U radu su prikazani i neki relativno noviji modeli seksualnog zadovoljstva: model Carpenterove i sur. (2009), koji razlikuje osobne, relacijske i kulturalne utjecaje na seksualno zadovoljstvo i ekološki model seksualnog zadovoljstva (Henderson, Lehavot i Simoni, 2009), koji različite odrednice seksualnog zadovoljstva smješta u okvir Bronfenbrennerove ekološke teorije. Polazeći od prethodno navedenih modela, prikazani su rezultati dosadašnjih istraživanja sljedećih odrednica seksualnog zadovoljstva: 1. odrednice osobne razine ili mikrosustava (socio-demografske karakteristike, seksualne disfunkcije, osobine ličnosti, stavovi o seksualnosti i subjektivna dobrobit), 2. odrednice interpersonalne razine ili mezosustava (karakteristike same veze, romantična ljubav, seksualno samootkrivanje i drugi aspekti seksualnosti), 3. odrednice egzosustava (socijalna potpora, trudnoća, roditeljstvo, viktimizacija i obiteljske interakcije u djetinjstvu) te 4. odrednice makrosustava (religioznost i politička ideologija). U završnom dijelu su prikazani zaključci i smjernice za buduća istraživanja u tri područja: 1. mjerni instrumenti, 2. ciljevi i problemi budućih istraživanja s obzirom na aktualne modele te 3. individualni vs. dijadni pristup.

Postmenarcheal girls (N = 246) from primary and secondary schools from Croatia filled out the Expected/ Experienced Emotions related to Menarche Scale measuring pleasant and unpleasant emotional reactions; Preparedness for the Menarche; Significant Other’s Responses to Girl’s Menarche Checklist measuring informational support and positive emotional responses; and a set of specific questions. For most adolescent girls, the mother is both the main source of information (97.2%) and the first person to confide about the menarche (83.7%). Girls perceived the response of the significant other more as informational support (such as providing information on the use of sanitary products) than as positive emotional response. However, the positive emotional response of the significant other, together with higher levels of preparedness, predicted higher levels of girl’s pleasant personal experience at menarche.

The aim of the research was twofold: (1) to elucidate how developmental, health, and social support factors determine the choice of WISC-IV for intellectual assessment of this population in educational/vocational guidance, (2) to analyze basic findings of the conducted assessments at each WISC-IV subtest. The study was conducted on 102 blind and partially sighted children (51 girls, 34 blind) aged 12 to 16, as part of the regular assessment at Center Vinko Bek. Partially sighted and blind with residual functional vision were tested by all subtests, while the rest of the blind participants were tested only by verbal comprehension (VC) and working memory (WM) subtests. The favorable ratio of blind and partially sighted participants, the fact that the blind with residual functional vision manage to solve all subtests, and mostly quality social support suggest the use of WISC-IV for intellectual assessment of this population. Unfavorable circumstances are the dominant presence of visual impairment from birth, additional health difficulties and late professional help. In the VC subtests both groups show significantly lower values than the norms with moderate deviation (the weakest performance on the Comprehension subtest), while on the WM subtests they achieve a result equal (Digit Span) or moderately lower than the norms (Letter-Number Sequencing). In perceptual reasoning and processing speed subtests the blind show significantly lower while the partially sighted moderately lower scores than the norm. Only the performance of the partially sighted in the Block Design subtest statistically equals that of the sighted population. The findings are interpreted in the context of previous research and developmental, health and social support specifics.

Iz toga proizlaze i brojni načini njegove operacionalizacije. U radu je prikazan postupak konstrukcije i validacije Skale samoprocjene uspješnog starenja, prve mjere kojom se ovaj konstrukt pokušalo izravno ispitati na hrvatskim uzorcima starijih osoba. Metrijske karakteristike skale provjerene su na uzorku od 479 starijih osoba u dobi od 60 do 95 godina (M = 69,37; SD = 7,03) iz različitih dijelova Hrvatske. Konfirmatornom faktorskom analizom donekle je potvrđena pretpostavljena jednofaktorska struktura skale (uz uvođenje dodatnih parametara u jednofaktorski model). Skala je pokazala zadovoljavajuću osjetljivost i pouzdanost. U prilog valjanosti skale govore i značajne povezanosti između rezultata na skali i nekih konstrukata za koje se i očekuje da bi trebali biti povezani s uspješnim starenjem, kao što su tjelesno i mentalno zdravlje, zadovoljstvo životom, doživljaj smisla života, optimizam, generativnost i dr. Zaključno, Skala samoprocjene uspješnog starenja je u ispitanom uzorku starijih osoba pokazala dobre metrijske karakteristike te se može upotrebljavati u istraživanjima uspješnog starenja. Ipak, poželjne su daljnje provjere njezine faktorske strukture, te su otvorene mogućnosti za daljnje revizije njezina sadržaja s ciljem poboljšanja njezine valjanosti i kulturalne osjetljivosti, kako bi skala što bolje zahvatila konstrukt uspješnog starenja u hrvatskom kulturalnom okruženju.

