IntroductionThis article focuses on the relationship between parental attitudes of the father perceived by adolescents and their school achievements. Nowadays, interest in the role of the father in raising a child is growing. The influence of the students’ family environment in shaping their school achievement is very important.Material and methodsThe study group consisted of 687 pupils, including 418 (60.8%) girls and 267 (39.2%) boys. Fathers’ attitudes were examined with the Parental Attitudes Scale version of “My Father”. In order to establish the relationship between the father’s parental attitudes perceived by teenagers and grade point average (GPA), Pearson’s r correlation coefficient values were calculated. In the next step the role of gender as a moderator of these relationships was evaluated.ResultsThe results of the conducted research show that the acceptance and autonomy attitudes positively correlate with the average grade from last year, while the requirements and inconsistency attitudes showed negative correlations with school achievements. The results indicated that gender moderated the relationship between perceived acceptance, autonomy, protectiveness and GPA.ConclusionsIt was found that an increase in the level of the father’s perceived acceptance and autonomy leads to a higher average grade than the previous year, although only among girls. The level of protectiveness was found to be a negative predictor of school achievements, although only among boys.
(1) Background: Professional driving is a stressful occupation that requires high levels of attention and decision-making, often leading to job stress. Impulsiveness, a personality trait characterized by a tendency to act without forethought, has been associated with negative outcomes such as anxiety, stress, and risky behaviors. Mindfulness has been proposed as a potential strategy for reducing job stress in various occupational settings. However, little is known about the relationship between these variables. This study aimed to investigate the mediating role of mindfulness in the relationship between impulsiveness and job stressfulness perception among professional drivers. (2) Methods: A total of 258 professional drivers from Poland, Lithuania, and Slovakia, have completed self-report questionnaires: Impulsiveness-Venturesomeness-Empathy; Subjective Assessment of Work; Five Facet Mindfulness. (3) Results: Results indicated a positive correlation between impulsiveness and job stressfulness perception, and a negative correlation with mindfulness. Mindfulness partially mediated the relationship between impulsiveness and job stressfulness perception. Additionally, variations were identified in the perceived work environment factors and mindfulness among drivers based on their country of origin. (4) Conclusions: The findings suggest that mindfulness could be a useful approach for reducing job stressfulness perception among professional drivers with high levels of impulsiveness. Given the implications of job stressfulness for professional drivers’ health and safety, developing mindfulness interventions tailored to their specific needs could be a promising direction for future research and intervention development.
The aim of the research is to increase the knowledge of self-esteem and quality of communication in marriage in women after childbirth, taking into account the number of their children. The research group included 95 women after childbirth who completed the authors’ own sociodemographic questionnaire and two psychological standardized measures, the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (SES) and Marriage Communication Questionnaire by Kaźmierczak and Plopa. It was found that self-esteem proved to be a positive predictor of perceived support and commitment provided by the partner only among mothers of two or more children, whereas in single mothers perceived support did not depend on the woman’s self-esteem. At the first birth, the support from the partner is not related to the mother’s level of self-esteem.
Good quality communication in the family is a source of positive relations among its members. It is the most important characteristic of a well-functioning family. Very interesting perceptions of communication in the family are held by high achieving students. In those young people, communication in the family correlates negatively with their high grade point average. Also, they evaluate positively communication in the family as a whole but less positively one-to-one verbal interactions with the mother and the father. This observation is explained by the fact that the family forms a system. Moreover, communication is associated with positive relationships and attitudes such as acceptance and autonomy, but correlates negatively with control, over-demanding behaviour, and inconsistency in the parents of high achieving students.
W dzisiejszych czasach zagadnienia rekrutacji oraz poszukiwania pracy są tematami ważnymi i często poruszanymi przez naukowców z różnych dziedzin. Zarówno czynniki wewnętrzne, jak i zewnętrzne mogą mieć znaczenie względem funkcjonowania człowieka w procesie rekrutacji. Istotna dla odczuwania satysfakcji z całości życia, w tym z pełnionej roli zawodowej, jest umiejętność zachowania względnej równowagi między inwestowaniem czasu i energii w różne obszary zaangażowań człowieka. Idea względnego równoważenia aktywności w poszczególnych sferach życia jednostki opisywana jest w wielu ujęciach pod pojęciem work-life balance. W tym kontekście psychologiczna analiza procesu rekrutacji oprócz kompetencji zawodowych powinna uwzględniać również inne sfery funkcjonowania osoby ubiegającej się o pracę. Autorki niniejszego tekstu skoncentrowały się na badaniu znaczenia sytuacji rodzinnej wobec podejmowania przez osobę decyzji o udziale w rekrutacji na stanowiska poniżej posiadanych kwalifikacji. Celem przeprowadzonych badań była odpowiedź na pytanie, jak aktualna sytuacja rodzinna osoby przystępującej do rekrutacji wiąże się z jej decyzjami o miejscach, w których skłonna jest szukać pracy. W ramach projektu przebadano w 11 miastach w Polsce 302 kandydatów w wieku od 18 do 45 r.ż., wykorzystując autorskie narzędzie do pomiaru zmiennych istotnych dla podjęcia decyzji o aplikowaniu na określone stanowisko pracy – Skali Decyzji Rekrutacyjnej.
