Emocjonalna gotowość do komunikowania się z Innym polskich emigrantów w Anglii (badania porównawcze)

Celem badań była próba ustalenia poziomu emocjonalnej gotowości Polaków przebywających na emigracji w Anglii do dialogu z Innym. W związku z przyjęciem modelu porównawczego badań jako grupę odniesienia przyjęto zbliżoną pod względem demograficzno-społecznym grupę Anglików. W badaniach wykorzystano metodę sondażu diagnostycznego z narzędziem badawczym w postaci Skali Wrażliwości Międzykulturowej autorstwa Guo-Ming Chena i Williama J. Starosty (1996). Badaniami objęto 154 Polaków przebywających na emigracji zarobkowej oraz 160 Anglików zamieszkałych w południowo-zachodniej części Anglii. Narzędzie badawcze rozprowadzono metodą kuli śnieżnej, wykorzystując w tym celu m.in. nowoczesne środki komunikacji. Badania wykazały istotnie wyższy poziom gotowości do dialogu z osobą obcą po stronie badanych Anglików, zarówno w zakresie poszczególnych szczegółowych wymiarów, jak i w wymiarze globalnym. Można jednak uznać, że badani Polacy przebywający w Anglii w większości prezentują przeciętny (z tendencją ku wynikom wysokim) poziom analizowanej gotowości.
Individual Differences in Perceptions of Cyber Incivility: Mitigating the Negative Effects of Incivility with Job Crafting.

WEEDFALL, ANDREW ALEXANDER. Individual Differences in Perceptions of Cyber Incivility: Mitigating the Negative Effects of Incivility with Job Crafting. (Under the direction of Dr. Samuel B. Pond, III). Incivility is a set of mild, but deviant behaviors that violate workplace norms for mutual respect and that have an ambiguous intent to harm. Researchers have begun to link incivility to a wide array of negative work outcomes. However, less is known about the antecedents and outcomes of cyber incivility, or incivility that occurs through electronic mediums, such as email or text messaging. The present study aimed to fill some of the gaps in the cyber incivility literature by assessing personality as an antecedent to perceptions of cyber incivility (PCI), and four types of counterproductive work behaviors (CWBs) as outcomes. Furthermore, the present study assessed the mitigating factor of job crafting behaviors on the relation between PCI and these CWBs. Measurement issues prohibited the assessment of the relation between personality and PCI; however, other results showed a strong positive, and statistically significant relation between PCI and all four categories of CWBs. Furthermore, results yielded several significant interactions between the four job crafting dimensions and PCI on the CWB outcomes. However, interaction plots revealed that most interactions were in a direction opposite from what was hypothesized. I discuss the interpretation of these findings, limitations of this research, and suggestions for future research in detail.

Psychological capital, organizational justice and health

Purpose This study is based on job demands-resources model and the conservation of resources theory explores the roleof psychological capital (PsyCap), as a personal resource, and organizational justice (distributive and procedural), as a contextual resource, in enhancing health through work engagement. The paper aims to discuss this issue. Design/methodology/approach A sample of 193 Romanian social workers (87.60 percent women) from the national network was used to test two structural models. Findings Structural equation modeling analysis revealed that work engagement partially mediates the relationship between PsyCap and health, and work engagement totally mediates the relationship between organizational justice and health. Research limitations/implications The results emphasize the role of resources, PsyCap and organizational justice, in protecting the social workers’ health. Practical implications These findings support the necessity of combined evidence-based programs to develop social worker’s PsyCap and to maintain the optimum level of perceived organizational justice. These intervention programs can, in turn, enhance the work engagement and protect the health of employees in the workplace. Originality/value This study indicates a novel conceptual model that has two simultaneous predictors of work engagement and health. It provides insights into how contextual resources (organizational justice) potentiate the effect of personal resources (PsyCap) in enhancing health.
The importance of team psychological safety climate for enhancing younger team members’ innovation-related behaviors in South Korea

