Az Országgyűlési Múzeum (1923-1949) karikatúragyűjteménye

This study examines the caricature collection of the Museum of the National Assembly, which existed between 1923 and 1949. It was created by the regime in power between the two World Wars for propaganda purposes. The core assumption of the study is that the regime used political caricatures as a form of self-representation, therefore the way the institution operated was strongly determined by political and ideological factors. The study discusses the organization of the collection and the exhibitions showcasing the works along these ideas. By examining the circumstances of the acquisition of the caricatures, the social status of the previous owners, the artists, and their political affiliations, and of course the caricatures themselves, the study attempts to answer the question how purposefully the museum used its caricature collection as an instrument of propaganda. It also aims to call attention to this unique collection of the Museum of the National Assembly, which has barely been researched before. By creating a collection of more than 1500 items and collecting and examining these caricatures in a scientific manner as historical sources, political caricatures entered the spotlight of political history research in Hungary for the first time. The primary sources of the study were archival documents regarding the Museum of the National Assembly, contemporary press releases, and the caricature collection itself, which remained intact almost in its entirety and is currently available for research in the Graphic Collection of the Hungarian National Museum

Konfliktuskezelési módok tükröződése a Közös Rorschach Vizsgálatban = Conflict handling as reflected by the Consensus Rorschach method

A kutatás keretében komplex tesztbattériát alkalmaztunk, amely a kommunikációs viselkedést személyiség- megküzdési, kötődési, valamint párkapcsolatműködési jegyekkel együttesen mérte. Vizsgálati mintánkba 300 sine morbo pár, valamint 70 munkacsoport került. A kommunikációs viselkedés szoros kapcsolatban állt a személyiségjegyekkel, ezt az összefüggést befolyásolta a kapcsolati elégedettség is. A párdinamikai viszonyokat meghatározta a két partner kötődése, mind tudatos, mind pedig tudattelőttes személyiségrétegek tekintetében. A párkapcsolati elégedettséget és a megküzdési képességet számottevően befolyásolták a spirituális orientáció hatásai. A munkahelyi kommunikációt szintén alakitotta a személyiség, ennél azonban lényegesebb hatással volt a munkahelyen betöltött szerep. Megkezdődött a Közös Rorschach Vizsgálat terápiás alkalmazása. | Complex test battery was administered to 300 couples, that included measures of interpersonal communication (Consensus Rorschach), measures of attachment, coping, as well as family functioning and family satisfaction. Communicative behavior was closely related to personality characteristics, however effects were moderated by family satisfaction. Couple dynamics were also influenced by attachment style, as if both partners were unsecurely attached, interpersonal communication was characterized by intense rivalry, hostility and tension. Relationship satisfaction and coping both were influenced by spiritual orientation, with most significant when both partners were strongly committed to spiritual practice. Interpersonal communication at work was influenced by personality and role requirements both, with emphasis on the latter. Consensus Rorschach has been applied with great efficancy as a diagnostic method in family therapy setting

The relationship between the big five personality dimensions and acute psychopathology: mediating and moderating effects of coping strategies.

BACKGROUND: Prior research suggests that the Big Five personality dimensions might be associated with coping strategies as well as acute psychopathology. The aim of the present study was to investigate direct and indirect associations between the Big Five personality traits, coping styles, and psychopathological variables. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: Subjects were 1140 adults from various institutions and regions in Hungary. A comprehensive test battery was administered including the Big Five Inventory (BFI), Psychological Immune System Inventory (PISI), and some subscales of the Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI). Several moderation-mediation analyses were conducted using the PROCESS tool in SPSS to test for influence paths. RESULTS: Coping and personality variables jointly accounted for 40% to 50% of variance in psychopathology outcome. Personality dimensions of Extraversion, Conscientiousness and Emotional Stability had strongest predictive values. Emotional Stability had a more direct and unmediated effect, whereas Extraversion and Conscientiousness effects were mediated by the Approach and Self-regulation coping systems. In comparison to personality, coping style was generally a stronger predictor. CONCLUSIONS: The findings of this study might add to better understanding of complex pathways leading from broad personality dimensions to coping strategies and psychological (mal)adjustment
