{"title":"The \"Relatedness-Exclusion\" Scale: Creation and Validation","authors":"I.Y. Suvorova, A.A. Rakhanova, N.V. Korzun","doi":"10.17759/sps.2024150212","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.17759/sps.2024150212","url":null,"abstract":"Objective. The article describes a test of the validity and reliability of the Relatedness-Exclusion scale, based on the general scale of satisfaction of basic psychological needs by E. Deci and R. Ryan. Background. Relatedness as a basic psychological need is mentioned in a number of theories, but it is most conceptually described in the Self-determination theory by E. Deci and R. Ryan, within which it is diagnosed as one of the scales of the “General Scale of Satisfaction of Basic Psychological Needs.” However, the authors paid much more attention to the need for autonomy as a necessary condition for self-determination. This bias led to a blurring of the boundaries of the phenomenon of relatedness and relatively low indicators of the quality criteria of this scale. As a result, a series of studies led to the creation of a three-factor model of belonging that needs to be tested for validity and reliability. Study design. The study was carried out in three stages. At the first stage, testing was carried out to assess convergent validity, consistency of the behavior of the variables with the variables of other questionnaires, reliability and internal consistency. At the second stage, factorial validity was checked. The third stage was devoted to standardization. Participants. At the first stage of the study, 76 full-time MPSU students (17 m, 59 f) aged from 17 to 22 years (M = 20; SD = 1,03) took part. At the second stage, the sample consisted of 1905 people (501 m, 1404 f) aged from 9 to 81 years (M = 27,81; SD = 10,4). The third stage of the study was conducted on a sample of 1925 people. Measurements. The quality criteria of the questionnaire were checked by calculating internal consistency (Cronbach's α), test-retest reliability, and correlation analysis of the questionnaire scales with each other, as well as with other questionnaires. Factorial validity was tested using confirmatory factor analysis. Calculations were carried out in IBM SPSS 23 and AMOS 23. Results. Checking the questionnaire for validity, reliability and internal consistency showed statistically significant results in almost all cases: Cronbach's α is 0,849, which corresponds to the level of good internal consistency; the significance level of test-retest reliability and convergent validity for all three scales is p ≤ 0,01. Correlation with other questionnaires confirmed the content aspect of the three types of relatedness. As a result of confirmatory factor analysis, CFI = 0,928; RMSEA = 0,064, which is slightly beyond the recommended values. Conclusions. As a result of verification of the created questionnaire, it was established that it passed all the necessary procedures for verification. The questionnaire is a good intermediate model of the need to belong and is a completely working tool, but needs additional refinement.","PeriodicalId":54079,"journal":{"name":"Social Psychology and Society","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2024-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141802628","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}

This exploratory study investigated whether perspective-taking and awareness of vulnerability procedures could enhance impressions of robots. Background. A society characterized by the harmonious coexistence of humans and robots is poised for realization in the imminent future. Nevertheless, numerous challenges must be confronted for the materialization of such a societal paradigm. One among them pertains to the prevailing tendency for humans to harbor adverse perceptions of robots, the amelioration of which proves to be a complex endeavor. The present study undertakes an exploratory investigation into strategies aimed at mitigating unfavorable impressions associated with robots. Study design. Participants were randomly assigned to one of three groups: control group, perspective perception group, and robot vulnerability awareness group, and received different instructions. Participants. Online experiments were conducted with 360 participants who were asked to imagine and describe a day in the life of a robot, and their impressions of the robot were measured using a questionnaire. Measurements. Upon conjecturing and articulating the robot's daily routines, participants shared their perceptions of the robot through the application of three assessment tools: the Robot Anxiety Scale, the Mind Attribution Scale, and the Familiarity Rating Scale. Results. The manipulation checks confirmed successful manipulation, but there was no evidence that perspective-taking or awareness of vulnerability influenced impressions of the robot. Conclusions. The efficacy of perspective-taking, a technique established as beneficial in ameliorating adverse perceptions of humans, may exhibit diminished effectiveness in the context of alleviating negative impressions associated with robots.","PeriodicalId":54079,"journal":{"name":"Social Psychology and Society","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2024-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141804298","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}

