A young person's perception of his past, present, and future life is shaped during his adolescence. The potential/prospective self of an adolescent includes his ideas and plans concerning his future life and, therefore, constitutes an important source of his motives for activity and development. This paper presents results of its author's own research on the ways in which adolescents with visual disability receiving special education in the Silesian Voivodship perceive their own future lives. The theoretical part of the paper contains an analysis of the concept of self-perception and related concepts. Special attention is paid to defining different kinds of self-perception, analyzing their functions, and indicating factors that determine their development during adolescence. An overview of selected pieces of research on the self-image of the blind and visually impaired people allowed a description of the influence of self-perception on social and personal functioning of adolescents with visual disability.

Problem and methods: Physical appearance is one of the key components of selfperception from early childhood. An individual’s perceived physical attractiveness is largely conditioned by geographical, cultural and historical factors. Every culture develops its own criteria of attractiveness and any deviations to those are often a cause of ostracism, for example through exclusion or rejection. Still, there are certain universal principles of attractiveness (e.g. a higher waist-hip ratio, facial symmetry, sexually dimorphic features), which exist across cultures and time periods with little variation. To measure a person’s level of satisfaction with his/her physical appearance, psychologists regularly employ figure rating scales. The primary goal of our work was to develop and verify an updated visual body rating scale called the Basic Olomouc Body Rating (BOBR), making sure that it is widely usable, valid and reliable. The scale was created using the method of document analysis of academic papers according body-rating scales and a method of interview with potential probands. In the pilot data gathering phase, a group of respondents was presented with the 3 scales commonly used in the European context, i.e. FDS (Stunkard, Sorensen & Schulsinger, 1983), CDRS (Thompson & Gray, 1995) and BIAS-BD (Gardner, Jappe & Gardner, 2009). The purpose of this was to get feedback on these scales and find out if people are able to use these scales to rate themselves. New schematic figure rating scale for both men and women which would do away with the limitations of the scales used so far was developed. Results: The result is creation of a body-rating scale widely usable in further research and practical consulting. The paper briefly summarizes results of an additional study – the goal definition phase was followed by online research on the subject of body image and the self-perceived sexual attractiveness. Altogether, 5,616 respondents from the Czech Republic responded to questions such as ‘How do I look?’, ‘How do I want to look?’ and ‘Which figures of the same and opposite sex do I find the most sexually attractive?’ The participants indicated their responses on the BOBR 10-point figure rating scale. The results showed a significant divergence between the responses to the questions ‘I want to look’ and ‘I look’ among men, but also among women (p = 0.00; p = 0.00). Our research findings do not differ from the findings of other authors. Body dissatisfaction is a relatively common phenomenon, especially in women and in relation to weight. While women would like to be thinner, body dissatisfaction in men goes both ways, i.e. men, more frequently than women, would like to have a fuller figure. Compared with women, men are more frequently dissatisfied with their height. Conclusion: The main conclusion of the study is creation of the BOBR figure – rating scale, which was validated and is ready to be used in further researches. Further on, the scale has been verified in terms of validity and reliability; and a significant divergence was found between the responses to the questions ‘I want to look’ and ‘I look’ among both men and women. At this stage, the scale has been validated as an instrument and demonstrated to be useful for a variety of tasks: The fact that the scale has been received well also increases its potential and usability, for example in consulting psychology or as an ice-breaker during therapy sessions for individuals suffering from eating disorders.

Self-perception is a particularly important determinant of human existence in a broad sense. A multifaceted self-image, its positive perception and acceptance have a significant impact on individual psychosocial comfort, optimal development, and functioning and quality of life improvement. This paper specifically stresses the need for people with mild intellectual disabilities to develop social skills in a broad sense that influence quality of life and that are determined by a positively perceived self-image and the social adaptation level. The partial findings of the author’s research study presented in the paper point to numerous spheres of the participants’ personalities and their adaptation behaviors that constitute an important developmental potential of people with mild intellectual disabilities. The self-perception and social adaptation of people with mild intellectual disabilities is treated as a unique aim of objective scientific inquiry in the article. The issues presented from such a point of view can be considered as valid, justified and aiming to optimize the quality of life of people with intellectual disabilities. The paper includes a theoretical discussion and empirical analyses. The theoretical part details the essence of intellectual disability, social adaptation, and self-perception in people with intellectual disabilities. The empirical part provides the methodology of the author’s research study, the findings, and analysis. As a whole, the paper provides a basis for pragmatic conclusions and recommendations.

Pre-service teacher training offers various opportunities for trainees to become aware of and understand the qualities of good teaching. Towards the end of their training they should be able to identify clearly the criteria for measuring their readiness for teaching profession as well as identify their own strong and weak areas. The author of this article presents the results of the study where the aim was to focus on the trainees′ perception of themselves as English language teachers based on the criteria of the EPOSTL at the end of their training when trainees receive their diploma for teaching the English language.

