That Finding May Not Apply Here! Lessons from Teaching Developmental Psychology in Non-WEIRD Contexts
No full textDevelopmental psychology, like psychology more broadly, relies disproportionately on the ideas
and data coming from Western, Educated, Industrialised, Rich, Democratic (i.e. WEIRD)
contexts compared to the rest of the world, resulting in a skewed perspective on human
development. Teaching developmental psychology outside of WEIRD contexts provides an
opportunity to question the generalizability of the findings and ideas dominant in contemporary
developmental psychology, as well as the way these topics are treated in textbooks and
curricula used to train students in both WEIRD and non-WEIRD contexts. This chapter
showcases examples of WEIRD biases in developmental psychology literature and curricula,
discusses some sources of these biases, and offers ideas for teachers who wish to provide a
more balanced overview of the field to their students and equip them with skills to identify
potential biases in developmental psychology and more broadly
Doing conferences differently: A decentralised multi-hub approach for ecological and social sustainability
No full textConferences are invaluable for career progression, offering unique opportunities for networking, collaboration, and learning. However, there are challenges associated with the traditional in-person conference format. For example, there is a significant ecological impact from attendees’ travel behaviour, and there are social inequities in conference attendance, with historically marginalised groups commonly facing barriers to participation. Innovative practices that enable academic conferences to be ‘done differently’ are crucial for addressing these ecological and social sustainability challenges. However, while some such practices have emerged in recent years, largely due to the COVID-19 pandemic, little research has been done on their effectiveness. Our study addresses this gap using a mixed methods approach to analyse a real-world decentralised multi-hub conference held in 2023, comparing it to traditional in-person conference and fully online conference scenarios. The decentralised multi-hub format consists of local in-person hubs in different locations around the world, each with a unique local programme developed around a shared core global programme; there is no single centralised point of control. We calculated the CO2 emissions from transport for each scenario and found the decentralised multi-hub conference had significantly lower emissions than a traditional in-person conference, but higher emissions than a fully online conference. We also interviewed 14 local hub organisers and attendees to gain their perspectives about the ecological and social sustainability benefits of the decentralised multi-hub format. We found that the more accessible and inclusive format attracted a more diverse range of attendees, meaning that the benefits attributed to conference attendance were able to be shared more equitably. These findings demonstrate the ecological and social sustainability benefits of doing conferences differently, and can be used as further evidence in the argument to help transition conferences to a more desirable state in terms of ecological and social sustainability
Coffee Shortage in Socialist Yugoslavia During the Economic Crisis: Economic and Systemic Causes
No full textU ovom radu analizirana je nestašica kafe koja je zadesila Jugoslaviju u vreme ekonomske krize osamdesetih godina. Fokus rada je na ekonomskim i sistemskim uzrocima koji su doveli do manjka ove veoma popularne robe u Jugoslaviji, kao što su nedostatak deviza, sistemska promena uvoza, vezivanje uvoza kafe za izvoz domaće robe, parcelizacija jugoslovenskog tržišta, neregulisano pitanje nadležnosti cena, kao i logističke kompliakcije uvoza iz više desetina zemalja. U radu se takođe daje kratak osvrt na posledice do kojih su ove nestašice dovele, kao što su potrošačka histerija, stvaranje zaliha, crna berza, preprodaja i šverc.This paper analyzes the coffee shortage that hit socialist Yugoslavia during the economic crisis of the 1980s. It focuses on the economic and
systemic causes that led to the shortage of this very popular commodity in
socialist Yugoslavia, such as the lack of foreign currency, changes of the import system, tying the import of coffee to the export of domestic goods, parcelization of the Yugoslav market, the unregulated question of price jurisdiction, as well as logistical complications of imports from dozens of countries. The paper also briefly reviews the social consequences that were created by those shortages, such as consumer hysteria, hoarding, the black
market, reselling and smuggling

No full textSocio-Politically Conscious Individuals’ Understanding of the Interplay Between Ideology and Obstetric Violence