The research is aimed at analyzing of the problems associated with the terminology and diagnosis of problematic social media use (PSMU) in adolescents, and summarizing data on its prevalence, psychosocial and somatic comorbidity. Background. The last decades are characterized by the rapid introduction of the Internet into everyday life. Uncontrolled use of social media leading to negative consequences is considered PSMU. According to the modern biopsychosocial model, its formation is based on a combination of biological, psychological and social factors. Among the negative consequences of PSMU, according to data from both domestic and foreign researchers, a wide range of psychosocial and psychosomatic problems are identified. Conclusions. A literature review shows that PSMU affects a significant proportion of the population (7-26% – depending on measurement methodology and geographical and cultural factors) with a predominance in collectivist societies and in females. To diagnose this pathology, the European research group “European network for problematic usage of the Internet” suggests using the Social Media Disorder Scale (SMDS) questionnaire, which has shown high validity and reliability. Personal characteristics such as narcissism, neuroticism, impulsivity, low self-control, low self-esteem, and fear of missing out are considered risk factors for PSMU. Comorbidity of PSMU with anxiety-depressive disorders, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, social phobia, aggressive behavior, loneliness and suicidal ideation has been established. The association of PSMU with sleep disorders and somatic complaints (chronic pain syndromes, decreased immunity) has been shown. However, most studies have been conducted abroad and focus on generalized Internet addiction (excluding content consumed). In addition, there is insufficient data on the psychosomatic comorbidity of PSMU, especially in adolescents, which indicates the high relevance of such studies.","PeriodicalId":54079,"journal":{"name":"Social Psychology and Society","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2024-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141802923","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}

Analysis of the relationships between phubbing behavior and the characteristics of communication skills, sociability, escapism and existential fulfillment of people aged 18 to 50 years. Background. In the situation of digitalization of society, it is important to understand new types of communicative norms of human interaction. There is a demand to uncover the main factors and predictors of phubbing behavior in modern society, as well as to understand the role of phubbing in changing the nature of communication. Study design. The study revealed the relationship between phubbing behavior and communication and sociability of an individual. The relationships between phubbing patterns and indicators of existential fulfillment and the depth of contact with oneself and other people were also examined. The study was conducted using correlation analysis. Participants. The study involved 316 people aged 18 to 50 years (54% women, 46% men). The sample was stratified by gender, age (youth/middle-aged people), and level of education (higher education/specialized secondary education). Measurements. The following methods were used in the study: General Phubbing Scale (Phubber) (Chotpitayasunondh, Douglas, 2018); The Generic Scale of Being Phubbed (GSBP) (Phubbee) (Chotpitayasunondh, Douglas, 2018); Sociability test (Bogacheva, 2021); Methodology for measuring the level of expression of escapism (Teslavskaya, Savchenko, 2019); Test of existential motivation (TEM) (V.B. Shumsky, E.M. Ukolova, E.N. Osin, Ya.D. Lupandina, 2016). Results. Phubbing behavior is interconnected with such personality characteristics as sociability, contact, social adaptability and ergicity. Escapism reduces the likelihood of phubbing behavior and is not a direct characteristic of it. Existential fulfillment, meaningfulness of life and one's future, satisfaction with one's life and oneself reduce the likelihood of phubbing in relation to a partner. Phubbing behavior is more pronounced in women. There is a connection between active phubbing and having a higher education. The vast majority of the sample (both young people and mature people) consider phubbing to be an acceptable social norm of modern communication. Conclusions. The desire for quick, superficial and varied contacts increases the likelihood of phubbing in relation to a communication partner, and meaningfulness of one’s own life and deep contact with oneself reduces the likelihood of such behavior.","PeriodicalId":54079,"journal":{"name":"Social Psychology and Society","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2024-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141805563","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}
