- ItemCan moral reasoning be modeled in an experiment?(San Francisco, CA: Public Library of Science, 2021) Grác, Ján; Biela, Adam; Mamcarz, Piotr; Kornas-Biela, DorotaA review of the literature on moral issues indicates that none of the empirical approaches to moral reasoning proposes an experimental approach which controls for such object-related experimental variables as: knowledge, motivation, acceptance of moral norms and consequences of human behavior in moral situations in a single research procedure. A unique element of the proposed experimental method is a multi-stage model determining morality indicators. In the two-phase design experiment, psychology students were asked to create model ethical stories and then conduct an overall assessment of each of these stories. As a result, a base of ethical stories was created with empirical moral indicators (positive, negative, neutral). The patterns in the moral evaluation of ethical stories were determined by identifying three processes (selection, differentiation and integration). The final result is a confirmed design of the experiment and a set of formulas that can be used in education and research on morality reasoning.
- ItemEmployability of University Students: Introduction of the Concept and the Psychometric Properties of the Polish Self-Perceived Employability Scale(2021) Domagała-Zyśk, Ewa; Mamcarz, Piotr; Martynowska, Klaudia; Fudali-Czyż, Agnieszka; Rothwell, AndrewHigher education has been undergoing a number of changes in recent years, and its effect is to be not only the diploma but the competencies needed for professional work. The employment model has also changed – currently, employees change jobs more often, contracts are rather short-term, and work requires the acquisition of new competencies in line with the idea of lifelong learning. The Covid-19 reality complicated the job market, even more, making people to lose and change their jobs much more often and be prepared to work constantly in unstable hybrid reality. Consequently, studies should not so much prepare to undertake a specific job but provide competences that build “employability”. The aim of the research presented in the article is to adapt and prepare the Polish version of The Self-Perceived Employability Scale of Rothwell & Arnold (2007). 600 first-year students took part in the study. The research results indicated a significant two-factor model, and therefore a Polish version of the scale based on two subscales was developed, which has good psychometric properties. The scale differs from the original British version, which may be related to social and cultural differences. The changes have been discussed and approved by the team and consulted with the author of the original version. The scale can be used to assess the perceived level of own employability for students of different years of study. Its results may form the basis for making decisions regarding the design of study programs and their evaluation in longitudinal studies.
