The study aims to explain what dimensions of the satisfaction of Croatian police officers with internal feedback are predictors of their readiness to explain their actions to citizens. The survey was conducted in 2020 on a convenience sample of 1260 police officers. The questionnaire measures satisfaction with feedback as one of eight dimensions of satisfaction with internal communication and police legitimacy in two dimensions of police and citizen interaction: accountability (citizens) – attitude and behaviour. The purpose is to compare feedback in internal and external police communication and examine to what extent the satisfaction of police officers with feedback contributes to the understanding of their attitudes and behaviour towards explaining actions to citizens. The results indicate the weak predictive power of variables that measure satisfaction with feedback in understanding the attitudes and behaviour of police officers related to explaining their actions to citizens. However, when introduced into the predictor model that contains the criterion variable "Behaviour related to explaining police actions to citizens" is the variable of attitude, the proportion of the variance explained increases significantly. The contribution of the paper is an analysis of the connection between internal and external communication of police officers in Croatia, and communication research is extremely important in police organizations in transition countries that undergo a transition from the traditional policing models to citizen-oriented policing models. A limitation of the paper is that only one aspect of internal communication has been examined in isolation. Therefore, new research should examine the complex nature of internal communication within a police organization in the context of the quality of police officers' relations with citizens, especially in relation to the willingness to explain police actions, as an important dimension of trust in the police.

Vjerovanja o učenju stranoga jezika predstavljaju kognitivni aspekt stava te kao takva imaju snažan utjecaj na učenikovo ponašanje, motivaciju i djelovanje u kontekstu formalnoga učenja stranoga jezika. Cilj ovoga rada jest ispitati vjerovanja studenata o učenju engleskoga kao stranoga jezika kao i razmotriti potencijalne implikacije tih vjerovanja za nastavnu praksu. Za ispitivanje vjerovanja korišten je upitnik BALLI (Beliefs about Language Learning) autorice Horwitz (1985). Vjerovanja su ispitana na temelju analize pet komponenata: prirodna sklonost, težina učenja, priroda učenja, učenje i komunikacijske strategije te motivacija. Rezultati pokazuju kako studenti vjeruju u postojanje prirodnih sklonosti za učenje jezika, percipiraju engleski jezik kao ne veoma teškim te pridaju važnost poznavanju vokabulara i razvoju komunikacijskih vještina naspram poznavanju kulture jezika cilja, gramatičkih pravila te prevođenja. Podjednak naglasak na tradicionalne i suvremene strategije učenja ukazuje na potencijalni raskorak između reformnih tendencija i nastavne prakse.

Fizičko kažnjavanje disciplinska je strategija koja podrazumijeva upotrebu fizičke sile, namijenjene da djetetu nanese bol, ali ne povredu, radi promjene ili iskorjenjivanja nekoga nepoželjnog ponašanja. Brojni roditelji često je koriste, ali se nešto rjeđe govori o stavovima neroditelja o fizičkoj kazni. Neroditelji su ljudi koji nemaju vlastitu djecu, ali se pretpostavlja da će ih imati u budućnosti. Cilj je ovoga rada bila usporedba stavova roditelja i neroditelja o fizičkoj kazni. U radu je analizirano 14 studija kvantitativnoga tipa. Pretraživane studije ispitivale su stavove roditelja i/ili neroditelja o fizičkoj kazni, a u obzir došli su roditelji djece normativnoga razvoja, bez kroničnih ili akutnih bolesti. Neroditelji su bili adolescenti ili studenti. Pretraga studija vršena je u online bazama podataka, a analizirane su one koje su registrirale stavove (ne)roditelja o fizičkoj kazni te su ispitivale mogućnost njihovih mijenjanja. Analiza studija sugerira da neroditelji manje odobravaju upotrebu fizičke kazne od roditelja, ali samo ako smatraju da je fizička kazna koju su sami doživjeli u djetinjstvu bila neopravdana. Informiranje o posljedicama fizičke kazne može i kod roditelja i kod neroditelja dovesti do manje podrške fizičkoj kazni. U radu su detaljnije prikazani rezultati studija i sugerira se da bi bilo korisno usporediti stavove (ne)roditelja i o drugim odgojnim strategijama.

