Kad škola radi bim bam bam: Podrška socioemocionalnom učenju učenika
U školi učimo kako misliti, ali učimo i kako osećati i kako graditi odnose. Istovremeno, istraživanja ukazuju
da su socioemocionalne kompetencije značajne, kako za školska, tako i za vanškolska postignuća. U ovom radu
ćemo predstaviti kako učenici ocenjuju razvijenost sopstvenih socioemocionalnih kompetencija, ali i kako ocenjuju zastupljenost tehnika za podršku socioemocionalnom učenju u školi. U istraživanju je učestvovalo 316
učenika i učenica iz pet osnovnih škola u Srbiji. Za prikupljanje podataka korišćene su dve supskale Delaver
upitnika – Skala za samoprocenu socioemocionalnih kompetencija i Skala za procenu tehnika za podršku socioemocionalnom učenju. Nalazi ukazuju da postoji statistički značajna povezanost između učeničke procene
zastupljenosti pozitivnih tehnika podrške SEU u školskom okruženju i samoprocene socioemocionalnih kompetencija. Zabeleženo je da što su učenici stariji, to nižim procenjuju razvijenost sopstvenih socioemocionalnih
kompetencija. Takođe, učenici viših razreda, u poređenju sa učenicima nižih razreda, procenjuju da su pozitivno
orijentisane tehnike za podršku SEU manje, a tehnike kažnjavanja više zastupljene u školskom okruženju. Nalazi
sugerišu da je potrebno osnaživanje nastavnika za podršku socioemocionalnom učenju učenika, ali i da je pri
planiranju podrške neophodno uzeti u obzir uzrast učenika
When Our History Meets Their History: Strategies Young People in Serbia Use to Coordinate Conflicting Group Narratives
When a multiethnic state, such as the former Yugoslavia, dissolves in a violent ethnic-based conflict, new generations grow up on one-sided historical narratives. While there is plenty of evidence of how appropriating such narratives delegitimizes outgroups, studies on how young people coordinate diverse group narratives are lacking. To address this issue, we explored promotive strategies young majority group members use in building a more inclusive historical understanding of two conflicting (majority and minority) narratives. The sample consisted of ten pairs of ethnic Serb high school seniors with a task to jointly build one common narrative out of two one-sided narratives adapted from post-conflict textbooks of majority (Serb) and minority (Bosniak) ethnic groups. We used step-by-step dialogical analysis of semantic promoters in participants' interactions to capture how ingroup and outgroup perspectives are collaboratively positioned. Our results suggest participants use various cognitive, affective, identity and value-based strategies to coordinate conflicting perspectives. The identified promotive strategies can help in developing evidence-based educational materials and teaching environments, especially in post-conflict and divided societies
Жаркий август 1913 на Балканах и Сербия
В статье представлена ситуация на Балканах сразу после заключения Бухарестского мира, положившего конец Второй балканской войне, и до конца августа 1913 г. через призму сербской внешней политики. Очень важна в этом контексте позиция великих держав относительно как самого договора, так и инициатив его ревизии, что затрагивало в том
числе новоприсоединенные сербские области. В статье рассматриваются отношения Сербии с соседними государствами, дается оценка того, как на них в позитивном и негативном ключе повлияли Балканские войны, каковы были их долгосрочные последствия. Работа основывается на документах из российских и сербских архивов, опубликованных источниках, периодике, воспоминаниях, дневниках и научной литературе
"Silence of the labs" - how widespread is support for replicating ethically controversial psychological studies and is it higher in people with scientistic beliefs
Uncritical trust in science and scientists may potentially weaken people’s ability to weigh
the costs and benefits of scientific research, biasing them towards accepting greater costs
in the name of scientific progress. Based on this assumption, we tested if people with
stronger scientistic beliefs also have more positive attitudes towards ethically
controversial experiments. Participants (N = 205 psychology students, women 171,
Mage=20.92, SDage=3.45; N = 217 online community members, 142 women, Mage =39.13,
SDage =11.79) evaluated the need for replication of three seminal psychological studies:
Milgram's obedience to authority, Watson and Reiner's emotional conditioning (Little
Albert), and Seligman's learned helplessness experiment. They rated their justification
and usefulness, if they would grant them ethical permission, and willingness to
participate in replications, each by using a 5-point Likert scale. Results showed
psychology students were least negative towards replicating Milgram's experiment, with
41.5% deeming it justified, 44.9% finding it useful, 35.1% willing to grant ethical
permission, and 21.5% willing to participate. They were most negative towards Little
Albert's experiment, with only 13.7% deeming it justified, 30.7% finding it useful, 4.4%
willing to grant ethical permission, and 3.4% to participate in it. Online community
members were even less critical of these studies: 52.5% deemed Milgram's experiment
as justified, 60.4% found it useful, 51.2% were willing to grant ethical permission, and
41% were willing to participate. However, they shared a similarly negative attitude
towards the “Little Albert” experiment, with only 14.7% deeming it justified, 22.7%
finding it useful, 11.5% willing to grant ethical permission, and 9.2% to participate in it.
