U okviru roditeljskih uloga partneri ostvaruju poseban oblik saradnje – koroditeljstvo koji je usmeren na osmišljavanje, upravljanje i realizaciju zajedničke brige o deci. Kvalitet koroditeljskog odnosa značajan je za kvalitet roditeljstva, ali za i razvoj deteta, pre svega u domenu socio-emocionalnog razvoja, bihejvioralnih i relacijskih kompetencija deteta.

U okviru srpskog govornog područja do sada nisu rađena istraživanja u oblasti koroditeljskih odnosa u prenatalnom periodu, te u skladu sa tim ne postoji adekvatan instrument procene. Uzimajući u obzir značaj istraživanja ove oblasti za razvoj teorije i prakse razvojne psihologije i psihologije porodice prepoznata je potreba za adaptacijom upitnika koji bi služio istraživačima i praktičarima. Cilj ovog rada je da se prikaže faktorska struktura i osnovne psihometrijske karakteristike adaptirane verzije instrumenta Snaga roditeljskog saveza (Parenting alliance measure, Abidin & Konold 1999) na uzorku budućih roditelja. Uzorak je činilo 342 ispitanika, odnosno 171 par koji očekuje prvo dete. Faktorskom analizom izolovana su tri faktora imenovana kao: međusobna podrška koroditelja, obostrana uključenost koroditelja i zajedničke vrednosti koroditelja. Kronbahova alfa za skalu u celini iznosi 0.95, dok za pojedinačne subskale iznosi: 0.89 za subskalu kvalitet međusobne podrške, .89 za subskalu kvalitet obostrane uključenosti roditelja i .77 za subskalu zajedničkih vrednosti koroditelja.

在养育子女的角色方面,伴侣创造了一种特殊的养育形式--共同养育,其重点是思考、管理和实现对子女的责任。共同养育关系的质量是养育质量或儿童发展的特征,特别是在儿童的社会情感发展、生物情感和关系能力方面。纵向研究表明,共同养育关系的质量在产前就能很好地预测孩子出生后的关系。U rámci srpskog govornog područja do sada nisu rađena istraživanja u oblasti koroditeljskih odnosa u prenatalnom periodu, te u skladu sa tim ne postoji adekvatan instrument procene.本文的目的是介绍在产前期对胎儿进行脑发育和心理治疗的方法,以及在产前期对胎儿进行脑发育和心理治疗的方法。本文的目的是在未来父母的层面上介绍《养育联盟测量》(Abidin & Konold,1999 年)改编版的因子结构和基本心理测量特征。样本包括 342 对配偶和 171 对准备生育第一个孩子的夫妇。因子分析分离出三个因子,分别称为:相关因子的相互依存相关性、相关因子的双方以及相关因子的个体值。全国量表的 Cronbach's alpha 值为 0.95,而单个子量表的 Cronbach's alpha 值分别为:跨种族子量表的质量为 0.89,父母共同参与的质量为 0.89,相关者个人价值的质量为 0.77。改编后的工具显示出良好的度量特征,是产前离婚比例的良好代表工具。

The human experience of art is unique, being associated with exceptional and transcendent states of consciousness. These experiences are formed based on the interaction between the work of art itself, the observer, and the context. Using the multilevel modelling with crossed random effects analysis, we explored the connection between the affective and cognitive appraisals of a visual work of art and the aesthetic judgment. Two experiments were performed. In the first, lay persons appraised figural paintings with pleasant and unpleasant content. In the second experiment, abstract and realistic paintings were appraised. The results indicate a strong connection between affective appraisal and the aesthetic judgment, especially with the assessment of beauty. Cognitive appraisals are less closely connected to aesthetic appraisals. These results suggest that naive observers use everyday, practical perception when evaluating works of art, and that paintings which evoke "sweet", pleasant, hedonic emotions will be assessed as more aesthetically pleasing. The deviation of a painting from traditional art canons further strengthens the reliance on everyday perception in lay persons. The implications of these results are discussed.

