The present study explores the relationship between Cloninger scales and Strelau's Regulative Theory of Temperament (RTT ) traits. Cloninger's psychobiological model identifies four dimensions of temperament (Novelty seeking, Harm Avoidance, Reward Dependence and Persistence) and three dimensions of character (Self-Directedness, Cooperativeness and Self-Transcendence). RTT proposes the traits of Briskness, Perseveration, Sensory Sensitivity, Emotional Reactivity, Endurance and Activity as the basic dimensions underlying individual differences. The relationships between the dimensions of Cloninger's Temperament and Character and Strelau's Regulative Theory of Temperament are investigated in a sample of 282 participants. Data analysis demonstrated some significant correlations between the two models. The strongest associations were found between the dimension of Harm Avoidance from Cloninger’s concept and Strelau’s RTT traits (positive correlations from r = .73 for Emotional Reactivity to r = .48 for Perseveration, and negative correlations from r = -.57 for Endurance to r = -.51 for Briskness). However, there is not enough evidence to suggest that the two models offer an alternative way of explaining individual differences. According to RTT, temperamental traits are expressed in formal characteristics of behavior (energetic and temporal) and every kind of behavior (irrespective of its content) can be described in the same formal categories. In the Psychobiological Model of Personality the traits are characterized rather by the content or goals of behavior. In this model, in addition to underlining the biological variation of heritable traits, the social, cultural and phenotypical levels of behavior are reflected.

Celem artykułu jest prezentacja pojęcia afordancji z perspektywy wartości dla klienta. J.J. Gibson jest autorem interakcjonistycznego spojrzenia na percepcję i działanie, koncentrując się na informacjach dostępnych w środowisku. Po omówieniu klasycznego ujęcia roli promocji w wspieraniu procesu decyzyjnego konsumentów autorzy omówili podstawowe tezy teorii Gibsona i jej rozszerzenia. Pokazali, jak wiele aktualnych problemów marketingowych daje się ująć w ramach koncepcji afordancji Gibsona, oraz przedstawili jej implikacje dla marketingu.

The aim of the article is to present the concept of affordance from consumer value perspective. J.J. Gibson developed an interactionist view of perception and action that focused on information that is available in the environment. After discussing the classical view on supporting role of promotion in consumer decision process, the main theses of the theory of J. Gibson and its extensions are presented. We indicate how many current marketing ideas fit into Gibsonian theory of affordance and we discuss its marketing implications.

There is no widely accepted defi nition or conceptualization of workaholism. The primary purpose of this paper is to clarify some of these issues and defi ne and contextualize excessive workload together with its negative consequences. Our study presents a more comprehensive understanding of workaholism and takes into account employee’s cognitive (beliefs) and personality factors (perfectionism and obsessive compulsiveness), situational factors of work environment, and person’s working style. A clearer understanding of the underpinnings of workaholism may allow the practitioners to assess and manage work a7-30ddiction better.

Research on the fi rst version of the Working Excessively Questionnaire revealed its potential use for assessing the work overload problem. The aim of the present paper is to present the development and the psychometric properties of the second version of the WEQ. The development of WEQ occurred in two main steps. In the fi rst phase, an initial list of 229 items was created. Exploratory and confi rmatory factor analysis on a sample of 1,746 persons revealed an interpretable 78-item, four-factor solution with good internal consistency. We considered practical experience from the use of our questionnaire, particularly the comments from workplace studies where the questionnaire had been used. In the second phase, a total of 2,658 employees aged 17 - 67 completed a questionnaire and a demographics survey. An exploratory factor analysis was accomplished using maximum likelihood extraction with oblimin rotation. A four-factor structure was retained. The four-factor solution explained 34.58% of the variance and provided a good fi t to the data. The fi nal version of the WEQ questionnaire consists of 65 statements. The four factors were Lack Of Control Over Work Scale (LCWS), Perfectionist Working Style Scale (PWSS), General Beliefs About Work Scale (GBWS), and Perceived Oppressiveness Of The Organization Scale (POOS). Each factor contained an adequate number of items and had good internal consistency. The results of this study suggest that the revised WEQ appears to be a psychometrically sound tool for the assessment of the work overload problem.

This article presents the results of correlation studies on the Perfectionist Working Style Scale (PWSS) of the Working Excessively Questionnaire (WEQ), developed by Hornowska and Paluchowski (2007). The items of PWSS do not relate to consequences of excessive workload or work addiction, as much as to potential causes of these phenomena. The items pertain to a person’s way / style of preparing and conducting work activities, which is characterized by a person’s excessive strive for excellence. The aim of the study was to investigate the psychological correlates of the perfectionist working style. We formulated hypotheses that apply to the relationship between PWSS and constructs such as self-esteem, locus of control, temperamental traits, hope for success and need for achievement.

