The aim of the paper is to compare the way in which the concept of educational standards and its introduction into educational policy and school practice is perceived by teachers from Serbia and teachers from Croatia. The paper also investigates teachers’ perspectives on educational standards in the Croatian and Serbian primary and secondary education and contrasts them with the understanding of standards elsewhere. A qualitative methodological approach was applied in conducting the interviews and focus groups with teachers, accompanied by a thematic analysis of the collected data. The interviews and focus groups were carried out as a part of research within two PhD theses. The sample consisted of 101 teachers, out of whom 57 were primary school teachers from Serbia and 44 were secondary school teachers from Croatia. The results show that teachers from these countries have very similar perspectives on the implementation of educational standards in their respective countries. The findings are presented within three connected themes: 1) distrust in the educational administration; 2) thinking about education as a public good, and 3) standards as the ways of overcoming some shortfalls in professional identity.

Psychopathy may be related to some adaptive outcomes in the workplace environment. This phenomenon is called corporate psychopathy and it is based on the assumption that the corporate environment positively selects for psychopathic features, especially in top management. We tested the hypothesis of positive relations between psychopathy traits and workplace success indicators in the sample of 212 working adults (69% females; Mage=33.55[SD=7.38]). We measured psychopathy using the Psychopathy Personality Traits Scale (analyses were performed on two empirically extracted factors from the items of this scale, labelled as Ruthless manipulation and Lack of empathy). We explored workplace success using four variables: 1) managerial vs. operational position in the company, 2) variation in monthly salary, 3) variation in the received bonus for the previous year’s performance, and 4) self-reported success in performing job tasks. Correlation and regression analyses provided very similar results: Ruthless manipulation was more pronounced in individuals who were in managerial positions, and those who received a bonus for their performance; Lack of empathy was positively associated with the bonus and self-reported performance success. Ruthless manipulation had a positive zero-order correlation with monthly salary as well, but it did not have an independent contribution to the prediction of this criterion measure. The study results are congruent with the hypothesis that psychopathy is positively associated with various indicators of success in the workplace context. The findings can be interpreted using the concepts of corporate psychopathy and successful psychopathy in general.

The aim of the study is to examine the relationship between dyadic empathy and marital quality in formal and informal marital relationships in Serbia. The sample consisted of 738 respondents of different socioeconomic background, aged between 19 and 80, living together between 1 and 52 years (M = 8.29, SD = 9.71). The Interpersonal Reactivity Index for Couples (IRIC; Pé loquin & Lafontaine, 2010) was used to assess the cognitive and affective dimensions of dyadic empathy, and the Dyadic Adjustment Scale (DAS; Spanier, 1976, 1989) was used to measure marital quality. The latter assesses four dimensions of marital quality: Consensus, Dyadic Satisfaction, Affectional Expression and Cohesion. The results of structural modelling indicate a positive contribution of affective empathy to the assessment of spousal agreement regarding issues that are important for everyday functioning, the assessment of general satisfaction with marriage, as well as to the assessment of the degree of closeness and quality of communication between partners. Cognitive empathy positively contributes to the assessment of spousal agreement regarding issues that are important for everyday functioning, the assessment of the agreement of spouses concerning displays of affection, sexual relations, lack of love and denials of sex, as well as the assessment of the degree of closeness and quality of communication between partners.