The Disintegration trait (i.e., proneness to psychotic-like experiences and behaviors) was recently proposed as the basic personality trait that supplements the space of individual differences framed by well-known Big Five and HEXACO models. In this research, we provided additional evidence of the unique contribution of Disintegration in predicting the individual differences in some outcomes whose relations with this trait are mainly unexplored. In the first study (N = 300), we employed a 20-item measure of Disintegration (DELTA-20), a short form of the Big Five Inventory (BFI-10), alcohol and drug use disorders identification tests (AUDIT, DUDIT), and Flanagan's Quality of Life Scale (QoLS). The results showed that Disintegration predicts higher levels of problem alcohol and drug use, and lower quality of life, over and above the Big Five traits, thus increasing the proportion of explained variance by 3% and 1%, respectively. In the second study (N = 537), we used a 10-item measure of Disintegration (DELTA-10), a 60-item form of HEXACO, and a Serbian version of the Modified and Revised Experiences in Close Relationship scale (SM-ECR-R). The results showed that Disintegration predicts higher levels of avoidance and anxiety in close relationships over and above HEXACO traits, with an incremental contribution in the explained variance of 2% and 11%, respectively. In sum, our findings suggested that the Disintegration trait, assessed by either the shorter or longer measure, accounts for unique variance in individual, wellbeing-related outcomes, and dyadic functioning-related outcomes. The limitations and future directions are discussed.

Interventions based on the goal-setting theory include a goal-setting situation and provision of different variations of feedback. Previous studies did not compare the impact of different goal-setting interventions on young athletes' performance. This preliminary work aimed to examine the effectiveness of two interventions, goal-setting with private monitoring and goal-setting with public posting. In the study, young swimmers (N = 42) were assigned to a public monitoring condition, a private monitoring condition, and a control condition. A difference was found in the attendance of training sessions, with the public posting group being superior to other groups. Controlling for baseline performance, participants in the public posting condition performed better than control participants. Public posting created conditions in which it was easier to accept set goals as focal and put greater effort into their attainment. The results contribute to a better understanding of how goal monitoring motivates behavior and performance.

A key driver of workplace cognitive competencies is metacognition which has been shown to impact performance among nurses, teachers and firefighters, however, it is scarcely studied among managerial employees. The research investigating this relationship is also scattered across multiple domains limiting its’ utility for researchers and practitioners. This paper, therefore, presents an integrative review of the existing empirical literature from the Web of Science and Scopus database to trace the linkages of metacognition, workplace cognitive competencies and performance at work. The identified linkages are then formulated into a conceptual framework clarifying how various workplace cognitive competencies and performance may be linked to metacognition. The findings indicate linkages between metacognition and various workplace cognitive competencies such as problem-solving, decision-making, innovation, creativity and knowledge acquisition. The present research also establishes the link of metacognition and cognitive competencies with learning, individual and firm performance. The review paves way for metacognition to be considered as a distinct construct in the workplace, identifies gaps and provides direction for future research.
工作场所认知能力的一个关键驱动因素是元认知,它已被证明会影响护士、教师和消防员的表现,然而,对管理人员的研究却很少。调查这种关系的研究也分散在多个领域,限制了其对研究人员和实践者的效用。因此,本文对来自Web of Science和Scopus数据库的现有实证文献进行了综合回顾,以追踪元认知、工作场所认知能力和工作表现之间的联系。然后将确定的联系制定为一个概念框架,澄清各种工作场所认知能力和表现如何与元认知联系起来。研究结果表明,元认知与各种职场认知能力(如解决问题、决策、创新、创造力和知识获取)之间存在联系。本研究还建立了元认知和认知能力与学习、个人和企业绩效之间的联系。该综述为元认知在工作场所被视为一种独特的结构铺平了道路,确定了差距,并为未来的研究提供了方向。

The 50-item International Personality Item Pool version of the Big Five Markers (IPIP-BFM) is an open-source and widely used measure of the big five personality traits. A short version of this measure (IPIP-BFM-25) has been developed using the classical test theory approach. No study was performed to examine the psychometric properties of a longer and shorter version of IPIP-BFM Indonesia using modern test theory. This study aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Indonesian version of IPIP-BFM as well as IPIP-BFM-25 using Rasch analysis. The analysis was conducted in order to test their dimensionality, rating scale functioning, item properties, person responses, targeting, reliability, and item bias on 1003 Indonesian samples. The findings showed that both IPIP-BFM and IPIP-BFM-25 Indonesia have some adequate psychometric properties, especially regarding category function, item properties, reliability, and item bias. However, the emotional stability and intellect scales did not meet the assumption of unidimensionality, and all items on the scales were too easy to endorse by participants. In general, longer measures outperformed shorter measures in terms of person separation and reliability. Further testing and refinement must be conducted.

