Objective: This study, rooted in narrative psychology, examined the effectiveness of the proactive self-narrative diary intervention for adults’ mental health during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: Four hundred twenty-four people aged 18 to 45 were recruited and divided into three groups: ‘narrative’, ‘descriptive’, and ‘control’. On three consecutive days, participants in the ‘narrative’ group were asked to narrate their daily experiences related to the pandemic. At the same time, people from the ‘descriptive’ group were asked to answer some questions related to their daily activities, and the third group did nothing. The effect of the intervention on mental health was assessed in three follow-up measurements (a day, two weeks, and two months after the end of the intervention). Self-narrative inclination, awareness of narrative identity, and reflexivity were analyzed as factors modifying the effect of the self-diary intervention. Results: The results indicate a significant decrease...

Existing research on singlehood has largely focused on the experiences of single women, and little is known about singlehood among men. The current investigation examined the experience of long-term singlehood through individual, semi-structured interviews with 22 never-married single men living in Poland who were aged 22–43 years. Thematic analysis revealed five key themes: (1) the sense of being deficient—is there something wrong with me?; (2) navigating outside the dominant discourse of traditional masculinity, marriage and family; (3) the benefits and downsides of singlehood; (4) adaptation to singlehood; and (5) the dilemma between waiting and actively searching for a romantic partner. An analysis of single men’s narratives revealed that men experience their single status in the context of their various needs and hopes and as a status that determines their adult life course. This study contributes to the singlehood literature, highlighting the complexity of singlehood for men a...

Evidence-based practice (EBP) is a defined proposal for how to integrate science and clinical practice that treats scientific evidence, particularly the results of empirical research, as a source of clinically useful and highly objective knowledge. We assume that the principles and standards of clinical practice defined in EBP have resulted in the emergence of many trans-theoretical models, but have also significantly influenced the credibility of practice derived from paradigmatic approaches. The aim of the article is to share our reflections on two issues: 1) What clinical problems arise in non-standard situations in the application of evidence-based practice for the best clinical outcomes for a patient with mental health problems? 2) What methods of integrating patient data are used by clinical psychologists in a transtheoretical and paradigmatic approach in differential (assessment), structural-functional and epigenetic (case formulation) diagnosis? In connection with developed ...

Qualitative content analysis (QCA) is a method for systematically describing qualitative data with the use of rule-bound procedures and human-generated interpretation. With this article we aim to reflect on the methodical aspect of QCA in the field of clinical psychology. After introducing the implementation of QCA procedures in clinical psychology and the diversity of content analytic-informed studies encountered in this field with special attention to coding frames, we present the problems and challenges that arise when using QCA in a more specific clinical context, namely, explanatory assessment of personality disorders. Beginning with the challenges (detecting clinically relevant information, explaining the pathomechanism, access to unconscious internal processes, role of relational information in assessment), we give possible solutions for the stage of data preparation and analysis. These include the balanced use of psychological theory and identifying patterns in data and in c...

BackgroundBeing raised by a mother suffering from schizophrenia may affect the fulfilment of developmental tasks. The aim of the study was to determine which psychological factors (attachment, emotion regulation) and social factors (parental care and social sup-port) determine the implementation of developmental tasks, taking into account the age of the child at the time that schizophrenia was diagnosed in the mother (before 10 vs. over 10 years of age; B10y vs. O10y).Participants and procedureThe sample consisted of 47 (34 women) highly functioning adult offspring of mothers suffering from schizophrenia. They re-sponded to self-report measures about their current functioning and gave retrospective information about their childhood.ResultsThe results show that the timeliness, inconsistency and excessive demands of the mother are higher in the O10y group than in the B10y group. The lack of awareness of experienced emotions, the need for support, inconsistency in the mother’s parental...

