Although spirituality is a popular subject of research in many fields of science about man today,... more Although spirituality is a popular subject of research in many fields of science about man today, there still are problems with defining it. Their causes, at least in psychology, though unfounded, include distortions reflecting the scientist's personal bias: apologetic on the one hand and antifideist on the other. Bias of the first type often stems from the beliefs, held by the author of a given concept, that go beyond the paradigm of science. This refers to two concepts recognizing the existence of the spiritual dimension of the human being as substantially different from the psychological dimension: V. E. Frankl's logotheory, being a concept of the spiritual dimension as the source of the need for meaning, and D. Helminiak's concept, according to which spirituality is the realization of the principle of authentic transcendence of the self. Such concepts are referred to as explicit. However, there are also explicit concepts of spirituality acceptable in academic psychology; the described example is the concept of spirituality developed by J. Averill. Bias of the second type dominated Western psychology for a long time. It may be the cause for the term "spirituality" not being used by the authors of the concepts whose distinctive features appear in this article. These are the implicit concepts of spirituality. Their three examples are: Terror Management Theory (developed by T. PyszczyĔski, J. Greenberg, and S. Solomon), the Meaning Maintenance Model (authored mainly by T. Proulx and S. Heine), and Józef Kozielecki's transgressive concept of man. They include similar elements, but the transgressive concept appears to be the most useful. The conclusion contains proposals of research using the ideas of meaning, coping with absurdity, and the form of transgression as ones that lead to spiritual transformation.

After introducing the concept of self-tracking and the historical development of wearable tech nologies, it discusses the rise of self-tracking communities focused on using wearable technologies to 'enhance' the mental and physical capacities of their members. Subse quently, the concept of the mind tracker is analysed. Mind trackers have worked along a bodily trajectory, looking to combine awareness of the inner workings of the brain with outward features such as facial expression in order to then recognize certain affective states. Mind trackers claim to provide information on one's state of mind, sleep pattern, emotional spectrum, and the strength of emotions. In doing so, their producers declare that the devices can assist in improving focus, reduce stress, and increase attentiveness. They can, however, bear serious consequences in the context of privacy, transparency, and coercion, particularly in the organizational context.

Chociaż wbrew oczekiwaniom jedyny czynnik istotny dla zachowania pomocowego miał charakter sytuacyjny (pośpiech), jednak gdy udający chorego człowiek dziękował za chęć pomocy, osoby z wysokim wynikiem w skali poszukiwania częściej niż pozostałe postępowały zgodnie z tym życzeniem i odchodziły. Batson twierdzi, że tak przejawia się autentyczny altruizm (empatyczne wczucie się w rzeczywistą potrzebę). Krytycy (np. Hood) przeciwnie. Empatię wykazali przechodnie, którzy nadal pragnęli pomóc; w końcu nigdy nie wiadomo, jaki jest naprawdę stan człowieka przed chwilą cierpiącego. 37 Instrukcja do badania zawiera sformułowanie moderate interest in religion. Ryc. 4. Nastroje pojawiające się w dążeniu do przepływu w zależności od interakcji między stopniem wymagań a poziomem umiejętności. Opracowanie własne wg ryciny z książki Urok codzienności.

Wśrod ich przyczyn, przynajmniej w psychologii, choc nieuzasadnione, są skrzywienia odzwierciedlające osobiste uwiklanie naukowca: z jednej strony apologetyczne, z drugiej – antyfideistyczne. Skrzywienie pierwszego typu jest czesto powodowane wykraczającymi poza paradygmat nauki przekonaniami tworcy koncepcji. Odnosi sie to do dwu koncepcji uznających istnienie duchowego wymiaru czlowieka jako substancjalnie innego niz psychologiczny: logoteoria V. E. Frankla, czyli koncepcja wymiaru duchowego jako źrodla potrzeby sensu, oraz koncepcja D. Helminiaka, wedlug ktorej duchowośc jest realizacją zasady autentycznej transcendencji siebie. Takie koncepcje określone są jako jawne. Jednak istnieją tez jawne koncepcje duchowości, mozliwe do akceptacji w ramach psychologii akademickiej; omowiony przyklad to koncepcja duchowości opracowana przez J. Averilla. Sk...

The cave loams ac cu mu lated through weath er ing, ae olian and flu vial pro cesses. Their age may be cor re lated with an in ter val from the Early Gla cial to the Late Pleniglacial of the Visulian (Weichselian) Gla ci ation. Archae o log i cal rel ics re lated to the Neanderthals have been dis cov ered in layer D with an ab so lute age of about 52,000-45,000 years BP and cor re lated with MIS 3-the Mid dle Plenivistulian (Interplenivistulian).

Such transformation takes placemore or less consciouslyin relation to experience of one"s existential situation. Its spectacular examples are death of beloved person or one"s own death anxiety. These are situations with no solution, but they initiate the specific processes of coping. These processes employ the unique human cognitive abilities and on the other handcultural resources of skills an patterns: religions offer eschatological beliefs, while "leaving a footprint after death" can be a secular solution. Positive outcome of the transformation, or spiritual growth, appears in the radically changed shape of reality, as the profane turns into the sacred. Among the other, one"s feeling of sacredness enhances significantly. This is however only one of the dimensions describing ones image of reality; several next dimensions exist as well. All they consist of different form of information codes (recognition, understanding), particularly this information which flows through an unconscious mind. In other words, spiritual growth is a process of better and better insight into the unconscious mental processes, of their "taming," of the development of selfconsciousness, self-control, getting meaning.
