Objectives. The goal of this exploratory study was to examine whether locus of control significantly moderates the relationship between poverty and self-esteem. Participants and setting. The research sample consisted of 499 people (249 men) living in Slovakia. The sample selection was based on a representative quota for gender, age group and region. Hypotheses. It was hypothesized that poor people with low internal locus of control may view their economic situation as a result of their incompetence, cognitive skills, personality or other characteristics. This can devaluate their selfesteem more than in people with high internal locus of control. In a situation of high chance or high external locus of control, poor people may see their economic situation as a result of factors which are beyond their control. They may see themselves as unable to change their economic situation which can therefore devaluate their self-esteem more than in people with low external locus of control or chance. Statistical analysis. The hypotheses were examined using moderated multiple linear regressions. Results. In the present data, locus of control was not a significant moderator. The effect sizes in the relationship between poverty and self-esteem were small. Study limitations. The limitations of the present study are the lower reliability of the internality dimension of the Multidimensional Locus of Control Scale as well as the absence of meaningful covariates, e.g. duration or previous experiences of poverty or parental warmth.

Cieľ. Cieľom tejto exploračnej štúdie bolo zistiť, či miesto kontroly moderuje vzťah medzi chudobou a sebahodnotením. Metóda. Vzorku tvorilo 499 ľudí (249 mužov) žijúcich na Slovensku. Výber vzorky bol reprezentatívny vzhľadom k rodu, veku a kraju. Hypotézy. Chudobné osoby s nízkou úrovňou vnútorného miesta kontroly by mali za príčinu svojej ekonomickej situácie považovať nedostatok vlastných zručností, kognitívnych schopností, špecifickú skladbu osobnostných alebo iných vlastností. To by malo následne pôsobiť devalvačne vo väčšej miere na ich sebahodnotenie ako u ľudí s vyššou úrovňou vnútorného miesta kontroly. V situácii s vysokou úrovňou vonkajšieho miesta kontroly alebo náhody by chudobné osoby mali za príčinu svojej ekonomickej situácie považovať faktory, ktoré sú mimo ich kontroly, a preto by to malo pôsobiť devalvačne vo väčšej miere na ich sebahodnotenie ako u ľudí s nižšou úrovňou vnútorného miesta kontroly. Štatistická analýza. K overeniu hypotéz boli počítané moderované viacnásobné lineárne regresné analýzy. Výsledky. Miesto kontroly nevystupovalo v analyzovaných údajoch ako signifikantný moderátor vzťahu medzi chudobou a sebahodnotením. Veľkosti účinkov pre vzťah medzi chudobou a sebahodnotením boli malé. Obmedzenia výskumu. Obmedzením sú nižšie hodnoty reliability škály vnútorného miesta kontroly dotazníka Multidimensional Locus of Control Scale ako aj absencia ďalších zmysluplných kovariátov, napríklad trvania chudoby, predošlých epizód chudoby alebo vrelosti rodičov.

This article seeks to answer the following question: Can the history of Polish society provide the basis for developing the contemporary ethics of self-restraints? The author refers to folk history research from recent years, discussing hunger, cold and the constant fear for biological survival as the fate of the majority of people living in the Polish lands until the mid-twentieth century. She wonders how crude necessity could contribute to the formation of an attitude of conscious choice in modern people who are aware of the burden of their complicated legacy. While the article does not provide clear-cut answers, it points out the paradoxical bond in the fate of people from different epochs and the fear of catastrophe as a repetitive experience. At the same time, she shows that nowadays at least we have a choice as to what ethical approach to adopt with respect to the latter.

This article discusses the contexts that contributed to the success of one of the theatre and television hits during Poland’s transformation – Jędrzej Kitowicz’s play Opis obyczajów, czyli… jak zwyczajnie wszędzie się mięsza złe do dobrego [Description of Customs, or How Evil Simply Everywhere Interferes with Good] directed by Mikołaj Grabowski, which premiered in 1990. While offering some insight into the eighteenth-century vicar’s prose reminiscing about the good old days under the rule of the Saxon kings and high-quality performances from the actors, the performance also reflected the contemporary reality in which viewers could see themselves. The lack of period costumes or props and the focus on parts of the play dealing with bigotry and feasting showed that the reality from (at that time) 250 years before was not that much different from the contemporary one. Old Polish culture was presented as a blissful time of people enjoying their lives and automatically identifying themselves with nobility and court life. The 1990 interpretation highlighted the gastronomic and consumerist aspects of the play, outlining why this sphere of life became to serve as the most accurate metaphor for the condition of the Polish state and society (visible in other sources from the transformation period such as numerous cultural texts). It seeks to expose that paradoxical time of scarcity despite the theoretical availability of food products in the face of the dynamically changing social structure and the need of the middle class to distinguish itself which can also be observed even today.

The consequences of the water resources‟ scarcity are a serious problem in the International Relations. The Atlantic and Amazon Forest‟s deforesta-tion threatens the continental water systems. The near end of the tropical glaciers in the Bolivian, Peruvian, Colombian and equatorial Andes, that have caused floods in the recent past, now induces unexpected droughts that can create serious difficulties to the Brazilian agribusiness. Absurd or not, the hypotheses of conflict about water re-sources have an alarming urgency. Egoisms that move against the equal division of water resources dangerously grow in scarcity scenarios.

Las consecuencias de la escasez de los recursos hídricos son trági-cas. La deforestación de la Selva Atlántica y Amazónica compromete el régimen hídrico continental. El deshielo de los glaciares tropicales en los Andes bolivianos, peruanos, colombianos y ecuatorianos, causantes de enormes inundaciones en el pa-sado reciente, hoy provocan inusitadas sequías, que pueden comprometer el agrobusi-ness brasileño. Absurdas o no, las hipótesis de conflicto por los recursos hídricos po-seen una alarmante actualidad. Los intereses egoístas que van en contra del reparto equitativo en los recursos naturales crecen peligrosamente en escenarios de escasez.
