable has no semantic value, but does have an experiential form, which influences motivation, behaviour, and experience. In addition to sonic and tonal modulation at the suprasegmental level, qualitative modulation, modulation of timbre, and the sequences of tones and of noise are also employed. In modelling the semantic movement of syllables in a phonemic flow the methodological approaches of experimental psychosemantics have been used. Connotational objectivization took place in three dimensions that were polarized on the basis of domestic and alien, light and darkness, activity and passivity, and research was conducted with a sample of 2,800 respondents. The analysis of the acoustic side of lyric verse would be incomplete if in addition to accentual rhythm and melody we did not also consider qualitative modulation, the semantic movement of the phonic flow. At the segmental level of verse, phonemes are semantically completed by the lexical meanings of words. This semantic process is parallel to the semantic process of the phonemic flow, but apart from the metrical correspondence between them there is no causal connection, only similar semantic content. In addition to the semantic movement of the phonational flow and the semantic saturation of phonemes, the dynamic of the acoustic process of verse completes the phonic line of the verse, which in itself links occurrences of sonic and tonal modulation.

This paper focuses on the crafting of the mortal type of the human soul in the Timaeus. The demiurge entrusts to his divine assistants the forging of this mortal type – consisting of two “parts”: the irascible-aggressive (thumós) and the desiderative-appetitive (epithumía) – in order to enable the connection of the immortal soul, coming from the first mixture, with the mortal body. The immortal, i.e. divine soul, was sowed and produced by the demiurge himself to animate the world as a whole, and so were the stars. Additionally, auxiliary demiurges make the plants, which also possess a soul (the type which is present in living beings); they serve as food for men, without transgressing the process of transmigration of souls established by the gods.

Since the late 20th century, psychology of music has been pursued as a cognitive, empirical, data-driven discipline, building upon knowledge from musicology and psychology, as well as from the cognitive sciences and neurosciences. Currently, it covers various areas of research, including but not limited to music sensation, perception, cognition, and empirical investigations of the links between music and emotion; developmental music psychology, the issues of musical talent, the acquisition of musical skills, and the phenomenon of absolute pitch; music performance, composition and improvisation; neural correlates of listening to music and music-making; social aspects of music including its role in everyday life, in social, ethnic and broader cultural groups, as well as in educational and therapeutic settings. Empirical research in this specialised and interdisciplinary field has been underrepresented within the domestic academic community. The task of building up a systematic research base will require a collective effort of experts from related disciplines.

Contrary to reconciliation forgiveness in modern sense appears in philosophy in the context of „German guilt“ relatively lately, namely as late as at the end of the second half of the 20th century. It is perhaps due to this relative novelty that the two are arbitrarily mistaken one with another or understood as mutually dependent. In addition to a briefly outlined historical context we focus on unveiling the essential differences between reconciliation and forgiveness. Metaphorically speaking, the forgiveness requires face-to-face relationship with the other, while reconciliation settles for walking side by side. While forgiveness represents a radical event, the reconciliation cannot deny its cunning dialectical origin. Thus the praise of forgiveness is the praise of that special, paradoxical and probably even still not conferred gift so desperately expected by modern humans.

Eight factors in the diversity of participation in role-playing games are named in the paper: age, gender, gaming experience, playing frequency, selected systems, division of roles in the game, extra-session engagement, interest in other kinds of leisure. The article demonstrates how these issues were included or omitted in reports on empirical psychological research that was conducted in Poland in the years 2001-2008. The results of the review imply that most of these factors did not receive adequate consideration in works from that period, which shows certain weaknesses in this area of Polish RPG research.

The critique by Witkowski and Fortuna of pseudoscience which sometimes serves as a theoretical basis of psychotherapy is valid, but the authors should take into account that the border between pseudoscience and academic psychology is vague and difficult to define.

