    Dark personality traits, political values, and prejudice: Testing a dual process model of prejudice towards refugees

    No full text
    There are two classes of explanations of prejudice: situational and personality. In a sample of Polish community members (n = 394), we tried to understand individual differences in prejudice towards refugees (i.e., classical and modern prejudice along with social distance) by considering the role of individual differences in the Dark Triad traits (i.e., narcissism, psychopathy, and Machiavellianism), collective narcissism (i.e., agentic and communal), social dominance, and authoritarianism. Both the Dark Triad traits and collective narcissism were associated with prejudice towards refugees among Poles, but the association for the former was fully mediated by social dominance—an effect that was stronger in men—whereas the association for the latter was partially mediated by authoritarianism—an effect that was stronger in women. We discuss our findings referring to a dual process model of prejudice

    We will rescue Italy, but we dislike the European Union: Collective narcissism and the COVID-19 threat

    Collective narcissists are hostile towards outgroup members, especially in response to threats against the ingroup. In the current study (N = 662; Polish community sample), we examined the associations between collective narcissism and intergroup relations using the agency–communion model of collective narcissism during the initial weeks of the COVID-19 threat in Poland. Assuming the COVID-19 threat is agentic (i.e., related to biological and economic danger), we expected it to be unrelated to collective narcissism’s communal aspect. We also expected that collective narcissists would enhance their ingroup image to modify the effects of the COVID-19 threat on intergroup relations. In general, collective narcissism was related to less favorable attitudes toward the European Union, more favorable attitudes toward China, and a willingness to help Italians. The agentic aspect of narcissism was unrelated to intergroup prosocialness, while the communal aspect of narcissism was unrelated to attitudes toward the European Union. The COVID threat suppressed unfavorable attitudes towards the European Union among collective narcissists. Therefore, the COVID threat has limited yet unexpected effects on attitudes toward outgroups among collective narcissists

    Méthodologie dans les recherches en aquisition des langues

    « La méthodologie » des recherches en acquisition, annoncée dans le titre de ce recueil, doit se lire plutôt comme « les méthodologies » où le pluriel avertit de la présence de plusieurs démarches possibles à suivre pour comprendre comment se met en oeuvre le système d’une langue nouvellement acquise. Une partie des textes réunis dans ce volume 9 de la série 12/15 trouve son origine dans les contributions présentées lors du colloque international des jeunes chercheurs organisé par la Chaire d’Acquisition et de Didactique des Langues (CADiL) de l’Université Catholique de Lublin Jean Paul II, à Lublin, en 2019. Emilie Riguel, Elodie Peurou, Kévin Raynaud, Aneta Filipiuk-Kusz, Meriama Rahmani et Aleksandra Murat-Bednarz ont ainsi présenté les travaux réalisés dans le cadre de préparation de leurs thèses, Aleksandra Dyderska et Ewelina Gąbka – de leurs mémoires de fin d’étude (master 2). Mettant en relief les questions méthodologiques auxquelles ils ont tous fait face, ensemble, ces jeunes chercheurs ont réussi à balayer un champ d’investigations certainement très large, allant de l’acquisition d’une L3 par un enfant de 6 ans à l’attrition de la L1 par des adultes immigrés, de l’acquisition des structures figées en anglais L2 à la capacité d’interagir en classe de FLE, du sémantisme des titres de presse à l’interprétation d’un texte littéraire. Les articles de Małgorzata Piotrowska-Skrzypek, Katarzyna Karpińska-Szaj et Bernadeta Wojciechowska, Anna Kucharska, Christine Martinez sont des textes de chercheuses chevronnées. Ces contributions servent, au fond, d’études matricielles où la méthodologie mise en oeuvre et présentée fait partie intégrale de l’originalité des études menées.Publikacja dofinansowana ze środków Narodowego Centrum Nauki (National Science Center, Poland) w ramach realizacji projektu: 2015/18/M/HS2/00101 (Acquisition of language complexity in foreign language teaching and learning

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    No full text
    We conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more sophisticated methods
