The study is linked to our previous research that focused on the analysis of attitudes of middleaged people towards aging in relation to their level of self-control and life satisfaction. The aim of the presented study was to find out the relationship between positive and negative attitudes of middle-aged people towards aging on one side and their level of self-control and self-care on the other. The sample consisted of 121 respondents (82 women and 39 men) between 40 and 50 years of age. Three methodologies were used in the research: RAQ (Gething, 1994, Scale tracing attitudes to processes of aging), Scale of self-control (SCS) (Tangney, Baumeister, Boone, 2004) and questionnaire monitoring the level of self-care (Lovaš, 2010). Analysis consisted of descriptive analysis, correlation analysis and one-way dispersion analysis. The results supported that respondents with negative attitude to aging show lower level of self-control and also lower level of self-care and, vice versa, that respondents with positive attitude show higher level of self-control and self-care – as confirmed by the analysis. The results revealed medium level of relation between self-control and self-care. Generic differences proved true only in the case of self-care.

Prezentovaná štúdia1 sa týka výskumu postojov strednej generácie k procesom starnutia vo vzťahu k miere sebakontroly a celkovej životnej spokojnosti. Naším cieľom bolo zistiť vzťah medzi pozitívnym a negatívnym postojom k starnutiu ľudí v strednom veku a mierou starostlivosti o seba a sebakontrolou. Vzorku tvorilo 121 (39 mužov a 82 žien) respondentov/tiek vo vekovom rozpätí 40 - 50 rokov. Vo výskume boli použité 3 metodiky: RAQ (Gething, 1994, Škála zaznamenávajúca postoje k procesom starnutia), Škála sebakontroly SCS (Tangney, Baumeister, Boone, 2004) a dotazník monitorujúci mieru starostlivosti o seba (Lovaš, 2010). Pri analýze bola použitá deskriptívna štatistika, korelačná analýza a jednovchodová analýza rozptylu. Výsledky ukázali, že respondenti s negatívnym postojom vykazujú nižšiu mieru sebakontroly a v súvislosti s tým aj nižšiu mieru starostlivosti o seba, a naopak respondenti s pozitívnym postojom vykazujú vyššiu mieru sebakontroly a vyššiu mieru starostlivosti - čo analýza potvrdila. Výsledky poukazujú na strednú mieru vzťahu medzi sebakontrolou a starostlivosťou o seba. Rodové rozdiely sa preukázali len v starostlivosti o seba.

The paper deals with the possibility of operationalization and review process of self-control in dealing with stressful situations. This verifies an alternative of indirect identification of self-control in coping through by us selected indicator of suppression of selected forms of coping. Based on the definition of self-control, we sampled the suppression by the difference between the wanted (under consideration) and then realized behavior (coping) in the background of simplified questionnaire of coping and model stressful situation. The sample consisted of 153 college students. Self-control has been shown mainly in strategies 7. Express negative emotions, 8. Stop fighting and 13. Show that this all is ridiculous. These strategies are socially undesirable, which further supports the suitability of the chosen indicator of suppression. It is also documented by a positive correlation of these strategies with Scale of Self-control self-report questionnaire.

The paper presents an overview of the theoretical and empirical information regarding the overuse of television and some other new media (especially the internet and video games) in contexts of individual's self-control. After defining the main and related concepts, it emphasize the legitimacy of investigation problem of media behavior through actual research mapping the amount of time people spend by this media. Self-control can be seen as a constant disposition in the context of problematic media behavior, and this view reflects both the personal approach, and as the actual ability of a person that can vary under influence of various factors. Inspiring in this context seems to be a new model of unregulated use of media. The conclusion summarizes the potential preventive aspects through which the individual can prevent problem media behavior.

