Rivalry negatively predicts forgiveness : Polish adaptation of the Trait Forgiveness Scale and longitudinal associations with the narcissistic admiration and rivalry concept
No full textNarcissism, a core component of the Dark Tetrad, is known for its antagonistic social manifestations, yet its bifurcation into admiration and rivalry provides a more refined lens on interpersonal functioning. This study investigates how these dimensions relate to trait forgiveness—a dispositional tendency to respond to interpersonal transgressions with benevolence—over time. A three-wave cross-lagged panel model spanning three-month intervals was employed with a non-clinical Polish sample (N = 170). Prior to hypothesis testing, the Trait Forgiveness Scale (TFS) was adapted and psychometrically validated in a separate Polish-speaking sample (N = 386), demonstrating satisfactory internal consistency and providing evidence of convergent validity. Longitudinal results showed that narcissistic rivalry consistently predicted lower trait forgiveness, establishing it as a stable relational risk factor. Narcissistic admiration, while not predictive of forgiveness, was associated with an increase in rivalry over time. These findings underscore the divergent social pathways of narcissistic subdimensions, highlighting rivalry's obstructive role in conciliatory behavior and the complex temporal dynamics between admiration and antagonism. The study also contributes a culturally adapted forgiveness measure suitable for Polish-speaking populations
Purpose and profit : Understanding consumer reactions to social enterprises in retail and services
No full textSocial enterprises have gained increasing attention in retail and consumer services due to their dual commitment to social impact (purpose) and financial sustainability (profit). Like any business venture, social enterprises need consumers in order to exist and survive. However, research on how consumers perceive and respond to social enterprises remains scarce. This article presents three experimental studies from retail and service-oriented contexts, which demonstrate that consumers exhibit more favorable behavioral intentions towards social enterprises as compared to for-profit organizations and for-profit companies with corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives. This effect was most pronounced among consumers with strong ethical values and motives. The findings showed that consumers perceive social enterprises as warmer, more moral, and – importantly – equally competent as for-profit companies, which enhances their affective responses and, ultimately, their behavioral intentions. These insights contribute to the literature on consumer reactions to alternative business models and offer managerial implications for retail and consumer services

No full textWhat does it take to buy in brick-and-mortar secondhand fashion stores? : A non-user segmentation with recommendations considering current secondhand retail trends
No full textSecondhand fashion retail is a critical driver of the global fashion industry's pressing sustainability transition, while also offering substantial economic market potential. Yet, a key growth segment has been largely overlooked: Non-users and their barriers to brick-and-mortar secondhand fashion retail. This paper aims to support the fashion industry in effectively segmenting and targeting non-user groups, thereby considering recent trends in the sector. Drawing on in-depth semi-structured interviews and an exploratory follow-up online survey among 27 non-users of brick-and-mortar secondhand retail, a novel non-user segmentation is proposed, which indicates distinct barriers of four non-user groups (i.e., unaware supporters, disillusioned supporters, skeptic hedonists, and skeptic outsiders). Moreover, the paper develops recommendations and store concepts for specific non-user groups and assesses the appeal of recent retail trends (e.g., luxury secondhand, kilo stores, mixed assortments) in targeting non-user groups. This study makes several contributions to the literature on diffusion of innovation, consumer adoption, and customer segmentation both within and beyond the context of secondhand retailing. Specifically, it provides novel insight into relevant non-user groups, enabling managers to identify and target non-user groups, and advances future research avenues
Sleep problems and daytime fatigue in a sample of fibromyalgia patients : a preliminary psychometric evaluation of the Scales for Outcomes in Parkinson’s (SCOPA) Sleep Scale
No full textObjective: This study evaluated the psychometric properties of the Scales for Outcomes in Parkinson’s Disease – Sleep Scale (SCOPA-Sleep) in a sample of patients with fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS), and examined the unique and interactive associations between sleep problems, daytime fatigue, and quality of life. Method: A total of 79 adults diagnosed with FMS according to the 2010 American College of Rheumatology criteria completed measures assessing sleep problems, daytime fatigue (SCOPA-Sleep), and health-related quality of life (EuroQOL-5D). Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and internal consistency analyses assessed the dimensionality and reliability of the SCOPA-Sleep. Multiple linear regression examined confounding and moderation effects of sleep problems and fatigue on quality of life, controlling for sociodemographic variables. Results: EFA supported a two-factor structure of the SCOPA-Sleep reflecting distinct subscales for nighttime sleep problems and daytime fatigue. The subscales were uncorrelated, and both demonstrated strong internal consistency (α = .87 and .84, respectively). Regression analyses revealed that daytime fatigue was not significantly associated with quality of life after adjusting for covariates. However, sleep problems were a significant predictor of reduced quality of life (β = – .33, p < .01). No significant interaction between sleep problems and fatigue was observed. Conclusions: The SCOPA-Sleep may be a useful brief screening tool for sleep-related impairments in clinical FMS assessment. However, given the relatively small and homogeneous sample (predominantly middle-aged women not currently employed), the generalizability of these findings is limited. Future research should replicate these results in larger and more diverse FMS populations
Implicit Balancing and Regularization : Generalization and Convergence Guarantees for Overparameterized Asymmetric Matrix Sensing
No full textRecently, there has been significant progress in understanding the convergence and generalization properties of gradient-based methods for training overparameterized learning models. However, many aspects including the role of small random initialization and how the various parameters of the model are coupled during gradient-based updates to facilitate good generalization remain largely mysterious. A series of recent papers have begun to study this role for non-convex formulations of symmetric Positive Semi-Definite (PSD) matrix sensing problems which involve reconstructing a low-rank PSD matrix from a few linear measurements. The underlying symmetry/PSDness is crucial to existing convergence and generalization guarantees for this problem. In this paper, we study a general overparameterized low-rank matrix sensing problem where one wishes to reconstruct an asymmetric rectangular low-rank matrix from a few linear measurements. We prove that an overparameterized model trained via factorized gradient descent converges to the low-rank matrix generating the measurements. We show that in this setting, factorized gradient descent enjoys two implicit properties: (1) coupling of the trajectory of gradient descent where the factors are coupled in various ways throughout the gradient update trajectory and (2) an algorithmic regularization property where the iterates show a propensity towards low-rank models despite the overparameterized nature of the factorized model. These two implicit properties in turn allow us to show that the gradient descent trajectory from small random initialization moves towards solutions that are both globally optimal and generalize well
Why or What or How to be moral? : grundlegende Überlegungen zu einer Ethik der Lebensbereiche in der gymnasilaen Oberstufe des Religionsunterrichtes in Bayern
No full textDie Präsentation mit Übungen zum ethischen Lernen im RU der Oberstufe des Gymnasiums fokussierte zum einen auf grundlegende systematische Ansätze zur Begründung einer ethischen Orientierung, thematisierte aber im Besonderen den value-action-Gap in der ethischen Bildungsarbeit. Mit dem "Meier-Pagano-Filter" wurde zuerst ein praxistaugliches Distinktionsmodell für ethische Entsscheidungsfindung vorgestellt.
Dazu wurde diese systematische Klärung in einem "Learning-by-doing-Prozess" durch den Ansatz eines "Empathiebasierten ethischen Lernens über mulitiple Perspektivenwechsel" ergänzt, der auf den Grundlagen des Ethik-Konzeptes von Georg Lind beruht, jedoch die kognitive Dominanz durch erfahrbare Empathie "aufhebt"
