This paper reports the findings of a 12-nation study designed to test empirically the relationships between societal cultural values, individual social beliefs, and the perceived effectiveness of different influence strategies. The relationships between three types of broad influence strategy (persuasive, assertive, and relationship based) and four dimensions of individual beliefs (cynicism, fate control, reward for application, and religiosity) were examined. Three of Project GLOBE's cultural values (in-group collectivism, uncertainty avoidance, and future orientation) were selected to investigate their direct effects on the rated effectiveness of influence strategies, and their possible i…

Materialne i niematerialne przejawy kultu św. Barbary w środowisku górniczym
2019
Kult św. Barbary w środowisku zawodowym górników na przestrzeni ostatnich dwóch wieków przyjmował wiele zróżnicowanych form.

Global Perspective on Marital Satisfaction
2020
Across the world, millions of couples get married each year. One of the strongest predictors of whether partners will remain in their relationship is their reported satisfaction. Marital satisfaction is commonly found to be a key predictor of both individual and relational well-being. Despite its importance in predicting relationship longevity, there are relatively few empirical research studies examining predictors of marital satisfaction outside of a Western context. To address this gap in the literature and complete the existing knowledge about global predictors of marital satisfaction, we used an open-access database of self-reported assessments of self-reported marital satisfaction wit…

Popular Religiosity and Collective Effervescence in Contemporary Sicily
2014
This paper focuses on the religious feasts of St. Agata, one of the most important religious feasts in Southern Italy, in the city of Catania. Drawing upon participatory observation and a netnography of virtual communities of devotees, the Christian popular religiosity towards this female Saint can be seen to represent an annual consecratory encounter between the Saint/Sacred and the local community, and also a kind of contemporary ordeal for young people. As Durkheim suggested, religion is what brings people together by reinforcing social relations and moral norms through a “collective effervescence”. This group energy, when felt by the individual, is not recognized as the result of commun…

2021
Research on individual differences in facing the COVID-19 pandemic seems to be crucial in order to design diverse and highly effective intervention strategies. This study uses a sample of 302 North American participants who were recruited through the crowdsourcing platform ProA; different profiles were established, profiling variables of interest in facing the COVID-19 outbreak. Socio-demographic and psychological (personality traits, gratitude, life purpose, and religiosity) variables were explored. These results are of interest if we want to deepen the study of individual differences at both a theoretical and applied level.
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…
