Normativity and Resilience in Translation and Culture
This book addresses the dynamics of normativity and resilience through the lens of translation. Engaging with both domestic and foreign cultural, social, economic, and ethical frameworks, the act of translation emerges as a dual force: it uncovers subtle and implicit pressures that encourage adherence to the dominant norm and has the capacity to question, disrupt or even subvert this norm. The concept of resilience, considered in its multifaceted roles as an aspect of the norm, as a means to withstand normative pressures, and as a normative demand in itself, further complicates the relationship between individual agency, systemic constraints, and collective expectations. Essays in this book explore how translation not only reflects but also contests the dynamics of power and identity within the fabric of societal and cultural norms. - 2025
Errorful learning of trivia questions and answers: The role of study time
Errorful learning—asking questions and forcing responding even before the correct answers are presented for study—has recently been proposed as a way of maximizing the effectiveness of study. However, much support for the superiority of errorful learning over standard learning via reading comes from studies employing pairs of words as study materials, which remain of little educational relevance. Studies using materials affording richer semantic processing, such as trivia questions and their answers, have shown benefits of errorful learning only when the errorful learning condition is granted additional time for formulating guesses. In the present study, we systematically examined the role of timing when comparing errorful learning and reading strategies applied to study of trivia questions and their answers. In Experiments 1 and 2, we obtained evidence for the superiority of errorful learning over reading when additional time was given to formulate guesses, but this superiority was abolished when the overall time to study was equated between the two learning strategies. We further examined the role of answer familiarity in Experiment 3, showing that incorrect guessing produced no benefit for learning regardless of whether the to-be-learned concepts were familiar or not. In Experiments 4 and 5, no benefits of errorful learning emerged when participants were required to guess responses to two different questions that shared a common set of possible answers. We conclude that the benefits of errorful learning for trivia questions emerge only when guessing gives more time to process target questions. - 2025
Comparing obedience and efficiency in tedious task performance under human and humanoid robot supervision
This study examines the dynamics of obedience and power in the context of interactions between humans and robots at work. We replicated and extended the previous studies by comparing the responses of participants to a humanoid robot, which acts as an authoritative figure, against those to a human in a similar role. Although the humanoid robot commanded a significant level of obedience (63%), it was notably lower than that of its human counterpart (75%). Moreover, the work under the supervision of the robot was performed more slowly and less effectively. The results provide a good insight into the practical implications of using humanoid robots in official roles, especially for repeated and tedious tasks or challenging work activities. - 2025-01-15
MESS to live with schizophrenic parental history: A systematic review of developmental checkpoints
Parental history of schizophrenia, a complex and multifaceted psychological disorder, is recognized as a well-established risk factor in the development of the disorder among offspring. However, the developmental patterns of such children and adolescents before the onset of the problem have not yet been systematically documented. We present a comprehensive account of developmental checkpoints essential for preventing it from occurring. This review embarks on a detailed explanation of the domains requiring serious attention during the development of an individual with such a familial history. We examined a diversified set of studies comparing the developmental patterns of children with or without (a comparative) a parental history of schizophrenia and highlighted the areas of concern for the later development of the problem among the first group. We included the peer-reviewed articles, published in English based on children and adolescents, found in Web of Science, PubMed, and PsychInfo databases and separate citation searches. We summarized our findings under MESS typology covering motor development, emotional and behavioral issues, speech and hearing impairments, and socio-cognitive aspects as essential features of a child’s development serving as a guide to prevent the onset of psychological complications. - 2025-01-17
