Applying questionnaires is one of the basic methodologies in sociology. Usually sociologists consider that choosing a representative sample and properly formulated questions, the results will show real characteristics of the society. But the following main question should always be analyzed: are people sincere? Psychology proved that we try to meet the society's expectation. In this way the answers do not represent the questioned person’s thought, but what they considered expect from society. The present study analyzes the sincerity of police officers, asked to complete a questionnaire for a scientific purpose, respecting the principle of anonymity. The results show that around 2/3 of the questioned persons did not give sincere answers, offering importance for an inexistent person (Schnade). By analyzing the answers to another question (the importance of the television and the bicycle for the questioned persons), it was found that insincere people could be not easily excluded: the sincerity is changing from question to question; some persons are sincere regarding a specific domain and not sincere in another domain.

The present article deals with selected attitudes of market participants with respect to information gaps in real estate market. Real estate markets have recently become “active players” on an international scale. This situation leads to a careful observation of phenomena that occur on real estate markets. Nonetheless, information gaps prevent the smooth functioning of the markets in which information serves as a source of many processes. The lack of reliable, complete and current information about real estate prices makes market entities prone to search for the prices and succumb to substitute strategies that compensate the information gaps. The thesis of the present article concentrates on information gaps in the real estate market as favourable conditions for occurring the phenomenon of social influence. The hypothesis was formulated as follows: informational conformity as a factor affecting real estate price. The paper consists of two integral parts: theoretical and practical. The theoretical part concentrates on the phenomenon of social influence on real estate market which results from information gaps. Furthermore, the concept of social influence has been explained in detail. The phenomenon of social influence is defined as a situation in which entities lack proper knowledge how to react, what decision to take or what position to adopt in a particular contention, thus those entities depend on other people’s knowledge assuming that they know how to behave or that their knowledge is more accurate. As a result, the afore-mentioned entities copy behaviour noticed in others. Moreover, in the theoretical part the concepts of self-attribution bias and heuristic availability have been presented as well as their importance in the system of real estate market. The aim of the practical part was to verify whether the participants of real estate market were influenced by informational conformity. The research was conducted among the students of the University of Warmia and Mazury in Olsztyn and Kielce School of Economics, Tourism and Social Sciences. The subject matter was to verify prices of commercial and residential properties in Olsztyn and Kielce and price trends in those markets. In a planned experiment students worked in groups of six (one leader and five participants). Each team was to persuade a leader to accept the price of a particular property and to design a market trend according to the belief of the group. An opinion survey was used as a tool of research. The undertaken study allowed to achieve the research aim and confirm the research hypothesis. The most important conclusions are as follows: information gaps in real estate market contribute to emerging the phenomenon of informational conformity, which is not indifferent to real estate prices and decisions of market participants. Taking into consideration the specificity of the real estate market and the occurrence of other bahavioural factors, a tendency among entities to follow the fo

A change in the opinion of a group, treated as a network of communicating agents, caused by the accumulation of new information is expected to depend on communication within the group, coopera-tion and, possibly, a kind of conformity mechanism. We have developed a mathematical model of the creation of a group decision, including this effect. This is based on a Bayesian description of inference and can be used for both conscious and inattentive acts. This model can be used to study the effect of whether a leader exists or not and other group inhomogeneities, as well as establishing the (statistical) significance and quality of a group decision. The proposed evolution equations explain in a straightfor-ward, analytical way some general properties of the general phenomenon of conformity (groupthink). To illustrate this theoretical idea in practice, we created an information technology (IT) tool to study the effect of conformity in a small group. As an example, we present results of an experiment performed using a network of students’ tablets, which could not only measure group pressure, but also conduct and control collaborative thinking in the group.

Our contemporary life is said to be in conformity with what we do. People tend to be honest and trustworthy unlike those in the past - in the Victorian times, for example, when there were elements of hypocrisy and conventional behaviour among citizens. Many people nowadays live their lives according to their own subjective beliefs; and they speak openly about their both good and bad deeds – even if some of them were kept secret to the public. And the public is equally open to tolerate or even accept them. An analysis of many cases in which people follow their own moral beliefs shows that this category of people are not always honest – only then, when their system of moral values is in accord with the objective system of moral values. Individual moral beliefs can be a result of false or relative moral theories, or even constructed to fit one’s moral attitude. Behaviour in which one respects the established principles, though may seem genuine, does not need to be considered honest. Following this kind of thinking, a man does not have any motivation or need to control himself – human-beings can dispense with self-development. The Victorian hypocrite had at least a due respect for moral values and knew that he had done wrong. His honesty followed what was good in his life but his deeds were all in all doomed to failure. Failure on the way of applying the right moral principles in life is not dishonesty. Every attempt to follow them inspires humans to undertake some spiritual efforts and gives opportunity to one’s own personal development.

