- ItemApplication of metacognitive strategies in the development of emotional and motivational self-regulation of students with special educational needs. Research on children with ADHD(Lubelskie Stowarzyszenie Naukowe na Rzecz Rozwoju Psychiatrii, Uniwersytet Medyczny w Lublinie, 2021) Kulik, Agnieszka; Kajka, NataliaThe aim of the presented study is to verify whether the visual methods (Mind Maps and Sketch-noting) considered as metacognitive strategies will help to strengthen emotional and motivational self-regulation in children with ADHD. In this experimental study, 135 participants took part, including 45 primary school students diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder with the presentation of mixed symptoms (M = 10.41; SD = 1.42), their parents (N = 45) and teachers (N = 45). The results obtained in the study indicate that after 25 training sessions with the use of both Mind Maps and Sketch-noting, children with ADHD make significantly fewer errors than during the first measurement. However, only in the Sketch-noting group did their average reaction time increase significantly, which indicates that they are more reflective. The presented metacognitive strategies can be successfully applied at school by students with ADHD and constitute a source of support for both students and teachers.
- ItemAssessment of emotional control from the perspective of young adults with ADHD(Wydawnictwo Mazowieckiej Uczelni Publicznej w Płocku, 2021) Kulik, Agnieszka; Kajka, Natalia; Lemanowicz, Angelika; Mazur, Natalia; Ochnio, EmiliaObjective: Assessment of emotional control from the perspective of young adults with ADHD. Method: 86 young adults (M = 23.14; SD = 2.06) took part in the questionnaire study. The respondents completed two tools: the Courtauld Emotional Control Scale (CECS) and the structured ADHD diagnostic interview for adults (DIVA 2.0). Results: Despite the fact that adults with ADHD more often choose negative emotions as dominant in their lives or more often struggle with the inability to name the conditions they experience, no statistically significant differences were found between young adults with ADHD and without it disturbing in terms of suppressing the experienced emotional states. Conclusion: Adult ADHD adults' perceptions of regulating their emotional states may be distorted due to the greater number of difficult emotions they identify in their daily lives.
- ItemEkspresja emocji a subiektywny stan zdrowia. Regulacyjna rola oceny kontrolnej u kobiet(Towarzystwo Naukowe Franciszka Salezego, 2016) Kulik, Agnieszka; Kajka, NataliaW literaturze psychologicznej nie ma konsensusu w ocenie roli negatywnych emocji dla zdrowia/choroby. Również rola poczucia własnej wartości czy poczucia winy nie jest jednoznaczna w tym procesie. Celem prezentowanych badań jest odpowiedź na pytanie: Kiedy i jaka ekspresja gniewu jest korzystna dla zdrowia (dobrego samopoczucia) oraz jaką rolę pełni w tym procesie ocena kontrolna. Zbadano subiektywną ocenę zdrowia (SOZ), nasilenie i kierunek ekspresji gniewu (SEG), poczucie winy (KPW), poczucie własnej wartości (SES). Przeanalizowano wyniki 141 kobiet w wieku 20-24 lat. Stwierdzono, że 1) ekspresja gniewu może mieć pozytywne znaczenie dla zdrowia, jeśli jest zaangażowana w osiąganie celów, 2) gniew zewnętrzny jest prozdrowotny jeśli wiąże się z sytuacyjnym poczuciem winy, 3) gniew wewnętrzny ma charakter prozdrowotny jeśli nie wiąże się z poczuciem winy.
- ItemProcesses of a Transformation of Young Drivers’ Responsibility for Health - Carpe Diem(MDPI, 2021) Kulik, Agnieszka; Kajka, Natalia; Dacka, MonikaResearch most often deals with the relationship between risky behaviour on the road and other aspects of young adults’ lifestyle. It is rare that the sense of responsibility for one’s own life and health and for that of other people on the road is understood, due to the limitation of perceptual data. In this study, we researched 198 young adults (M = 19.75; SD = 1.11) using the Multidimensional Health Locus of Control, the Inventory of Health Behaviours, the Criteria of Health List and a student health survey. The chance of risky driving will increase by 50.7% among young adults as their understanding of health as a state increases. On the other hand, when young people feel that others are responsible for their lives, the likelihood of risky driving will drop by 6.4%. The hedonistic life orientation of a young adult had a significant impact on the results obtained which was connected with their understanding of health.