Indigenous cultural nuances such as age-related hierarchies in South Korea have the potential to impact workers’ engagement in innovation-related behaviors (IRBs). We use self-categorization theory to examine both the relationship between employee age and IRBs and the cross-level interaction effects of team psychological safety climate. Using a multilevel sample of 282 South Korean employees working in 65 teams across 45 different organizations in various industries, we find that team psychological safety climate moderates the relationship between age and engaging in IRBs. More specifically, we find that when teams have a weaker psychological safety climate, age is positively related to engaging in IRBs. However, when teams have a stronger psychological safety climate, age is not related to engaging in IRBs. We discuss the implications of these findings for innovation and managing work teams in Eastern contexts.
Communities of Practice - Beyond the Hype: Analysing the Developments in Communities of Practice at Work

In order to cope with the developments in the knowledge economy, many organisations are looking for ways to optimize knowledge exchange and cooperation within and outside the organization. One of the methods often used to stimulate these forms of social interaction is the Community of Practice (CoP). A community of practice is a social network where people in an organisational context come together around a common topic, passion or interest and regularly interact on- and offline with a focus on knowledge management, innovation, learning and social networking. For decades, many academics have studied the CoP forms, developments, their effects, and factors that influence them. This dissertation addresses in an exploratory manner, the developments of communities based on a data-driven approach. A new more reliable combination of methods and techniques is applied to data sources that describe and explain social behaviour in a CoP. Developments are described by distilling complex network patterns and visualizations from web-based social interaction data, while explaining these developments has been done by conducting a survey in four Dutch cases. These two different data sources were then merged to paint a reliable and valid picture of developments within the CoPs. The dissertation contributes to our expertise in building and maintaining CoPs and our understanding of the how and why of developments in these CoPs. In addition, first steps have been set towards the development of a Community Monitoring and Evaluation Methodology (CMEM) that is developed based on the combination of methods and techniques used in this dissertation to cope with the increasingly large datasets available in CoPs and online social environments in general. Based on these contributions, we go beyond the hype about CoPs in organisations and take a new step towards a more targeted development of CoPs.
Masculinity and psychological help seeking: An application of Social Identity Theory

According to Social Identity Theory, men should demonstrate a stronger link between masculinity and the avoidance of psychological help seeking relative to women, as their in-group social identity status relies on the demonstration of ‘masculine’ behavior. However, this assertion has yet to be directly tested. Using structural equation modeling, this study addressed this omission by testing the invariance of a previously identified help seeking model across men and women, using samples of both college students and community adults. Specifically, the model examined the link between masculinity and several factors linked to psychological help seeking (i.e., help-seeking stigma, disclosure risks, attitudes, and intentions). In addition, selfcompassion has been identified as a potential buffering factor for the link between masculinity and help-seeking outcomes, though this has only been tested with men. As such, selfcompassion was included as a moderating variable in the study, to examine any differences in the moderating effect between men and women. Finally, this study also tested a model examining the relation between masculinity and initial help-seeking decisions (i.e., deciding to access online information about mental health or psychological services), as this had yet to be examined in previous studies.
An anatomical study of pterygoalar bar and its clinical relevance

Objectives: Pterygoalar ligament extends from the root of lateral pterygoid plate to the under surface of greater wing of sphenoid. The ligament may ossify partly or completely leading to the formation of bony bar. Complete or incomplete pterygoalar bar may act as an obstacle for approaching retro-and para-paharyngeal spaces for various surgical procedures. Methods: A total of 55 dried adult skulls and 20 sphenoid bones were observed for the presence of complete or incomplete ossification of the pterygoalar ligament. Results: Totally, 17 bones (22.67%) showed partial ossification of the pterygoalar ligament. Complete ossification was not observed in any of the cases. Bilateral incomplete pterygoalar bar was seen in six skulls. Unilateral incomplete pterygoalar bar was seen in 11 cases (5 left and 6 right sides). Conclusions: Knowledge of complete or partial ossification of the various ligaments in the region is important for anesthetists, surgeons and dentists. Being closely related to foramen ovale, such ossified bars of bone may cause entrapment neuropathy of mandibular nerve and its branches.
Exploring the School-to-Prison Pipeline: How School Suspensions Influence Incarceration During Young Adulthood