No full textObstetric violence is a prominent form of violence in Serbian healthcare settings, exemplifying the politicization of the body, where ideology and traumatic experiences intertwine. The aim of our paper was to explore this interdependence of inner processes and ideological structures. We therefore applied the framework of the Möbius strip model to explore how socio-politically conscious individuals understand the interplay of ideology, practice, and victims’ experience in
the context of obstetric violence. We purposely sampled 11 young adults (7 male; aged 26-34) based on the following criteria: they were either members of a political organization or had an academic interest in politics; they were familiar with obstetric violence but had no personal experience with it. We conducted semi-structured, in-depth interviews and analyzed their responses using thematic analysis. Results are organized into three broad themes – Hegemony of Ideology, Paradoxes of Ideology and Lack of Ideology. Our participants recognize the relationship between ideology and the experience of obstetric violence. However, they
predominantly focus on one side of the Möbius strip. Namely, they identify important narratives that perpetuate violence, at the same time failing to reflect on how these
narratives interact with women’s subjective experiences.31st International Scientific Conference Empirical Studies in Psychology, Faculty Of Philosophy, University Of Belgrade, March 28-31, 2025. - Preliminarna verzija saopštenja u celin
Fragmented Solidarity? Reflections on Queer Participation in the 2024/2025 Student Protests in Serbia
No full textThis article examines the experiences of queer students during the 2024/2025 student protests in Serbia, with a focus on how solidarity and identity were negotiated within the broader mobilization. Drawing on eight narrative interviews with LGBTIQ+ students, the study uses concepts from the social movement and identity control theories (ICT) to analyze the interplay between political participation, recognition, and identity verification. Findings suggest that queer students experienced solidarity in fragmented ways. While the student identity emerged as a strong unifying factor, the expression of LGBTIQ+ identities was more complex. A shared student role often fostered a strong sense of belonging, but solidarity was not uniformly experienced. Although based on their sexual or gender identity within the student movement many described a strong sense of belonging, queer identities were sometimes sidelined – particularly when they were not explicitly acknowledged in protest actions, slogans, or symbols such as banners and flags. Solidarity, in this context, should not be understood as a fixed or purely political ideal – it is shaped by lived experiences and structural conditions in the Serbian society. This research is significant for exploring the position of marginalized groups within the Serbian protest movement and for informing future queer engagement in collective action
Imigracije između potreba i strahova – Stavovi građana Srbije prema imigrantima
No full textThis paper aims to examine the attitudes of the Serbian population toward immigration in the context of depopulation and labor shortages, which are becoming more significant problems. Depopulation in Serbia, as well as throughout Europe, represents one of the most pressing problems of contemporary society. According to the latest census in 2022, Serbia has entered the final stage of population aging, which, along with low fertility rates observed since 1970, brings about many social issues. Additionally, there is a noticeable emigration rate of young, working-aged people, which affects the narrowing of this group, which is crucial for revitalizing society and the population. The problem arising from this unfavorable population trend, aside from the issue of its renewal, is the lack of workforce. This first became evident in manual labor jobs and those in lower social positions, and now there is an increasing number of foreigners occupying such roles in Serbia. It is expected that similar trends will emerge in all sectors of employment. Developed countries in Western Europe and the United States have responded to depopulation and the threat of labor shortages by developing migration policies that encourage immigration, primarily from countries that form the geopolitical semi-periphery. This raises the question of the justification and feasibility of such policies in Serbia. Aside from various other challenges, such as the attractiveness of Serbia to foreigners, there is also the question of the readiness of the Serbian population to integrate foreigners. Encouraged by this, we will analyze several dimensions of attitudes towards migrants, such as feelings of the economic and symbolic threat posed by immigrants, and willingness to allow different types of immigrants into the country, and preferred criteria for accepting migrants. For this purpose, we will use data from the 9th, 10th, and 11th rounds of the European Social Survey.Osnovni cilj rada je analiza stavova stanovništva Srbije prema imigracijama i to u kontekstu sve izraženije depopulacije i nedostatka radne snage.
