The aim of the study was to determine the relationships between the dimensions of the quality of the interpersonal relationship of siblings in early adulthood and opinions about the social world, and to check whether there are relational predictors of these opinions. The participants of the study were 180 people (including 48.9% women) who were in early adulthood (M = 24.73; SD = 4.54), who came from complete families with adult siblings. The following research tools were used: the Adult Relationship Questionnaire (Walęcka-Matyja, 2014), the STQ-Now Questionnaire (Szymańska, 2016), the Social Opinion Questionnaire (Różycka, Wojciszke 2010) and a questionnaire. The obtained results indicate the existence of numerous, although mostly weak and moderate, relationships in the expected directions between all dimensions of the interpersonal relationship of siblings (except for Competition) and opinions about the social world. Relational predictors of beliefs about the social world were also determined. It was found that sibling relationships in which there is high conflict, intense competition and indifference negatively affect the experience of satisfaction with social exchange, the level of self-esteem and trust in interpersonal contacts. Additionally, the negative aspects of the relationship of adult siblings (Conflict, Indifference) foster the belief that the world is a game in which you have to be ready to constantly fight with others. In turn, friendly relations between siblings (Warmth, Mutuality) and those with an element of struggle for power in the relationship (Domination) contributed to an increase in the level of self-esteem.

AbstractThe paper used a social exchange lens to explore the impact of the quality of the relationship between supervisors and service employees on individual and organisational outcomes. The findings provide further evidence that the quality of the relationship between supervisors and service employees is a significant factor - in this case explaining almost half of the reasons as to why employees accepted or rejected organisational changes. Using the social exchange lens, the theory argues that the same characteristics evident in high quality leader–member exchange (LMX) relationships (effective levels of information, feedback and respect) are also likely to provide the ideal conditions for employees' to address their fears and answer their questions about potential organisational changes. As a result, service employees are more likely to accept the organisational changes. In addition, this study suggests that approximately half of job productivity and satisfaction is affected by the way LMX firstly affects employees' satisfaction with organisational communication processes, and secondly, their acceptance of organisational changes within SMEs.

Discussing from a phenomenological stance the distinction between hyletic and expressive conceptions of norms, I stress that phenomenology is able to develop an analysis of nomothetic intentionality that can surmount the opposition presented by Alchourrón and Bulygin. However, this entails a revision of the Husserlian analysis of the relationship between judgments and norms, namely of his thesis concerning the foundation of every intentional act in objectifying acts. I highlight the specificity of normative intentionality, its non-dependence on objectifying acts, and I propose to name the quality of normative acts as “ductive force”. Then, I take distance to the classical analysis of normative judgments as having the ought-form, outlining a more detailed analysis of them, namely stressing that the juridical propositions must have a richer content in order to describe norms. Then, I propose my own account based on the concept of “ductive force”. I affirm that the ductive force of norms cannot be identified only with coercion. I show that there is, even inside the juridical sphere, a variety of ductive forces, going from sheer coercion to council and recommendation. Finally, I stress the centrality of the concept of “ductive force” for a phenomenology of the social world.

Purpose This paper aims to explore tourist perceived value and attachment to intelligent voice assistants (IVAs) as antecedents of the quality of the human–IVA relationship in the hospitality domain. This research also examines the moderating role of psychological factors (self-esteem) and knowledge factors (past experience and technology expertise) in the relationships between antecedents and relationship quality. Design/methodology/approach The researchers conducted two quantitative studies, collecting data via online surveys in Mechanical Turk (n1 = 124 and n2 = 281). The proposed model was tested using partial least squares structural equation modeling. Findings The first study uncovers that tourist perceived value is the main influence on the quality of the relationship between tourists and IVAs. The second study confirms the direct relationships of the first and shows that self-esteem and technology expertise act as moderators. Practical implications This study advances the understanding of the tourism and hospitality stakeholders in using modern technologies (e.g. IVAs). Through comprehending the relationship building between individuals and IVAs, the stakeholders will be able to craft better strategies. Originality/value The study extends the attachment and social exchange theories to the tourist–IVA relationship context. Specifically, this research demonstrates the impact of tourist perceived value on the quality of the relationship with the IVA. It also points out that tourists’ self-esteem and technology expertise can weaken the tourist–IVA relationship.

Self-esteem is central to personal education. The social environment directly affects the formation of self-esteem. While functioning, it affects human behavior, self-regulation and is influenced by the values of the individual. Self-esteem is a complex education that includes both intellectual and emotional components. Many experts believe that self-esteem is not only a person's assessment of himself, but also his place among the people around him. Accordingly, it affects the relationship of a person with others, the effectiveness of his activities and the further development of the personality.

The relationship of parental nurturance to self-esteem for seven distinct adolescent and early-adulthood age groups ( N = 784) was investigated. Analysis showed that even though mothers' and fathers' nurturance together were more strongly related to self-esteem during the junior high school years ( R2 values >50% were obtained in each of the junior high samples) than during the high school and college years ( R2 values < 40% were obtained in each of these samples), parental nurturance still remained a robust predictor of self-esteem during these latter years. These results were discussed within the context of (a) the stability at different ages of the bases upon which one's judgments of self-esteem are made, and (b) parental nurturance as a stabilizing influence during the transitional years of adolescence and early adulthood.

