The aim of the study was an analysis of the influence of temperamental traits, cognitive affect regulation strategies and intensity of posttraumatic symptoms disorder (PTSD) on the mood level in the group of 250 subjects (152 females and 98 males), who were exposed in life at least to one traumatic event. The study assessed concurrent relationships and based on self-report measures. The results showed that temperamental traits influence active strategies of affect-regulation and positive mood. On the other side the impact of symptoms of PTSD on avoidance strategies of affect-regulation and negative mood was recorded.

Purpose. A number of mental and physical benefits arise from leading an active lifestyle. Many forms of therapies make use of physical activity to reinforce rehabilitation as well as improve the condition of the body and mind. It is in this way that an individual can improve their well-being through cleansing the body of negative emotions and seek inner harmony, which is one of the most important features of mental health. However, the question arises whether all forms of physical activity improve the emotional state of an individual in the same way. A qualitative change in mood may be in fact related to the methodical factors present in physical activity (the type of exercise, the training method or its intensity and frequency) but also an instructor's personality, the age and gender of the participant as well as their physical fitness and motor skills, the subject's current social and mental state, environmental factors or other factors related to everyday life such as work, family, etc. The aim of this study was to determine the changes in mood of physically active and highly fit people, aged 22-25 years, after various forms of physical activity and with different training methodologies. Methods. The Mood Adjective Check List (UMACL) was administered to 84 students before and after completing a course in a number of physical activities. Statistical methods were then applied to the results to measure the size of the differences and for any statistical significance. Results. The results found that regardless of the form of physical activity or class duration, there was a positive change in the mood of participants. Differences in size of the changes, when compared to the forms of physical activity and gender, were not found. Conclusions. The improvement in mood of fit and regularly physically active adults is observed regardless what form of physical activity is practiced.

The purpose of the article is to present the main problems connected with the research into mood influence on different areas of human functioning. The author enumerates five basic problems which are: (1) the ambiguous use of the terms which refer to the affective processes, (2) the lack of mood induction procedure and the mood estimation measures which would prevent the subjects from guessing the aim of the study, (3) in the case of research into relatively permanent mood, the inconsistency which makes it impossible to clearly distinguish the individuals in a depressive mood from those who have been clinically diagnosed as suffering from depression, (4) the lack of research done on the subjects who are constantly in a positive mood, (5) the relatively small amount of research dealing with mood influence on specific aspects of human functioning as well as with meditative mechanisms. According to the author, finding the solution to the observed problems would make it possible to explain a lot of discrepancies in the results of already-conducted research.

Research indicates that emotions are predictive of sports performance. The application of emotion research to practice is that intervention strategies can be used to change emotions to enhance performance. The present study examined emotional profi les associated with successful performance. A review of studies indicate that there are general trends, that is, high activation emotions such as excitement and vigor tend to associate with good performance and low activation unpleasant emotions such as depression and dejection tend to associate with poor performance. Studies show mixed results for high activation unpleasant emotions (anger and anxiety). Athletes like to feel emotions that can be functional, and so some athletes will seek to increase or sustain relatively high levels of anger or anxiety if they believe they are helpful for performance. It is proposed that practitioners identify individual emotion-performance relationships and examine underlying beliefs associated with each emotion.

The focus of the paper is to offer a different perspective for the study of Spanish potentiality (or the epistemic modality). It presents a number line that is used to illustrate the relations that can be found between reality and potentiality, and a methodology that makes it possible to place utterances that express potentiality on this line. Special attention is paid to the question of mood selection and also to the lexical expressions of this type of modality. The paper claims that the influence the use of subjunctive or indicative has on the modality of an utterance differs according to the character of the lexical expression of potentiality that precedes it.