Toni Morrison’s The Bluest Eye represents the obsessed involvement of the characters in the world of appearances. This paper explores how the central character’s self-image is determined by the primary Subject, which orients social perception, and how the characters are primarily concerned with their public image since social perception from without (how they are perceived) shapes their self-perception. As the process of self-realization is interrupted by the disorientation of self-perception, the characters cannot construct a true Self of their own. Their vision is disabled by the prevailing primary Subject, and the persona is unable to perceive the world from her perspective reversing the existing binary. As there is no self-perception (a point of reference), identity formation ends in failure, and the persona turns out to be a passive object having a negative image of herself. She, first, suffers from split of personality and schizophrenia, then declines her negative self-image through surrogate images, and finally drives herself to insanity.

TMMS and MSCEIT are the most frequently used tools to assess emotional intelligence. TMMS is a questionnaire to self-evaluate emotional skills, and MSCEIT is a test to measure emotional intelligence. Given that both are used equally, we examined the relationship between their dimensions. A sample of 252 adults was selected from higher education institutions. MSCEIT and TMMS-24 were administered and ANOVA and Pearson correlation analyses were conducted. The MSCEIT Managing Emotions branch was the only area that discriminates among participants. A new combined tool to assess EI is proposed in this study.

In reference to cultural patterns in collectivistic societies, teaching and learning are greatly influenced by the teachers’ collectivistic or individualistic cultural orientation (Kaur & Noman, 2015). However, in dealing with both audiences and their teaching platforms, a chasm appears between methodologies and their applications since collectivistic societies are reluctant to accept methodologies perceived as mere Western innovations. In other words, a seemingly pedagogical incongruence arises where direct individualistic Western influence is perceived as unsuitable to a collectivistic mindset. One must keep in mind that family members in collectivist societies, who view themselves as part of a group rather than independent individuals, seem to feel more interdependent and mutually responsible for each other. In addition to Vygotski’s assertion that children’s cognitive development is enriched through social interaction with more skilled individuals (1978), Bandura (1982) emphasizes that the degree to which learners believe in their own self-efficacy influences their functioning cognitively, motivationally, emotionally, and their decision making process. Also, self-efficacy is perceived to accelerate the process of adapting to a new environment while learners adopt new cultural practices and consent to norms and expectations. In our exploration, second-language learners (SLLs) from collectivistic societies advance academically-English as a second language included-within the frame of sociocultural theory, since they seem to be motivated by their culturally- induced sense of obligation to honor their parents and other group members. These SLLs are positively influenced by their prior experiences with the group’s perceptions and expectations of their capability to learn an additional language (Bandura & Schunk, 1981; Schunk, 1991). Our research seems to indicate that this outcome is significantly affected by the self-efficacy and self-reliance produced by prior successes in challenging tasks that may have been mandated by the SLL’s elders. In addition, SLLs also seem to succeed in accomplishing more challenging goals as they observe their families’ values and traditions even when they are in a society that enforces individualistic values.

The paper addresses the question of self-perceived identity in children attending international schools in Norway. In this population, the distinction between “home culture” and “host culture” is no longer relevant, since most of the children represent “hyphenated” (e.g. Asian-British or American-Scandinavian) or merged nationalities and cultures. The goal of the study is to investigate how these pupils define themselves and the notion of “home”. To achieve at least a preliminary picture of the children’s self-perception, the authors have analysed poems on two topics: Me and Home, written by pupils of an international school and a Norwegian school, both informant groups aged 11-13. A semantic analysis of the poems indicates that the international school children present strong assertions of individual identity as defined against societal roles, while the Norwegian school pupils do not conceptualize identity formation as a struggle and their poems reflect a high degree of social, familial and national integration.

It is a common belief that unlawful help brings, at least in the short run, only profits to people who use it. Such observations can be supported by research results which suggest that educational cheating is not related with lower evaluation of self-morality. However, there are theories indicating that the help coming from someone similar, i.e. from a peer, independent of whether it is allowed or not, may have a negative impact on its recipient, particularly in the area of self-evaluation connected with a task. According to such an interpretation the unlawful help from a peer should negatively influence the people who use it, because it will lead to changes in self-perception. In order to verify these assumptions a test was carried out, where two groups imagined themselves help and then it was checked how this image influenced their self-picture. In the experimental group the image concerned unlawful help received from a peer, however, in the control group – the help was allowed and came from a teacher. In accordance with expectations, the unlawful help turned out to negatively influence the self-evaluation and, opposite to expectations – it also decreased the evaluation of self-morality of its recipients.