Unexpectedly, scientistic beliefs did not significantly correlate with attitudes toward
replication in either sample. This could be because general social attitudes or personality
traits (e.g. social dominance orientation, dark tetrad) rather than beliefs about science,
shape attitudes towards ethically controversial experiments, but it could also be that
scientistic beliefs are more related to natural sciences, and the effect would be observed
for experiments in that domain.International Scientific Psychology Conference - 24th Psychology Days, 23.-25.May 202
Several types of manna and their use in the writings of the Hilandar medical codex
Предмет рада су лековите врсте мане у виду сахаринске излучевине
више врста дрвећа, које се јављају у списима старосрпског лекарског зборника познатог
под називом Хиландарски медицински кодекс бр. 517 (средина 16. века). Лековите
врсте мане присутне су првенствено у списима који потичу из Канона медицине, дела
чувеног персијског лекара Авицене (980–1037). Ови списи преведени су на старосрпски
посредством латинског превода Канона, насталог крајем 12. века у Толеду од стране
Герарда из Кремоне. Поједине врсте мане спомињу се и у спису о једноставним лековима
ХМК, који представља превод Circa Instans, чувене фармакопеје школе у Салерну из друге
половине 12. века. У раду су идентификоване и представљене све врсте мане које се
јављају у текстовима ХМК, укључујући и њихову примену у оквиру терапија за више
болести. Указано је на њихова својства и особине у складу с тадашњим схватањима
медицине. Одређена пажња посвећена је и лековима који се јављају у комбинацији с
маном.The subject of the paper is medicinal types of manna in the form of saccharine
exudates of various types of trees, which appear in the writings of the Old Serbian medical codex
known as the Hilandar Medical Codex No. 517 (mid-16th century). Medicinal types of manna
primarily appear in the writings from the Canon of Medicine, the work of the famous Persian physician Avicenna (980–1037). These treatises were translated into Old Serbian through a
Latin translation of the Canon, which was created at the end of the 12th century in Toledo, by
Gerard of Cremona. Some types of manna are also present in the List of Simple Remedies of
the HMC, which represents a translation of the Circa Instans, the famous pharmacopoeia of the
Salerno school from the second half of the 12th century. The paper identifies and presents all
types of manna found in the texts of the HMC, including their application within therapies for
various diseases. Their properties and characteristics are indicated following the understanding
of medicine at that time, alongside attention given to remedies that appear combined with manna
Comparing citizenship competence assessment frameworks: similarities and distinctions in Serbia's educational context
Citizenship competence has gained priority status on the education policy
agendas in Europe over the past three decades. The two most influential
operationalizations of citizenship competence are the International
Civic and Citizenship Education Study (ICCS) by the IEA and the more
recent PISA (Programme for International Student Assessment) Global
Competence by the OECD. While both frameworks focus on students’
global and civic participation, ICCS emphasizes national and international
civic knowledge and engagement, whereas PISA targets intercultural
understanding and critical engagement with global issues. The
complementarity of these operationalizations has been underresearched.
Therefore, we aimed to test the complementarity of ICCS items and
PISA Global Competence items. More precisely, we explored whether
citizenship education items used in the two international studies measure
the same dimension and, if so, whether they measure the same or different levels of the dimension. We set our study in the educational context of
Serbia, in which citizenship education has existed as an elective course
once per week since 2001. In the most recent ICCS and PISA cycles,
students in Serbia were significantly below the overall average on
citizenship and global competence. Our sample comprised 620 students
from Belgrade general and vocational high schools (aged 16-18). We
selected 23 PISA 2018 items and 24 ICCS 2009, 2016, and 2022 items
targeting more complex cognitive processes like reasoning and applying.
The results confirmed both our hypotheses. Not only did citizenship
competence items from ICCS and PISA studies measure one dimension,
but they also measured the same levels of the common dimension. Our
findings provide further evidence for the factor and convergent validity
of the citizenship competence construct and complement other studies
showing the measurement invariance of ICCS items. In this paper, we
discuss how citizenship competence measured within these assessment
frameworks relates to citizenship education aims and the actual school
practice
Assessing Personality Pathology in Adolescence: Integrating Expert Opinion, Self-Report, and Subjective Experiences in a Serbian Cohort
In recent years, adolescent mental health has emerged as a
significant public concern in Serbia, prompting efforts to improve
access to psychological support and professional training in the
field. Despite these strides, the challenge of addressing personality
pathology among adolescents persists. There is no standardized
protocol for assessment and treatment of personality disorders in
adolescence, and those with personality disorder features are
generally seen as ineligible for diagnosis prior to adulthood.

