"Dobry protokół" przesłuchania w sprawie karnej - zasady, wymogi, standardy
Numerous scholarly works have examined the course and execution of criminal procedural and forensic activities related to interrogation. The way this activity is carried out is discussed in textbooks on forensic science and is also addressed during workshop classes and lecture courses in criminal procedure. The importance of proper and reliable documentation of proced-ural activities cannot be overstated. This activity is examined both at the stage of court proceedings and during the preparatory phase, often accom-panied by subsequent allegations that the record was prepared in an unreli-able manner, does not reflect the actual factual situation, is defective, or is false. Allegations are also raised directly against the officer conducting the activity, accusing them of bias or of having an interest in a particular out-come, as well as concerning the atmosphere in which the interrogation was conducted. The findings presented in this article constitute a continuation (in the form of a separate text) of the Author’s reflections developed over the years and represent their considerations, conclusions, and observations. In the theoretical and research assumptions, emphasis has been placed on guidelines and appropriate elements relating to the drafting of records, which should form the framework for deliberations by those conducting this activity. The postulates, assumptions, and recommendations are accompanied by commentary and by indications of possible procedural errors and their impact on the course of proceedings. The article includes examples that are useful in the practical documentation of interrogations concerning eviden-tiary issues, as well as the practice of their application. Nevertheless, atten-tion should be paid to elements of the text as constituting guidelines rather than certainties, since every interrogation is different, both in terms of the person being questioned and the scope of the act to which it relates. For this reason, the application of automatic or schematic approaches during an in-terrogation is not possible. - 2026-04-13
Does Peer Review Need to Change? A Panel on Reporting Standards and Checklists in the Age of AI
Many scientific fields of study use formally established reportingstandards to foster research and experimental design, transparency,replicability, peer review, and student training. Examples includeCONSORT in medicine, the What Works Clearinghouse in educa-tion, JARS in psychology. Such standards yield agreement on studyreporting and evaluation, even if using different methodologies.CHI has not adopted reporting standards. Like other fields, CHI hasseen an increased number of low-quality submissions and reviewsfueled by AI. This panel’s objective is to discuss advantages and bar-riers of adopting reporting standards for SIGCHI. Panelists includerepresentatives with significant experience creating, adopting andoperationalizing reporting standards in adjacent fields: softwareengineering, CS education, and Programming Languages. The panelwill include an overview of the history of reporting standards, a livedemo of a standards-based peer review system, discussions of op-portunities, challenges, limitations for SIGCHI reporting standards,and an interactive discussion between attendees and panelists - 2026
Are legal professionals more knowledgeable about eyewitness testimony factors than the general public? A survey of judges, prosecutors, and laypeople
This study investigates legal professionals’ knowledge of eyewitness testimony factors, including system and estimator factors, compared to laypeople. Previous research has questioned the adequacy of methods assessing legal actors’ understanding. To address this, 313 legal professionals and 400 laypeople completed a 21-item questionnaire embedded in case-specific scenarios using vignette methodology. Legal professionals achieved an accuracy rate of 66%, compared to 60.3% for laypeople. They more accurately identified estimator factors than system factors, with judges and prosecutors performing better than laypeople in both categories. These results reveal significant variations in knowledge of eyewitness testimony and underscore the need for targeted training programs. Enhancing legal professionals’ understanding of eyewitness factors could contribute to fairer and more accurate judicial outcomes. - 2025
Towards co-created, sustainable archives - experiences from the Grassroots of Digital Europe project
Born-digital cultural heritage is an extremely broad category. However, there is no doubt that much of it includes activities that were created on the margins of the art world. Both the content itself, such as amateur games or demoscene productions, but also the efforts to archive them, are in effect often the work of amateur enthusiasts - dispersed groups that do invaluable work but at the same time do not meet institutional and academic standards, and often remain in tension with copyright law. In an era of increasing institutionalisation of digital heritage, how do we reconcile the expectations of all parties involved? Can the arrangement of this cooperation enable the rationalisation of resource management and facilitate similar activities in the future? The article focuses on experiences from the COST Grassroots of Digital Europe project, in which we are trying to build a ‘network of networks’, connecting academics, GLAM institutions and enthusiasts, and providing all stakeholders with materials to support their work. Examples of good practices will be presented, but there will also be remarks on the difficulties and challenges of such an approach.