This paper focuses on ethnic tensions that level of interstate moves in intergroup and interpersonal level. This problem is extremely relevant for the modern Russian society, but it is poorly understood at the theoretical and practical levels. Conflict interaction in a labor collective, based on differences by ethnicity, recently reached the level of the problem, but increasingly consolidated in contemporary Russia. The article provides an analysis of empirical research. The basic hypothesis: tensions and conflicts of inter-ethnic interaction in the workplace can be caused by the loss of ethnic identity of respondents as a result of adaptation to the socio-cultural environment and a high degree of manifestation of assimilation and conformity. Goal of research: to identify the presence of tension and conflict in interethnic relations in the working team and conditionality of their occurrence. Method of research is a survey, which includes techniques of cross-cultural psychology. Analysis of the data showed a trend adaptation of ethnic groups to the rules and norms of Russian community. To the least different from the Russian community, migrants are forced to show conformity.

The article demonstrates the research results that the author collected while carrying out the programme in Psychopedagogical diagnostics with students of the Faculty of Pedagogy. In the course of acquiring competences in the field of diagnostics, students become familiar with a number of diagnostic tools. The aim of one of the classes in the cycle was to familiarize the students with S. Popek’s Creative Behaviours Questionnaire. The implementation of a teaching objective formulated in such a manner concurrently enabled a cognitive objective: an accurate determination of levels of creative and imitative attitudes in 20 - 30-year old undergraduates of pedagogy. The author deemed it imperative for each student to evaluate the results of the Questionnaire in person. On the meta-analysis level it was considered significant to examine the distribution of creative and imitative attitudes of educationalists in compliance with nationwide norms. The research was conducted on the premises of three universities in three different cities in Silesia. The study group encompassed 116 persons and the non-random selection was determined by the membership in a group of full-time and part-time programmes.

The article analyzes the general state of higher humanitarian education in France in the middle of the twentieth century. The problems of higher humanitarian education in France during the study period were determinated: archaic educational and administrative systems in universities, too rigid centralization model of their functioning, the lack of clear planning of the workload, the inability to take a large number of students, the lack of real democracy, the resistance to innovation and conformity. The Universities of the mid-twentieth century also faced the problem of reforming of the forms and methods of teaching, with a purpose of determination of their compliance to the requirements of neocapitalist time requirement and needs of contemporary society. Considering the number of problems in the system of university education, the contemporary French government took some steps to improve the system of humanitarian education, held active reforming of higher education in general. It was indicated that in order to improve the training of students in the university humanitarian faculties, at the faculties of literature so-called propaedeutic course has been introduced. Among the main important features, which higher humanitarian French school gained while should be named it’s democratization, the complication of the structure and the increase in its composition of importance of research units, a significant increase in funding of the education system, which had a positive impact on improving the infrastructure of universities. In 1964 – 1967 a number of reforms in higher education in the system of higher education in general and particular humanitarian were adopted. The basic principles of these reforms were the reorganization of cycles of university education and the creation of separate diplomas on various stages of study. In addition, the reforms were aimed at social and technical diversity of study, increasing the number of training programs. In 1968 was adopted the Law about the orientation of higher education, which summed the new basis for the functioning of higher education by setting some rules and specifying educational features and research process in French universities. It was established that this base was quite liberal: pedagogical, educational and financial administrative autonomy, expressed in the presence of specific rights and organizations within the university was quite broad. At the same time a serious state control over the activities of universities remained, it was necessary for the normal functioning of higher education. The Law about the orientation fixed also the need and the obligation of various activities of universities, among which: ensuring the conditions for independent learning and research, openness of teachers’ activities.

Objectives. The study presents a social psychological theory of political correctness. Political correctness is conceived as a tool which aims to attain a society in which members of minority groups will share the same degree of dignity as members of majority. To achieve this ideal, it works on three different levels. On the level of civic society it serves to heighten and to shield prestige of minorities, on the level of political system it serves to attain some political goals of progressive left, and on the level of ideology it serves to defend a neo-Marxist theory of social stratification. The crux of political correctness is a proscriptive social norm. Hypotheses. According to the main hypothesis political correctness is applied on each level in the same three steps: (1) in the first step, politically incorrect words, utterances, data and acts are identified. (2) In the next step, an ideological stereotype is applied. This stereotype explains the use of politically incorrect words and utterances by means of racism, sexism, homophobia, etc. (3) in the last step the nonconforming behavior is punished. Sample and settings. Some two hundred articles were read, analyzed and categorized. Analyses. There are a dozen of citations and direct quotations from the original articles which are in support of the hypotheses. At the same time some alternative hypotheses are presented and demonstrated to be problematic. Results. The results of these analyses are in a good fit with the theory. Study limitation. The work is based primarily on papers describing Czech scene so the results may not be generalizable to different cultures.