Purpose. The aim of the study was: (1) to investigate changes in mood and chosen personality traits in women participating in a 12-week exercise program; (2) to establish relationships between mood and personality traits; (3) to find personality factors predicting mood changes. Basic procedures. Subjects included 39 healthy female volunteers, aged 18-43, participating in a 12-week aerobic exercise program. The aerobics classes lasted 50 min each, including warm-up and cool-down, three times a week. Assessments of mood (UMACL by Matthews, Chamberlain & Jones), trait anxiety (STAI by Spielberger et al.), self-efficacy (GSES by Schwarzer, Jerusalem & Juczyński) and dispositional optimism (LOT-R by Scheier, Carver & Bridges) were obtained in the first and last weeks of the program. Main findings. The obtained results showed that (1) subjects' mood improved following the 12-week aerobic exercise program - tense arousal decreased, whereas hedonic tone and energetic arousal increased; (2) personality traits changed toward better personal adjustment: trait anxiety decreased, self-efficacy and optimism increased; (3) there were no significant relationships between changes in positive mood dimensions (hedonic tone and energetic arousal) and the negative one (tense arousal); (4) there were no correlations between mood changes and personality changes, but mood correlated with trait anxiety, self-efficacy and optimism in both measurements. Conclusions. Mood of healthy adult women improves significantly following a three-month aerobic exercise program, irrespective of positive changes in personality traits.

The aim of the study was to analyze mood regulation in people practicing hatha yoga in the background of people who do not practice this sport activity. Materials and Methods: 96 Respondents from the Slaskie and Kujawsko-Pomorskie province took part in the research The subjects were divided into two groups: practicing hatha yoga (N = 46) and control (N = 49). The analysis was carried out by means of a diagnostic survey using the standardized tool: Mood Control Scales. During the tests, the age and sex of the respondents were taken into account. Results: The average results of males and females exercising and not exercising hatha yoga in the Elevated Mood Scale are very similar to each other and range from 3.91 to 3.97 in women and from 3.87 to 3.91 in men. The results of men in the Depressed Mood Scale, as in the Elevated Mood Scale, differ slightly. However, a large difference, up to 0%, can be noticed by observing the results of women, 2.22 for exercising women and 2.79 for non-exercising women. Conclusions: Practicing hatha yoga has a beneficial effect on the level of mood regulation, contributing to the improvement of the mental state, the implementation of vital tasks and life goals and, consequently, reducing the negative mood and proper social functioning. Decreasing the level of low mood positively affects the quality of life. People with the ability to regulate the mood are less subject to mechanisms exacerbating the negative mood and, consequently, do not undertake the procedures leading to this mood. It can therefore be assumed that a bad mood is not treated in the category of failure, life catastrophe or a state without a way out. The conducted research allowed to show a greater tendency to reduce the level of low mood in women practicing hatha yoga. In the analysis, there were dependencies between the tendencies of mood regulation and gender. These dependencies were seen in women, whereas with men this did not play a significant role research did not play a significant role. However, there was no negative effect of the hatha yoga exercise on the level of mood.

Following the suggestion expressed in the title of this essay, I deal with the idea which allows for considering landscape garden as a paradigmatic indicator of our rela-tionship with nature. Focusing on the idea of landscape garden and its aesthetics I ana-lyze two aesthetic notions: the picturesque and sublime, which are the background of the kind of experience accompanying a perception and participation of and in the land-scape and environment. I analyse the kind of experience, which captures all the aspects that situate the human in the environment instead of opposing it. The analysis will be conducted within the framework of aesthetics.

Driving anxiety is a relatively undervalued topic of research, despite the fact that it can have a substantial detrimental impact on an individuals’ life. The prevalence of driving anxiety in motor vehicle crash (MVC) survivors has been found to range from 18–77%. Although driving anxiety can develop without crash involvement, no information currently exists on the prevalence of driving anxiety in the general population. One barrier to gathering this information is that most of the instruments are designed to measure driving anxiety in MVC survivors. However, the Driving and Riding Avoidance Scale (DRAS; Stewart & St. Peter, 2004) is one instrument that shows promise as a more general measure of driving anxiety, although previous research has noted the need for some minor adaptations (Taylor & Sullman, 2009). Therefore, the present study investigated the psychometric properties of an adapted version of the DRAS and the level of driving anxiety amongst a sample of 210 Polish participants. Internal consistency for the overall DRAS was .91 and ranged from .77 to .85 for the subscales. Factor analysis of the DRAS resulted in two clear factors, with the fi rst containing driving avoidance items and the second consisting solely of riding avoidance items. Therefore it appears that the DRAS can be a useful measure of driving avoidance in samples drawn from the general population as well as MVC survivors.