Profilaktyka, diagnoza i terapia e-uzależnień wśród dzieci i młodzieży. Praktyczny podręcznik dla specjalistów pracy z dziećmi i ich rodzinami
Żyjemy na przełomie epoki analogowej i cyfrowej. Ewolucję społeczeństwa w kierunku bardziej technologicznego zapoczątkowało wynalezienie, a następ- nie wprowadzenie do powszechnego użytku komputerów oraz globalnej sieci wymiany danych – Internetu. Przez ponad 80 lat postęp cyfrowy sukcesywnie zwiększał udział nowych technologii w codziennym życiu, spełniając swoją pierwotną funkcję poprawy jego jakości, zaś tempo tego postępu zaczęło różnicować kraje i regiony świata na bardziej i mniej rozwinięte. Podobnie szybko wzrastała społeczna tolerancja na zmiany technologiczne, czego do- brym przykładem jest sztuczna inteligencja (artificial intelligence, AI), która jeszcze dekadę temu była hipotetyczną koncepcją budzącą głównie społeczne obawy, a dziś wchodzi do powszechnej świadomości jako nowe narzędzie usprawniania pracy i edukacji, kolejny impuls do jeszcze szybszej digitalizacji społeczeństwa, ale również jako etyczny dylemat. Obok sukcesywnie postępującej od lat ewolucji myśli technologicznej jako globalne społeczeństwo zostaliśmy doświadczeni traumą pandemii, która nie tylko wystawiła na próbę odporność naszego zdrowia i systemów zarządza- nia, ale doprowadziła do gwałtownego przeskoku rewolucyjnego, dosłownie wymuszając na jednostkach i grupach przeniesienie większości aktywności do przestrzeni wirtualnej. Wraz z tą zmianą powstała potrzeba błyskawicznego dostosowania infrastruktury zawodowej, edukacyjnej, produkcyjnej i usługowej, oraz natychmiastowego wzrostu kompetencji cyfrowych wśród dzieci, młodzieży i niemal wszystkich grup zawodowych osób dorosłych. W post-pandemicznej rzeczywistości, dalsza cyfryzacja społeczeństwa stanowi jeden z priorytetowych planów rozwoju większości gospodarek świata, w tym Polski. Należy zatem oczekiwać, że nowe technologie będą dynamicznie rozwijane w kolejnych latach, kontynuując transformację środowiska życia ludzi w szybko digitalizującym się społeczeństwie. Współczesne dzieci, nastolatkowie i młodzi dorośli to cyfrowi tubylcy (nazywani też generacją i-Gen). Urodzeni w XXI wieku czasy pozbawione stałego dostępu do Internetu znają bardziej z opowieści niż własnych doświadczeń. Ich mózgi od początku okresu postnatalnego rozwijały się nieco inaczej, doświadczając zwiększającej się stymulacji bodźcami cyfrowymi coraz bardziej obecnymi w codziennym środowisku (Korte, 2020). Rodzice młodej generacji, jak i większość specjalistów z zakresu pracy z dziećmi i młodzieżą, to ostatnie pokolenia „cyfrowych imigrantów”. Wywodząc się z epoki analogowej, byli świadkami przejścia globalnego społeczeństwa w epokę cyfrową, a następnie jej dynamicznego rozwoju, który do dnia dzisiejszego osiągnął ledwie ułamek swoich możliwości. Tak głęboko zakorzenione różnice między generacjami stanowią istotną barierę profilaktyczną – młode pokolenie znacznie lepiej odnajduje się w cyfrowej rzeczywistości, do której jest bardziej przyzwyczajone niż rodzice, edukatorzy czy terapeuci, którzy pod tym względem pozostają o krok w tyle, mogąc mieć problem z rozpoznawaniem nowych zagrożeń, zanim te dosięgną ich dziecko.

Rural protest 2012-2022
The database contains occurrences of collective acts of rural protest. It contains a catalogue of all publicly registered rural collective protests events in 2012–2022—a universe. Definition Rural is defined as either 1. occurring within a rural area; or 2. involving rural actors (groups or organizations based in rural communities; or 3. pertaining to issues specific to the countryside, rural life, rural issues, agriculture or the natural environment. “Public” is understood to mean an action which is reported in at least one source. “Collective” is an action undertaken by at least three people. A collective public event is an act of protest if it is undertaken to articulate certain specified demands and is not a routine or legally prescribed behaviour of a social or political organization and whose form deviates from the routinely accepted way of voicing demands. Demands are “articulated” when the participants (whether organized or not) turn to institutions, organizations and enterprises, both public and private, and: express demands addressed at the public. A single protest event may include the activity of several separate groups or organizations. Unit of analysis The unit of analysis combines information derived from a series of articles from all the analysed publications dealing with one particular protest event or with a series of activities which can be defined as a single collective public protest event. Sources The methodology was used to collect information from sectoral (agricultural) and local sources. The sources of information are media which focus their reporting on rural affairs and the countryside. Their content was stored by and commissioned from a specialized company.