BackgroundThis study aimed to determine whether level of personality organization is associated with a relational pattern present in an autobiographical narrative about an important interpersonal relationship. The main goals were to explore whether and how the components of the internal relationship pattern, and whether and how the configurations of the components, are related to personality organization, when integrated personality organization (IPO) is taken into account.Participants and procedureAssessment of the relational patterns was based on the Core Conflictual Relationship Theme (CCRT) – wishes (WS), responses from others (RO), and responses of the self (RS) – as identified from participants’ self-narratives about important relationships (N = 90).ResultsOne-way analysis of variance revealed significant differences between groups with different levels of personality organization, according to one wish of self (WS2 To oppose, hurt, control), five responses of others (RO4 Bad;...

The creation of abridged versions of research tools is a common, justifiable process, but unfortunately it is often carried out without due methodological care and regard for the consequences. Smith and collaborators (2000) have already written about the mistakes that can be made, but their article has not had much practical impact. There are two main mistakes commonly made by researchers: assuming the transferability of validity and reliability between the full and shortened versions and using less stringent criteria to assess the validity and reliability of short forms. These two problems manifest as nine sins committed during the construction of short forms. Here we present procedures designed to allow researchers to avoid these mistakes and create abridged versions of research tools that are as reliable as possible and to assess the costs of the various methods of abridging questionnaires. To this end we determine the expected length of the tool and weight the benefits of reduce...

Istotą terapii narracyjnej jest odwoływanie się do właściwej człowiekowi narracyjnej organizacji doświadczenia w celu wprowadzania pozytywnych zmian w sposobie rozumienia i doświadczania siebie przez klientów, co osiągane jest na drodze transformacji konstruowanych przez nich opowieści. Zmiana osiągana jest jednak w wyniku różnorodnych oddziaływań terapeutycznych, posiadających odmienne założenia. Rozdział przedstawia koncepcje terapii narracyjnej na tle założeń konstruktywistycznych: konstrukcjonizmu społecznego i konstruktywizmu krytycznego. Omawia podstawowe założenia oraz procesy prowadzące do zmiany terapeutycznej w trzech podejściach. Po pierwsze – w klasycznej terapii narracyjnej White’a i Epstona – istotą zmiany jest stworzenie alternatywnej opowieści wobec dominującej wcześniej opowieści o problemie. Po drugie, w koncepcji dyskursywnego umysłu, gdzie zmiana terapeutyczna dotyczy udrożnienia komunikacji między zinternalizowanymi pozycjami podmiotowymi. I wreszcie humanistycz...

"Wprowadzenie: „Badania naukowe to działalność publiczna” – brzmi pierwsze zdanie jednego z rozdziałów tomu traktującego o metodologii badań psychologicznych (Shaugnessy i in., 2002, s. 493). Po zakończeniu badań empirycznych badacz uzyskane rezultaty komunikuje społeczności badaczy w formie raportu umieszczanego w publikacjach. Raporty takie realizują wiele celów, ale głównie mają oznajmiać konkretne dane i idee w sposób jasny i szczegółowy na tyle, aby umożliwić odbiorcom kompetentną ocenę, a także stymulować i ukierunkowywać dalsze badania (Babbie, 2004, s. 563). Zgodnie z Richardson (1990, s. 15), pisanie raportów naukowych cechuje się własną retoryką i posiada pewne dyskursywne reguły. Retoryka badań naukowych oznacza, że badacz pisząc, wykorzystuje różnorodnie środki perswazyjne i stylistyczne. Jednak style pisania naukowego nie są ani jedynie wyrazem indywidualnych preferencji ani nie są paradygmatycznie neutralne – odzwierciedlają założenia projektów badawczych czy charakter czasopism naukowych (Reshef, 2001). Podejście jakościowe oraz ilościowe wyznaczają określone reguły pisania, które ściśle korespondują z etapami postępowania badawczego, jakie się postuluje. Można na przykład powiedzieć za Beyers (2006, s. 2-8; Elliot, 2005), że istnieją także nastawieni na dane publikacje odbiorcy (quantitative versus qualitative audiences). Reguły te różnią się szczegółowością i zakresem, np. APA’s Publication Manual (1994) zawiera około 200 stron porad od organizacji treści w tekście do interpunkcji. Istnieją więc wskazówki bezpośrednie, mówiące jak pisać, ale istnieją także wskazówki ukryte, które współ-determinują to, co zostanie napisane od mniej uchwytnej strony (Richardson, 1990, s. 15). Na przykład w obrębie paradygmatów funkcjonują tzw. metanarracje – nadrzędne założenia, działające jako heurystyki, np. odpowiedź na pytania: Dokąd zmierza nauka? Co jest cenione, a co zabronione? Jaki status mają badania? Używanie terminu „metanarracja” w kontekście pisania prac naukowych implikuje też przekazywanie sobie nawzajem przez naukowców pewnych opowieści o tym, jak wygląda dobra praca naukowa, w jaki sposób się ją pisze i na jakie trudności w aktywności tej można napotkać. Pisanie jako działalność publiczna ukierunkowana na komunikowanie odbiorcy wyników badań jest więc czynnością ustrukturyzowaną – wyznaczoną regułami wyraźnie eksplikowanymi, ale i regułami ukrytymi. Część reguł wywodzi się z postrzegania podobieństw i różnic między podejściem jakościowym i ilościowym w badaniach i nimi chciałabym zająć się w niniejszej pracy. "

