Współzależność religijności z poczuciem sensu życia i nadzieją w okresie późnej adolescencji

2016

The religiousness of young people is strongly associated with discovering life goals, identity formation, and the sphere of values. During this period there occur dynamic changes in religious beliefs and behaviours, as well as the process of discovering the meaning of life and creating hope. The purpose of this article is to examine the relationships between religion analysed in terms of personal constructs and post-critical beliefs and the sense of meaning in life, as well as two types of hope: basic hope and hope for success. The research was conducted on a group of 198 people (104 men and 94 women) aged 18–23 years. The results showed that religiousness is more strongly associated with t…

Me, osteogenesis imperfecta, and my classmates in physical education lessons: a case study of embodied pedagogy in action

2017

Pupils with disabilities have been found to experience a narrower physical education curriculum and participate less frequently than pupils without disabilities. A lack of knowledge, skills, relevant experiences and confidence amongst physical education (PE) teachers has been said to contribute to these differential educational experiences. This article adds to the paucity of research that analyses the PE experiences of pupils with disabilities while, at the same time, evaluating embodied pedagogy as a tool for better preparing PE teachers for their role as inclusive educators. Specifically, the article aims to: (1) explore the PE experiences of a university student named Violeta who lives …

France After the Liberation: The Labour Movement, the Employers and the Political Leaders in Their Struggle with the Social Movement

2018

The French defeat in the spring of 1940 and the ensuing German occupation, as well as the establishment of the authoritarian Vichy regime, made it theoretically impossible for social movements to emerge; that is to say, to allow the development of mobilisation(s) and challenge(s) to authority within companies and/or against any aspect of government policy. However, in the summer of 1940 and a fortiori from 1941 onwards, resistance movements were born precisely because of their ability to convey the discontent of the French society and to use its momentum. In this sense, the French Resistance undoubtedly was a social movement, whose members were leading a ‘normal’ life as civilians under occ…

Funcionamiento familiar, personalidad y satisfacción vital en las parejas casadas

2017

Abstract.FAMILY FUNCTIONING, PERSONALITY AND LIFE SATISFACTION IN MARRIED COUPLESTheory and research suggest that the personality characteristics that each spouse brings to a relationship are related to marital and life satisfaction. Furthermore, a variety of studies have shown that Emotional Stability, Agreeableness, and Conscientiousness are strongly related to relationship satisfaction, which in turn benefits spouses’ satisfaction with life in general. Regarding family functioning, familial cohesion, defined as the degree of togetherness or closeness or emotional bonding that family members have toward one another, was found to be correlated with inter-personal well-being and satisfactio…

Examining the Veggiee Personality: Results from a Representative German Sample

2017

An increasing proportion of people choose to follow a vegetarian diet. To date, however, little is known about if and how individual differences in personality relate to following a vegetarian diet. In the two studies presented here, we aimed to (1) estimate the prevalence of self-defined vegetarians in two waves of a German representative sample (N = 4,496 and 5,125, respectively), (2) analyze the effect of socio-demographic variables on dietary behavior, and (3) examine individual differences between vegetarians and meat eaters in personality traits, political attitudes, and health-related variables. In Study 1, a strict definition of vegetarians was used, while in Study 2 the definition …

Associations between the dopamine D4 receptor gene polymorphisms and personality traits in elite athletes.

2019

Personality traits and temperament may affect sports performance. Previous studies suggest that dopamine may play an important role in behavior regulation and physical exercise performance. The aim of this study is to determine associations between dopamine D4 receptor gene (DRD4 Ex3) polymorphisms and personality traits (such as neuroticism, extraversion, openness, agreeability and conscientiousness) in elite combat athletes. A total of 302 physically active, unrelated, self-reported Caucasian participants were recruited for this study. The participants consisted of 200 elite male combat athletes and 102 healthy male participants (control group). For personality trait measurements, the NEO…

Máquinas y aviadores. La experiencia de la guerra en los foto-libros del joven Jünger

2013

[spa] El modo en que el Jünger de los años 30 recuerda y describe la guerra en sus foto-libros concibe la misma principalmente desde la contemplación estética como un espectáculo de la naturaleza, en detrimento de su cruel dimensión moral y personal. Ello, que en buena medida es posibilitado por la conciencia técnica, capaz de objetivar a las personas y concebirlas fuera de la esfera del dolor, permite al soldado vivir el combate como una experiencia interior en la que se encuentra cara a cara con lo absoluto y mediante la que puede sentir la vida y la libertad como nunca antes. La guerra se convierte en el espacio idóneo para la realización de un nuevo tipo de hombre duro, noble y viril, e…

Good Conscience, False Consciousness, Judging Reason

1972

In all scientific or popular reflections on the theory of practical conduct, during the 20th century, almost no mention is made of a ‘good conscience’: people simply have it1, that means, they are assured of themselves, because they believe themselves to possess the ‘true consciousness’, whereas possible adversaries are flatly accused of manifesting a ‘false consciousness’2. The seeming evidence of this opinion as well as the pious adoption of the conditions and consequences implied in it make the relation of ‘good conscience’ and ‘false consciousness’ an eminent theme of a philosophy striving at unequivocal enlightenment of disguised phenomena through fundamental inquiry. Such a philosophy…

Automatic auditory intelligence: an expression of the sensory-cognitive core of cognitive processes.

2010

Abstract In this article, we present a new view on the nature of cognitive processes suggesting that there is a common core, viz., automatic sensory–cognitive processes that form the basis for higher-order cognitive processes. It has been shown that automatic sensory–cognitive processes are shared by humans and various other species and occur at different developmental stages and even in different states of consciousness. This evidence, based on the automatic electrophysiological change-detection response mismatch negativity (MMN), its magnetoencephalographic equivalent MMNm, and behavioral data, indicates that in audition surprisingly complex processes occur automatically and mainly in the…
