Mood Congruence Effect in AutobiographicalRecall: Is Mood a Mediator?1

Saa Drae1and Olivier Desrichard2

1University of Sarajevo, Bosnia-Herzegovina2Universit de Geneve, Suisse

In the present study we test the hypothesis that the effect of mood congruencein autobiographical recall is underlain by mood. Thirty-eight female participants weresubjected to positive, negative and neutral mood inductions, and then asked to recall threepersonal memories. Participants mood was assessed using self-report questionnaires and byelectromyograph (EMG) measurements of corrugator supercilii and zygomaticus major muscleactivity. We replicated the congruence effect between the mood inductions and the valenceof the participants recalled memories. Furthermore, this effect was mediated by mood, asmeasured by EMG and self-report questionnaires. The results suggest that mood influences themood congruence effect in a way that cannot be explained by semantic priming alone.

Key words:Mood congruence, autobiographical recall, affective priming, semantic priming

Natural selection favoured survival of individuals who were able to avoid disease.The behavioural immune system is activated especially when our sensory system comesinto contact with disease-connoting cues and/or when these cues resemble disease threat.We investigated whether or not perception of modern risky technologies, risky behaviour,expected reproductive goals and food neophobia are associated with the behavioural immunesystem related to specific attitudes toward genetically modified (GM) products. We found

that respondents who felt themselves more vulnerable to infectious diseases had significantlymore negative attitudes toward GM products. Females had less positive attitudes towardGM products, but engaging in risky behaviours, the expected reproductive goals of femalesand food neophobia did not predict attitudes toward GM products. Our results suggest thatevolved psychological mechanisms primarily designed to protect us against pathogen threatare activated by modern technologies possessing potential health risks.

The LA Aggression Scale for Elementary Schooland Upper Secondary School Students:Examination of Psychometric Propertiesof a New Multidimensional Measure of

Self Reported Aggression

Ana Kozina

Educational Research Institute, Slovenia

The paper introduces a new multidimensional scale LA (lestvica agresivnosti[Aggression Scale]) for measuring self-reported aggression in elementary and upper secondaryschool students in Slovenia. The scale has been developed with a special focus on the schoolsetting, using three elementary school samples (preliminary study: N=2777; main study:N=10427 and validity and test-retest study:N=191) representative of 4thand 8thgrade students

in Slovenia and one upper secondary school sample (N=3253) representative of the final yearof upper secondary school in Slovenia. The exploratory analyses using principal componentanalyses (PCA) revealed a four-factor structure: verbal aggression, physical aggression,internal aggression and aggression towards authority that were interrelated. Confirmatoryfactor analyses (CFA) showed that the items of the scale formed four factors that were relatedto the higher order factor. The structure turned out to be stable over different age groups. Thescale demonstrated adequate internal consistency, concurrent validity and test-retest stability.

Key words:aggression, school, psychometric property

Brief Implicit Association Test: Validity and utility inprediction of voting behavior

Maa D. Pavlovi and Iris L. eelj

Department of Psychology, Faculty of Philosophy, University of Belgrade, Serbia

We employed the Brief Implicit Association Test (a recently developed short versionof IAT) to measure implicit political attitudes toward four political parties running for Serbianparliament. To test its criterion validity, we measured voting intention and actual votingbehavior. In addition, we introduced political involvement as a potential moderator of theBIATs predictive and incremental validity. The BIAT demonstrated good internal and predictivevalidity, but lacked incremental validity over self-report measures. Predictive power of theBIAT was moderated by political involvement the BIAT scores were stronger predictors ofvoting intention and behavior among voters highly involved in politics.

Key words:Brief Implicit Association Test, political attitudes, voting behavior, political involvement

Social, psychological and ideological rootsof nationalist attitudes in Serbia

Bojan TodosijeviInstitute of social sciences, Center for politicology and public opinion research, Belgrade

Individual differences in nationalist attitudes have been approached from a variety ofperspectives. In the sociological tradition, nationalist attitudes are seen as specific for certainsocio-demographic categories, typically those indicative of socio-economic and culturaldeprivation. Psychological literature typically places stronger emphasis on dispositionalconstructs. Researchers studying the structure of social attitudes emphasize the importance ofgeneral ideological orientations.