Cíle. Cílem práce je předložení sociálně psychologické teorie politické korektnosti. Politická korektnost je podle ní nástrojem, který je určen k dosažení společnosti, v níž budou příslušníci minorit požívat stejnou míru lidské důstojnosti, úcty a prestiže jako ostatní. K dosažení tohoto ideálu slouží na třech různých úrovních. Na každé z nich přitom sleduje zčásti odlišné cíle. Na úrovni občanské společnosti slouží ke zvýšení nebo k ochraně prestiže minorit, na úrovni politického systému slouží k dosahování cílů progresivní levice a na úrovni ideologické slouží k obraně neomarxistického výkladu sociální stratifikace. Hypotézy. Jádro teorie tvoří hypotéza, podle níž je politická korektnost aplikována na každé úrovni ve třech stejných krocích: (1) V prvním kroku dochází k identifikaci politicky nekorektních projevů. (2) V druhém kroku dochází k aplikaci ideologického stereotypu. Ten politicky nekorektní projevy vysvětluje rasismem, sexismem atp. (3) Ve třetím kroku dochází k trestání nekonformního chování. Vzorek. Bylo analyzováno několik set prací, které se týkají politické korektnosti. Analýzy. V práci je uvedena řada rozborů přímých citací a odkazů na díla, která se týkají uvedených hypotéz. Současně je uvedeno několik analýz údajů týkajících se alternativních teorií politické korektnosti. Výsledky. Výsledky analýz jsou ve shodě s teorií a navíc ji umožnily dále rozšířit a upřesnit. Omezení. V práci je pozornost věnována především českým zdrojům. Některá zjištění proto nelze extrapolovat na jiné kultury.

Praca dotyczy problemu podatności skazanych mężczyzn nieuczestniczących w podkulturze grypserskiej na manipulacje skoncentrowane na deprecjacji innych oraz odwołujące się do konformizmu. Przeprowadzono badanie mające na celu udzielenie odpowiedzi na pytanie: Czy istnieje związek między czasem izolacji więziennej a podatnością skazanych na manipulacje? Do badania podatności na manipulacje posłużono się autorską ankietą. Zbadano skazanych przebywających pierwszy raz w izolacji więziennej oraz przebywających w niej kolejny raz (N = 203). Zgodnie z przypuszczeniem, wraz z czasem izolacji więziennej skazanych pierwszy raz, wzrastała ich podatność na manipulacje skoncentrowane na deprecjacji innych (N = 116). Również zgodnie z oczekiwaniem, wraz z czasem izolacji skazanych kolejny raz zmniejszała się ich podatność na manipulacje odwołujące się do konformizmu (N = 87).

This work concerns susceptibility of convicted “non – flashing” men to manipulation concentrated on depreciation of others and connected with conformity. I’ve conducted a research to answer a question: “Is there connection between the time of prison isolation and susceptibility of imprisoned to manipulation?” To test susceptibility to manipulation I used author’s questionnaire (N = 203) imprisoned have been tested, both convicted for the first time and more.

Gdy w 2001 roku powstawał projekt internetowej encyklopedii – Wikipedii, jego twórcy za-kładali pełną inkluzywność. Początkowy okres rozwoju Wikipedii to przede wszystkim tworzenie się społeczności o cechach kontrkultury, która wzrastała na bazie ruchu wolnej treści, zapoczątkowanego tworzeniem wolnego oprogramowania w latach 90. XX wieku. Szybki rozwój wspólnot działań w wielu wersjach językowych tejże encyklopedii miał swoje istotne konsekwencje społeczne. Ponieważ między najbardziej aktywnymi jednostkami kształtowały się coraz silniejsze więzi, relacje wobec nowych użytkowników, wcześniej serdeczne i nieoficjalne, stawały się chłodniejsze i zdystansowane. W efekcie samo środowisko społeczne poprzez zmiany tychże relacji zaczęło się zmieniać. Do projektu trafiało więcej osób, gotowych na konformistyczne przyjęcie istniejących form relacji interpersonalnych. W artykule autor bazując na analizie treści wybranych deklaracji światopoglądowych użytkowników oraz na kilkuletniej obserwacji uczestniczącej, opisuje trendy w zmieniającym się systemie aksjonormatywnym oraz w wynikającym z niego podejściu społeczności do nowych użytkowników. W szczególności podkreśla zwiększa-nie liczby edytorów przyjmujących wartości konserwatywne i co za tym idzie – postawy konfor-mistyczne wobec edytorów włączających się do działań z wartościami liberalnymi i postawami nonkonformistycznymi.

In 2001 when the online encyclopedia – Wikipedia was created, its editors received full in-clusiveness. The initial period of the development of Wikipedia is mostly forming the countercul-ture community. That movement was started by hackers who created free software projects such as GNU/Linux in the 90s of the XX century. The fast development of community of that encyclopedia has caused fundamental social consequences. Increasingly strong ties have developed among the most active users. Relationships with new users, previously cordial and informal, became cooler and distanced. As a result, the same social environment through changes in these relationships began to change. More people ready to accept existing forms of interpersonal relationships arrived to the project. In this article the author, based on the content analysis of selected philosophical statements of users and several years of participant observation, describes the changing trends in the value system and changes in treatment of new users by the community of Wikipedia. The author emphasizes increasing number of editors taking conservative values and conformist attitudes to editors taking liberal values and nonconformist attitudes.
