Szívbetegek érzelmi-hangulati állapotának jellegzetességei szívműtét előtt és után

Számos tanulmány szerint nyitott szívműtét után a betegek nagy aránya mutat szorongásos és depressziós tüneteket, más vizsgálatok viszont azt mutatják, hogy a szívbetegek pszichológiai zavarai a műtét előtt is fennállnak. Vizsgálatunkban 97 szívkoszorúér-műtéten átesett beteg (átlagéletkor 55,6 év) esetében mértük fel a szorongás és depresszió mértékét, illetve előfordulásának gyakoriságát az operáció előtt és azt követően 6 héttel később, nem műtéti kontrollcsoporttal összehasonlítva. A szorongás mérésére a Spielberger-féle állapot- és vonásszorongás, a depresszió mérésére pedig a Beck-féle depresszió kérdőíveket alkalmaztuk. A szívbetegcsoport magas állapotszorongása a műtét előtt a beavatkozás okozta stressz következménye, amely a műtét után jelentősen csökkent, és elérte a kontrollcsoport állapotszorongásának szintjét. Ugyanakkor a vonásszorongás és a depresszió a műtét előtt és műtét után szignifikánsan magasabb értéket mutatott a kontrollcsoporthoz viszonyítva. Eredményeink arra utalnak, hogy a betegek kedvezőtlen érzelmi-hangulati állapota nem a műtét következménye, hanem inkább a szívbetegség velejárója, illetve rizikótényezője

Narcissism and the strategic pursuit of short-term mating : universal links across 11 world regions of the International Sexuality Description Project-2.

Previous studies have documented links between sub-clinical narcissism and the active pursuit of short-term mating strategies (e.g., unrestricted sociosexuality, marital infidelity, mate poaching). Nearly all of these investigations have relied solely on samples from Western cultures. In the current study, responses from a cross-cultural survey of 30,470 people across 53 nations spanning 11 world regions (North America, Central/South America, Northern Europe, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, Southern Europe, Middle East, Africa, Oceania, Southeast Asia, and East Asia) were used to evaluate whether narcissism (as measured by the Narcissistic Personality Inventory; NPI) was universally associated with short-term mating. Results revealed narcissism scores (including two broad factors and seven traditional facets as measured by the NPI) were functionally equivalent across cultures, reliably associating with key sexual outcomes (e.g., more active pursuit of short-term mating, intimate partner violence, and sexual aggression) and sex-related personality traits (e.g., higher extraversion and openness to experience). Whereas some features of personality (e.g., subjective well-being) were universally associated with socially adaptive facets of Narcissism (e.g., self-sufficiency), most indicators of short-term mating (e.g., unrestricted sociosexuality and marital infidelity) were universally associated with the socially maladaptive facets of narcissism (e.g., exploitativeness). Discussion addresses limitations of these cross-culturally universal findings and presents suggestions for future research into revealing the precise psychological features of narcissism that facilitate the strategic pursuit of short-term mating

En este estudio se han usado respuestas de la encuesta transcultural de 30.470 personas de 53 naciones de 11 regiones mundiales (América del Norte, América del Sur/América Central, Europa del Norte, Europa del Oeste, Europa del Este, Europa del Sur, Oriente Próximo, África, Asia del Sur/Sudoeste de Asia, Asia del Este y Oceanía) para evaluar si el narcisismo (medido por el Inventario de Personalidad Narcisista; NPI) se asocia panuniversalmente con los indicadores del emparejamiento a corto plazo, tanto en la dirección, como en la intensidad. Los resultados sugieren que el narcisismo (incluidos muchos aspectos suyos medidos por el NPI) tiene las mismas asociaciones básicas con los rasgos de personalidad relacionados con el sexo (p. ej. extraversión alta) y con los resultados sexuales claves (p. ej. búsqueda más activa de las estrategias del emparejamiento a corto plazo) a través de las 11 mayores regiones mundiales del PDSI 2. La discusión se enfoca en las implicaciones y limitaciones del estudio actual

Student’s Characteristics as a Basis for Competency Development in Engineering Informatics Education

Current technological innovations and continuous change in the labor market have generated new challenges for higher education, and thrown new light upon the importance of competency development in engineering education. Responsibility, flexibility, communication and collaborative skills, self-motivation, problem-solving and innovation are the most required skills by employers. However, individual differences like personality traits or interpersonal skills of students can also be considered relevant factors influencing teachers’ attitudes towards integration of effective methods into engineering education. The purpose of this paper is to examine the competencies of undergraduates attending Engineering Informatics education, and to identify their personal needs for development in the light of workplace demands. Personality characteristics of Engineering Informatics students are also addressed in this research in order to reveal possible ways of involving them into the teaching and learning process by implementing new methods or approaches in Engineering Informatics education in Hungary