- ItemTemperamental risk factors in young adults with ADHD symptoms(Lubelskie Stowarzyszenie Naukowe na Rzecz Rozwoju Psychiatrii, Uniwersytet Medyczny w Lublinie, 2020) Kulik, Agnieszka; Kajka, Natalia; Wachnicka, MajaIntroduction: In recent years, numerous studies have focused on the analysis of the primary mechanisms and forms of therapy in children and adolescents with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The analysis of such topics among similarly diagnosed young adults is only beginning to gain popularity. The present article attempts to answer the question of whether the level of individual temperament traits will predict an increase in the severity of ADHD symptoms in young adults. Materials and methods: The questionnaire study involved 111 young adults aged from 18 to 28 (M= 23; SD= 2.12; 70 women and 41 men). Fifty-one people were included in the clinical group, and sixty were qualified for the control one. The participants of the study completed a health questionnaire and a structured diagnostic interview on ADHD symptoms in adults (DIVA 2.0) and a questionnaire for the diagnosis of basic, biologically determined dimensions of human personality (FCZ-KT (R)). Results: The results indicate a significant role of four temperament traits that may be considered as specific risk factors for the aggravation of ADHD symptoms. These include briskness, rhythm, endurance and activity. Conclusions: In Strelau's Regulatory Theory of Temperament, the variability of temperament traits (in the Polish population) is attributed in 44% to genetic factors. The remaining 56% indicate non-genetic factors. The obtained results may indicate which factors are important in therapeutic work both in the group of young adults with ADHD symptoms, and may also constitute a source of information for parents or teachers regarding younger children with these symptoms.
- ItemThe Influence of Metacognitive Strategies on the Improvement of Reaction Inhibition Processes in Children with ADHD(MDPI, 2021) Kulik, Agnieszka; Kajka, NataliaBackground: Low response inhibition underlies attention disorders and hyperactivity. The aim of this study is to check whether these processes will be strengthened by three months of training with metacognitive strategies. Methodology: Forty-five schoolchildren took part in an experimental study (M = 10.41; SD = 1.42). Each child had been diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The participants were randomly assigned into three groups: the first group was tested for the effect of Mind Maps; the second group, for the effect of Sketchnoting, while the third group was assigned the role of a Control group. All of the groups were examined with the Loud Subtraction 7 test (LS7T) with a distractor before and after the training. Results: Analysis with the Wilcoxon test showed that children with ADHD made significantly fewer errors in the LS7 Test in the second measurement in the Mind Maps group (M1 = 7.45; SD1 = 4.07; M2 = 5.76; SD2 = 4.68; p = 0.02). In the remaining groups, there were no statistically significant differences in the average number of errors made. Conclusions: Mind Maps are an effective metacognitive strategy. Regular use of this method strengthens the inhibition of children with ADHD in this study. It can complement the existing forms of support for the child. View Full-Text
- ItemTransformations of health factors in students aged 18-24 engaging in unprotected sexual behaviour(Towarzystwo Naukowe Franciszka Salezego, 2021) Kulik, Agnieszka; Kajka, Natalia; Dacka, MonikaAmong the most important tasks for the upcoming decade, WHO (2020) lists the sexual education of young people. The aim of the current research was to recreate the health functioning of Polish university students and to identify the factors that determine why they engage in risky sexual behaviours. The analyses took into account health locus of control, undertaken health activities and attitude to God. 32 people aged 18 to 23 (M = 20.03; SD = 1.15) who did not limit sexual activity without protection qualified for the analyses. The respondents completed three research tools: MHLC (Wallston, Wallston & DeVellis 1978), IHB (Juczyński 2012), CoP (Bartczuk & Zarzycka 2020) and a health survey. As a result of the conducted analyses, three groups of people were selected, characterised by different approaches to sexual activity. The article will present the results of analyses concerning people who do not limit sexual activity without protection. The respondents who belong to this group are characterised by a tendency to over-idealise themselves and their actions. They engage in risky activities, but avoid involvement in health-promoting activities. The present research provides qualitative analyses that help to better understand what factors may affect it.