Osobe sa intelektualnom ometenošću ispoljavaju teškoće u svim domenima funkcionisanja koje se mogu prevazići upotrebom asistivne tehnologije. Cilj ovog istraživanja je bio ispitati stavove defektologa prema upotrebi asistivne tehnologije u nastavi, njihovu motivaciju za njenom primenom i samopercepciju kompetencije. Uzorak je obuhvatio 62 defektologa oligofrenologa, koji rade u različitim tipovima ustanova, a primenjeni su instrumenti koji mere stavove prema upotrebi asistivne tehnologije, motivaciju za primenom i samopercepciju kompetencija u oblasti primene asistivne tehnologije. Dobijeno je da većina defektologa ima pozitivne stavove prema upotrebi asistivne tehnologije, visok stepen motivacije i smatra da je kompetentna za njeno korišćenje. Defektolozi koji svakodnevno primenjuju asistivnu tehnologiju imaju pozitivnije stavove, veću motivaciju i smatraju da su kompetentniji da je primenjuju. Defektolozi koji rade u ustanovama koje posećuju ispitanici mlađeg kalendarskog uzrasta imaju pozitivnije stavove i smatraju da su kompetentniji za primenu asistivne tehnologije od ispitanika koji rade u ustanovama u kojima borave starije osobe sa intelektualnom ometenošću. Sa porastom hronološkog uzrasta defektologa, stavovi prema primeni asistivne tehnologije u nastavi postaju negativniji, ali i opada samopercepcija kompetentnosti. Defektolozi koji imaju pozitivnije stavove prema upotrebi asistivne tehnologije u nastavi imaju i veći stepen motivacije za njenom primenom i smatraju da imaju više kompetencija. Nakon implementacija obuka kojima se direktno utiče na povećanje kompetencija defektologa u oblasti primene asistivne tehnologije se mogu poboljšati stavovi prema njenoj upotrebi, ali i povećati motivacija za svakodnevnom upotrebom iste u nastavi.

Cilj istraživanja je identifikacija procena učitelja o digitalnim kompetencijama koje imaju za korišćenje e-udžbenika u nastavi o prirodi i društvu. U istraživanju se pošlo od opšte pretpostavke da učitelji procenjuju da je e-udžbenik značajan u nastavi o prirodi i društvu, ali da nisu svi učitelji podjednako spremni za korišćenje e-udžbenika, pa su i efekti njegove upotrebe u nastavi o prirodi i društvu različiti. Pošlo se i od posebnih pretpostavki da postoje razlike u procenama učitelja različitog nastavnog iskustva, nivoa akademskog obrazovanja i načina usavršavanja o personalnoj digitalnoj kompetentnosti za korišćenje e-udžbenika u nastavi o prirodi i društvu. Istraživanje je sprovedeno u prvoj polovini školske 2022/23. godine na uzorku od 116 učitelja zaposlenih u osnovnim školama na području Zlatiborskog okruga. Podaci prikupljeni Skalerom digitalnih kompetencija učitelja za korišćenje e-udžbenika u nastavi o prirodi i društvu (Skaler – DKU-KeUNPD), čija je pouzdanost ispitivana Kronbahovim alfa koeficijentom ( = 0,924), i obrađeni deskriptivnom statistikom, analizom varijanse i Man-Vitnijevim U testom pokazali su da postoji statistički značajna razlika u procenama učitelja o personalnim digitalnim kompetencijama za korišćenje e-udžbenika u nastavi o prirodi i društvu u zavisnosti od nastavnog iskustva, nivoa akademskog obrazovanja i načina na koji se usavršavaju. Rezultati istraživanja upućuju na potrebu efikasne implementacije e-udžbenika u nastavu o prirodi i društvu, na snaženju digitalnih kompetencija studenata razredne nastave na svim nivoima studija i na potrebu kontinuiranog profesionalnog usavršavanja učitelja, posebno na polju razvoja digitalnih kompetencija usmerenih na stvaralačku primenu e-udžbenika u nastavnoj praksi.

Primena aplikacije Google Meet u cilju prelaska sa tradicionalne nastave na onlajn nastavu postala je izbor mnogih univerzitetskih ustanova tokom pandemije kovida. Shodno tome, aktuelizuju se pitanja koja se odnose na njenu efikasnost, pozitivne i negativne strane, kao i prihvatanje od strane glavnih aktera – studenata i nastavnika. Istraživanje ima za cilj da pruži odgovor na pitanje kakvi su stavovi studenata Filozofskog fakulteta u Nišu prema primeni aplikacije Google Meet u visokoškolskoj nastavi. U istraživanju je primenjena deskriptivna metoda, a uzorak istraživanja činilo je 211 studenata sa različitih departmana. Instrument istraživanja je petostepena skala procene Likertovog tipa putem koje su ispitivani stavovi studenata prema primeni aplikacije Google Meet. Rezultati istraživanja pokazuju da su studenti uglavnom neodlučni kada se izjašnjavaju o primeni ove aplikacije, kao i da u odnosu na nezavisne varijable istraživanja – pol, godinu studija, prosečnu ocenu tokom studiranja i studijski program, nema statistički značajnih razlika, osim kod pojedinih ajtema.