The systematic acquisition of knowledge is an important skill. Nevertheless, students seem to have problems with proper planning of their education and preparing their tasks on time. Referring to behavioral economics, this can be explained with the planner and doer model. This draws attention to the problems with self-control and describes the dilemma caused by internal tension between favorable long-term plans and short-term actions distracting attention from implementation of the former. The aim of the article was to analyze student activity in e-learning classes. The analysis concerned a group of students regularly performing assigned tasks and the spread of their activities within the given period. It also allowed investigations into whether the time of submitting the task affected its quality and whether systematic work during the semester affected the exam result. The analysis of student activity in the e-learning classes shows that: • There was a large group of students regularly submitting tasks, but there was also a group who never prepared any of them. • The spread of activity over particular days showed that most posts were published on the last two days of the given period. • There was a relationship between the time of submitting the task and its evaluation – the posts from the final two days received a lower average number of points than those from previous days. • There was a positive relationship between the ongoing performance of the tasks and the exam results. The analysis presented here is a preliminary study but shows some trends among the students.

This paper presents a validation study of a new questionnaire of self-control as an individual trait. The questionnaire has two parallel versions, one based on self-reports (AS-36) and another one based on informant reports (AS-36-3). Each version consists of three subscales, called Inhibition (12 items), Switching (12 items), and Goal Monitoring (12 items). Eight samples of participants (N = 935 altogether) took part in the validation study. Both versions obtained satisfactory indices of internal consistency, assessed with Cronbach’s alpha and split-half coefficients. Selfcontrol assessed with this scale proved to be entirely independent of general intelligence. However, AS-36 and AS-36-3 scores tended to correlate with other self-report measures of trait self control, such as Tangney, Baumeister, and Boone’s (2004) self-control scale. We conclude that AS-36 is a valid and reliable tool, suitable for assessment of self-control in both research and diagnostic settings.

The goal of the study is to present the results of the research aimed at the processes of ageing in context of selected psychosocial factors, in particular self-control, self-care and attitude to ageing as possible factors having an influence on processes of the preparation and adaption for ageing. The study follows the earlier published summarizing theoretical study (Ráczová, 2012). The sample was composed of 119 respondents (46 man and 73 women) of age between 65 and 75 years (average age of 70 years, &delta = 3.91). The following three methodologies were used in the study: RAQ (Gething, 1994, Scale marking down attitudes to ageing processes), Self Control Scale - SCS (Tangney, Baumeister, Boone, 2004) and self- care Questionnaire (Lovaš, 2010). In the analysis there were used descriptive statistics, correlation analysis and ANOVA analysis. The results point out the existence of positive relation between attitudes to ageing, self-control and self-care among seniors. The results indicate that the respondents with positive attitude show higher degree of self-control as well as of self-care compared to seniors with negative attitude to ageing. Gender differences were proved only in attitudes to ageing, where men show more positive attitude. Significant differences in self-care were proved as well, what was due to different family status of seniors (both men and women), whereas divorced seniors have higher degree of care of myself compared to the married ones.

Objectives. This paper aimed to increase knowledge about the psychological well-being and self-control of students during their college years and the impact of these indicators on academic performance. Sample and settings. The researchers developed and integrated a semester psychological elective course “Successful Learning”. During this course, the students received theoretical information about planning, goal setting, self-discipline, and interaction with others and practised the acquired knowledge in practical classes. Before and after the end of the course, they passed testing according to the questionnaires of psychological well-being (PWB, Gao and McLellan) and self-control (SC, Unger et al.). The Student’s t-test was used for comparison. Results. The findings showed that self-control and psychological well-being were amenable to improvement. The documented results of previous studies on the impact of self-control and psychological well-being on academic performance were confirmed by ANOVA. Study limitations. A relatively small sample size and a wide age range of participants could affect the accuracy of the results. The absence of a control group makes it impossible to exclude the influence of external factors on the psychological well-being and self-control of participants.