Psychologia społeczna. Wydanie drugie zaktualizowane
Nowa wersja podręcznika Psychologia społeczna ukazuje się w 14 lat po jego pierwszej edycji. Później było wiele wydań, bo podręcznik zyskał powszechne uznanie wykładowców i studentów. To wydanie jednak zasadniczo różni się od poprzednich. Współautorem został Tomasz Grzyb. W tomie przybyło wiele nowych fragmentów, niektóre kwestie zaktualizowano bądź opatrzono dodatkowymi komentarzami, odwołując się do świeżej literatury. Przede wszystkim zmienił się świat dookoła nas, pojawiły się nowe zjawiska, jak na przykład światowa pandemia COVID-19 i wraz z tym potrzeba odniesienia się do jej psychologicznych konsekwencji, a o wielu zjawiskach, którymi zajmuje się psychologia społeczna wiemy dziś więcej niż kilkanaście lat temu. Nie pozostało to bez wpływu na sam podręcznik – jego nowa, zmodyfikowana i przeredagowana treść lepiej oddaje charakter zmieniającej się, choć ciągle tak samo fascynującej dziedziny, jaką jest psychologia społeczna. Profesorowie Bogdan Wojciszke i Tomasz Grzyb, psychologowie o światowej renomie, napisali podręcznik do psychologii społecznej, jakiego jeszcze w Polsce nie było. Książka obejmuje wszystkie klasyczne zagadnienia składające się na tę dyscyplinę oraz zagadnienia relatywnie nowe, takie jak kwestie różnic płci, nowych mediów, społeczeństwa sieci, miłości i władzy. Napisana jasnym i barwnym językiem skupia się na prawidłowościach rządzących ludzką psychiką i postępowaniem. Pokazuje, w jak fascynujący sposób psychologia społeczna odpowiada na pytanie, kim jest człowiek i na czym polega jego społeczna natura. Wcześniejsze wydania tej książki stały się fundamentem dydaktyki akademickiej na kierunku psychologia. - 2025-08-11
What Puppygirls Know? The (in)Human Pedagogy of a Trans Feminine Style
‘Puppygirls’ is a name for a particular kinky trans feminine lesbian style, rooted in the long history of trans erotic productions, and currently thriving on social media platforms, such as Twitter (now X), Bluesky, or Discord. In this article, I provide an analysis of the style that is rooted in personal immersion in ‘puppygirl culture’. Using several examples of puppygirl media productions, I argue for the possibility of reading the puppygirl style as a critical practice: one that hints at ways of being trans that do rely on the ciscentric understanding of ‘the human’ as their point of reference. In doing so, I show how puppygirl style resonates with theoretical interventions in the field of trans studies offered by scholars such as Susan Stryker and Talia Mae Bettcher. - 2023

The aim of the article is to present the concept of parental burnout, which has recently become a topic of interest for researchers. In the article, we review the theoretical concept of parental burnout, present the questionnaires to measure it as well as the research results indicating risk factors and consequences of parental burnout, and the first studies on the effectiveness of psychological interventions to reduce it. This article presents information in a concise, simple and understandable way, providing readers with a quick overview of the theory of parental burnout and the latest research on this phenomenon. - 2024-06
The Big Three Perfectionism Scale: Validation of the Polish Version
The Big Three Perfectionism Scale (BTPS) was created to integrate different aspects of perfectionism, including the newly conceptualized concept of narcissistic perfectionism. The goal of our two studies (N = 1341) was to examine the psychometric properties of the Polish adaptation of the BTPS, supporting the validity and portability of the measure. The studies were conducted among people who had a child, thus contributing to a better understanding of parental perfectionism, one of the key factors influencing parental well-being and a child’s functioning. Our analyses included investigating the structure of the scale, intercorrelations between subscales, reliability, and convergent validity by correlating BTPS scores with other measures of perfectionism and correlates of psychopathology (borderline symptoms) and parental difficulties (parental stress and parental burnout). Results supported the structure of the original BTPS. As predicted, confirmatory factor analysis indicated that items comprising the Polish adaptation of the questionnaire, like the original version, measure three related but specific aspects of perfectionism: rigid perfectionism, self-critical perfectionism, and narcissistic perfectionism. The three dimensions were also found to be specifically related to the difficulties experienced by parents. Further, the Polish version of the BTPS was found to have good internal reliability and validity. Our results from two independent Polish samples suggest that the Polish version of the BTPS is a psychometrically robust measure of perfectionism for assessing the three perfectionism factors.