Moreover, empirical data on this issue are notably absent within
the Serbian context. This study protocol outlines an exploratory
research project on the topic, consisting of three studies. The
primary objective of Study 1 is to investigate the attitudes and
experiences of child/adolescent mental health experts on early
diagnosis and treatment of personality disorders. Data will be
gathered from approximately 10 participants via a semi-structured
interview specifically designed for the study. Study 2 will consist of
Serbian translation, modification and validation of a self-report
measure Levels of Personality Functioning Questionnaire (LoPF-Q
12-18). Sample will include participants aged 12 to 18 from general
population (N=300) and those in current inpatient/outpatient
psychiatric treatment (N=60). The aim of Study 3 is to explore
subjective experiences of identity, object relations and affect
regulation of adolescents with highest and lowest levels of
personality functioning, based on LoPF-Q 12-18 scores from Study
2. Data will be collected from 50 participants using the Interview of
Personality Organization Processes in Adolescence (IPOP-A). This
research project represents a comprehensive effort to address the
pressing issue of adolescent personality pathology within the
Serbian context. By exploring expert perspectives, validating
assessment tools, and delving into the subjective experiences of
adolescents, it aims to contribute valuable insights on the current
practice and improve early detection of personality disorders,
ultimately fostering better mental health outcomes for this
vulnerable population in Serbia
Evaluation of community-based mental health support to long-term psychiatric users: a qualitative study
Although many advances are made at the level of national mental health strategies and policies
that advocate for the transition from predominantly in-patient treatment to the establishment of
community-based services in line with a recovery model approach, Serbian mental health care
system is still focused on the medical model, hospital-based treatment and the provision of
pharmacotherapy. Availability of outpatient and community-based care is very limited, and
there is a lack of empirical evaluation of existing programs and services. Our study aimed at
assessing experiences, (unmet) needs, resources and challenges of people with severe mental
health disorders that are both long-term psychiatric users and users of the community-based
mental health services in order to support the development of these services tailored to their
needs and the specificities of the local context. We performed semi-structured interviews with
11 participants recruited from a community-based center for psychosocial support in Belgrade
(9m and 2f), aged 26-65 (M = 48.5), diagnosed with a psychotic disorder, and using psychiatric
services for decades (11-57 years). Interviews were transcribed and analyzed relying on the
principles of thematic analysis (Braun & Clarke, 2006). Findings indicate that existing
community-based mental health services contribute to the wellbeing and quality of life of
psychiatric users by: a) providing meaning and structure through creative and occupational
activities; b) enabling lasting relationships and continuous support, especially with peers; and
c) helping them establish and maintain control over their functioning and affirm their sense of
agency through active engagement in the programs. The most relevant unmet needs identified
point to possible direction of improvement of existing services: a) enabling a greater continuity
and availability of support, especially peer support, by establishing and sustaining community
mental-health centres open to psychiatric users; b) offering more diversified and individualized
psychological support services; c) providing support in solving practical, work and financial
difficulties by offering multi-sector services.30th Scientific Conference “Empirical Studies in Psychology”, March 22–24, Faculty of Philosophy, University of Belgrade, Serbia-Abstract
SPATTERN Review of Methodological Approaches
The subject lexicographic monograph is the result of work on the first project task within the SPATTERN project. This outcome is, by its nature, a scientific-lexicographic publication, specifically a dictionary accompanied by methodological explanations at the intersection of urban morphology and digital technologies. The publication comprises 30 terms grouped into 4 clusters, curated by a multidisciplinary team of 11 researchers from the University of Belgrade - Faculty of Architecture, Faculty of Organizational Sciences, and Faculty of Philosophy. The publication represents the first comprehensive dictionary in this field, which simultaneously presents and defines 4 groups of terms and establishes relationships between them
Into the Woods: Wild Animals and Hunting in Medieval Serbian Lands
During the Middle Ages (between the 12–15th c. AD) hunting was a privilege and
a necessity. In medieval society, this activity was an obligation of the lower class and the main
form of entertainment for noblemen, but also an opportunity for practicing and staying in shape
during times of peace, which provided rich feasts as well. According to historical records, Serbia
abounded with forests and numerous wild animal species. Therefore, hunting was very important
throughout the Middle Ages and has not lost its significance for centuries. Evidence of hunting
and the presence of some wild animals in Serbia was preserved in different historical records
– written sources, fresco paintings, tombstone representations, etc. In addition, archaeological
finds made from game bones and faunal assemblages from different sites complete the picture
of the importance of wild animals. This paper summarises information gathered from different
historical records, iconographic representations, and the results of zooarchaeological analyses to
provide insight into hunting practices and the crucial role played by wild animals in medieval
Serbia