Abstract The subject of the book is placed in the meeting of several disciplines in psychology: narrative psychology, clinical psychology, psychopathology and psychological diagnosis. The narrative approach was employed to deepen the understanding of personality pathology, especially the problem of processing the relational (emotional) experience in people with different levels of personality functioning depicted from the psychodynamic Kernberg’s point of view – the borderline, neurotic and integrated level of personality. Narrative approach provided the conceptualization of experiential processing (model of the narrative processing of the experience) as well as tools to gather the autobiographical stories (self-narrative elicitation interview) and to analyze them qualitatively and quantitatively (lexical, content and structural narrativity indices). The main question raised in the book is to study how people with different levels of personality process their relational experience a...

Introduction The thesis about beneficial effects of writing on physical and mental health occurs quite commonly in modern psychological literature. The notion of “writing cure” (Lepore, Smyth, 2002; Kaufman, Sexton, 2006), which suggest non-controversial positive outcomes of writing exists as a reference to the notion of “talking cure” known from psychoanalysis. The thesis about benefits of writing has been scientifically developed and empirically verified in at least two ways. First, attempts have been made at establishing in what circum- stances or conditions (personality, procedural, types of psychological situa- tions, etc.) does writing have better or worse effects. One of the most signifi- cant contexts considered in numerous studies is a past traumatic experience of an individual and his or her ways of coping with it. Secondly, researchers have tried to formulate a hypotheses explaining why does it happen, i.e. what psychological processes lead to positive effects of writing....

W kwestionariuszu IAN-R inklinacja autonarracyjna mierzona jest na trzech wymiarach: dystansowania się od własnego doświadczenia, narracyjnego relacjonowania zdarzeń oraz korzystania z dziedzictwa kulturowego. Kwestionariusz IAN-R jest narzędziem o wysokiej rzetelności, zadowalającej trafności i może być rekomendowany do przewidywania zachowania osób badanych w wywiadzie psychologicznym oraz przy badaniu integracyjnych funkcji osobowości.

Background One of the main components of psychological conversation that influence communication is psychological defensiveness.
In the paper I propose processual – situational understanding of defensiveness, and its measurement based on coding system. Preliminary results on link between personality traits and defensiveness in people’s narratives are presented as well. Participants and procedure To test proposed coding system, study was conducted with participants presenting different levels of personality organization’s (borderline: n = 35, 20 women, M = 26.09, SD = 4.82, neurotic: n = 29, 24 women, M = 25.90, SD = 5.25, integrated: n = 31, 26 women, M = 21.94, SD = 1.69). Correlation method was applied (Borderline Personality Inventory, Neuroticism Scale, Emotion Control Inventory), as well as narrative’s interviews. Participants’ statements were coded by competent judges (defensiveness and coherence of narratives), and by automatic lexical analyses (descriptive indicators). Resu...

