The study presents partial results of a research project which monitors the reception of poetry by primary and secondary school students. We introduce a research of the reception of poems by selected students of a vocational school. We would like to find out whether a research method, which is based on a semantic differential and designed primarily to measure reading experiences of grammar school students, is able to capture the reader‘s experiences of the concerned respondents, too. We compare the results with the results of grammar school students obtained in a previous research. The results show that the semantic differential method can also be used to measure reading experiences of students of vocational schools. Factor analysis showed sufficient saturation of particular scales by relevant factors. It was also revealed that vocational school students are able to read poetry independently and record their reading experiences when sufficiently motivated. It very much depends on their motivation, a selection of appropriate texts, and choice of appropriate teaching methods

The research objective was to confirm the validity of the facial attractiveness stereotyping theory in the Slovak adolescent population. The survey sample consisted of 269 university students. Their average age was 19.75 years (SD = .82). The role of these participants was to assess the attractiveness and selected personality traits of presented photographs of female and male faces through a semantic differential method. The differences in average values of individual perceived personality traits in terms of attractiveness were proven as significant in both male and female faces in favour of attractive individuals. The consequent analysis also confirmed a moderate positive relation between attractiveness and adaptability, interestingness, intelligence, friendliness, and popularity in the most attractive female face. For the most attractive male face was discovered a moderate significant relation between attractiveness and interestingness, friendliness, successfulness, and popularity. The findings correspond with the results of similar research worldwide, thus confirming the validity of this stereotype theory.

Cieľom výskumnej štúdie bolo overiť platnosť stereotypu tvárovej atraktivity u slovenských adolescentov. Výskumnú vzorku tvorilo 269 vysokoškolských študentov rôznych fakúlt Univerzity Mateja Bela v Banskej Bystrici s priemerným vekom 19,75 (SD = 0,82). Úlohou participantov bolo posúdiť prostredníctvom metódy sémantického diferenciálu atraktivitu a zároveň vybrané osobnostné vlastnosti prezentovaných fotografií ženských a mužských tvárí. Na základe priemerných hodnôt boli vyselektované najviac a najmenej atraktívne ženské a mužské tváre. Rozdiely v priemerných hodnotách vo vnímaných osobnostných vlastnostiach v závislosti od atraktivity pri mužskej aj ženskej tvári sa potvrdili ako signifikantné v prospech atraktívnych jedincov. Následná korelačná analýza tiež potvrdila významné pozitívne stredne silné vzťahy medzi atraktivitou a prispôsobivosťou, zaujímavosťou, inteligenciou, priateľskosťou a obľúbenosťou pri najviac atraktívnej ženskej tvári. Pri mužskej najviac atraktívnej tvári sa ukázali signifikantné stredne silné vzťahy medzi atraktivitou a zaujímavosťou, priateľskosťou, tiež úspešnosťou a obľúbenosťou. Naše zistenia korešpondujú s výsledkami obdobných výskumov po celom svete a potvrdzujú platnosť tohto stereotypu aj v našej populácii.

The purpose of this study was a diagnosis of the attitudes of students of Warsaw universities towards people with disabilities and the variables which impacted on these attitudes. Additionally, we examined the relationship between the need for social approval and explicit attitudes towards people with disabilities. The study focused on two components of attitudes: behavioural (measured by preferable social distance – SDSB) and cognitive (tested with a semantic differential scale – SDSO). 318 students completed a survey including a demographic sheet, a social desirability scale, the SDSB and SDSO. The results indicate that students expressed positive attitudes towards people with disabilities. The impact of such variables as gender, the type of disability and the need for social approval was registered and were differentiated in regard to components of attitudes. The results are discussed with reference to earlier research and cues for further studies are suggested.

Aim. The main aim of our project is to find out the opinions of selected groups of respondents about the teaching of foreign languages. Methods. For verification, we chose to apply the research method of semantic differential and matched it in relation to psycholinguistics. Semantic differential is a research method aimed at verifying how respondents perceive concepts. We focused on verifying what the term language teaching evokes in three different groups of respondents (pupils/students, parents, and teachers). 16 bipolar terms were chosen, which the respondents had to evaluate on a scale of 1 to 7. The given term was evaluated more positively, the smaller the value of the number was. Didactic research was attended by 231 respondents who were divided into three basic groups: teacher, parent, and pupil/student. Then, the experimentally obtained data was statistically analysed and compared using post-hoc tests to determine which of the groups showed any results of significance. Results. Of the used terms, only 3 were statistically significant: contemporary - outdated, valuable - worthless and cheerful- sad. The statistically significant difference was manifested in the two groups of pupils/students and parents. Pupils/students evaluated the teaching of foreign languages as contemporary, valuable, and fun. By contrast, parents are inclined to answer that teaching foreign languages is outdated, less valuable and sad. Conclusion. The results evoke the implementation of new innovative based methods, for example, on integrated teaching (CLIL method) or new activating teaching methods.

In recent decades political activity has become more and more personalized. Thus, to achieve political success, it is necessary to have a recognizable and popular party leader. Polish left-wing parties have adopted a different strategy. Instead of betting on one leader, they promote “three tenors” from different political generations (Robert Biedroń, Włodzimierz Czarzasty, and Adrian Zandberg). The aim of our study (N=379) is to diagnose how voters perceive the political images of these left-wing leaders and what feelings they have towards them. We confirm the findings from other studies suggesting the effect of political preferences and ideological orientation on the perception of political image and emotional attitudes to party leaders.