Potocznie wydaje się, że niedozwolona pomoc przynosi, przynajmniej krótkoterminowo, same zyski osobom z niej korzystającym. Takie spostrzeżenia mogą być wspierane przez wyniki badań sugerujące, że dopuszczanie się nieuczciwości edukacyjnej nie jest związane z niższymi ocenami własnej moralności. Istnieją jednak teorie wskazujące, że pomoc pochodząca od kogoś podobnego, czyli na przykład rówieśnika, niezależnie od tego, czy jest dozwolona czy nie, może mieć negatywny wpływ na jej biorcą, szczególnie w obszarze ocen siebie w wymiarze związanym z zadaniem. Zgodnie z takim ujęciem niedozwolona pomoc od rówieśnika powinna negatywnie wpływać na osoby z niej korzystające, gdyż będzie prowadzić do zmian w obrazie własnej osoby. Aby zweryfikować te przewidywania, zostało przeprowadzone badanie, w którym dwie grupy wyobrażały sobie pomoc, a następnie sprawdzano, jak takie wyobrażenie wpłynie na ich obraz siebie. W grupie eksperymentalnej wyobrażenie dotyczyło niedozwolonej pomocy od rówieśnika, natomiast w grupie kontrolnej – dozwolonej pomocy od nauczyciela. Zgodnie z przewidywaniami niedozwolona pomoc okazała się negatywnie wpływać na oceny własnej sprawczości, natomiast niezgodnie z oczekiwaniami obniżała także oceny własnej moralności jej biorców.

The aim of the research is to define individual psychological traits of adolescents that influence the formation of their self-perception. An empirical study was conducted on the basis of general education schools, boarding schools for the hearing impaired students and orphanages of the Kharkiv region (Ukraine). The study included 86 children. In accordance with this aim empirical methods were applied: Self-perception profile for adolescents (SPPA), Freiburg Multifactorial Personality Questionnaire (FPI), An Adolescent’s Character Traits Questionnaire, Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale. It has been found that self-perception of general education school students is determined by depressiveness, shyness, extroversion, and stuck type of accentuation; in adolescents with hearing impairments - friendliness, reactive aggressiveness, extroversion, emotive and anxiety types of accentuation; in orphans - pedantic and dysthymic types of character accentuation.

Cel badań. W obecnych czasach człowiek dąży do osiągnięcia wysportowanej i atrakcyjnej sylwetki. Chcąc osiągnąć wykreowany przez społeczeństwo idealny wygląd, wiele osób decyduje się na podjęcie aktywności. Celem pracy było zbadanie postrzegania własnej atrakcyjności i jej zestawienie z rzeczywistym obrazem ciała, określonym na podstawie pomiarów antropometrycznych. Materiał i metody. Badaniem została objęta grupa 107 mężczyzn i kobiet trenujących we wrocławskich siłowniach i w fitness clubach. Uczestnicy badania dokonali samooceny swojego wyglądu na podstawie formularza Skali Oceny Ciała (Body Esteem Scale, BES), dostosowanego do populacji polskiej, autorską ankietę). Wykonano im także pomiary antropometryczne. Wyniki. Większość respondentów uprawiała aktywność fizyczną rekreacyjnie i w celu poprawy wyglądu lub kondycji. Zarówno mężczyźni, jak i kobiety w trakcie treningów oceniali się lepiej niż przed ich rozpoczęciem. Wszyscy ankietowani zaobserwowali poprawę samopoczucia oraz wyglądu. W odniesieniu do większości badanych komponentów BES mężczyźni oceniali się lepiej niż kobiety. Wnioski. Postrzeganie własnej atrakcyjności nie zawsze jest zgodne z rzeczywistym obrazem ciała u osób ćwiczących. Jednak zależności pomiędzy niektórymi wskaźnikami proporcji ciała a średnimi ocenami skali BES wykazały, że osoby mające masę ciała mieszczącą się w granicach normy oceniają się w niektórych kategoriach istotnie lepiej niż osoby z nadwagą i otyłe.

Background. Nowadays, the pressure to attain fit and physically attractive figure is widely observed. In order to reach this goal, many people decide to undertake physical activities. The aim of the study was to analyse the self-perception of one’s attractiveness and to compare the results with the actual body look, determined by anthropometric indicators. Material and methods. The study involved 107 men and women practising in gyms and fitness clubs in Wrocław. The participants were asked to self-evaluate their bodily attractiveness on the basis of the Body Esteem Scale (BES) adapted to the Polish population and to fill in a questionnaire developed by the authors. Anthropometric measurements were also performed. Results. The majority of the respondents engaged in physical activities for recreational reasons and in order to improve their body shape and physical condition. Both men and women evaluated themselves better during the training than before they took on the training. All participants reported an improvement in their disposition and appearance. Men demonstrated a higher self-esteem than women in most BES components. Conclusions. The perception of one’s attractiveness is not always consistent with the actual body image of trainees. However, correlations between some body indices and average BES scores have proved that people with a body weight within the normal range assess themselves significantly better in certain categories than the overweight and obese.
