Związek agresji, wybranych czynników osobowościowych oraz preferencji kategorii filmów pornograficznych
2018
Przeprowadzono badanie eksploracyjne w celu zbadania predyktorów oglądania pornografii z uwzględnieniem jej kategorii. Wzięło w nim udział 136 osób. Z 25 zaproponowanych najpopularniejszych słów kluczowych używanych do wyszukiwania pornografii w Internecie, wystarczająco licznymi okazało się 8 kategorii: „amatorki”, „BDSM”, „hardcore”, „lesbijki”, „nastolatki”, „seks analny”, „seks oralny” i „seks grupowy”. Potwierdzono 3 z 5 hipotez. Zaobserwowano związek wysokiej otwartości na doświadczenia z preferencją kategorii „BDSM” oraz „seks grupowy”, a także częstotliwości oglądania pornografii z agresją fizyczną. Związek wysokiej ekstrawersji z preferencją kategorii dotyczących rasy („Azjatki”, …

2017
Celem niniejszej pracy była dalsza eksploracja związku wybranych cech osobowości z preferencją danego typu pornografii. Do analiz wykorzystano dane pochodzące od 136 osób badanych, w wieku między 19. a 56. rokiem życia. Wybrane cechy osobowości były badane za pomocą kwestionariusza TIPI-PL. Badanym przedstawiono 25 kategorii filmów pornograficznych i poproszono ich o wybranie tych słów kluczowych, których używają do poszukiwania pornografii w Internecie. Eksploracja danych uwidoczniła, że oglądający filmy pornograficzne cechują się istotnie wyższym poziomem ekstrawersji oraz stabilności emocjonalnej w stosunku do osób niekorzystających z pornografii. Ponadto wykazano, że otwartość na doświa…
Is Democracy Exportable?
2017
Among many aspects to the question of whether democracy is exportable, this contribution focuses on the role of the people, understood not as a unitary actor but as a heterogeneous set: the citizens. The people matter, in a different way, both in the countries to which democracy might be exported and in the democratic countries in which the question is about promoting democracy elsewhere. The mechanisms or characteristics involved in the discussion include yardstick competition, differences among citizens in the intensity of their preferences, differences among autocracies regarding intrusion into private life, citizens’ assessments of future regime change, and responsiveness of elected inc…
Interactively Learning the Preferences of a Decision Maker in Multi-objective Optimization Utilizing Belief-rules
2020
Many real life problems can be modelled as multiobjective optimization problems. Such problems often consist of multiple conflicting objectives to be optimized simultaneously. Multiple optimal solutions exist to these problems, and a single solution cannot be said to be the best without preferences given by a domain expert. Preferences can be used to find satisfying solutions: optimal solutions, which best match the expert’s preferences. To model the preferences of the expert, and aid him/her in finding satisfying solutions, a novel method is proposed. The method utilizes machine learning combined with belief-rule based systems to adaptively train a belief rule based system to learn a domai…
Binds of Professionalism: Attachment in Australian and Finnish Early Years Policy
2016
Attachment theory is often referenced in psychology, social work and early childhood care and education, and is ubiquitous in popular publications directed to parents, carers and educators of young children. It is considered as a ‘grand theory’ that explains “the growth of social relationships from infants’ experiences with their caregivers and the consequent social preference called attachment” (Mercer, 2011, p. 26). In this chapter, we understand attachment theory as a discourse and as part of the ‘psy-complex’, “the sprawling speculative and regulative network of theories and practices that constitute psychology” (Parker, 2002, p. 199). We focus on the operation of ‘attachment discourses…
Challenge types in gaming validation of video game challenge inventory (CHA)
2020
Challenge is a key motivation for videogame play. But what kind of challenge types videogames include, and which of them players prefer? This article helps to answer the above questions by developing and validating Videogame Challenge Inventory (CHA), a psychometrically sound measurement for investigating players’ challenge preferences in videogames. Based on a review of literature, we developed a 38-item version of CHA that was included in a social media user survey (N = 813). An exploratory factor analysis (EFA) revealed a latent structure of five challenge types: Physical, Analytical, Socioemotional, Insight, and Foresight. CHA was amended in another EFA with USA-based survey data (N = 5…
La necesaria rehabilitación del sistema representativo en las propuestas de reforma democrática
2010
In the debates on deliberative democracy it’s a common idea that the defenders of this theory argue for the direct participation of the citizens in the political issues and for the transformation of our current representative devices. However, in this work I argue that this conception is misguided, and that it’s the minority who defends the direct participation. The majority of the writers acknowledges the necessity of a representative device, although based on different premises to the liberal system. The deliberative democracy supports a responsible and compromised citizenship, against the model of self interested citizenship.<br><br>En los debates sobre la democracia delibera…
Albanian students’ motives for preferring certain real-life situations for learning mathematics
2011
This article reports on a qualitative investigation of Albanian students’ motives for preferring certain real-life situations to be used in school mathematics, and possible connections of these motives to characteristics and issues within Albanian society. It is based on realistic interviews with students from Grades 8 and 9 in a school in the district of Shkodra in northern Albania. Interviews were conducted after students experienced five teaching units which dealt with mathematics embedded in real-life situations. Results are expressed in terms of contextmechanism-outcome configurations as proposed by critical realist theory. Most of the resultsare supported by those from a previous quan…
Measuring, comparing and interpreting phenotypic selection on floral scent
2022
Natural selection on floral scent composition is a key element of the hypothesis that pollinators and other floral visitors drive scent evolution. The measure of such selection is complicated by the high-dimensional nature of floral scent data and uncertainty about the cognitive processes involved in scent-mediated communication. We use dimension reduction through reduced-rank regression to jointly estimate a scent composite trait under selection and the strength of selection acting on this trait. To assess and compare variation in selection on scent across species, time and space, we reanalyse 22 datasets on six species from four previous studies. The results agreed qualitatively with prev…
Conditioned place preference: an animal model of motivational properties of drugs
2016
En el presente trabajo mostramos la técnica del condicionamiento de preferencia de lugar (CPL) como un modelo útil en el estudio de las propiedades motivacionales de las drogas. Se presentan los antecedentes de la técnica y se discuten algunas cuestiones metodológicas que es necesario considerar para diseñar una investigación empleando el modelo de CPL, como los diferentes tipos de aparatos disponibles, las diferentes fases del protocolo y sus posibles variaciones, el tipo de diseño (sesgado vs. no sesgado) o la necesidad de considerar los efectos del tiempo. Posteriormente se discuten algunas cuestiones a tener en cuenta a la hora de interpretar los datos obtenidos, como qué es lo que apre…