Istraživanje je provedeno na uzorku od 500 ispitanika dobnog raspona od 15 do 65 godina. Uzorak je podijeljen na tri dobne skupine: mlađu (15-25 godina), srednju (26-45 godina) i stariju (46-65 godina). Rezultati su pokazali da se u sve tri dobne skupine ekstrahira prvi faktor koji predstavlja kognitivne sposobnosti i zasićen je mjerom EI kao sposobnost. To su potvrdili koeficijenti kongruencije između tri dobne skupine. U mlađoj i srednjoj dobnoj skupini ekstrahirana su dodatna dva faktora, pri čemu drugi faktor predstavlja EI kao ličnost, a treći EI kao sposobnost. Koeficijent kongruencije je pokazao da treći faktor između mlađe i srednje dobne skupne nije kongruentan. U starijoj dobnoj skupini ekstrahiran je samo jedan dodatni faktor, povrh faktora kognitivnih sposobnosti i na njemu su se smjestile mjere EI kao sposobnost i EI kao osobina ličnosti. Ključni nalaz istraživanja jest da je EI kao sposobnost značajno povezana s verbalnim faktorom, tj. kristaliziranom inteligencijom te da postoji razlika u emocionalnom procesiranju u funkciji dobi. Sve navedeno upućuje na to da je emocionalna inteligencija vjerojatno jedna od kognitivnih sposobnosti, a ne osobina ličnosti.

Korištenim instrumentima zahva-tili smo dvije dimenzije osobnih stereotipa o izbjeglicama: toplinu i kompetentnost, četiri međugrupne emocije: divljenje, zavist, prezir i sažaljenje, te namjere dvaju ti-pova ponašanja: aktivno pomaganje i aktivno nanošenje štete izbjeglicama. Na općoj razini rezultati upućuju na to da stereotipi i međugrupne emocije predviđaju namjere aktivnog pomaganja i aktivnog nanošenja štete izbjeglicama. Konkretno, u skladu s postavkama BIAS modela potvrđeno je da su stereotipi o toplini (u odnosu na stereo-tipe o kompetentnosti) primarni prediktori namjera i aktivnog pomaganja i nanošenja štete, a da su emocije bitni neposredni prediktori namjera te da (djelomično) posre-duju efekte stereotipa na namjere aktivnih ponašanja.

However, due to the complexity of the relationship, differences in the understanding of ideology and the diversity of political systems, the issue has not yet been fully explored. Current research approaches the problems by monitoring the dynamics of change in the association between ideological position and party preferences over time in Croatia. Data for the study were collected in three surveys conducted in 2003 (N=1248), 2014 (N=1000) and 2016 (N=750) on nationally representative samples of the Croatian adult population. The ideological position of an individual was measured in two ways, using General Social Attitude Scale (SAS_G) and left-right dimension self-placement. Political party preferences were measured by the reported electoral choice in the previous elections and the expressed voting choice in the forthcoming elections. The results of the current study indicate a ste-ady increase in the correlation between ideological factors and political preferences over the years. In the paper we argue that the observed increase in the corresponden-ce between one’s own ideology and the preference for a political party could be an additional indicator of democratic consolidation in transitional and post-transitional countries like Croatia. However, unlike the democratic consolidation taking place on the outside and involving the construction of democratic institutions, this is a change in the minds of citizens who broaden and deepen their political culture, knowledge of ideology, political competence and are becoming more aware of implications of their own electoral decisions.","PeriodicalId":35108,"journal":{"name":"Suvremena Psihologija","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42390918","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Participants rated their satisfaction with physical appearance and their health status. Well-being was assessed by The Scale of positive and negative experience and participants reported how much they experienced positive (6 items) and negative feelings (6 items) over the last month. Two physical activities frequency measures included how many days a week participants were engaged in a vigorous physical activity such as fitness and sport, as well as in moderate physical activity such as walking and gardening. Personality traits, socio-demographic characteristics, and objective health measures were reported and controlled in analyses. The results of regression analyses showed that satisfaction with physical appearance was predicted positively by both measures of physical activities. Satisfaction with health was pre-dicted positively only by engagement in a vigorous physical activity. Concerning the affective well-being, both vigorous and moderate physical activities had a predictive role in experiencing positive feelings over the last month. Experiencing more negative feelings over the last month was predicted by less vigorous physical activities, howe- ver, the predictive value was small.
