New Luddites? Counterproductive Work Behavior and Its Correlates, Including Work Characteristics, Stress at Work, and Job Satisfaction Among Employees Working With Industrial and Collaborative Robots

Human‐robot interaction (HRI) is integral to Industry 4.0, yet its psychological aspects remain insufficiently explored. In particular, relatively little is known about differences in the organizational and individual factors contributing to counterproductive work behaviors (CWB) among employees working with industrial robots and collaborative robots (cobots). This deficiency highlights the need to deepen our understanding of socially undesirable organizational behaviors that might occur in HRI and their potential correlates to better align with the human‐centered focus of the evolving Industry 5.0. The first aim of our study was to investigate whether work characteristics, job satisfaction, and stress at work are related to CWB (overall and in two dimensions - sabotage and withdrawal) in the total sample and the two subgroups, including industrial robot operators and cobot operators. Based on the stressor‐emotion model of CWB, we expected that these organizational and individual factors would contribute to CWB among employees working with robots. The second aim of our study was to examine differences in CWB and its potential correlates (i.e., work characteristics, work stress, and job satisfaction) among industrial robot operators and cobot operators. We found no significant correlation between work stress and CWB, including its dimensions of sabotage and withdrawal. However, our results showed that cobot operators reported more favorable physical work conditions and ergonomics, lower work stress, higher job satisfaction, and greater overall CWB compared to industrial robot operators. These results underscore the distinctive psychological dynamics in HRI among industrial robot operators and cobot operators, which might contribute to differences in CWB in both groups of employees. Our study also suggests potential directions for future research on the predictors of CWB and moderators and mediators of the stress‐CWB relationship in robotic work environments.

Adoption of the Transparency and Openness Promotion (TOP) guidelines within health psychology and behavioural medicine journal policies: a cross-sectional study

Scientific journals play a crucial role in promoting open science. The Transparency and Openness Promotion (TOP) guidelines identify a range of standards that journals can adopt to promote the verifiability of the research they publish. We evaluated the adoption of TOP standards within health psychology and behavioural medicine journal policies, as this had not yet been systematically assessed. In a cross-sectional study on 19 health psychology and behavioural medicine journals, eight raters evaluated TOP standard adoption by these journals using the TRUST journal policy evaluation tool. Out of a total possible score of 29, journal scores ranged from 1 to 13 (median = 6). Standards related to use of reporting guidelines and data transparency were adopted the most, whereas standards related to pre-registration of study analysis plans and citation of code were adopted the least. TOP guidelines have to-date been poorly adopted within health psychology and behavioural medicine journal policies. There are several relatively straightforward opportunities for improvement, such as expanding policies around research data to also consider code and materials, and reducing ambiguity of wording. However, other improvements may require a collaborative approach involving all research stakeholders.

The Influence of Mating Context on Creativity: Insights from Simulated Dating Scenarios

Creativity offers both survival and reproductive benefits, being a desirable trait in potential mates and linked to fertility and sexuality. We investigated whether viewing attractive faces of potential short-term or long-term partners in a simulated dating portal enhances participants’ creativity. We also explored possible mediators (arousal, mood, sexual arousal, motivation, and attraction) and moderators (relationship status, satisfaction, mate value, and sociosexual orientation). In Study 1, 483 participants (Mage = 30.06, SD = 6.37; 242 women, 241 men) viewed either four attractive or four unattractive opposite-sex potential partners and wrote self-promotional bios. No significant creativity differences were found between the attractive and unattractive groups. However, men were more flexible and produced more original ideas than women, while women showed greater fluency and self-creativity promotion. In Study 2, 494 participants (Mage = 30.84, SD = 6.06; 258 women, 236 men) viewed profiles of attractive potential partners for either short-term or long-term inclined relationships. Women's fluency and originality were higher in the long-term condition, but sexual arousal negatively impacted both fluency and originality when choosing an attractive partner for a long-term relationship, particularly when a real date desirability with the mate was high. Overall, the results suggest that creativity is influenced by the mating context, though the effects were modest. Future studies should increase sample sizes, geographic diversity, and experimental settings.

Prawo powszechnego dostępu do rzeki – szansa czy zagrożenie?

Everyone is entitled to the public use of public inland surface waters, internal marine waters and the waters of the territorial sea. At the same time, it is forbidden to fence property adjacent to them, as well as to prohibit or prevent passage through the area. The thesis of the article is that the current legislation is not suffi cient when it comes to ensuring public access to waters, hence the need to amend it by replacing liability for off enses with criminal-administrative liability. The lack of eff ective instruments to enforce such prohibitions can lead to much controversy. In this article, this problem is presented on the grounds of universal access to the river and its banks by persons engaged in amateur fi shing (anglers). Providing regulations that allow amateur fi shing in rivers is an important element in the development of river angling and tourism, and in the long run can also contribute to reducing crime. The research that formed the basis of this study relied on the dogmatic method, the historical method and also the method of public consultation.
