    A koronavírus elleni védőoltással kapcsolatos vélekedések – az egészségügyi dolgozók szerepe az ismeretek átadásában 2020 decemberében = Opinions about coronavirus vaccination – the role of healthcare workers in communication in December 2020
    (2021) Mirnics Zsuzsanna
    Bevezetés: A koronavírus elleni védőoltással kapcsolatos vélekedések igen aktuális, társadalmi szempontból fontos te rületét adják az egészségmagatartással foglalkozó kutatásoknak. Célkitűzés: Vizsgálatunk a védőoltásról különbözőképpen vélekedő (oltást elutasító, oltást választó, oltáson nem gondolkodó, valamint bizonytalan) csoportok elemzését tűzte ki célul az oltás előnyeinek és hátrányainak, valamint az információforrások használatának tekintetében. Módszer: A mintát „A koronavírus-járvány okozta lelki tényezők utánkövetéses vizsgálatának” 2020 decemberében felvett adatai adják; a vizsgálat során 1009 fő válaszait egyszempontos varianciaanalízissel elemeztük. Eredmények: Eredményeink azt mutatják, hogy a budapestiek és a Közép-Magyarországon élők, az idősebbek, a férfiak, a magasabb iskolai végzettségűek, valamint a házasok választják nagyobb eséllyel a védőoltást. Az oltásról különbözőképpen vélekedő csoportokat az oltás előnyei jobban elkülönítik egymástól, mint az oltás hátrányai. Az előnyök közül a csoportokat főképp a társas, társadalmi érdekekre fókuszáló tételek differenciálják, melyek a járvány megfékezéséről, a fertőzés átadásáról szólnak. A használt információforrásokat elemezve pedig elmondható, hogy mind a négy csoport jobban támaszkodik a személyes (család, barátok) és az orvosi, egészségügyből érkező információkra, mint a médiából érkező hírekre. Következtetés: Az oltási csoportok véleménye az oltás pozitív hozadékait, különösképp társadalmi hasznosságát illetően tér el, mely vélemények a leginkább a személyes kapcsolatokon, így az egészségügyi dolgozók álláspontján keresztül formálódnak. Tehát az egészségügyben dolgozóknak kiemelkedő szerepük van a hozzájuk tanácsért fordulók differenciált megértésében, szakértői tájékoztatásában és megfelelő tanácsokkal való ellátásában.

    Gratitude and social support mediate the association between mindfulness and mood: A cross-cultural replication study
    (2022) Mirnics Zsuzsanna
    Swickert and colleagues surveyed young adults in the United States and found that gratitude and social support mediated the association between mindfulness and mood (both positive and negative affect). This study attempted to replicate Swickert et al.’s mediational findings using a young adult Hungarian sample. Results indicated that with one exception, the mediational findings were replicated. The exception was that for the Hungarians, gratitude did not mediate the association between mindfulness and negative affect. Overall, these findings indicate that the mediational effects of gratitude and social support are quite similar for individuals living in the United States and Hungary.

    Gratitude, Religiousness and Well-Being
    (2021) Ferenczi Andrea; Tanyi Zsuzsanna; Mirnics Zsuzsanna; Kovács Dóra; Mészáros Veronika; Hübner Andrea; Kövi Zsuzsanna
    Background: Previous research has identified the positive effects of gratitude on happiness and well-being. It has been found that spirituality can enhance gratitude and well-being. Our study aimed to examine the link between gratitude and subjective well-being among religious and non-religious people. Furthermore, we tested if a 4-week long gratitude diary has a positive effect on subjective well-being. Subjects and methods: In our online, qualitative investigation the sample consisted of 54 males and 169 females (mean age = 39.13, SD=15.90). 54.1% of respondents regarded themselves as “religious with a given religion”, 24.8% as “religious on my own way”, and 21.2% as “non-religious”. The experimental group (leading a gratitude diary for 4 weeks) with 103 individuals and a control group with 120 individuals with no differences in age, gender, and religiousness. We compared the questionnaires’ results (filled out both before and after the intervention) of the experimental group (n=103) with the results of the control group (n=120) similarly filled out on two different occasions. We applied the Gratitude Resentment and Appreciation Test and the Subjective Well-being Scale. Results: Our results showed that religious people showed an elevated level of gratitude (F(2, 219)=23.66, p<0.001), but the same well-being (F(2, 219)=1.97, p=0.142) compared to non-religious groups. In the experiment group, gratitude and subjective well-being both increased (p<0.01), and there were no significant changes in the control group. 2x2 ANOVA showed significant interaction effect (Subjective well-being: (F(1, 221)=13.32, p<0.001); Gratitude: F(1, 221)=12.43, p<0.001). Conclusion: Religiousness is linked to higher gratitude and an increase in gratitude can result in an increase in subjective well-being. The importance of gratitude diary both among religious and non-religious people will be discussed.

    Online and offline video game use in adolescents: measurement invariance and problem severity
    (2017) Smohai Máté; Urbán Róbert; Griffiths, Mark D.; Király Orsolya; Mirnics Zsuzsanna; Vargha András; Demetrovics Zsolt
    Background: Despite the increasing popularity of video game playing, little is known about the similarities and differences between online and offline video game players. Objectives: The aims of this study were (i) to test the applicability and the measurement invariance of the previously developed Problematic Online Gaming Questionnaire (POGQ) in both online and offline gamers and to (ii) examine the differences in these groups. Methods: Video game use habits and POGQ were assessed in a sample of 1,964 (71% male) adolescent videogame players. Those gamers who played at least sometimes in an online context were considered “online gamers,” while those who played videogames exclusively offline were considered “offline gamers.” Results: Confirmatory factor analysis supported the measurement invariance across online and offline videogame players. According to the multiple indicators multiple causes (MIMIC) model, online gamers were more likely to score higher on overuse, interpersonal conflict, and social isolation subscales of the POGQ. Conclusion: The results of the present study suggest that online and offline gaming can be assessed using the same psychometric instrument. These findings open the possibility for future research studies concerning problematic video gaming to include participants who exclusively play online or offline games, or both. However, the study also identified important structural features about how online and offline gaming might contribute differently to problematic use. These results provide important information that could be utilized in parental education and the prevention program about the possible detrimental consequences of online vs. offline video gaming.