<p>The article describes the psychosocial characteristics of students with learning disabilities. Qualitative data collection and processing (interview and interview content analysis) and quantitative (socio-metric research) methods have been applied. Positive and negative psychosocial (emotional self-satisfaction/feeling, self-actualisation and self-expression and inter- personal relations) characteristics of a student with learning disabilities have been distinguished and defined. The social status of these students has been ascertained within the class and the motives of the  classmates in their choices have been revealed.</p><p>A psychosocial portrait (according to feeling well, self- actualisation, and the quality of interpersonal relationship) of a student with learning disabilities is ambiguous, reconciling both positive and negative characteristics. In the class, a relatively high status of students with learning disabilities has been identified. Positive and negative classmate’s choices mostly related to personal qualities and acceptable or unacceptable behaviour of the students with learning disabilities. An analysis of interview content revealed the factors determining self-esteem, self-expression, and interpersonal relationships of students with learning disabilities.</p><p>Straipsnyje pateikiama mokymosi sutrikimų turinčių mokinių psichosocialinė charakteristika. Taikyti kokybiniai (interviu ir interviu turinio analizė) ir kiekybiniai (sociometrinis tyrimas) metodai. Išskirtos ir apibūdintos pozityvios ir negatyvios mokymosi sutrikimų turinčio mokinio psichosocialinės (emocinio pasitenkinimo/savijautos, savirealizacijos ir saviraiškos bei tarpasmeninių santykių) charakteristikos. Išsiaiškintas mokinių, turinčių mokymosi sutrikimą, socialinis statusas klasėje, atskleisti bendraklasių pasirinkimų motyvai.</p><p>Mokinio, turinčio mokymosi sutrikimą, psichosocialinis portretas (pagal savijautą, savirealizaciją ir tarpasmeninių santykių kokybę) nevienareikšmis, jame dera ir pozityvios, ir negatyvios charakteristikos. Nustatytas pakankamai aukštas mokymosi sutrikimų turinčių mokinių statusas klasėje. Teigiami ir neigiami bendraklasių pasirinkimai labiausiai siejasi su mokinių, turinčių mokymosi sutrikimų, asmeninėmis savybėmis ir priimtinu ar nepriimtinu jų elgesiu. Interviu turinio analizė leido atskleisti veiksnius, lemiančius mokinių, turinčių mokymosi sutrikimų, gerą savijautą, saviraišką bei  tarpasmeninius santykius: mokinių požiūriu tai - draugiški santykiai  klasėje, savo stiprybių mokantis pažinimas, geranoriška klasės draugų parama ir pagalba, sėkmė ir įvertinimas ne mokymosi veikloje; tėvų požiūriu - draugiški santykiai klasėje, vaiko palaikymas, galimybė vaikui dalyvauti klasės/mokyklos renginiuose, būrelių lankymas; mokytojų akcentuojami pozityvūs veiksniai: geras mokyklos lankymas, draugiškas bendravimas su klasės draugais, noras atlikti skirtas užduotis, gebėjimas susikaupti, mokėjimas tvardytis susidūrus su nesėkme, noras dalyvauti ir dalyvavimas klasės/mokyklos renginiuose; specialistų minimi pozityvūs vaiko ugdymosi psichologiniai veiksniai: gera vaiko savijauta klasėje, pasitikėjimas savimi, palaikantys bendraklasiai, šiltas ir palaikantis mokytojo santykis su vaiku, galimybė vaikui realizuoti savo pomėgius užklasinėje veikloje. Probleminės sritys, išryškėjusios per interviu dalyvių apibūdintus neigiamus psichosocialinius veiksnius, keliančius mokiniui ir jo ugdytojams diskomfortą, siejasi su gan dažnais neigiamais emociniais vaiko išgyvenimais, susijusiais su mokykla (nepalankūs santykiai su bendraklasiais ir mokytojais, patiriami mokymosi sunkumai, palaikymo ir pagalbos vaikui stoka), mokinio elgesio charakteristikomis, trukdančiomis bendrauti ir ypač - nepakankama savirealizacija ir saviraiškos stoka (menku įsitraukimu į bendras klasės/mokyklos veiklas).</p>

The aim of this research was to examine the mediating role of teacher–pupil interaction in the relationship of temperament to self-esteem and school success among year-7 and year-8 elementary-school pupils in Croatia and Bosnia & Herzegovina (B&H). The assumptions on the contribution of the dimensions of temperament (self-control and negative affectivity) and teacher–pupil interaction (influence and proximity) in explaining pupils' self-esteem and school success were partially confirmed. Similar relationships among the measured variables were confirmed in both samples of pupils. Self-control, negative affectivity, and teacher proximity directly predicted self-esteem, while self- -control indirectly predicted self-esteem through teacher proximity. Self-control and teacher proximity contributed directly to school success, and the indirect contribution of self- -control to school success through teacher proximity was also significant. The results of this research indicate the importance of the direct contribution of children's temperaments to their self-esteem and school success, and of its indirect contribution through the quality of the interaction with their teacher.

Contemporary grandparents are active people, not only in the social but also professional field. Regardless of other duties, one of the socially assigned tasks in the role of grandparent is to take care for grandchildren. As various studies have reported, this task may bring caregivers more losses than benefits (eg Goodman & Silverstein, 2002). In the present study, data from 148 people over 57 years who have looked after grandchildren have been analyzed, to determine whether the amount of time devoted by grandparents to care for grandchildren will affect their sense of quality of life. Grandparents gender, age, and locus of control was controlled. The obtained results confirmed that with the increase of the number of hours devoted to grandchildren care, the sense of quality of life of the grandparents drops. This effect is stronger among grandfathers. The sense of the location of control plays the role of a mediator and suppressor in the relationship of care time over grandchildren with a sense of quality of life. The results are discussed in the context of potential family burden and work load among grandparents. Key words: grandparents, grandchildren, quality of life, location of control, care for grandchildren