This article presents the results of correlation studies on the General Beliefs About Work Scale (GBWS) of the Working Excessively Questionnaire (WEQ), developed by Hornowska and Paluchowski (2007). GBWS consists of items describing possible beliefs about work. Many of them refer to the attitude towards the working hours. The results of the GBWS may be used to fi nd internal factors that contribute to excessive workload. Our aim was to analyze the psychological correlates of a belief that work defi nes the value of a person. We formulated hypotheses concerning the relationship between the GBWS and constructs like attachment style, temperament traits, hope for success, self-esteem and demographic data.

This article presents the results of correlation studies on the Perceived Oppressiveness of the Organization Scale (POOS) of the Working Excessively Questionnaire (WEQ) - developed by Hornowska and Paluchowski (2007). POOS consists of items referring to a person’s functioning within their work organization. Answers on this scale allow to point out the risk factors associated with workplace characteristics that may lead to work addiction. The aim of the study was to investigate the psychological correlates of the perceived oppressiveness of a workplace. We hypothesized that the POOS may be connected to constructs like locus of control, temperamental traits and self esteem. We also tested the demographic factors.

This article presents the results of correlation studies on the Lack of Control Over Work Scale (LCWS) of the Working Excessively Questionnaire (WEQ), developed by Hornowska and Paluchowski (2007). LCWS consists of items indicating a lack of control over the work sphere, in the cognitive, behavioral and social dimension. The results of the LCWS Scale may be applied to research with the use of WEQ questionnaire as a scree ning tool allowing to differentiate the individuals addicted to work from those who are not in danger of becoming addicted or those who are in the risk group. The aim of our study was to investigate the psychological correlates of the lack of control over work. We formulated hypotheses concerning the relationship between the LCWS and constructs like self-esteem, locus of control, temperamental traits, and sense of mission. We also tested hypothesis concerning demographic factor and the LCWS.

The challenge for psychology is to integrate findings from genetics and environmental (social, biological, chemical) factors, into the study of human behavior and deep understanding of the emergence of different changes in the anatomy, physiology, and chemistry of the nervous system that influence the mental health. Currently, cognitive abilities associated with learning and memory, reasoning, problem solving, and developing relationships are in scope of molecular psychology, which is the study of behavior and its underlying brain systems using the tools of molecular biology. However, studies have demonstrated that DNA sequence variations and rare mutations account for only a small fraction of the risk for inheritance of personality traits and mental illness. The large unaccounted heritability of personality traits and mental health suggest that additional molecular and cellular mechanisms are involved. Various complex gene-environment interactions can lead to different phenotypes. These structural changes may be crucial for the development of mature neural networks that support emotional, cognitive, and social behavior. The generation of different morphology, physiology, and behavioral outcomes from a single genome in response to changes in the environment forms the basis for phenotypic plasticity, which is fundamental to the way organisms cope with environmental variation, navigate the present world, and solve future problems. Epigenetics has major implications for psychology and gives the new answer for the old question- what is the biochemical basis of learning. It is bringing back the leading role of environment and behavior, by including their effects on genome function. In addition, it opens up the possibility of memory being stored in the epigenome, so that our experiences may be embedded in our genome by epigenetic mechanisms. Epigenetics can be described as the study of the complex interactions underlying the development of an organism over its lifetime.

Artykuł omawia wykorzystanie metody triangulacji w naukach społecznych. Triangulacja to strategia zwiększania rzetelności i trafności wyników badań. To zabieg metodologiczny mający na celu uwiarygodnienie zbieranych danych dzięki uwzględnieniu więcej niż dwóch ich źródeł. Polega na włączeniu różnych modeli i narzędzi pomiarowych do badania tego samego zjawiska. Autorki omawiają rolę triangulacji (szczególnie tzw. triangulacji danych) w naukach społecznych. Wskazują, że podstawowe nieporozumienie dotyczące triangulacji polega na oczekiwaniu, że różne metody będą dostarczały takich samych danych i będą prowadzić do takich samych rezultatów. Istoty triangulacji należy upatrywać nie tylko w możliwości zwiększania zaufania do otrzymanych wyników, ale przede wszystkim w możliwości głębszego zrozumienia badanego zjawiska i możliwości generowania nowych sposobów jego wyjaśniania.

This article discusses the use of triangulation in social research. Triangulation is typically a strategy for improving the reliability and validity of research findings. It is a powerful technique, used to verify the findings of a study using data from more than two data sources. Triangulation employs a combination of several research tools or inquiry approaches in the study of the same phenomenon. Positive evidence for the use of triangulation (specifically data triangulation) in social research is presented. A common misunderstanding about triangulation – that different data sources or inquiry approaches should yield the same result – is demonstrated. Triangulation research can serve two purposes: (1) to corroborate findings and more importantly, (2) to gain a holistic view of the phenomenon under study. Triangulation may offer an opportunity for deeper insight into the relationship between the approach to the inquiry and the phenomenon under study, and allow the creation of new ways of understanding.