Depopulacija u Srbiji, ali i u Evropi, predstavlja jedan od najvažnijih problema u ovom trenutku. Srbija se, prema poslednjem popisu stanovništva iz 2022.
godine, nalazi u završnoj fazi starenja stanovništva, što, uz niske stope fertiliteta zabeležene još od 1970. godine, pokreće mnoga važna pitanja. Dodatno,
Srbija se suočava i sa izraženom emigracijom mladih, koji čine značajan udeo
radno sposobnog stanovništva, što dalje utiče na smanjenje ove kategorije koja
je ključna za revitalizaciju ukupnog stanovništva. Nepovoljno kretanje stanovništva ne utiče samo na obnavljanje stanovništva, već ima značajne i dalekosežne posledice na tržište rada u vidu nedostatka radne snage. Takve posledice
su najvidljivije u nedostatku kvalifikovanih i niskokvalifikovanih kadrova i sve
češćem okretanju ka uvozu inostrane radne snage. Razvijene zemlje Zapadne
Evrope i SAD odgovorile su na depopulaciju i nedostatak radne snage kreiranjem migracionih politika koje podstiču imigraciju, pre svega iz zemalja koje
čine geopolitičku poluperiferiju. U skladu sa tim, postavlja se pitanje opravdanosti i izvodljivosti takve politike u Srbiji. Pored raznih izazova, poput privlačnosti Srbije strancima, postavlja se i pitanje spremnosti stanovništva u Srbiji da
prihvati strance. Podstaknuti ovim pitanjem, u radu ćemo analizirati nekoliko
dimenzija odnosa domaćeg stanovništva prema imigrantima. Biće analizirana
osećanja ekonomske i simboličke pretnje koju predstavljaju imigranti i spremnost da se omogući dolazak različitih tipova imigranata (iste ili slične, kao i
različite etničke/rasne grupe). Analiza će biti zasnovana na podacima 9, 10. i 11.

Nastavničke kompetencije za ostvarivanje odgojne funkcije nastave
No full textU posljednjim desetljećima svijet prolazi kroz brojne socijalne, ekonomske i znanstveno-tehnološke promjene, što se
odražava i na očekivanja koje društvo ima od obrazovnog sustava, ali i od nastavnika kao ključnih aktera kvalitetnog
obrazovanja. Kako bi obrazovni sustav mogao pratiti i odgovarati na aktualno stanje i kontinuirane promjene koje
se događaju u različitim kontekstima, nužno je da zaposlenici u odgojno-obrazovnim ustanovama razvijaju teorijska
i praktična znanja i vještine, profesionalnu neovisnost te kritičko mišljenje koje će im omogućiti procjenu i evaluaciju
vlastitih aktivnosti, kao i autonomiju u donošenju odluka. Cilj istraživanja bio je ispitati perspektive nastavnika o vlastitim
kompetencijama za ostvarivanje odgojne funkcije nastave. Uzorak istraživanja činilo je 56 nastavnika osnovnih i
srednjih škola s područja Republike Srbije. Za potrebe istraživanja kreiran je upitnik koji je sadržavao pitanja otvorenog
i zatvorenog tipa, putem kojih su nastavnici mogli procijeniti razinu razvijenosti vlastitih kompetencija za ostvarivanje
odgojne funkcije nastave te navesti načine na koje su ih razvijali. Većina nastavnika procijenila je da su njihove
kompetencije djelomično razvijene (N=37), dok je samo jedan nastavnik procijenio da su njegove kompetencije
potpuno nerazvijene. Na pitanje o načinima razvijanja vlastitih kompetencija za ostvarivanje odgojne funkcije nastave,
nastavnici su imali mogućnost višestrukog izbora odgovora. Rezultati pokazuju da su nastavnici vlastite kompetencije
prvenstveno razvijali kroz samu nastavnu praksu (N=42), kao i kroz različite oblike stručnog usavršavanja (N=25), dok
su ih u manjoj mjeri razvijali kroz inicijalno obrazovanje (N=14). Implikacije ovog istraživanja odnose se na potrebu
promjene pristupa inicijalnom obrazovanju nastavnika. Prvenstveno se ističe potreba za unaprjeđenjem postojećih
programa za obrazovanje budućih nastavnika kako bi pridonijeli izgradnji identiteta nastavnika kao autonomnog i
refleksivnog praktičara. Ova bi se promjena mogla ostvariti prelaskom sa sukcesivnog modela obrazovanja nastavnika
na simultani model, unutar kojega bi se istovremeno razvijale kompetencije nastavnika za predmetno područje i
kompetencije za ostvarivanje odgojne funkcije nastave.Doktorska konferencija za doktorande poslijediplomskih doktorskih

From Plenum to Lottocracy: Is Student Movement Ready for Randomly Selected Representatives?