Background: The aim of the research was to determine an influence of an increased number of outdoor lessons of Physical Education on aerobic fitness and to evaluate students’ attitude towards endurance efforts. Material/Methods: In the presented research project a group of students participated in a school program of Physical Education on the basis of a higher number of lessons realized in the natural environment in the vicinity of school. The subjects were a group of 220 students from 4 schools of the Pomeranian Voivodeship, who were subjected to initial and final measurements during two school years. The most important assumption of the research stated better effects of outdoor classes of Physical Education in comparison with indoor classes and the shortage of experimental factor influence on the correlation change between objective and subjective indices of fitness and attitudes related to it. Results: In the experimental group the most distinct differences between initial and final tests concerned the endurance measurement, similarly to the control group in which, however, the improvement in the final test was less noticeable. The correlation among three analyzed variables was significant for both research groups. The comparison of results of students from the experimental and the control groups demonstrates a positive influence of outdoor lessons on the level of endurance and, to a lower degree, on the feeling of effort fatigue and mood. Conclusions: The research was conducted with a use of three research tools: the mood scale, Cooper’s test and the subjective fatigue feeling with finished effort scale that allow a positive verification of the presented hypothesis, which should be an encouragement for wider practicing of innovative activities to bring closer the assumed aims of Physical Education to the aims actually achieved.

The quality of education in Ukraine depends on the level of professional health of pedagogical workers. The presence of changes in the psycho-emotional state of pedagogical workers under the influence of the labor process is confirmed by researches –hygienists, psychologists, teachers and requires further researches for finding optimal ways of correction of changes in the psycho-emotional state in the conditions of educational process in order to reduce the risk factors of deterioration in professional health of teachers. Clarification of optimum ways of correction of the psycho-emotional state of teachers has defined relevance of the study. The aim is to evaluate changes in the psycho-emotional state of pedagogical workers under the influence of isotherapy by the method called “mood assessment”. The criteria of an express assessment of the psycho-emotional state are defined by survey of 102 teachers of Sumy city. Workshop on isotherapy included accomplishment by pedagogical workers of five exercises within 30 minutes under the leadership of experts in arts and crafts. Five exercises of isotherapy included the following: creation of the mandala, simple blot drawing, imprints of leaves, spraying, imprinting by foam rubber. The study has found out that the psycho-emotional state of the pedagogical workers is characterized by mediocre mood (85,19±3,52 %), lack of an asthenic state (92,59±2,59 %) and an adequate assessment of surrounding events (88,89±3,11 %). The positive influence from isotherapy at pedagogical workers is shown in increase in level of mood of 4.12 % of respondents, normalization of asthenic manifestations by 3,24 % and increase by 13.66 % in the proportion of people with a moderate euphoric assessment of the surrounding events connected with creative process. Age features of changes of the psycho-emotional state under the influence of isotherapy are shown in most of its controllability in the senior age group (36–55 years) in comparison with younger age group. Changes in the psycho-emotional state of teachers of all qualification levels repeat the general regularities of influence of isotherapy, but for specialists the most controllable are asthenic manifestations, for teachers of the first category more significant are changes of mood, for teachers of the second category in the initial state is recorded euphoric state, and the teachers of the highest category are characterized by the most adequate assessment of surrounding events in the initial state. Prospects for further research are physiological justifications of influence of isotherapy at the psycho-emotional state of pedagogical workers.

Niektóre produkty mogą przypominać ludzi lub ludzkie zachowania. Powodować to może u konsumentów uaktywnienie się procesów antropomorfizacji. Celem artykułu jest określenie, jak płeć i nastrój ludzi wpływają na postrzeganie atrakcyjności samochodów o różnych typach cech antropomorficznych. Do realizacji tego celu przeprowadzono badanie na planie eksperymentu. Wyniki badania wskazują, że nastrój osób badanych różnicuje postrzeganie antropomorficznego samochodu w ramach płci. Kobiety w dobrym humorze oceniały antropomorficzny samochód wyrażający negatywne emocje dużo mniej pozytywnie niż mężczyźni. Nie wykazano natomiast wpływu pozostałych interakcji między zmiennymi na postrzeganie antropomorficznych samochodów.

