It is grounded topics and educational principles of discipline for social rehabilitators professional prepare. The author singles out four approaches for understanding suffering community and collective trauma dynamics (enlightenment, psychoanalytic, socio-constructive and organizational psychological). It is proposed three scales for social psychological analysis of community: urgent, long-term and trans-generative time intervals. Because the content has potential for secondary trauma induction, it is necessary to improve some safe promotional didactic elements: reflexive validity, resourceness, and information ecology principles. Students can choice some additional traumatic situations in local or national communities for joint analysis in the auditorium, which gives empowerment and feelings of co-creation during learning process.

This chapter reviews social psychological research on help giving and helping relations from the 1950s until today. The first section considers the conditions under which people are likely to help others, personality dispositions that characterize helpful individuals, and motivational and attributional antecedents of helpfulness. The second section looks at long-term consequences of help and examines help in the context of enduring and emotionally significant relationships. Research has shown that in the long run help can increase psychological and physical well-being for helpers but discourage self-reliance for recipients. The third section analyzes helping from intra- and intergroup perspectives, considering how its provision can contribute to helpers’ reputations within a group or promote the positive social identity of in-groups relative to out-groups. Help is thus conceptualized as a negotiation between the fundamental psychological needs for belongingness and independence. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

AbstractOn the basis of investigations with samples from a fertilization trial started in 1980, some parameters of food storage ability are evaluated. Microbial infestation of the product during incubation seems to be the most reliable parameter, but the circumstances of infestation and the optimal test conditions are unknown. There are no reliable correlations among the results of degradation tests, storage tests under optimal conditions, and chemical contents of the product. The concept of product vitality (a product-oriented quality referring to a product full of vigor) is based on results of degradation tests. Ultimately, however, food quality standards are based on human priorities (human-oriented). Therefore, not only product characteristics, but also social, psychological, and environmental criteria should be considered.