Surprisingly little is known about the religious attitudes of young adults in Poland. Existing scholarship is usually written from a prescriptive view: how young people should behave or what they should do. Quantitive studies, where the researcher’s voice is not heard, but, rather, young people have a chance ‘to speak’ for themselves, appears to be lacking. This article aims to redress this gap to some extent by quantitatively studying young adults’ attitudes to sculptures erected in Poland’s largest modern pilgrimage venue (Licheń). The paper also aims to contribute to understanding how the sacred is negotiated in a contemporary Catholic pilgrimage venue.We show how respondents actively create the sacrum dimension and how it correlates with the axes of Potency / Activity / Evaluation. We posit a semantically amorphous structure for the sculptural objects at the Licheń centre and use a semantic differential technique to extract affectively oriented dimensions in attitudes towards these skeuomorphic objects. The results highlight important implications for the understanding of religion in post-modernity and of the phenomenon of modern mega-centers of religious worship. They also support the view of secularization and sacralization as two additive concomitant processes, and of ‘sacred’ / ‘profane’ as gradient, rather than binary features. SD has been widely used as an analytical tool in sociological research to measure metaphorical meaning and societal attitudes to brands and particular products (e.g. Osgood 1981; Minato 1983). However, it has rarely been applied to investigate the boundary between the sacred and the secular, or ways of objectifying the sacred (e.g. Muthén 1977). We explore this possibility, drawing on a dataset of 100 questionnaires administered to undergraduate students in a middle-sized town in Poland in October-December 2012.We hope our research will contribute to an understanding of the wider issue of what societal products like material objects can tell us about experiencing the sacred in contemporary society.

Stosowanie sprawdzonych metod doboru personelu stanowi ważny czynnik sukcesu rekrutacyjnego. Celem poniższego opracowania była prezentacja wyników oceny skuteczności popularnych narzędzi rekrutacyjnych. Jako kryteria porównania przyjęto: skuteczność, wieloaspektowość, miarodajność, rzetelność i sprawiedliwość. W badaniach wykorzystano specjalnie zaprojektowaną wielowymiarową skalę w postaci dyferencjału semantycznego, która daje możliwość ilościowego pomiaru zmiennych. Z otrzymanych danych wynika, że za najbardziej sprawiedliwą, miarodajną, rzetelną oraz skuteczną w wymiarze ogólnym rekruterzy uznali ćwiczenia praktyczne. Na dalszych pozycjach znalazły się Assessment Centre (AC), wywiad oraz testy psychologiczne. Najniższa ogólna ewaluacja skuteczności odnosiła się do kwestionariusza osobowego oraz dokumentów aplikacyjnych. Uzyskane wyniki potwierdzają rezultaty badań prowadzonych w innych krajach, co dowodzi uniwersalności i trwałości oceny różnych narzędzi doboru personelu.

Family is a dynamic structure, changing over the centuries, and even over a generation. Family’s structure, performed functions and model change. Along with these changes, the role of grandparents changes as well. In many cases, the grandparents of today become a kind of educational institution supporting, to a large extent, parents in their childcare. The changes taking place in modern society including the lengthening of life, the increase of education level, professional activity of women, labour migration of parents, or even single parenthood by choice, affect the change in the role of grandparents in the family. These changes also include emotional relationships between grandparents and their grandchildren, and the intensity of the various types of mutual activity. This article is an attempt to show the issues concerning the role of grandparents in contemporary family in theory as well as an attempt to diagnose the image of grandparents in the perception of students from secondary schools – people standing on the threshold of adulthood. The studies used the semantic differential and unfinished sentences test. The semantic differential technique makes it possible to determine the emotional component of attitudes towards grandma and grandpa. The test of unfinished sentences, which is a projection technique, was applied because it is a source of information which is not completely realized by the researched students in terms of the researched aspect – in this case, grandmother and grandfather. The results received allowed obtaining and comparing the image of grandfather and grandmother in the perception of students from vocational school, technical school and high school.

Rodzina to dynamiczna, zmieniająca się na przestrzeni wieków, a nawet na przestrzeni pokolenia podstawowa jednostka społeczna. Modyfikacjom ulegają pełnione przez nią funkcje, jej struktura i model. Wraz z tymi zmianami przemianom ulegają także role dziadków. W wielu przypadkach współcześni dziadkowie stają się swoistą instytucją wychowawczą, wspomagającą w znacznym stopniu rodziców w ich opiece nad dzieckiem. Zmiany zachodzące we współczesnym społeczeństwie – w tym wydłużający się wiek życia, wzrost poziomu wykształcenia, aktywność zawodowa kobiet, migracje zarobkowe rodziców czy chociażby samotne rodzicielstwo z wyboru – wpływają na zmianę roli dziadków w rodzinie. Zmiany te obejmują także relacje emocjonalne między dziadkami a ich wnukami oraz intensywność różnych rodzajów wzajemnej aktywności. Niniejszy artykuł poświęcony jest problematyce, dotyczącej roli dziadków we współczesnej rodzinie w ujęciu teoretycznym, a także stanowi empiryczną próbę określenia postrzegania dziadków przez ich nastoletnich wnuków – uczniów szkół ponadgimnazjalnych. W badaniach zastosowano dyferencjał semantyczny oraz test zdań niedokończonych. Technika dyferencjału semantycznego umożliwiła określenie emocjonalnego komponentu postaw wobec babci i dziadka badanych osób, natomiast test zdań niedokończonych, będący techniką projekcyjną, zastosowano ze względu na to, iż stanowi źródło informacji nie do końca uświadamianych względem badanego aspektu – w tym przypadku babci i dziadka przez osoby badane. Uzyskane wyniki badań pozwoliły uzyskać i porównać obraz dziadka i babci w percepcji uczniów szkoły zawodowej, technikum i liceum.