    Person-oriented Approach in Examining Chinese-Hungarian Personality and Affective Disorder Profiles
    (2021) Kövi Zsuzsanna; Mirnics Zsuzsanna; Shen Chanchan; Wang Chu; Wang Wei
    Abstract Background: Our Chinese-Hungarian crosscultural research aimed to apply a person-oriented approach on examining patterns of cultural, personality and affective disorder variables. Subjects and methods: Our sample consisted of 238 Chinese and 167 Hungarian university students under the age of 26 years old. 238 Chinese university students (112 males, 126 females; mean age: 19.55, SD: 1.60) and 167 Hungarian University students (65 males and 100 females; mean age: 20.47, SD: 1.83) participated in our research. All individuals were under 26 years old. No gender (χ2(df=1)=2.32, p=0.127)) and no age differences between countries were observed. We analyzed in person-oriented approach the Zuckerman-Kuhlman-Aluja Personality Questionnaire, the universal values scale of Schwartz and three affective disorder questionnaires (Mood Disorder Questionnaire, Hypomania checklist, PVP Depression Scale). Results: We applied model-based clustering that resulted in a model with five spherical, varying volume components. This meant that five clusters emerged, five typical patterns of the cultural, personality and affective variables. Significant cultural difference arose (χ2(df=4)=79.489, p<0.000)) in cluster proportions. In three clusters, proportion of Chinese was significantly higher than proportion (Overcontrolled: 82.6%, Reserved: 71.1%, Ordinary: 60.5%) of Hungarian. In the two remaining clusters, majority were Hungarian (Positive Sensation Seeker: 90.0%, Aggressive-Impulsive: 80.4%). Moreover, different psychiatric vulnerability emerge in relation to different profiles. Profiles that are more typical to Hungarians, have high sensation seeking level, and show vulnerability to hypomania, mood disorder and impulsive depression. On the other hand, typical Chinese profiles are linked to vulnerability of non-impulsive depression. Conclusions: In sum, culture and cultural values play an important role in the vulnerability of different affective disorders. These differences can be linked to different typical personality patterns.

    Psychometric properties of the Hungarian adaptation of the Sport Motivation Scale II
    (2021) Smohai Máté; Szemes Ágnes; Bernhardt-Torma Noémi; Mirnics Zsuzsanna; Bóna K.; Kovács K.; Gyömbér N.; Béres R.; Kövi Zsuzsanna; Mészáros Veronika; Tanyi Zsuzsanna; Kovács Dóra; Vass Zoltán; Tóth L.
    Introduction: Current research on sport motivation mostly focuses on the Self-Determination Theory, which has brought a qualitatively novel approach in the field by making a distinction between six types of motivation. The present study tested the reliability and validity of the Hungarian adaptation of the Sport Motivation Scale II (SMS-II) with a large sample of athletes. The assessment of the psychometric properties focused on the factor structure, construct validity and convergent validity of the Hungarian version. Methods: The sample included 1197 Hungarian athletes aged 11 to 67 years, who engaged in more than 50 different sports. The test battery comprised the Hungarian adaptations of the SMS-II, the Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS-H), the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES), the Competitive State Anxiety Inventory 2 (CSAI-2), and the Flow State Questionnaire (PPL-FSQ). Results: Considering that each subscale of the SMS-II consists of only three items, all subscales showed acceptable internal consistency. A confirmatory factor analysis revealed that the original sixfactor model showed the best fit with the data. All fit indices obtained for this model fell within the acceptable range. The examination of construct validity revealed the expected simplex pattern of the subscales, while the associations between the SMS-II and the measures used to test convergent validity were consistent with those obtained in previous studies. Discussions: The Hungarian version of the SMS-II provides a reliable and valid measure of sport motivation based on the Self-Determination Theory. The only inconsistency between the observed data and the theoretical model was that intrinsic motivation did not show a closer association with integrated regulation than with identified regulation, which finding is probably related to the contents of the involved subscales. Conclusions: A possible future direction of construct validity analysis and improvement may be focused on content refinement. Specifically, the construct validity of the Hungarian SMS-II could possibly be improved by completing the items assessing intrinsic motivation with references to the positive experience directly related to the activity itself.

    Relations Between God-Images and Early Maladaptive Schemas
    (2021) Ferenczi Andrea; Mirnics Zsuzsanna; Kövi Zsuzsanna
    Our God-image not only determines the nature of our relationship with God, it also influences our personality, actions, self-concept, mindset, and social relations. It acts within and through us. Although everyone has a God-image regardless of whether one is a believer or not-same congregation gives accounts of diverse God images. Schema is a widely used term in psychology. Schemas describe cognitive structures that filter, encode and interpret the stimuli affecting the person. They can influence the perception of reality, which later impacts the behavior and mood of the individual and in severe cases can result in pathology. The factors influencing the God-image and early maladaptive schemas both have proven roots in early childhood and are impacted by the child-parent relationship. Our research focuses on examining the connection between maladaptive schemas and the God-image and their relation to parental influence. Keywords: religiosity - God-image - early maladaptive schemas - attachment