Poremećaj autističnog spektra spada u pervazivne poremećaje razvoja koji pogađaju praktično sve sfere psiho-socijalnog, ali i motornog razvoja pojedinca. Poremećaj autističnog spektra (PAS) je karakterisan uglavnom nižim kvocijentom inteligencije, poremećajem senzorne integracije (nespretnost, stereotipija pokreta, ograničen spektar interesovanja, opiranje promjenama i bihevioralni poremećaji), poremećajem razvoja govora, itd. Osnovni problem ovog istraživanja se sastoji u postojanju subjektivnih prepreka ovoj inkluziji, manifestovanih uglavnom kroz stavove učitelja i nastavnika redovnih škola prema ovoj djeci. Cilj ove studije je bio da se ispitaju stavovi učitelja i nastavnika redovnih osnovnih škola kantona Sarajevo prema djeci sa PAS-om. Empirijsko istraživanje je kvantitativnog tipa, sa deskriptivnom (učestalost pojava) i inferencijalnom statistikom (utvrđivanje povezanosti varijabli sa Hi-kvadrat testom i pragom statističke značajnosti p

For centuries, etiological considerations in medicine have been dominated by the dualism of psychological and physical. Engel's forty-year-old concept of biopsychosocial cause laid the foundation for a holistic approach that acknowledges the biological, social and psychological factors in the origin of every disease. However, in practice and educational programs of medical professionals, the biological approach actually prevails. Family medicine doctors (FMDs) have a greater ability to recognize and appreciate the psychosocial dimensions of a disease compared to secondary level doctors who are otherwise more inclined to a particular, biological approach. They are, therefore, key factors in the realization of a biopsychosocial approach which implies treatment that will include a social and psychological component, in addition to the biological one. This includes referring patients with somatic diseases to some form of psychological treatment. We contacted employees and concessionaires of the Primorje-Gorski Kotar County Health Centre in order to examine the attitudes towards psychological treatment methods of FMDs and to what extent they refer their somatic patients to them. The following instruments were used in the research: the General Demographic Data Questionnaire, two short questionnaires structured for the purposes of this study and the Attitudes Toward Seeking Professional Psychological Help Scale - Short Form (ATSPPH-SF). The results show that FMDs have positive personal attitudes in reference to seeking professional psychological help, regardless of gender and years of service. Despite this, somatic patients are only sometimes referred to a psychiatrist or for psychological treatment, and rarely to self-help groups. Referral does not depend on attitudes towards seeking psychological help and attending training in psychological treatment methods, but is positively related to years of service. Over 50% of referrals to psychiatrists and for psychological treatments refer to patients with undifferentiated somatic symptoms, followed by gastrointestinal, malignant and cardiovascular diseases. Doctors mostly refer patients with malignant diseases to selfhelp groups (30.5%), followed by gastrointestinal, neurological and rheumatic diseases. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background/Aim. Good undergraduate education is necessary to overcome the reluctance of dentists to use the rubber dam (RD). The aim of the study was to assess dental students' knowledge, training skills, attitudes, and opinions concerning the use of RD in order to isolate an operation field. Methods. A 34-item original questionnaire was distributed to 130 final-year students of the Faculty of Dental Medicine, University of Belgrade. The questions were divided into four segments: general information, RD-related knowledge and training skills, opinions and attitudes regarding the use of RD, and opinions on the intended future use of RD. Results. All students confirmed that they had theoretical lessons about RD and that its advantages were pointed out. During practical courses, 34% of students observed RD placement and 10% of them placed RD on their own or with assistance. Most (88%) of the students did not feel capable of using RD on their own. Less than half of the students (38%) believed that adequate isolation of the operating field is possible without RD. Sixty-four percent of students considered that RD was not uncomfortable for the patients. More than half of the students were willing to use RD in their future practice. Almost all of them planned to gain additional postgraduate training with RD. Conclusion. Students have solid theoretical knowledge about RD; they are aware of its importance and have a positive attitude toward RD use. However, their practical training and skills are poor and insufficient for independent RD use in order to isolate an operation field. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Jedna od najvažnijih društvenih djelatnosti i odgovornosti je osigurati djeci od najranijeg uzrasta mogućnosti za kvalitetno vaspitanje i obrazovanje. Jedno od najznačajnijih pitanja u funkcionisanju predškolske ustanove jeste i pitanje otvorenosti prema društvenoj sredini i uspostavljanje partnerskih odnosa sa njom. Predškolska ustanova i programi koji se u njoj primjenjuju imaju efekta na razvoj djece samo onda kada se zajedno sa programom angažuju i roditelji i cjelokupna društvena sredina. Cilj istraživanja sprovedenog na prigodnom uzorku od 41 ispitanika zaposlenog u predškolskim ustanovama bio je ispitati kakve stavove imaju o povezivanju predškolskih institucija sa društvenom sredinom koju čine različite institucije i organizacije. Za potrebe istraživanja korištena je deskriptivna metoda. Naše polazno očekivanje o postojanju statistički značajnih razlika u stavovima ispitanika o realizaciji saradnje sa ustanovama/organizacijama iz društvene sredine, kao i realizaciji aktivnosti na polju saradnje sa porodicom, s obzirom na neka obilježja ispitanika pokazalo se tačnim. Dobijeni rezultati pokazuju da ispitanici u vrtićima opažaju visok stepen saradnje sa ustanovama kulture, ali i nedostatak neophodne saradnje sa ustanovama iz oblasti zdravstvene zaštite. Takođe, ispitanici smatraju da su u predškolskim ustanovama najzastupljeniji tradicionalni oblici saradnje sa porodicom, a u manjoj mjeri savremeni oblici saradnje. U budućnosti je neophodno intenzivnije povezivanje predškolskih ustanova sa društvenom sredinom jer se tako djeci pruža mogućnost za proširivanje i bogaćenje iskustava u neposrednom susretu sa svijetom koji ih okružuje.