Through ages human beings have developed psycho-hygienic concepts self-preserve their own mental life, which are connected with a cultural-historical development of mankind, history of philosophical thought, pedagogical culture, formation of the moral bases of social life. The psycho-hygiene of the child family education is a basic condition for the prevention of psychological violation and, consequently, for the formation of a stable sense of safety and personal security. Psychological and pedagogical means, consciously applied by parents, have a function of the mental health protection and prevention of the medical interference and legal sanctions. Psycho-hygienic criteria of children and adolescents’ mental health quality, their classification in accordance with the mental health groups allow to determine appropriate levels of the mental states in their age variability. The methods of the age inter-consistency of the personality functioning to help predict the psycho-hygiene prognostication of the certain traumatic stages of the family life. If the culture of mental self-assessment and self-control it is considered as a norm of self-observation of the relationship between the child’s personality and estimated continuum of the micro-social environment, what makes it possible to apply is the pedagogical method that has significant psycho-hygiene opportunities and a large psycho-traumatic potential. The article presents a complete classification of the estimated judgments, and methods to determine the child’s needs in the self-assessment, which is formed by the micro-social environment.

Conflict situations and situations of guile are not rare in our everyday life. In context of broadly conceived study, inspired by Richetin´s and Richardson´s (2011) extension of Theory of Planned Behavior, the character of anticipated emotions in relation to situation of aggressive and non aggressive reaction is analyzed. Influence of behavioral desire and perceived behavioral control is examined. Results show anticipating different emotions in relation to situation and acknowledge significant role of behavioral desire. Unimportant role of perceived behavioral control is ascertained. Closer explanations in relation to self-control and self-regulation is discussed.

Objectives. Procrastination is a phenomenon, that causes negative consequences in terms of achieving study and work goals, especially for teachers and students of teacher courses. The aim of the research was to examine the contribution of self-control and academic motivation on procrastination, and to examine the differences in procrastination with respect to socio-demographic factors. Sample and setting. 333 university students from teachers’ courses of the Presov University (68.5% of women; Mage=20.51, SD=1.61) participated in the research. The respondents completed questionnaires that measured procrastination, socio-demographic variables (gender, age, year of study, living during the semester), self-control, and academic motivation (intristic motivation to know, intristic motivation toward accomplishment, intristic motivation to experience stimulation, external regulation, introjected regulation, identified regulation, amotivation). Statistical analysis. Data were analysed by descriptive statistics, t-tests, and linear regression. Results. The results show no age and gender differences in the procrastination. The linear model explained 45,8% of the variation in the procrastination. Four variables were significant: self-control, introjected regulation, gender, and living in a sublet. The results confirm an association between self-regulatory mechanisms, motivation, and autonomy of university students. The results also have shown the importance of these variables within the reduction of procrastination among future teachers. Study limitation. Unbalanced sample distribution in terms of study years; cross-sectional and self-reported data.

The author of this article conducted a representative survey (N=1081) to examine the signs of non-clinical narcissism in professional life, human relations, and self-control. He found that people with narcissistic characteristics more often occupy socio-professional positions that place high demands on self-presentation, which means on appearance and demeanour. People with narcissistic characteristics also tend to seek out such professions more often. The interest in obtaining jobs that place high demands on self-presentation is more strongly associated with non-clinical narcissism than with whether or not the individual currently occupies such a position. Respondents with narcissistic characteristics also more often profess better chances of succeeding in such a position. People with narcissistic characteristics typically communicate on two typical levels: ego-confirmative and negotiative. Narcissistic types generally use communication primarily as a means of presenting their idealised Self (ego-confirmative level). However, when respondents who scored as narcissists in the test enter an interaction from which only one side can profit (negotiative comunication), they defend only their own interests and pay little attention to the needs of others. Narcissistic types also exhibit a higher level of self-control, which some criminologists associate with delinquency.