This paper examines to what extent the aforementioned approaches contribute tounderstanding nationalist attitudes in Serbia. The research is based on a random sample ofadult residents of Belgrade. According to hierarchical regression analysis results, the socio-demographic variables explain about 19 percent of variance in nationalist attitudes. The modelimproves significantly when the dispositional variables are added (explaining 44 percent ofvariance in total), as well as the ideological variables (68 percent of variance in total).

The results showed that ideological variables are proximal factors that mediate theinfluence of psychological dispositions and social factors. Authoritarianism proved to be thekey dispositional variable. The paper concludes that a more complex model is superior incomparison with simpler models, limited by disciplinary conventions.

Key words:nationalist attitudes, authoritarianism, social dominance orientation, ideology, Serbia

1Faculty of Sports and Physical Education2Teachers Training Faculty

Starting from Biggss 3P model of teaching and learning, research was aimed toinvestigate occurrence and relationship of learning approaches (deep, surface) with type ofsecondary education, gender, type of teacher training faculty and academic achievement.Sample consisted of 356 students of the Faculty of Sport and Physical Education and TeacherTraining Faculty in Belgrade. Biggss Revised two-factor Study Process Questionnaire

(R-SPQ2F) was used for investigation of the learning approaches. Results indicate thatstudents of both faculties significantly more employ deep approach compared to surfaceapproach. Analysis of variance demonstrates that independent variables, i.e., type ofsecondary education, gender, and type of teacher training faculty, have specific influence onstudying approaches. Significant correlations exist between both approaches and academicachievement, positive with deep and negative with surface approach. Results stress theimportance of reduction of surface and support of deep approach as desirable for improvementof academic success of prospective teachers.

Key words: learning approaches, Biggss 3P model of teaching and learning, academicachievement.

Exploring the Factor Structure of the Parent ReadingBelief Inventory (PRBI): Example of Serbia

Jelena Radii and Nada eva

Institute for Educational Research, Belgrade, Serbia

In the present study we explored the core factor structure originally proposed by thedeveloper of the Parent Reading Belief Inventory (PRBI) DeBaryshe (DeBaryshe & Binder,1994; DeBaryshe, 1995). The PRBI was developed to assess and explore parents beliefsabout reading aloud to their children, measuring parents attitudes and perceptions about howchildren learn, the content of their learning and parental efficacy in the process. The PRBI issupposed to have 7 underlying subscales and a total score. Using a sample of 227 parents inSerbia our analyses showed internal consistency estimates were not in line with those reportedby the authors of the PRBI. Using confirmatory factor analysis the subscale models showedsubstantial variance in how well they fit. Better fit was found for the overall models for theentire PRBI scale. Among them, the correlated factors model exhibited the best fit indices.Limitations and future research are discussed.

Impact of different conditions on accuracyof five rules for principal components retention

Aleksandar Zori and Goran Opai

Department of Psychology, Faculty of Philosophy, University of Belgrade, Serbia

Polemics about criteria for nontrivial principal components are still present in theliterature. Finding of a lot of papers, is that the most frequently used Guttman Kaiserscriterion has very poor performance. In the last three years some new criteria were proposed.In this Monte Carlo experiment we aimed to investigate the impact that sample size, numberof analyzed variables, number of supposed factors and proportion of error variance haveon the accuracy of analyzed criteria for principal components retention. We compared thefollowing criteria: Bartletts 2 test, Horns Parallel Analysis, Guttman-Kaisers eigenvalueover one, Velicers MAP and CHull originally proposed by Ceulemans & Kiers. Factorswere systematically combined resulting in 690 different combinations. A total of 138,000simulations were performed. Novelty in this research is systematic variation of the error

variance. Performed simulations showed that, in favorable research conditions, all analyzedcriteria work properly. Bartletts and Horns criterion expressed the robustness in most ofanalyzed situations. Velicers MAP had the best accuracy in situations with small number ofsubjects and high number of variables. Results confirm earlier findings of Guttman-Kaiserscriterion having the worse performance.

Key words:Principal component analysis, Criterion for extraction, Factor retention
