Wpływ narzędzi sztucznej inteligencji na samodzielność osądu adwokata. Wyzwania etyczne i poznawcze związane z automatyzacją czynności zawodowych
The article examines the impact of generative artificial intelligence tools on the autonomy of an advocate’s judgement within a decision-making model of the application of law. It contrasts the statistical nature of GenAI systems with the complexity of legal reasoning and discusses cognitive offloading and metacognitive passivity. It argues that delegating analytical tasks may weaken the advocate’s personal involvement, thus requiring stronger protection of professional independence and the client’s interests within the Code of Ethics for Advocates. - 2026-05-13
Disgust sensitivity across the menstrual cycle: evidence from pathogen and food-related measures
Disgust in response to health threats may change depending on the phase of the menstrual cycle. These cycle-related shifts are thought to result from fluctuations in progesterone and estradiol, which influence both immune activity and behavioural responses to potential source of infections. We hypothesized that hormonal changes may modulate not only pathogen aversion but also food disgust. The study involved 63 Polish women between ages 20 and 35 (M = 27.50, SD = 4.24). The survey period encompassed the luteal and follicular phases, which were confirmed by the use of ovulation tests detecting rising luteinizing hormone levels. Food disgust was measured using the Food Disgust Scale and the Food Disgust Pictures Scale, while pathogen disgust was measured using photographs of potential infection sources. Results were analysed with Student's t-test and Bayesian t-tests. The findings indicated higher pathogen disgust in the luteal phase relative to the follicular phase, although the estimated difference was small. For food disgust, effect estimates were centred close to zero and characterised by substantial uncertainty, providing limited evidence for lack of systematic variation across menstrual cycle phases. - 2026-05
Zasady korzystania z generatywnej sztucznej inteligencji w międzynarodowych i zagranicznych dokumentach dotyczących wykonywania zawodu adwokata. Wnioski dla Adwokatury Polskiej
The article analyses the principles governing the use of generative artificial intelligence in legal practice in the light of international standards. It advances the thesis that international (CCBE), French (CNB), and German (BRAK) regulations are largely consistent with the Polish principles of legal ethics. The author demonstrates that the existing rules allow for the assessment of GenAI use, and that further regulatory measures should be based on the principles of human-cen-tredness and technological neutrality. - 2025-07-30
Legal reading: the effective teaching of legal skills in the civil law system (part I) – findings from the Polish empirical study
This article is the first in a series on teaching legal reading in the Polish continental legal system. It presents research on first-year law students in Poland who participated in the first legal reading skills classes in the history of Polish legal education. The study aimed to assess the necessity of teaching legal skills in Poland and the effectiveness of the methods used. The research employed mixed methods, combining quantitative surveys and qualitative questions. Findings showed that the course was positively received by students, who valued the innovative approach and the instructors’ expertise. The data supports the idea that learning through observation, imitation and interaction within a supportive educational environment is highly effective. The study concludes that the course’s novel and innovative methods significantly enhanced student engagement. The educational environment created by the instructors was crucial to this success. The course’s continuation at SWPS University’s School of Law since 2017 demonstrates its tangible benefits. The popularity and positive outcomes highlight the need

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
Wypalenie rodzicielskie: wprowadzenie do teorii i badań
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.