An aim of the article is to define how the gender and mood of people affect the repception of attractiveness of cars with different types of anthropomorphic features. In order to achieve this goal the authors carried out a survey based on an experiment. The survey findings show that the respondents’ mood differentiate perception of the anthropomorphic car within the gender. Women in good humour were evaluating the anthropomorphic car expressing negative emotions much less positively than men. However, there was not revealed any impact of other interactions between variables on perception of anthropomorphic cars.

This article argues that there is a difference between nostalgic emotion and nostalgic mood and that the latter one often is a result of nostalgia’s inevitable link to death, entropy and teleology. It examines how nostalgic tropes, such as ruins, childhood, youth, astronomical representations, and subjective time (duration), inherited from the romantic poetry function as, and create, nostalgic death moods and retardations of eschatology in modernist fiction.

Ostatnie badania potwierdzają prozdrowotne właściwości czekolady, chociaż historia kakao jako leku sięga kilku tysięcy lat. Drzewo kakaowca rosnące w klimacie równikowym, w wierzeniach starożytnych Majów i Azteków, było boskim darem dla ludzkości zapewniającym mądrość i wiedzę uniwersalną. Z jego ziaren uzyskiwany jest proszek kakaowy służący do produkcji czekolady zawierającej wiele składników bioaktywnych, w tym witaminy, składniki mineralne, polifenole i kwasy tłuszczowe. Czekolada pozytywnie wpływa na nastrój, zmniejsza podatność na stany depresyjne oraz stres oksydacyjny. Spożycie czekolady w trakcie ciąży może poprawić stan psychiczny przyszłych matek i zmniejszyć negatywny wpływ matczynego stresu na niemowlę. Dzięki wysokiej zawartości flawanoli wykazuje właściwości przeciwzapalne, przeciwalergiczne, przeciwwirusowe oraz przeciwnowotworowe. Pozytywnie wpływa na pamięć i umiejętności poznawcze, może zmniejszyć ryzyko demencji. Regularne spożywanie produktów zawierających kakao zmniejsza ryzyko zgonu z przyczyn sercowo-naczyniowych, a zwłaszcza udaru mózgu, oraz może zmniejszyć obwodową oporność na insulinę u kobiet z cukrzycą typu 2. Działa pobudzająco po wysiłku psychicznym lub fizycznym. Zapewnia uczucie sytości, dlatego była dodawana do żołnierskich racji żywnościowych w czasie I wojny światowej. Należy jednak pamiętać, że spożycie czekolady podnosi poziom kwasu szczawianowego w moczu oraz może prowadzić do zaostrzenia objawów trądziku pospolitego. Jest toksyczna dla zwierząt. Czekolada zawiera również związki, których znaczenie dla zdrowia nie zostało szczegółowo poznane.

Recent research confirms the healthy properties of chocolate. However, the history of cocoa as a drug dates back several thousand years. The cocoa tree growing in the equatorial climate in the beliefs of the ancient Maya and Aztecs was a divine gift for humanity providing wisdom and universal knowledge. From its grains, cocoa powder is obtained for the production of chocolate, which contains many bioactive components, including vitamins, minerals, polyphenols and fatty acids. Chocolate positively affects the mood, reduces the susceptibility to depression and reduces oxidative stress. Consuming chocolate during pregnancy can improve the mental state of future mothers and reduce the negative impact of maternal stress on the infant. Due to the high content of flavanols it has antiinflammatory, antiallergic, anti-viral and anticancer properties. It positively affects memory and cognitive skills, and can reduce the risk of dementia. Regular consumption of products containing cocoa reduces the risk of death from cardiovascular causes, especially stroke, and may reduce peripheral insulin resistance in women with type 2 diabetes. It has a stimulating effect on men-tal and physical exercise. It provides a feeling of fullness, which is why it was added to soldier's food rations during the First World War. However, it should be remembered that the consumption of chocolate raises the level of oxalic acid in the urine, and may lead to exacerbation of acne vulgaris. What is very important, this product is toxic for animals. Chocolate also contains compounds whose health importance is not known in detail.