ABSTRACT Streszczenie: Niniejszy artykuł ma na celu ukazanie przydatności wybranych aspektów analizy narracji w diagnozie klinicznej, w której - oprócz rozpoznania obrazu zaburzenia osobowości, mechanizmu psychopatologii i etiologii - istotne jest też poznanie sposobu doświadczania samego siebie przez pacjenta. Zakładamy, że wypowiedź pacjenta sama w sobie jest fenomenem psychicznym - sposobem konstrukcji (i przeżywania) zaburzenia, a analiza autonarracji pacjenta pozwala zrozumieć, jak konstruuje on swoją psychopatologię. Jako wiodącą koncepcję narracyjną wybrano do opisu kliniczny model narracyjnej organizacji doświadczenia (model of narrative development - Salvatore, Dimaggio i Semerari, 2004), a jako przykład kliniczny omówione zostało paranoiczne zaburzenie osobowości. Słowa kluczowe: paranoiczne zaburzenie osobowości, diagnoza kliniczna, autonarracja, analiza narracji, psychologia narracji.

Creating shortened versions of research tools is common and justified. Unfortunately, it is often performed without due methodological care and awareness of the consequences of such actions. Even though the errors committed during short form construction were collected by Smith and his collaborators in 2000, it did not distinctly affect the practice. The mistakes made by researchers still come down to two main faults: assuming the transferability of validity and reliability between the full and shortened versions, and lowering the validity and reliability requirements for short forms. These two problems manifest as 9 sins committed during the construction of short forms. This article intends to present procedures which prevent these mistakes and ensure creating possibly the most reliable short version of a research tool and assessing the costs of a selected shortening method. To this end, the work determined a priori the expected length of the tool, the benefit of reduced questionna...

The article aims to show social capital resources in coping with distance education during the COVID-19 pandemic of Polish teachers working at different educational stages. The sample consisted of 1104 women (91.2%) and 107 men (8.8%) who described their remote professional experiences as valued positively during the pandemic. The collected verbal material was analyzed with quantitative content analysis based on theory-driven categories of social capital: Relationships, trust, commitment, and fulfilling obligations. Then, the frequency of words belonging to the categories in each participant’s utterance was assessed. The results indicate that when describing positive experiences (situations and events) during distance education, teachers referred mainly to social capital resources in terms of relationships and fulfilling obligations. The results indicate that teachers working in secondary schools in Poland put less emphasis on building social capital during distance education, espec...

An important element of many forms of counseling is the narrative articulation of the client experience. This article aims to define self-narrative elicitation methods, to explore their use in counseling, and to present a quantitative empirical examination of narrative interview instructions. It examines whether the self-narrative inclination and selected situational factors influence the narrativity level of the utterances when elicited by different types of self-narrative instructions. The results show that the utterances produced by three different types of instructions (open-ended question; photo-elicitation; life-as-book metaphor) do not differ in narrativity level. The narrativity of utterances measured micro-analytically on the lexical level remains independent from the external factors (sequence, topic, type of instruction). Given the level of narrativity and length of response, the three instructions are close to each other. At the same time the narrativity is significantly...

Socjoterapia jest często oferowana w Polsce jako forma pomocy dla dzieci i młodzieży z trudnościami w funkcjonowaniu psychospołecznym. Praca socjoterapeutów i socjoterapeutek jest oparta na zaufaniu społecznym i wymaga funkcjonowania w wielu złożonych uwarunkowaniach. Celem niniejszej analizy było poznanie perspektywy socjoterapeutów i socjoterapeutek na trudności i wyzwania w ich codziennej pracy socjoterapeutycznej. W tym celu zostało zebranych 37 wypowiedzi pisemnych od socjoterapeutów pracujących w różnychplacówkach, głównie szkołach i świetlicach socjoterapeutycznych. Wypowiedzi zostały zanalizowane metodą analizy tematycznej (w podejściu autorstwa Braun i Clarke), pozwalającej nawygenerowanie pięciu tematów, które obejmują doświadczenie wyzwań: 1) wyzwaniem jest uczestnik; 2) dbać o grupę jako efektywne środowisko terapeutyczne; 3) pracować „z otwartym sercem”; 4) balansować między pewnością i niepewnością; 5) pracować mimo poczucia, że „nie wszyscy jadą w tę samą stronę”.

