Development of need for recovery from work over one year: A person-centered approach
2011
This longitudinal questionnaire study conducted among 274 Finnish employees (57% women, average age 45.9 years) in a variety of jobs aimed at identifying groups of employees who share similar mean levels and changes in need for recovery and finding out whether factors regarded as antecedents of need for recovery distinguish between the different groups of need for recovery across one year. Using mixture modeling eight groups of need for recovery were identified. The individuals identified as closely resembling each other with respect to need for recovery and its change across one year were considered to belong to the same need for recovery group. Five of these groups indicated stable (low, …
Reducing the Cost of Being the Boss: Authentic Leadership Suppresses the Effect of Role Stereotype Conflict on Antisocial Behaviors in Leaders and En…
2021
What drives entrepreneurs to engage in antisocial economic behaviors? Without dismissing entrepreneurs’ agency in their decision-making processes, our study aims to answer this question by proposing that antisocial economic behaviors are a dysfunctional coping mechanism to reduce the psychological tension that entrepreneurs face in their day-to-day activities. Further, given the overlap between the male gender role stereotype and both leader and entrepreneur role stereotypes, this psychological tension should be stronger in female entrepreneurs (or any person who identifies with the female gender role). We argue that besides the well-established female gender role – leader role incongruence…
Recensión: Ovejero, A. Autogestión en tiempos de crisis. Utilidad de las colectividades libertarias

Demokracja i wartości w wychowaniu. O epistemologicznym statusie doświadczenia w pragmatyzmie
2019
Znaczenie doświadczenia w wychowaniu w postulatach pedagogiki pragmatyzmu jest powszechnie znane. Wiele miejsca tej problematyce poświęcił John Dewey. Celem artykułu jest odpowiedź na pytanie o ograniczenia w wykorzystywaniu doświadczenia w procesie wychowania. Odpowiedź na to pytanie jest wpisana w epistemologiczne zagadnienie relacji między doświadczeniem a teorią. W pierwszym punkcie są przywołane najważniejsze kwestie dotyczące pojęć doświadczenia, demokracji i wartości w wychowaniu. W drugim punkcie opisana jest rola doświadczenia w pragmatyzmie w kontekście behawioryzmu, zwłaszcza behawioryzmu społecznego. W trzecim punkcie przedstawione są w skrócie epistemologiczne dyskusje nad stat…
Influence of fish aggregating devices (FADs) on anti-predator behaviour within experimental mesocosms
2015
Commercial fishers have used fish aggregating devices throughout the Mediterranean Sea for over 40 years. These devices attract numerous predatory and forage species in both coastal and offshore environments. This study examined the influence of fish aggregating devices on schooling and aggregating behaviour by small forage fish in quasi-natural mesocosms. Anti-predator behaviour was evaluated for juvenile Caranx crysos under a variety of treatment conditions. Results suggest that, in the absence of physical structure, C. crysos first respond to a predatory threat by forming a school. When a physical structure is present, however, C. crysos show an occasional tendency to aggregate near the …
Actitudes de los jóvenes ante situaciones de agravio en el entorno familiar: su relación con el género, la creencia religiosa y el clima social famil…
2015
Los objetivos de este trabajo son desarrollar una adaptación española para jóvenes del Cuestionario de Actitudes ante Situaciones de Agravio en su versión familia (CASA-F; Moreno y Pereyra, 2000), analizar las diferencias en las actitudes ante el agravio en función del género y la creencia religiosa y establecer el poder predictivo del género, la creencia religiosa y el clima social familiar sobre las actitudes ante la ofensa de personas significativas. Los participantes fueron 230 jóvenes (edad media= 21.2), 130 mujeres y 100 hombres, quienes cumplimentaron el cuestionario CASA-F y la escala de Clima Social Familiar de Moos, Moos y Trickett (1995). Respecto al primer objetivo, los resultad…
Effects of Emergence Time and Early Social Rearing Environment on Behaviour of Atlantic Salmon: Consequences for Juvenile Fitness and Smolt Migration
2015
Consistent individual differences in behaviour have been well documented in a variety of animal taxa, but surprisingly little is known about the fitness and life-history consequences of such individual variation. In wild salmonids, the timing of fry emergence from gravel spawning nests has been suggested to be coupled with individual behavioural traits. Here, we further investigate the link between timing of spawning nest emergence and behaviour of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar), test effects of social rearing environment on behavioural traits in fish with different emergence times, and assess whether behavioural traits measured in the laboratory predict growth, survival, and migration statu…
Low levels of relatedness on black grouse leks despite male philopatry
2008
In lekking species, males cluster on specific areas for display (the leks) and females generally prefer to copulate with males on large aggregations. The maintenance of leks in which only a few males reproduce might be explained if subordinate males gain indirect fitness benefits. By joining a lek on which relatives are displaying, subordinates might attract more females to the lek thereby increasing the mating opportunities of their kin. In black grouse, a genetic structure among leks has previously been found suggesting that relatives could display together. Using 11 microsatellite loci, we extended this result by testing for the presence of kin structures in nine black grouse leks (101 m…
Psychophysiological effects of oxytocin on parent-child interactions: A literature review on oxytocin and parent-child interactions
2017
Oxytocin (OT), often called the “hormone of love” or “hormone of attachment”, plays a fundamental role in the establishment and quality of parent-infant bonding. However, emerging evidence indicates that OT can also produce antisocial behavior. To clarify these effects, we review studies examining the role of endogenous and exogenous OT on several determinants of attachment: parental sensitivity, and bonding or synchrony in parent–child dyads. Contextual and individual factors moderating the effect of intranasal OT (INOT) and its peripheral levels are also reviewed. Finally, potential therapeutic applications for OT and current limitations in human OT research are examined. This systematic …
