Openness to interreligious dialogue – psychological antecedents and processes

2019

Celem niniejszego artykułu jest określenie psychologicznych uwarunkowań i procesów, które odgrywają kluczową rolę w budowaniu i rozwijaniu otwartości na dialog międzyreligijny. Dwa czynniki decydują o stylu prowadzenia dialogu międzyreligijnego: cechy osobowości (ugodowość i otwartość na doświadczenie) oraz postawy religijne (dojrzała religijność). Formują one atmosferę tolerancji, która jest szczególnie ważna w dialogu, gdyż tworzy wolność religijną, która jest niezbędnym warunkiem dialogu międzyreligijnego. Skuteczność dialogu międzyreligijnego zależy od obecności czynników osobistych i grupowych, które określają jego ostateczny charakter, np. prawdziwa autonomia motywacji religijnej, umi…

Attitudes and related perceptions about product placement: a comparison of Finland, Italy and the United States

Motivated by earlier studies, we investigate the cross-national measurement invariance of scales to measure four research constructs related to the product placement domain (attitude toward credibility of advertising, attitude toward advertising-in-general, attitude toward …

Associations between teacher quality, instructional quality and student reading outcomes in Nordic PIRLS 2016 data

2022

AbstractProgress in International Reading Literacy Study (PIRLS) focuses on the reading proficiency of students mostly in the fourth year of schooling. A wide selection of studies has shown that family background and early literacy activities at home have substantial associations with student achievement in reading literacy. However, research focusing on teacher qualities and teaching processes is inadequate. In this study, we focus on associations of teacher quality (formal qualifications and professional identity) and instructional quality (classroom management, cognitive activation and teacher support) with cognitive and affective-motivational student outcomes (variables Reading Achievem…

Religijne uwarunkowania postaw względem społecznej odpowiedzialności organizacji

2020

W dyskursie publicznym toczy się dyskusja na temat sposobów ograniczania negatywnych skutków funkcjonowania organizacji. Wśród nich wskazuje się społeczną odpowiedzialność organizacji. Jeżeli tego typu działania mają być podejmowane dobrowolnie, niezbędne jest pozytywne nastawienie względem nich obecnych i przyszłych decydentów. Stąd podjęto wiele prób zidentyfikowania czynników związanych z postawami względem społecznej odpowiedzialności organizacji. Przy czym wśród potencjalnych determinant bardzo rzadko uwzględniano religijność. W artykule podjęto właśnie próbę zidentyfikowania charakteru zależności między poziomem religijności osoby a jej stosunkiem do społecznej odpowiedzialności organ…