The aim of work is to find out how self-control influences word associations. The research presented herein provides new insight into manifestations of self-control. Experimental study is based on the Strength model (Baumeister et al., 1998), which assumes that self-control relies on limited resources of ego which become depleted with increased exercising of self-control (Ego depletion). The aim of this experiment was to verify in an empirical manner that the impairment of self-control can be manifested in word association tests. Continuous word association test (Kondáš, 1979) was used in this experiment. Distinct indicators of continuous word associations were divided into the following 4 categories; verbal dynamics, abnormalities in association, errors in the reproduction of association reactions and the overall number of mistakes. Parallel task and "e letter" crossing out exercises were used in order to impair ego resource. One-Way ANOVA was used in the analysis. The results of the study indicate that impaired self-control, induced by the "e letter" crossing out task, increased verbal dynamics. According to the obtained results, Continuous word association test provoke automatic processes. Further important indicators of impaired self-control were increased perseverations of potentially conflicting word 'control', erroneous reproductions of potentially conflicting word 'explosions' and the overall indicator of mistakes in conflict word 'explosions and control'. The experiment results show an increase in the number of mistakes of word association production when self-control is impaired.

The article is a report of studies on the relationship between social support and the effectiveness of treatment for diabetes in youth. The aim of this study was to answer the question whether between patients with different treatment outcome differences in perceived social support. The study were 100-strong group of diabetics aged 16–18 years (50 girls and 50 boys), which has been assigned to groups of varying effectiveness of diabetes management. Adopted two criteria for allocation of subjects into groups: 1) the level of self-control of diabetes measured by the scale of „Treatment of Diabetes”(LC), 2) the degree of metabolic control measured by HbA1c. To measure the social support Sarason’s Social Support Questionnaire was used. Analysis of test results does not reveal significant differences in social support among patients with high and low self-control. In patients with varying degrees of metabolic control of diabetes patients with poor treatment outcome perceive less social support network (p < 0.05), but they are more satisfied with it (p < 0.01) than patients with good control of diabetes. In addition, the length of morbidity of diabetes is moderately, negatively correlated with the network of support and the degree of satisfaction with the aid received.

In this paper, we present a new questionnaire for the assessment of self-control as an individual trait. We describe the process of construction of this assessment tool. We also report the results of relevant validation studies. The questionnaire has two independent versions, one based on self-reports (NAS-50) and another one based on other-reports (NAS-40). The first version consists of five subscales (10 items each), called Initiative and Persistence (IP), Proactive Control (PC), Switching and Flexibility (SF), Inhibition and Adjournment (IA), and Goal Maintenance (GM). Seven samples of participants (N = 934 altogether) took part in the validation study. The second version has not been split into subscales. Both versions obtained satisfactory indices of internal consistency, assessed with Cronbach’s alpha (for NAS- 50 total score a = .861, for the subscales a between .726 and .867; for NAS-40 a = .844). The NAS-50 and NAS-40 scores were highly correlated with other measures of self-control, including Tangney, Baumeister, and Boone’s (2004) self-control scale. They also proved to be entirely independent of general intelligence. In conclusion, both versions can be regarded reliable and valid enough, and therefore suitable for the assessment of trait self-control for research purposes.

The article addresses the problem of optimization of the system of musical education of preschool and primary school children by means of additional kinds of educational activities in health-caredirection. The aim of the article is to examine the nature and peculiarities of psycho-corrective influence of music therapy of preschool and primary school age in the process of their musical and educational activity. The study used the methods of the theoretical analysis of psycho-educational, philosophical and art criticism literature. The innovative technique based on using the ideas or separate elements of musical-rational psychotherapy of V.I. Petrushyna, author’s system of psycho-corrections by V. M. Draganchuk, methodology of development and complex correction of different sides of preschool and primary school children’s psyche of M. I. Chistyakova, music-therapeutics direction of musical education by system of Waldorf pedagogics. The article examines the mechanisms of psycho-corrective influence on children’s personality by means of music games, sound toning and singing songs, musical-dancing activities, rhythmic exercises, contact and contactless massage, autogenous training, breathing exercises, activation of visual images and ideas, music-improvised creativity, etc. The practical significance of the article is to develop the innovative methods of teaching music using music therapy in the system of preschool and primary school education. Considering the possibility of corrective action of music art on physical, emotional and intellectual sphere of the organism, it is understood that music is the language of nonverbal communication. As a result the main influence is made on the mood, emotions and feelings of a person. However, understanding the person as an inseparable unity of all three spheres, it is worth noting some influence on the physical and intellectual sphere, but in a different perspective. The person who interacts with music after this process becomes a qualitatively different person. The conclusions of the study indicate the efficacy and the effectiveness of the psycho-corrective influence of the music therapy on mental, emotional and volitional area of children’s personality, that leads to optimization of musical and educational process and the development of musicality in particular. A next trend of the study is seen in the implementation of music therapy in the system of training of future music teachers.