No full textStudentski pokret se služi repertoarom političkih akcija koje prevazilaze granice političke participacije tradicionalne za liberalne predstavničke demokratije, na šta ukazuje oslanjanje na direktnu demokratiju i naglasak na deliberativnim procesima, kao i nepostojanje prepoznatljivih vođa pokreta. Ipak, studentski zahtevi ne izlaze van ideološkog okvira vladavine prava kao osnove modernog demokratskog sistema. Postavlja se pitanje, da li se studentsko organizovanje može tumačiti kao forma prefigurativne politike koja razotkriva manjkavosti predstavničkog sistema i otvara put njegovim alternativama? Cilj ovog rada je dvojak. Prvo, ispitaćemo hipotezu da se mnogi studenti koji učestvuju u blokadi suočavaju sa problemom koji se ogleda u tome da zapravo žele zaokret ka direktnoj demokratiji na nacionalnom nivou. Međutim, izazovi u primeni ovakvog oblika donošenja odluka u većim zajednicama ih odvraćaju od zahteva za njegovom širom primenom. Prikupićemo podatke putem upitnika i intervjua sa studentima u blokadi i analizirati medijski sadržaj kako bismo ispitali na koji način studenti razumeju procedure odlučivanja kojima se koriste, kao i da li veruju da će izabrani predstavnici, bez obzira na partijsku pripadnost ili njen izostanak, ispuniti njihove zahteve.
Drugo, ponudićemo izlaz iz opisanog problema u kom se studentski pokret nalazi, oslanjajući se na ideju lotokratije. To je politički sistem u kojem desetine žrebom izabranih zakonodavnih tela sa izvršnim ovlašćenjima, fokusiranih na pojedinačna pitanja, zamenjuju zakonodavnu i izvršnu vlast. Lotokratija eliminiše mnoge nedostatke koji su inherentni izbornoj demokratiji i usko je povezana sa razlozima nastanka studentskog pokreta, uključujući nemogućnost građana da pozovu izabranu elitu na odgovornost, zarobljenost medija i ekstremnu stranačku polarizaciju. Tvrdimo da lotokratija predstavlja obećavajuću demokratsku inovaciju koja odgovara na studentsku kritiku izborne demokratije i potrebu za procesima odlučivanja koji mogu funkcionisati na nacionalnom nivou.The student movement employs a repertoire of political actions that
extend beyond the framework of political participation traditionally associated with liberal representative democracies. This is evident in its reliance on direct democracy, emphasis on deliberative processes, and the
absence of identifiable leaders. However, the students’ demands remain
within the ideological framework of the rule of law as the foundation of
modern democratic systems. This raises the question: Can student organizing be interpreted as a form of prefigurative politics that exposes the
shortcomings of the representative system and paves the way for alternatives? The aim of this paper is twofold. First, we will explore the hypothesis that many students participating in the blockade indeed desire a shift
toward direct democracy on a national scale. However, the challenge of
scaling up this form of decision-making deters them from pursuing it
fully. Through questionnaires, interviews with protesting students, and
media content analysis, we examine their views on the decision-making
procedures they employ and their confidence that elected representatives
– regardless of party affiliation or lack thereof – will fulfil their demands.
Second, we will offer a way out of the stalemate in which we argue the
student movement currently finds itself, drawing on the idea of lottocracy.
This is a political system in which dozens of single-issue, lottery-selected
legislatures with executive powers should replace the legislative and executive branches of government. Lottocracy prevents many of the shortcomings inherent to electoral democracy and closely resonate with the reasons
for the emergence of the student movement, including the inability of citizens to elected elites accountable, media capture, and extreme partisanship
that leads to ever-increasing polarisation. We argue that lottocracy offers a
promising democratic innovation, accommodating both students’ critique
of electoral democracy and the need for decision-making processes that
can function at a national level.Naučna konferencija Studentski protesti 2024/25: BloKADA, ako ne SADA?, Beograd, 22. i 23. novembar 2025., Saopštenje štampano u izvod