The purpose of this study was to reconstruct the main ideas—universal but grounded in particular diagnostic experiences—used by psychotherapists during the case conceptualisation process. Authors focus on the process of diagnostic thinking expressed in graphic conceptual maps of a specific case. Two main questions were posed: (1) how do psychotherapists build patient understanding (a model of a patient)? (2) With what conceptual tools (categories, assumptions, ideas) do they think? The sample of fourteen conceptual maps from psychotherapists was used for the study presented here. The psychotherapists who were the authors of fourteen selected maps (years of experience: M = 21.38 years, SD = 13.53; 3 male, 11 female; age: M = 44.71; SD = 13.27) represented various approaches. A thematic analysis framework (Braun & Clarke, 2006 ) was used. Four major themes were identified across conceptual maps: (1) parental figures are depicted as pivotal; (2) basic assumptions about the “world o...

This article presents findings of qualitative analysis of semi-structured interviews with a group of "frequent liars" and another of "rare liars" who provided their subjective perspectives on the phenomenon of lying. Participants in this study previously had maintained a diary of their social interactions and lies over the course of one week, which allowed to assign them to one of the two groups: frequent or rare liars. Thematic analysis of the material followed by elements of theory formulation resulted in an extended lying typology that includes not only the target of the lie (the liar vs. other) but also the motivation (protection vs. bringing benefits). We offer an analysis of what prevents from telling the truth, i.e. penalties, relationship losses, distress of the lied-to, and anticipated lack of criticism for telling the truth. We also focus on understanding moderatorsof consequences of lying (significance of the area of life, the type of lie and capacity ...

Sociotherapists’ experiences of helping adolescents within the framework of sociotherapy were examined. There were 12 participants involved (three males), who were active sociotherapists from big cities in Poland. They were aged 30–60 years, with at least 4 years’ experience in the profession. We applied a qualitative approach to obtain in-depth, socio-contextual descriptions of the sociotherapists’ experiences. Interviews activated by a narrative stimulus were conducted. Both inductive (inspired by thematic analysis and a categorical-content perspective in narrative analysis) and deductive (based on theory of basic narrative forms) content analytic approaches were used to identify key helping factors. Two general themes revealed different paths of arranging help for adolescents in sociotherapeutic groups: (1) shaping of psychological competencies; (2) intervening in crises, encompassing dramatic actions going beyond process-based group work. Sociotherapy providers should have appro...

The aim of this online survey was to test the hypothesis that self-construals (Independent self-construal and Interdependent self-construal) mediate the association between relationship status (single vs. partnered) and mental health. Four hundred and twenty-nine university students (327 females and 102 males) 19-25 (M = 21.79, SD = 1.72) completed the Polish versions of the General Health Questionnaire-28 and Self-Construal Scale. The results indicated that although different configurtions of self-construals are related to the level of experienced anxiety, the aspects of mental health analyzed are not related to the interaction between relationship status (partnered vs single) and 4 configurationsof self-construals. At the same time, the revealed lack of correlation between relationship status and mental health is contradictory to expectations and hypotheses. The results suggest that university students are perhaps in the middle of a prolonged moratorium, and in consequence, not ma...

The main goals of this study are 1) to explore whether internal relationship patterns are related to personality organization, and 2) to recognize the role that selected relationship patterns play in diagnosing personality organization levels. Internal relationship patterns were assessed according to the core conflictual relationship theme (CCRT) - about wishes (WS), responses from others (RO), and responses of the self (RS) - as identified from participants’ self-narratives about important relationships. Significant differences in the frequencies of patterns were found among participants with borderline personality organization (BPO), neurotic personality organization (NPO), and integrated personality (IPO). For example, the majority of negative RS responses were detected in the BPO sample. The study supports the thesis that relationship patterns might be related to personality organization, and that object representation complexity may be a good predictor of integrated personality...