A growing body of research has evoked the life-course perspective to understand how experiences in school relate to a wide range of longer term life outcomes. This is perhaps best typified by the notion of the school-to-prison pipeline which refers to a process by which youth who experience punitive punishment in schools are increasingly enmeshed within the criminal justice system. While this metaphor is commonly accepted, few studies have examined the extent to which exclusionary school discipline significantly alters pathways toward incarceration as youth transition into young adulthood. Applying a life-course perspective and leveraging 15 waves of data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997, this study examines how school suspensions influence the odds of imprisonment during young adulthood. Mixed-effects longitudinal models demonstrate that receiving a suspension serves as a key turning point toward increased odds of incarceration, even after accounting for key covariates including levels of criminal offending. However, results show that repeated suspensions do not appear to confer additional risk of incarceration. Results carry implications for the ways in which school punishment impacts youths’ life-course.
The English Article Errors Encountered by Arabic EFL Undergraduate Students in the Writing Skill

The research aims at English articles errors encountered by Arabic students in the English language classroom in writing. The study was analyzed in use of English articles (definite & indefinite) in the participant’s writing skill. It also describes the types and sources of definite and indefinite article errors while writing. The Data were collected from 40 EFL students from College of Arts, King Saud University, and Riyadh. Who learn English language at least a minimum of 8 years . They were assigned to write different title of a short composition passage of approximately 100 words in one-and-a-half hours per week. Errors were identified during analysis of ‘Omission of Articles’, ‘Omission of indefinite Articles’ , ‘Wrong insertion of Articles’, and ‘Confusion of Articles’ . And the observation revealed frequency of removing both the indefinite articles and the definite article was higher than the occurrence of inserting and substituting one article with the other. This study also proofs that errors of using ‘a’ much common than errors of using ‘an’ and ‘the’ in writing the story.

Crossing the Borderline in Strategic Corporate Philanthropy: Dangote and the Construction of Cement Roads in Nigeria

Using the case of Nigeria's Dangote Group and an exploratory research technique, we critique CSR practices in a developing country context based on a three&#8208;pillar model&#8212;traditional CSR, strategic CSR and strategic business engagements. Our paper makes a unique contribution by revealing how a company can transform its strategic CSR into strategic business engagements that permit it to circumvent public procurement laws and secure public contracts at non&#8208;competitive terms. We show how, in weak institutional and regulatory contexts, strategic CSR could be turned to a tool for rent extraction and profit maximization. We advocate for regulatory measures that impose ex ante and ex post limits on the extent to which firms can go in integrating CSR into their normal business operations. Based on the outcomes from this important African case study, we illustrate and propose the strategic business engagement model as a new framework for analysing the social benefits of strategic CSR practices in developing countries.
Reconsidering the ethics of exclusion criteria in research on digital mental health interventions

ABSTRACT Digital mental health interventions (DMHIs) have emerged as a promising means of expanding access to mental healthcare. Prospective participants reporting severe symptoms or suicidal ideation are often excluded from DMHI trials and may struggle to access alternative treatments. However, evidence suggests that DMHIs are efficacious for people reporting these characteristics. We suggest that there are risks to both including and excluding people from DMHI trials, and we urge researchers to ensure that their eligibility criteria are designed in an evidence-based and ethically conscious manner. We also make specific recommendations for those working in various other capacities within the academic community.

