    Freedom of Association: The Case of Poland

    Cyuńczyk, Filip
    The role of this chapter is to show the specifics of freedom of association in Poland. Therefore, in addition to analysing the normative layer, it includes references to the historical state of the law and the practice of interpreting and operationalising this freedom. Through the presentation of legal provisions, I wish to show the local (“domestic”) specificity and situate it in the broader context of the system of constitutional liberal democracy embodied by the 1997 Constitution currently in force in Poland. The operationalisation of freedom of association will be presented on the basis of selected institutions of three particularly relevant statutes: the Law on Associations, the Act on Political Parties and the Act on Trade Unions.

    Intelektualistka publiczna wobec patriarchalnego neoliberalizmu. Esej dla Ingi Iwasiów

    Majewska, Ewa

    Krupiński, Piotr Marcin
    Inga Iwasiów jest dla mnie przede wszystkim akademiczką zaangażowaną, autorką świetnej książki Gender dla średnio zaawansowanych. Wykładów szczecińskich, wykładowczynią i nauczycielką oraz felietonistką i działaczką. Wszystko to składa się na bardzo w Polsce rzadkie zjawisko: intelektualistkę publiczną. Niniejszy tekst jest hołdem złożonym Indze właśnie za to, że ma polot, śmiałość i odwagę występować w tej roli oraz że robi to skutecznie. Nie oznacza to bynajmniej, że inne role i funkcje, jakie sprawuje, tudzież publikacje, których tu nie wymieniam – jak choćby powieści – nie są dla mnie ważne. Są. Ale przede wszystkim jako część bycia intelektualistką publiczną, które mi tak szalenie imponuje.

    Głosowanie klasowe w wyborach parlamentarnych 2023 roku w Polsce

    Cześnik, Mikołaj
    Szczupska, Oliwia
    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.

    Oral Sex May Serve as Low Mate Value Compensation Among Men: Evidence from a Pre-registered Study

    Frankowska, Natalia
    Szymków-Sudziarska, Aleksandra
    Galbarczyk, Andrzej
    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.

    Processing of self-related thoughts in experienced users of classic psychedelics: A source localisation EEG study

    Background: Psychedelics have gained increasing interest in scientific research due to their ability to induce profound alterations in perception, emotional processing and self-consciousness. However, the research regarding the functioning of individuals who use psychedelics in naturalistic contexts remains limited. Aims: Here we aim to explore psychological and neurophysiological differences between naturalistic psychedelics users and non-users in terms of processing of self-related thoughts. Methods: We use behavioural testing combined with electroencephalography (EEG) with source localisation. To mitigate potential confounding effects of personality traits and personal history which makes one willing to take psychedelics, we compared users to individuals who did not take psychedelics, but are intending to do so in the future. To ensure robustness of our results, we included two datasets collected at two different laboratories. Results: The results from Dataset I (N = 70) suggest that during self-related thoughts psychedelics users exhibit weaker increases in alpha and beta power in comparison to non-users, primarily in brain regions linked to processing of self-related information and memory (such as posterior cingulate cortex). However, analysis of Dataset II (N = 38) did not replicate the between-group effects, possibly due to the smaller sample size and spatial resolution limitations. Conclusions: While non-replicability restricts interpretation of our findings, our research expands the ongoing discussion on strength and duration of the psychedelic effects, specifically in brain circuits associated with self-related processing, and its relationship to well-being. Our results fit into growing scepticism about the specificity of the role of default-mode network hubs in changes associated with psychedelics experience.
