Rola rocznej rozmowy oceniającej w budowaniu zrównoważonej pracy. Perspektywa pracownika
The concept of sustainable work touches on a number of aspects of an employee’s role within an organization. One of these is employee development, which is based on feedback regarding their strengths and weaknesses. This function is fulfi lled by the performance review. The research was both qualitative and quantitative in nature. The quantitative part was conducted on a sample of 186 respondents using a proprietary questionnaire containing 13 closed-ended questions. Additionally, for employees, a qualitative analysis was performed on the text of their responses to a single open-ended question included in the questionnaire. The results indicate that annual reviews conducted in a collaborative manner can be a signifi cant element of sustainable work. To fully leverage their potential, it is essential to better prepare employees to participate in the reviews and the entire evaluation process, as well as to strengthen the competencies of management in supporting employee career development within the organization. - 2022-07-01
Utwór cyfrowy "Makeshift"
The digital work "Makeshift" by Paweł Starzec, Krzysztof Pijarski, and Michał Szota was created in 2020 based on Paweł Starzec documentary series "Makeshift," realized between 2013 and 2020. The work was created in collaboration with vnLab of the Łódź Film School and Television and was presented during the "New Visual Narratives 2022" event in Łódź (July 1, 2022) along with an accompanying exhibition of photos from the project, and then during the "Ground Control" exhibition in Venice (2023), organized by vnLab and funded by the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage under the Creative Sectors Development Program. Makeshift is a project dedicated to rewriting history in Bosnia and Herzegovina, focusing on the mass atrocities of the Bosnian War, the places where they occurred, and their erased context. - 2024-09-20
Cykl zdjęć "Makeshift"
"Makeshift" is a project dedicated to rewriting history in Bosnia and Herzegovina, focusing on the mass atrocities of the Bosnian War, the places where they occurred, and their erased context. History is a collective narrative, and therefore has the capacity to rewrite, omitting what was meant to be forgotten. Given that a significant portion of the events of the 1992-1995 Bosnian War were obscured by new historical narratives aimed at preserving the integrity of the newly formed society of divided ethnic groups, it is crucial to analyze this conflict, its causes, and its consequences. The series was presented to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Encontros da Imagem photography festival in Braga, Portugal. The exhibition was curated by Vitor Nieves. The exhibition took place at the University of Minho's School of Meditation from September 20 to November 3, 2024. "Makeshift" has previously been exhibited by Encontros da Imagem; several works from the series are in the Foundation's collection, and in 2017 the project won the festival's Discovery Award. In 2025, Paweł Starzec won a Hasselblad Foundation Photo Book Grant for his "Makeshift" project, which will see a book based on the project published in 2026 in collaboration with Sun Archive. - 2025-11-23
Is 'Better' Always Better? Cognitive Performance in Children with Misophonia vs. Controls
Misophonia is a disorder characterized by adverse reactions to specific repetitive sounds, such as oral and nasal noises made by humans (e.g., chewing, sniffing) and environmental sounds (e.g., animal licking, tapping). These reactions can manifest early in life and involve the nervous, autonomic, and perceptual systems. Cognitive functions appear to play a key role in how these stimuli are processed in individuals with misophonia. or tapping. Although it is associated with various psychiatric disorders, it also presents distinct clinical features that suggest alterations in cognitive processing, particularly selective attention and inhibitory control. However, research on cognitive processes in situations without exposure to trigger sounds in individuals with misophonia, especially children, remains limited. Given that misophonia typically begins in childhood or adolescence, understanding its early cognitive profile is crucial. This study investigated cold cognitive processes, including inhibitory control, selective and divided attention, along with verbal and abstract reasoning, using performance-based tests in children with misophonia (n = 32) and controls without sound-related issues (n = 30), aged 7–17. Children with misophonia outperformed controls in divided attention (p < .001) and inhibitory control (p < .001), with no differences in other cognitive domains. Logistic regression showed that better inhibitory control increased the likelihood of misophonia, while linear regression indicated that misophonia status and selective attention predicted better inhibitory control. These results suggest that misophonia in children is related to enhanced inhibitory control rather than deficits in cognitive functioning. A better understanding of these cognitive processes could be an important step toward understanding the nature of misophonia, especially in pediatric populations. - 2025-10-20

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 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.
