Objectives:
The aim of the study was to verify the psychometric properties of the Polish adaptation of the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology – Therapist version (UTAUT-T) and to verify the UTAUT-T model in a group of Polish psychotherapists
Methods:
A total of 434 people aged 27-66 (M = 40.78; SD = 7.70), including 337 women and 58 men, took part in an online self-report study, which involved completing three questionnaires: UTAUT-T, the short IPIP-BFM-20 Questionnaire for measuring the Big Five, the Technology Readiness Index (TRI 2.0), as well as answers to questions about the use of digital technologies at work. The following analyses were carried out: confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), reliability analysis using Cronbach’s alpha, and theoretical validity analysis – an analysis of the correlation between the subscales of the UTAUT-T instrument and questionnaires enabling the measurement of dimensions which had been indicated in previous research results as related to the acceptance of technology.
Results:
The conducted analyses showed that the factor structure of the Polish version of UTAUT-T is the same as of the original tool, and the UTAUT-T model was confirmed in the group of Polish psychotherapists. The Cronbach’s alpha reliability coefficient for individual subscales ranged from 0.57 to 0.97. The theoretical validity analysis confirmed the expected correlations between most dimensions of technology acceptance and technology readiness. In addition, there were single very weak correlations observed between technology acceptance and personality traits.
Conclusions:
The psychometric properties of the Polish version of UTAUT-T show satisfactory values. The scale can be used to conduct further research. The UTAUT-T model can be utilized to predict the actual use of new technologies by Polish psychotherapists.
Prior research has demonstrated that adopting the market mindset hinders interpersonal trust. In the present work, we show that this effect is not universal, as trust can rise when people with the market mindset perceive the situation as resembling market-pricing principles. We start with showing that the Trust Game represents an interaction that people perceive as being more similar to market-pricing relationships rather than to communal-sharing relationships (Pilot Study; N = 114). In a series of three experiments, we then demonstrate that (1) compared to controls, participants with the market mindset make larger allocations in the Trust Game (Experiment 1; N = 131); (2) this effect is mediated by the motivation to use proportional thinking (preregistered Experiment 2; N = 581); and (3) compared to controls, people with the market mindset are more sensitive to proportions - their allocations in the Trust Game are significantly higher when multiplied by four compared to when multiplied by two (preregistered Experiment 3; N = 931).
The project, carried out by Michał Obiedziński, includes the development of a poster, leaflet, ticket and promotional elements for the exhibition entitled "Polish Man 1910-2010" organized in the Former Palace of the Bishops of Kraków in Kielce. The organizer of the exhibition was the National Museum in Kielce. Honorary patronage was held by the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage and the Marshal of the Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship. The event was supported by TVP Kultura, RMF Classic, Radio Kielce and the Zwierciadło. The poster was qualified to participate in the exhibition of the 28th Polish Poster Biennale in Katowice from 15.12.2023 to 11.02.2024.
