The recent welcome inclusion of the study of African psychology within the psychology degree curriculum of some forward-thinking African universities has been lauded as a great positive drive in the right direction. In the past, the practices that prevailed were those of mainstream Western psychology imported to Africa. This awkward situation originated during the period of colonialism and the emergence of missionary Christianity in Africa. This article proposes that if the current positive attitude toward African psychology is to last and bear fruit, there is a need to formally inaugurate a new order or tradition (referred to in this paper as the Madiban tradition) that would anchor and open up the study of psychology in African universities towards a new future: a future in which the progressive arm of both Western and African approaches to psychology would coexist and enjoy enduring mutual respect and equitable participatory presence in these programmes. This paper highlights the theoretical framework undergirding this vision and the challenges to be faced and new shifts to be made in implementing such a vision.

Hungarian Language

On the metalanguage knowledge of Hungarian teachers and their students in Subcarpathia Several surveys verified it in the past years that the language dialect attitude of ethnic Hungarian students and teachers in Subcarpathia changed in a positive di-rection. Despite these developments they still could not entirely discard their nega-tive preconceptions many of them have developed against the non-standard vari-ants of the Hungarian language. In the present study I analyze the data from two questionnaire surveys I conducted in 2018 among students and teachers. From the analysis it becomes clear that the knowledge of the group about language variants is still lacking, resulting in controversies, often inconsistencies which can be ob-served in their expressions related to language dialects and the ones speaking such dialects. Keywords: language dialect knowledge, positive attitude, Hungarian students in Subcarpathia, Hungarian teachers in Subcarpathia

Stranger in one’s own country? Theological guidelines from 1 Peter with a juridical foundationSome South Africans, more specifically Afrikaans-speaking citizens, experience their present position as that of being foreigners in their own country. Many of the privileges they had enjoyed in the past do not exist anymore. Moreover, it seems as if Afrikaners continuously lose other privileges too. In this article an attempt is made to apply the motif of alienation in 1 Peter to the mentioned situation as well as to highlight relevant stipulations in the South African constitution. The aim with this point of departure is to equip preachers and pastors with a biblically-valid perspective on the problem experienced. Such a perspective can contribute to a more positive attitude among Afrikaner Christians experiencing this kind of alienation and thus urge them to answer to their calling in a spirit of hopefulness.

Nowadays, the customers often feel in danger in current unstable and unpredictable period of industrial, political, social and economic transition. In this environment, the weakened individuals find themselves in search of security references, identity, well-being, dream, emotion and re-enchantment, and consequently they want to return to the past and their memories, yearning for a sense of security and stability. They become nostalgic, seeking values of authenticity. On this basis, enterprises develop a strategy of nostalgic brands that appeal to the emotions, experiences and memories of the consumers. As a result, the basis of relations between the consumer and the brand is nostalgia, which is a positive attitude towards brands that are directly or indirectly related to the consumer’s past. The aim of this article is to evaluate the possibilities of implementation of the strategy of nostalgic brand. The results of own empirical research conducted in 2018 on a group of 16 international experts are presented. Both French and Polish experts positively evaluated the potential of nostalgic brands. Some differences in the opinions of the French and Polish experts are visible. The proposition of model of the nostalgic brands positioning is also presented. According to the experts, the basic principle for positioning of the nostalgic brand is having a strong brand history. Nostalgic brands are recommended for the following sectors: fashion, food, cosmetic (especially perfumes), luxury products, automotive, high-tech (music), entertainment and decorative. The results can serve as a guide for managers in implementing the strategy of nostalgic brand and can help identify the crucial elements needed for positioning of the brand based on the nostalgic feelings.

There is a reoccurring question in medical practice: do positive attitude and communication of the medical staff make any difference? Aim: Our aim is to present a comprehensive image of the medically relevant effects of positive suggestions by reviewing the recent literature. Methods: We review the studies measuring the effects of suggestive communication of the past 20 years. In cases of studies presented in more details we quote from the suggestion scripts used in the study, too. Results: Most of the reviewed papers affirm that positive suggestions lead to decreased pain and use of pain medication. But physiological factors like bowel motility, blood pressure and bleeding during surgery can be positively affected, too. Conclusions: Suggestive communication – a yet poorly utilized tool – used appropriately can significantly affect healing and recovery of a patient. Thus we emphasize further, more detailed study of this technique and its integration into the education of medical professionals. Orv. Hetil., 2011, 152, 96–106.

The Impact

In the past few years, brand scandals have become increasingly common in the global marketplace, resulting in significantly declining consumer preferences and purchases for the brand implicated in a scandal. However, the nature of brand scandal and brand love has scarcely been explored. The present study experimentally investigates the effect of type of brand scandals on consumers’ attitude and purchase intentions towards a scandalous brand and examines the impact of brand love on consumer responses towards the scandalous brand. Results suggest that consumers having high brand love have positive attitude and purchase likelihood, while the nature of brand scandals and brand love does not influence consumers’ response for the scandalous brand. Furthermore, results of the study indicate that the two-way interaction effects with the types of brand scandals (intrinsic and extrinsic) and brand love (high/low) on consumer’s behavioural intentions are insignificant.

Emotional Component

The article examined the ratio of temporal perspective and the components of the sense of coherence that is of particular interest from a position of describing the quality of life experience. In the study we used the time perspective scale developed by F. Zimbardo. The main purpose of this article is to study how such components of coherence as meaningfulness, comprehensibility and manageability of life are reflected on the person’s perception of the spatiotemporal quality of life. The study established significant (positive and negative) correlations between the components of the sense of coherence and time perspective. The study found that the meaningfulness of life as an emotional component is not an indicator of a person's purposefulness or positive emotions in relation to the past and present. But comprehension largely affects the importance of what is happening in the present and in the past. Controllability is rather an indicator of the unity of the life temporary line. The overall level of coherence reflects the level of coherence of the past, present, and future. The subjects who have a more positive attitude to their own past and present, which is under their control, showed a predominance of the level of comprehension and a decrease in the level of meaningfulness. At the same time, an increase in the level of meaningfulness entails a decrease in the focus on the future. But the level of controllability of life depends only on the level of fatalism of the present.

Education And Society

Although liberal Islamic teachings stipulate that education is a mandatory right for all Muslims regardless of gender, and encourages the pursuit of education and wisdom from the cradle to the grave, and despite what is written in the hadith1 concerning the Prophet's positive attitude towards education for both genders, some scholars and rulers in the past have not given importance to education for women. Historically, education for women has been restricted to the realm of religious matters. As a “means to an end” and “in fear of causing unrest,” some have endeavored to persuade Muslim communities to “deny” women the right to literacy and to discourage them from furthering their education.

The article is devoted to the study of the assessment of past experience in connection with the peculiarities of the value-semantic sphere of students aged 19 to 21 years. It presents a comparative analysis of the results of the study of students of the Faculty of Psychology with various attitudes to past experience, by dividing them into two groups with a positive and neutral-negative assessment of past experience. The analysis is carried out on the basis of a number of techniques that allow one to see the substantive aspects of the value-semantic and motivational spheres of students. The study of value orientations in groups was carried out, differences in the level of significance of the studied values for the respondents were revealed. The study of terminal values showed that a happy family life is the main one for the group with a positive attitude to the past, while for the second group health, love and self-confidence are more important. With regard to instrumental values, it was revealed that a group with a positive assessment of the past considers responsibility as the most important, while the other emphasizes honesty. It was found out that groups with a positive attitude to past experience are distinguished by greater satisfaction with the results of life in the present period of time, meaningful life process and a higher level of motivation.
