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
States and Their Nationals Abroad : Support, Co-opt, Repress
No full textIn a novel contribution to the field of comparative foreign policy analysis, this book carefully delineates how states, regardless of regime, have formulated policies to deal with their national communities aboard. Some states, depending on their domestic political ideologies, cultures and capabilities, have extensive institutional mechanisms in place for coming to the aid of their nationals abroad. Others, however, have also used these capabilities in adverse ways. Chapters focusing on individual countries explore the rationale behind state policies that differentiate treatment for distinct groups, such as tourists, migrants, and diasporas. Amongst the intriguing findings is the fact that state capacity alone does not explain the ability or willingness of states to assist their nationals abroad in times of need. Furthermore, in some cases, communities abroad can also actively mobilize against their home state, thus play key roles in conflict and even regime change
Development and validation of the caregiver-report version of the international depression questionnaire (IDQ-CG) and international anxiety questionnaire (IAQ-CG)
No full textThe International Depression Questionnaire (IDQ) and International Anxiety Questionnaire (IAQ) are self-report measures of ICD-11 single episode depressive disorder (DD) and generalised anxiety disorder (GAD). The present study sought to describe the development and psychometric evaluation of the caregiver-report versions of the IDQ and IAQ for children, referred to as the IDQ-CG and IAQ-CG, respectively. Participants were 639 parents living in Ukraine who provided data on themselves and one child in their household as part of “ The Mental Health of Parents and Children in Ukraine Study: 2023 Follow-up” study. The latent structure of the IDQ-CG and IAQ-CG were tested using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), composite reliability (CR) estimates were estimated, and convergent validity was assessed. Prevalence rates of probable ICD-11 DD and GAD were also estimated. CFA results indicated that the IDQ-CG and IAQ-CG were unidimensional, while the internal reliability of both scales was excellent. Convergent validity was established via associations with external measures of internalizing, externalizing, and attention problems as well as trauma exposure. Factors associated with increased IDQ-CG and IAQ-CG scores included pharmacological support for emotional or behavioural problems, delayed milestone development, being forced to move to another part of Ukraine, serious life disruption due to the war, and having experienced a bereavement. Of the total sample, 1.6% met diagnostic requirements for ICD-11 DD and 5.8% met diagnostic requirements for ICD-11 GAD. This study supports the psychometric properties of the IDQ-CG and IAQ-CG. These measures can be effectively used to identify young people in need of mental health support
ChatGPT as a modern tool for Bible teaching in confessional religious education : a German view
No full textBiblical didactics is an important element of confessional religious education. In traditional settings, it is primarily associated with working with the text, alone or in groups, in plenary discussion or pantomime. Nowadays, however, young people are increasingly acquiring their knowledge—including about the Bible—on the Internet, using new technologies such as conversational Artificial Intelligence (AI), of which ChatGPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformers) is perhaps the best-known example. In this context, the following article seeks to answer the question of whether, and if so to what extent, ChatGPT can be a helpful tool for teaching the Bible in the classroom. To answer this question, the authors present a theoretical framework that encompasses both foundational insights into conversational AI and ChatGPT, as well as their implications for religious education and biblical teaching in Germany. In the next step, based on J. Theis’ five-step model of Bible didactics [(1) initial perception; (2) analysis of the text; (3) in-depth reflection; (4) critical interpretation; (5) creative assimilation], ways of using ChatGPT in biblical teaching in the classroom are presented and their potential limitations are discussed. The article concludes with six final theses that summarise the investigation findings and offer some suggestions for the future
