Od oporu do zaangażowania. Ewolucja amerykańskiego modelu samoregulacji mediów. Wnioski i perspektywy dla mediów w Polsce
The aim of this article is to analyze the evolution of American media’s attitude toward self-regulation from the recommendations presented by the Commission on Freedom of the Press (the Hutchins Commission) to the present day. The author posits that, over time, the media’s initial skepticism towards self-regulation mechanisms has transformed into a form of engagement. The research process involved content analysis of primary sources (American press from the 1940s, the Commission’s report), a systematic literature review, and data analysis from journalistic organizations. The study’s conclusions address the nature of changes in the media’s stance on self-regulation and the factors that directly led to these changes. The findings of this analysis also contribute to the broader discussion on the need to build an effective media self-regulation system in Poland.Otwarty dostępArtykułyJournal article - 2025-04-21
Do organizations based in Poland need identity leadership? Polish adaptation of the short and full form of Identity Leadership Inventory
Purpose: The study aimed to test the validity and reliability of the Polish version of the identity leadership inventory (ILI) proposed by Steffens, Haslam, Reicher et al. (2014) and to confirm the relationship between identity leadership and various job-related outcomes (i.e., trust in leaders, job satisfaction, work engagement and turnover intentions) among employees from Poland-based organizations. Identity leadership appears to be a universal construct (van Dick, Ciampa, & Liang, 2018) but no one has studied it in Poland so far. Design/methodology/approach: The sample consisted of 1078 employees collected in two independent subsamples from different organizations located in Northern and Central Poland. We evaluated the ILI’s factorial structure using confirmatory factor analysis. Findings: The results confirm that the 15-item Polish version of the ILI has a four-dimensional structure with factors representing prototypicality, advancement, entrepreneurship and impresarioship. It showed satisfactory reliability. The identity leadership inventory-short form (four items) also showed a good fit with the data. As expected, the relationships between identity leadership and important work-related outcomes (general level of job satisfaction, work engagement, trust toward the leader and turnover intentions) were also significant. Originality/value: Despite the cultural specifics of Polish organizations, the research results were generally very similar to those in other countries, confirming the universality of the ILI as shown in the Global Identity Leadership Development project (GILD, see van Dick, Ciampa, & Liang, 2018; van Dick et al., 2021).Otwarty dostępArtykułyJournal article Właściwości psychometryczne polskiej wersji Comprehensive Assessment of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy Processes (CompACT) – Kompleksowej Oceny Procesów Terapii Akceptacji i Zaangażowania (KompACT)
Objectives The aim of the study was to translate and validate the Polish version of the Comprehensive Assessment of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy Processes (CompACT). This is a self-report questionnaire used to assess psychological flexibility, including three scales: Openness to Experience, Behavioral Awareness, and Valued Action. Methods A total of 791 individuals (423 women; 53.5%) aged 18-84, participated in the study. Additional data was gathered on life-satisfaction, the level of depression, anxiety, and stress, psychological inflexibility, cognitive fusion, contact with present moment, self-perception, committed action, and valued living as the source of theoretical validity. Results The internal structure of the full 23-item version was not confirmed (analogically as in the studies on the original version), mostly due to the lower factor loading of Openness to Experience scale. The internal structure of the shorter 18-item version of the CompACT was confirmed, and a new 9-item version was proposed. Both versions exhibited good psychometric properties, incremental validity, and measurement invariance across gender. Conclusions CompACT-18 and CompACT-9 provide reliable and valid tools to measure psychological flexibility and its three components.Otwarty dostępArtykułyJournal article - 2025-04
Głosowanie klasowe w wyborach parlamentarnych 2023 roku w Polsce
The article aims to analyze the impact of class affiliation on political preferences in the 2023 parliamentary elections in Poland. We propose a modern framework for class analysis incorporating economic, social, and cultural factors. Based on the Polish National Election Study (POLNES) data, we demonstrate that social classes – working, middle, and upper – differ significantly in their political choices. The working class mainly supports Law and Justice (PiS), a party with a social program that addresses their needs. In contrast, the upper class favors the Civic Coalition (KO), a party that advocates for liberal policies aligned with their interests. We emphasize that class divisions remain a key factor in political polarization in Poland, even when other voting behavior determinants are considered. The article contributes to the literature on the impact of class stratification on politics, electoral preferences, and broader socio-political processes.Otwarty dostępArtykułyJournal article - 2025-03
Oral Sex May Serve as Low Mate Value Compensation Among Men: Evidence from a Pre-registered Study
From the evolutionary perspective, maintaining a committed relationship is beneficial for reproductive success but involves risks such as losing a partner or infidelity. People typically prefer partners with similar mate value (MV) to avoid rejection. However, when a mate value discrepancy (MVD) arises, the partner with lower MV might employ mate retention strategies to maintain the relationship. This study investigated whether men with lower MV compared to their female partners used cunnilingus more often and whether this effect was mediated by their motivation to satisfy the partner. Additionally, it tested the moderating role of men’s perceived vulnerability to disease (PVD), predicting that men less concerned about disease would show a stronger link between MVD and cunnilingus frequency, given the health risks associated with oral sex. Data from 540 men in committed heterosexual relationships confirmed that a higher MVD—where the man's MV was lower than his partner's—led to more frequent cunnilingus, and this relationship was mediated by a greater motivation to sexually satisfy the partner. However, the moderating role of PVD was not confirmed. We explore the evolutionary perspective that men may perform oral sex on their partners as a mate retention strategy. This behavior potentially serves as a benefit-provisioning mechanism, compensating for discrepancies in mate value.Otwarty dostępArtykułyJournal article
