Researchers often make an opposition between nomothetic and idiographic (constructivist) approaches in psychology. Such a dichotomous distinction takes for granted that the main aim of scientific psychology is to generate universal theories, culturally and historically unchangeable. Such a distinction (a) silently assumes objectivity of scientific knowledge and (b) refuses psychology the right of autonomy, by perceiving it as inferior to natural sciences. The present paper proposes an alternative understanding of psychology as a set of middle-range theories. The range of these theories is determined by the results of meta-analytic findings and structural relations between the theories. Thus practical utility becomes a key dimension to evaluate a given theory. The consequences of such an approach are discussed within the context of social psychology and psychohistory.

Theory and research are presented relating the impact of social and temporal categorizations on the effectiveness of intergroup contact. The author reviews and compares previous proposals and his own more recent hypotheses concerning the role of intergroup perception in the processes of reducing prejudice and improving intergroup relations after successful contact. Three major approaches (personalized cognitions, salient categories, common ingroup identity) are discussed in the context of author's research on Polish-Jewish encounters. The new conception based on perspective-taking (namely: intergroup transgressions) is proposed as a possible alternative to current approaches.

This article discusses the topic of suppression effects that have often been reported in recent social psycho¬logical literature. Suppression takes place when a mediating variable enhances predictive power of inde¬pendent variable on dependent variable. In this way we are able to capture with statistical analyses all sorts of theories of opponent processes that appear not only in motivation psychology but also in other areas of social psychology. Using latest social/personality psychology research examples, we describe three types of suppression effects (classical, net and cooperative) with possibilities of their use in research. At the end of the article we propose an example of suppression analysis conducted on a fictional dataset.

Hate speech can have very serious consequences for the health of its victims and may also be associated with stigmatization and with forcing members of a group to hide their identity. Groups that often encounter hate speech in Poland are Ukrainians and foreign students at Polish universities. The results of two studies conducted among economic immigrants from Ukraine and foreign students at the University of Warsaw indicate a relationship between exposure to hate speech and the occurrence of post-traumatic stress disorder, more severe symptoms of depression, lower self-esteem, and negative affect. Among immigrants from Ukraine, more frequent contact with hate speech was also associated with avoiding the use of their native language in the presence of Poles and other Ukrainians. The research results clearly show the negative consequences of hate speech.
