Emigracja a proces uczenia się małżonków

2022

Wstąpienie Polski do struktur Unii Europejskiej zapoczątkowało emigrację poakcesyjną Polaków, dla której charakterystyczne było pojawienie się nowych kierunków wyjazdów emigracyjnych. Jednym z najbardziej popularnych stała się Wielka Brytania. Wyjazd emigracyjny jest wydarzeniem znaczącym w biografii człowieka i całej jego rodziny.

The results have practical implications for the future resea…

Coping Strategies against peer victimization: differences according to gender, grade, victimization status and perceived classroom social climate

2021

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) include “Good Health and Well-being” (SDG3) and “Quality Education” (SDG4). Nevertheless, many students cannot achieve these goals if they suffer peer victimization at their schools, and intervention programs to reduce it are necessary. These programs should consider the possible differences in the coping strategies preferred by students according to some personal (e.g., gender, grade, victimization status) and contextual (e.g., perceived classroom social climate) factors to be more effective. Therefore, the objective of this study was to analyze the possible differences in the coping strategies preferred by students (ask a friend for help, ask a tea…