The organic food market is constantly growing, while organic yoghurt belongs to the category of the best-selling organic products in the dairy products group. The aim of this study was to determine consumer behaviour in the purchase and consumption of organic yoghurt, attitudes concerning organic yoghurt, and motives for organic yoghurt purchase. An online survey was conducted among organic yoghurt buyers. More than a third of respondents buy and consume organic yoghurt two to three times a month. Respondents buy most often organic yoghurt made from cow’s milk, in plastic packaging, in supermarkets and specialty stores. The most important motives for buying organic yoghurt are health, nutritional value, and food safety. Respondents have positive attitudes about organic yoghurt. The results of this research are useful for organic food producers (especially organic yoghurt producers) in planning and improving production, and also for food marketing experts in designing and implementing promotional activities.

Slovenia makes a compelling case for care policy analysis since it is marked by extreme dichotomy in care. Therefore, placing Slovenia on a continuum of care regimes ranging from defamilialised to familialised with respect to care is difficult, with care for children being highly defamilialised, and care for older people highly familialised. The country’s childcare policies build on a historically well-developed system of public childcare provision and generous leave policies, together with a well-developed social protection system targeting families. These have been retained and, in some cases, were expanded, still following the 2009 economic crisis, certain austerity measures were introduced. On the other hand, care policies for older people started to develop later and after the initial growth they relatively stagnated (especially the social homecare system). A comprehensive long-term care system has yet to be developed and become a subject of ongoing political debates. Further, unlike in childcare, the increasing role of private actors can be observed in this sector. In the article, we discuss these care policy developments in Slovenia in terms of the role of relevant actors (state, family, private actors) with an emphasis on the views of people regarding care, based on data gathered within an innovative method of democratic forums. The article reveals that the dichotomy of care policies, as well as the differing recent trends in family policies for children and care for older people, is not present in people’s attitudes and their preferences for the arrangement of such policies.

The paper discusses the understanding of marriage and forms of partnerships in the late modern society, based on data from a survey of students’ attitudes at the University of Rijeka (N = 635). The results reveal ambivalent attitudes about traditional marriage among respondents. Although students reject the idea that every marriage, even a bad one, is superior to other forms of partnerships, the vast majority of them plan to get married in the future. Cohabitation is acceptable to most students and they intend to practise it, but only as a temporary stage before marriage. Attitudes toward traditional marriage and the acceptability of cohabitation were found to be more strongly correlated with the respondents’ overall assessment of how important is it for them to marry than with the assessment of their own future behavior in transition to marriage and parenthood. Religious self-identification is a variable that influences both respondents’ attitudes about traditional marriage and cohabitation and their perception of their own transition to marriage more strongly than other sociodemographic variables. Nevertheless, it has been shown that its effect is greater on the aforementioned attitudes of students than on their perception of their own transition to marriage in the future.

Counterproductive work behaviors (CWBs) are harmful behaviors that are detrimental to financial success of organizations while also harming the psychological well-being and productivity of employees. Personality traits are one of the main determinants of CWB, but research on the relationship between personality traits and CWB has mainly focused on the conscious/explicit aspects of personality. Also, only a small number of studies has considered the psychological mechanisms through which the personality traits affect CWB. This paper includes an overview of research on the relationship between personality and CWB, and, compared to previous reviews, also considers how unconscious/implicit aspects of personality can help in explaining CWB. I focus on the method for measuring implicit aspects of personality that showed the greatest potential for predicting work behavior - the Conditional Reasoning Test. In the rest of the paper, I consider the psychological mechanisms by which explicit and implicit aspects of personality affect CWB, using attitudes toward work and organization and emotions in the workplace as variables that explain the relationship between personality traits and CWB. Finally, based on a review of research on the relationships of personality, attitudes, emotions, and CWB, I develop a theoretical model of the relationship of these four variables, which facilitates understanding of the complex psychological mechanisms by which implicit and explicit aspects of personality lead to CWB.