Mind the Like-Minded. The Role of Social Identity in Prosocial Crowdfunding
Current social challenges have increased the interest in globally spread collective actions, especially those taking place in virtual space. Crowdfunding is one form of online activism that has recently gained importance. Although research conducted so far indicates the significance of social motives among participants of crowdfunding campaigns, knowledge about the psychosocial mechanisms involved in its effectiveness is limited. This article attempts to reinforce the position of crowdfunding as one of the forms of collective action and to expand knowledge about possible psychosocial factors that could shape participation in crowdfunding campaigns. In three pre-registered studies (N = 823), we found that the social identity based on a shared worldview positively correlated with the intention to participate in prosocial crowdfunding. Moreover, the relationship between opinion-based group identity and collective action varied depending on participation type (predicted vs. experienced engagement in a campaign). In other words, when people gather in communities built around shared opinions on a given social issue, they develop a sense of community, which can translate into activities for the benefit of the group such as supporting crowdfunding campaigns. However, in the case of actual behaviour, unlike with the declaration of participation, the strength of the relationship with social identity significantly diminishes. The results are discussed in relation to the theory of collective action. - 2023-06-09
Fantazje o byciu podawaną z rąk do rąk. Transkobiece marzenia o uprzedmiotowieniu jako mechanizm produkcji płci
This article is an attempt at the analysis of the relationship between trans feminine fantasies of extreme, sadomasochistic objectification in sexual relations, and social means of the production of gender. Using mixed methods (literary ana-lysis, autotheory, and feminist critique) it situates the problem of sadomasochism and trans femininity within the context of patriarchal gender norms, but also within the context of the desire to embody these norms as a form of a gender affirmation. Rejecting trans-exclusionary proposals, it suggests the possibility to understand the trans feminine romance with objectification as an intentional strategy for seizing the means of the production of gender. However, to understand those strategies, one must look beyond frameworks which portray agency as being founded on a com-plete exclusion of submissiveness. - 2023-10-02
National narcissism in politics and public understanding of science
People seek to belong to groups that they evaluate positively and identify with. A strong ingroup identity is typically thought to bring about positive outcomes for the individuals and for the group. However, when group identity is motivated by frustrated psychological needs, it can manifest as collective narcissism — a belief that one’s group is exceptional and deserves special treatment. Such a defensive ingroup identity is related to a motivated social cognition focused on the enhancement and protection of the ingroup image, even at the expense of ingroup members. In this Review, we consider the implications of differentiating collective narcissism from ingroup identification in the national context, and their different intragroup and intergroup manifestations. We focus on two domains: political attitudes and behaviours as well as the public understanding of science related to health and environmental protection. We outline how concerns for national image enhancement and protection can shape political and social manifestations of national narcissism, such as susceptibility to narratives that enhance the national image, sensitivity to disrespect and suspicion of outgroups, and acceptance of misinformation. - 2022-12-15
ethnoVR 2.0.: A first-person experience of cross-cultural misunderstanding in Virtual Reality
EthnoVR is an immersive first-person perspective experience of cross-cultural misunderstanding. The scenario, developed using the critical incidents method, covers a situation of cooperation between Chinese and Polish students. A quantitative investigation of the impact of 360 video (N=100) showed a reduction in ethnocentrism and an increase in cognitive empathy. In this paper we introduce the second iteration of ethnoVR - supplemented with extended content, available in English, Chinese and Polish. Additionally, we conducted qualitative UX research (N=31) which allowed us to map the emotions of users and the emotions they attributed to the characters in the movie.