Human brain and its functions evolved under selection pressures. There are at least a few evolutionary approaches to human mind, behaviour and/or preferences. Apart of sociobiology, human behavioural ecology (HBE), it is evolutionary psychology (EP) that have been developed in the last 25 years. EP differs with other approaches to human mind in methodology and in the attitude to human behaviour adaptability. EP methodology, the Environment of Evolutionary Adaptedness and mind modularity concepts, as well as examples of psychological mechanisms related to adaptations acquired in our evolutionary past that do not need to increase biological fitness in modern societies are discussed. These adaptations are: 1.) mechanism of child attachment; 2.) Westermarck effect that explains the emergence sexual aversion to close relatives in childhood and 3.) relationship between man's socio-economic status and his reproductive success in the societies with socially enforced monogamy and effective contraconception. In a few last thousands years man's environment changed dramatically, but due to lack of parallel strong selection pressure, human brain and mind almost did not change. This is why humans have still some psychological mechanisms that might not be perfect adaptations nowadays. EP does not excuse any human behaviour (as EP opponents claim), it only explains the evolutionary roots of psychological mechanisms and preferences. EP provides scientists with the new insight to human mind.

The safety perception is defined as a control of potential threats in the form of crime, economic, social, or health risks. The present study deals with the development of perception of safety and preventive behaviour questionnaire, which was carried out on a representative sample of 1,843 respondents. Extracted factors fear of crime and preventive behaviour explained 67% of variance. The significant correlations of perception of safety subscales and conservatism and risk tendency were also confirmed.

The paper sheds light on different approaches to normativity and on current tendencies to consider social and moral norms from the perspective of evolutionary psychology. The main objective of the paper is to show the similarities as well as differences between social and moral norms. Further, the author argues, that the different characteristics, such as the influence of an external authority, the role of emotions and the role of conscious and subconscious judgments are not qualitative, but rather quantitative. Although the moral norms are more universal and breaking them involves more emotions, the role of the social context is as important as with social norms.

The paper deals with the historical and systematic aspects of psychologism. The historical aspect is examined on the background of the rise of psychology as an independent science. The systematic-analytical aspect, on the other hand, is seen as connected with normativity and the empirical contingency of facts. These issues are analyzed with regard to the so called Psychologismusstreit in German post-Kantian philosophy. The comeback of psychology is rendered as related to the project of naturalized epistemology. The paper also points out the challenges, which philosophy faces due to the claims of cognitivism.

The paper demonstrates one possible way of seeking an answer to the question: “What is the connection between a player’s general personality characteristics and the way he or she participates in role-playing game sessions?” An empirical study with 44 participants is presented, including its theoretical background, conduct, and results. Three phenomena play a pivotal role here: identity, narrative style of play and autonarrative inclination. The paper explains them, characterises the employed research methods and delineates the reasons for academic interest in these aspects of psyche. Afterwards, the results of the study are shown. They serve as an argument in support of the thesis that the three studied phenomena are related to one another.

Being a pedagogue with over twenty years’ experience in training teachers, the author has lately been attracted by ideas bridging the growing gap between neurological and psychological research findings and their practical application in schools. For instance, Tokuhama Espinosa (2010) points out that current findings in brain research have limited connection with actual educational practice. The outcomes of research on learning processes are insufficiently projected in teacher training programmes. Curriculum documents and teaching materials copy the discourse specific to educational policy in the country of origin and development. The consequence of the insufficient links between basic and applied research in the field is a growing gap between those who generate research outcomes and those who are supposed to integrate the outcomes in applied education and subsequently bring them to life in educational practice. The reason for this gap is straightforward: it is immensely important, though extremely demanding, to “translate” the outcomes of complex neurological and psychological research so that they are applicable in real classroom settings. Researchers’ attitudes are frequently that their work ends once the research findings have been presented. Here, the question arises as to who should rise to the challenge of becoming the mediator or transmitter in the process of incorporating research findings in pedagogical practice. At present, the response to this situation is manifested in the pursuit of interdisciplinary links between psychological and pedagogical (in fact, psychodidactic) discourse.

A wise move would be to abandon the old but also the newer social-behavioural categorization of psychology; psychology is the core of modern, yet little coordinated sciences of man. The wise wish to dispose of the conjunction 'and' between experience and behaviour (behaviour and experience) in psychological research; a wise possibility would be a thorough application of the psycho-regulatory concept of behaviour that uses method integration in the study of human activity. The wisest would be to perceive personality with its self as the highest priority, to see it as a target or context of all psychological activity. The author elaborates the category of the system psycho-regulators of behaviour as a form of integrating some factorial traits with virtues proven by the development of humanism; apart from wisdom these include conscience, tolerance, pro-social attitude, moderation, humility, etc.