The interest in the so-called dark traits in the area of individual differences is rising, and there are several instruments assessing currently the most prominent dark traits constellation, the Dark Tetrad. The first aim of this study was to examine the structure of the newly developed Short Dark Tetrad (SD4) measure in the Croatian context using latent variable modeling and testing two competing models: the confirmatory factor analytic model with four interrelated factors where items load only on their respective trait or factor, and the bifactor model with both the general “dark” factor where all the items load on and four specific orthogonal factors on which only their respective items load. The second aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between the Dark Tetrad traits and egoistic and moralistic socially desirable responding. Data were collected on a convenience sample of 439 participants (81% female) in Croatia. The results showed that, although some of the fit statistics of both tested models fell somewhat below the conventional acceptable fit threshold, their values were comparable to those from the original validation study, indicating that the Croatian version of SD4 is valid and can be used to assess the Dark Tetrad traits. Moreover, relations between the Dark Tetrad traits and egoistic and moralistic socially desirable responding point to the distinctiveness of narcissism from the rest of the Dark Tetrad.

This study aimed to investigate the psychological functioning of athletes in Serbia during the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. We investigated the relationships of different coping strategies (problem-focused, emotion-focused, and avoidant coping), intolerance of uncertainty, and perceived levels of depression, anxiety, and stress. A total of 117 athletes took part in this study (62.40% male, average age 29.95). The results showed that the use of avoidant coping and problem-focused strategies were associated with poorer indicators of mental health. Furthermore, intolerance of uncertainty had both direct and indirect (via avoidant coping strategies) effects on experienced levels of depression, anxiety, and stress.

The main aim of this study was to test the the convergent, discriminant, and criterion validity of the Serbian adaptations of three Machiavellianism instruments (Mach-IV, Machiavellian Personality Scale - MPS, and Five Factor Machiavellianism Inventory - FFMI) based on their relations with HEXACO traits, distress aspects (anxiety, depression, and stress), and emotion regulation strategies (supression and reapraisal). The sample included 195 participants (80% women). The results showed that the Mach-IV and the MPS are mutually more similar to each other and their main negative correlate is Honesty-Humility, while the FFMI appears as distant from the other instruments and its main positive correlates are Extraversion and Conscientiousness and a negative one is Emotionality. Furthermore, the Mach-IV and MPS showed positive relations with distress aspects and non-adaptive emotion regulation (supression), while the FFMI showed opposite patterns of relations. Since the FFMI captures the most items and facets, it explained the most variance of distress and regulation strategies, but the Mach-IV and the MPS, especially its amorality facet, showed significant incremental contribution in explanation of anxiety, stress, and suppression. The implications of the use of each of the three instruments are discussed.

The implications of the use of each of the three instruments are discussed.","PeriodicalId":43074,"journal":{"name":"Primenjena Psihologija","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-11-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47588182","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
This research aimed to clarify the role of the perceptual richness of words (PR) in the recall tasks. PR was operationalized as the number of sensory modalities through which an object can be perceived. Previously, we found that concepts experienced with many modalities (dog) were recalled more accurately in cued recall than those perceived with few modalities (rainbow) and abstract words. This finding fitted the Perceptual symbol system theory (PSST) and the Dual coding theory (DCT) predictions. We tested the PR effect in both cued (experiment 1- E1) and free recall tasks (experiment 2 – E2) in the present study. With careful stimuli manipulation of context availability and emotional valence and statistical control of arousal and relatedness, made to exclude their influence on recall, we tested alternative explanations of the concreteness effect offered by the relational-distinctiveness hypothesis. The additional perceptual codes improved recall accuracy in the cued recall task (E1), which was in line with the PSST and the DCT. This conclusion is straightforward: two critical groups of concrete words were matched for concreteness and visual perceptual strength. Thus, more accurate recall of concepts experienced with many modalities can be attributed to richer perceptual experience. However, the relational information was essential for recall accuracy in the free recall task (E2), as hypothesized by the relational-distinctiveness hypothesis.