W artykule dokonano prezentacji teorii samokontroli/biegu życia autorstwa T.C. Pratta. Przedstawiono jej zalety, jako syntezy dwóch ważnych nurtów teoretycznych w kryminologii. Wskazano również na istotne deficyty tej teorii. Przede wszystkim jednak zaprezentowano argumentację na rzecz tezy, że propozycja Pratta może być uzupełniona i rozwinięta w ramach podejścia ewolucyjnego. Autorzy przedstawili pewne szczegółowe propozycje w tym zakresie oraz wskazali na potencjalne kierunki i kluczowe założenia projektu dalszego wyjaśniania związków między poziomem samokontroli a biegiem życia jednostki w ujęciu ewolucyjnym.

The article presents the theory of self-control/life-course by T. C. Pratt. Its advantages were presented as a synthesis of two important theoretical trends in criminology. Important deficits in this theory have also been pointed out. Above all, however, the argument was presented that Pratt’s proposal could be supplemented and developed within an evolutionary approach. The authors presented some detailed proposals in this respect and pointed to the potential directions and key assumptions of the project to further explain the relationship between the level of self-control and the evolutionary perspective on the course of an individual’s life.

W ostatnich latach duża część badań dotyczących samokontroli weryfikowała założenia tzw. modelu zasobowego, który został zaproponowany przez Roya Baumeistera i współpracowników. Według tego modelu wszystkie formy samokontroli opierają się na ograniczonym zasobie, który wraz z kolejnymi jej aktami się wyczerpuje. To skutkuje stanem tzw. wyczerpania ego, w którym zdolność do efektywnej samokontroli jest ograniczona. W poniższej pracy zaprezentowano przegląd badań nad zasobowym modelem Baumeistera, w szczególności poszukiwania i próby weryfikacji biologicznej podstawy zasobu. Następnie przytoczono badania, które wskazywały na alternatywne wyjaśnienia mechanizmów samokontroli oraz opisano najnowsze propozycje teoretyczne, postulujące, że za efekt wyczerpania ego odpowiedzialne są nie tyle ograniczone zasoby, ile procesy decyzyjne i motywacyjne. Ostatnia część pracy dotyczy niedawnych doniesień ujawniających problemy z replikowalnością efektu wyczerpania ego. Zdaniem autorów niniejszego artykułu analiza wyników dotychczasowych badań oraz ich replikacje wskazują na znikomą użyteczność modelu zasobowego w objaśnieniu mechanizmów samokontroli.

In the last years, much of research in the field of self-control was aimed to verify assumptions of the resource model of self-control, introduced by Roy Baumeister and colleagues. According to this model, all forms of self-control rely on a limited resource, which is depleted by engaging in further acts of self-control. This results is a state of ego depletion, in which the ability to perform self-control effectively is diminished. In this article, we provide an overview of research on ego depletion, focusing on experimental attempts to verify the biological basis of the resource. Additionally, we discuss research that postulate alternative explanations of the mechanisms of self-control and we describe the newest theoretic proposals, which put emphasis on motivational and decision--making processes as a cause of ego depletion effect, rather than on limited resource. Lastly, we reflect on implications of recent reports revealing problems with replicability of ego depletion. We argue that limited resource explanation did not provide a useful framework for explaining mechanisms of self-control.
