Adaptation and validation of the Intrinsic Motivation Inventory (IMI) in Polish
Introduction: The aim of this study was to adapt the full 45-item, seven-subscale Intrinsic Motivation Inventory (IMI) into Polish and evaluate its psychometric properties, including cross-language measurement invariance in Polish–English bilinguals. Methods: Two independent online samples were pooled (N = 275), with participants completing the IMI in both Polish and English. Reliability (α, ω), cross-language correlations, and confirmatory factor analyses (CFA; WLSMV/THETA) were conducted, while language invariance was tested using a CT-C(M–1) framework comparing marker-configural and strict metric models. Convergent and divergent validity were assessed through associations with external constructs related to motivation, control, curiosity, and stress appraisal. Results: CFA supported the expected seven-factor structure in both languages with good model fit, and language invariance analysis indicated minimal configural–metric differences, suggesting approximate measurement invariance. The Polish IMI demonstrated strong internal consistency across all subscales, closely matching the English version, while cross-language correlations confirmed strong subscale-level equivalence, though a small number of items showed weaker psychometric properties. Subscale intercorrelations followed theoretical expectations, supporting construct validity, with subscales reflecting engagement, autonomy, and competence aligning most strongly with positive motivational constructs. Overall, the Polish IMI is suitable for research in Polish, with all materials, data, and analysis code openly available.Otwarty dostępArtykułyJournal article - 2026-01
Potencjał AI w zwiększaniu zaangażowania studentów i wiarygodności informacji zwrotnej w ewaluacji zajęć akademickich
The aim of this article is to develop and validate the AI-MEVAL Model, which integrates multi-stakeholder evaluation with the AI Feedback Loop, in order to enhance the reliability of feedback. Qualitative research confirms that the model shortens the PDCA cycle, provided that transparency and the Human-in-the-Loop principle are maintained. It constitutes a practical tool supporting organisational learning.Otwarty dostępArtykułyJournal article - 2026-06
Behaviour change techniques used in effective interventions, promoting physical activity, healthy nutrition, and healthy body mass among women with breast cancer and breast cancer survivors: a meta-review
Aims This study examines behaviour change techniques (BCTs) used in interventions delivered to women with breast cancer or survivors of breast cancer. We aimed to identify BCTs that are consistently used in interventions, particularly those supported by evidence across three outcomes: nutrition behaviour, physical activity, and body weight. Methods A meta-review (preregistered in PROSPERO; #CRD42024521376) was conducted, integrating evidence from systematic, scoping, and pragmatic reviews. Ten databases were searched using ASReviews software and manual searches; 37 reviews were included. The ROBIS tool was applied to assess the bias risk. BCTs were considered supported if ≥3 reviews provided evidence of their effectiveness, with ≥60% of original studies showing a significant improvement in respective outcomes. Results Analyses indicated that 24 BCTs influenced either single or combined behaviours. In the case of 14 out of these 24 BCTs, existing evidence supported effectiveness for one outcome only: physical activity. Six techniques were effective across all outcomes (healthy nutrition, physical activity, and healthy body mass): goal setting, problem solving, action planning, reviewing goals, social rewards, and positive self-talk. Discussion The findings may guide the development of interventions targeting complex, multi-behaviour changes among women with breast cancer and survivors of breast cancer.Otwarty dostępArtykułyJournal article - 2026-06-04
A Kick to Desire: National Teams’ Performance During the UEFA EURO 2024 Affected the Frequency With Which Europeans Experienced Sexual Events
Weber, MarcelFriese, MalteEscher, Yannik A.Petrowsky, Hannes M.Boecker, LeaDiel, KathiNeumann, MeikelOomen, DannaStrauch, AnnikGenschow, OliverLoschelder, David D.Major sporting events exert manifold influences on people’s intra- and interpersonal experiences. Preliminary findings suggest that they affect sexuality, but the evidence has been limited to population-level outcomes such as birth rates. Direct, individual-level evidence and research on underlying processes are missing. In this preregistered study, we investigated the relationship between the success of national men’s soccer teams during the UEFA EURO 2024 tournament and the frequency of sexual events in daily life, with match results serving as natural within-person, quasi-experimental manipulations. Participants from five European countries (N = 952, k = 3,627 reports) reported more cognitive, affective, and behavioral sexual events following their national teams’ wins (vs. losses). These effects were particularly pronounced among participants who identified more strongly as fans and were partly explained by higher well-being after wins. We discuss the far-reaching impact of sporting events on sexuality in daily life and future research directions.Otwarty dostępArtykułyJournal article - 2026-06-09
What does it mean to be multicultural? Exploring the perspectives of international graduates of English-language management programs in Poland
Purpose - This study explores the meaning of being multicultural among international graduates of English-language management programs in Poland. Additionally, it examines how these individuals perceive the opportunities and challenges their multicultural identity brings to their professional lives. Design/methodology/approach – Eleven participants took part in two waves of semi-structured interviews, conducted two years apart, during which they created cultural identity maps as part of a reflexive interview exercise focused on their multiple cultural identities. Findings - Most participants identified as bicultural or multicultural, though they differed in how certain they were about being multicultural and how they interpreted its meaning. Some strongly embraced their multicultural identity, while others viewed it as a dynamic process shaped by their environment and life experiences. Moreover, interviewees predominantly viewed their multicultural identity as beneficial in professional settings, highlighting enhanced adaptability, improved communication skills, and advantages in cross-cultural business interactions. Several graduates demonstrated cultural variability, consciously adjusting aspects of their cultural identities depending on the context, which served as a professional asset. However, some participants faced challenges related to adaptation or issues tied to gender and religion. Originality/value – These findings suggest that multicultural identity can serve as a strategic toolkit in professional settings, empowering individuals to navigate diverse workplace environments. However, its expression may be shaped by various social factors and organizational contexts. Practical implications - The study offers recommendations for educational institutions to developmulticultural competencies and for organizations to create enabling conditions that leverage the unique capabilities of multicultural employees.Otwarty dostępArtykułyJournal article