2018 BEST DIVERSITY PAPER: Effects of Research and Internship Experiences on Engineering Task SelfEfficacy on Engineering Students Through an Intersectional Lens

High-impact academic experiences, particularly research and internship experiences, have positive impacts for engineering students on engineering task self-efficacy (ETSE), a measure of students’ perception of their ability to perform technical engineering tasks. However, underrepresented racial/ethnic minority students (URM) and women in engineering are found to have relatively lower self-perceptions across several academic and professional self-efficacy measures. Previous studies examined the impact of research and internship experiences on ETSE for students categorized by gender and URM status separately. The current study explores the impact of these experiences on ETSE for the intersection between these two identity categories. This study found that both non-URM and URM women that participated in research and internship experiences had lower ETSE scores than non-URM and URM men, respectively. However, URM women that participated in both research and internship experiences had a statistically similar ETSE score to non-URM men that had not participated in either. This study uses multiple linear regression to measure the association between engineering internships and student’s reported ETSE (effects of participating in research were not found to be significant across identities). Preliminary findings indicate that differences in ETSE between internship participants and non-participants are highest for URM women when compared to their counterparts. Consistent with the literature, this research finds that there is a greater positive effect in ETSE scores, as a result of participation in both research and internship experiences, for URM women than their majority counterparts. These preliminary results provide a foundation for further studies to causally investigate the link between academic experiences and self-efficacy levels for students who are underrepresented in engineering programs. Future implications of this work include the creation of targeted intervention efforts to increase support for all URM students’ access and participation in research and internship experiences. Additionally, this work seeks to challenge the bias towards monolithic interpretations of women and URM engineering students as separate categories and encourage intersectional perspectives when analyzing data to produce more inclusive results. Key Concepts: intersectionality, self-efficacy, engineering task self-efficacy, learning outcomes, academic pathways, inclusion, engineering experiences, research, internships
Language, Culture, and the Culture of Language

Although international students have been routinely admitted to U.S. law schools over the last few decades, there is little known about this demographic outside of specific programs aimed to admit these students like the LLM or the SJD. This Chapter extends this literature to focus on a rising trend of students within more the “mainstream” law school program, the JD. Our past research shows that the proportion of JDs who are international students has increased over the last decade, with the increase being most notable at elite law schools. Still, little is known about the experience of these students. In this Chapter, drawing from interview data with approximately 50 international students, as well as supplemental data from law school faculty and administrators, we suggest, in line with other research, that language is crucial to framing these students’ experiences. However, we do not limit our analysis to direct language proficiency. Instead, we argue that beyond technical language markers like vocabulary and syntax, it is the culture of language that determines the quality of students’ interactions and their institutional choices. International students, like all students, are constantly engaging in interactions that determine their perceived “fit” within sites in which they are embedded (e.g. classrooms, student groups, study groups, etc.) and across these contexts, expectations and presumptions of their abilities and identities shape the ways in which they are treated and allowed to assimilate. In concentrating on language and its interaction with students’ lived experience, these data give us important insights into understanding the creation and experience of law school cultures and their systemic reproduction of hierarchy.
The mediational role of affect regulation on the relation between attachment and alcohol use in college students

Alcohol use is consistently ranked as one of the leading health risk behaviors globally and is a risk for which college students are particularly susceptible. Previous research has demonstrated a link between attachment style and alcohol use, and Hunter and Maunder (2016) have proposed a model surrounding the impact of attachment insecurities on disease risk and burden. Within their model, they indicate the link between insecure attachment and alcohol use is made through affect regulation difficulties, claiming that alcohol use serves as an external regulator for those with internal difficulties regulating affect, the latter which is itself associated with insecure attachment styles. I tested these tenets of the Hunter and Maunder (2016) model in a sample of college students; specifically, the mediational role of affect regulation on the relation between attachment style and alcohol use. Using generalized structural equation modeling, I examined the mediational role of emotional dysregulation in a sample of 453 college students, using four separate outcome variables: 1) frequency of alcohol use; 2) quantity of alcohol use; 3) frequency of heavy episodic drinking; and, 4) overall alcohol use. Across these models, results consistently demonstrated a stable relation between emotional dysregulation and both attachment avoidance and anxiety. However, the four alcohol use outcome variables were not significantly related to emotional dysregulation, attachment anxiety, nor attachment avoidance. No significant indirect effects of emotional dysregulation were found for insecure attachment styles on reported alcohol use, in any of the four models. My results stand in contrast with previous, well-established findings in the literature. I discuss the limitations associated with my study, as well as implications for future investigations and clinical work.
