The study analyzes the problem whether locus of control and self-esteem can explain the unique variance in predicting sensitivity to injustice not explained by personality traits and whether personality traits interact with self-esteem and locus of control when predicting sensitivity to injustice. The research was conducted on the Slovak sample of 254 undergraduate students (71 males, 183 females) - mean age 21.3 (range 17-27). Sensitivity to injustice was measured by the Sensitivity to Injustice Questionnaire. To measure self-esteem Rosenberg's Self-Esteem Scale was used and personality traits were measured by the NEO-FFI. Rotter's Internality-Externality Scale was used to measure the locus of control. The correlation analysis showed that personality traits, locus of control and self-esteem correlate with sensitivity to injustice. Hierarchical regression analyses revealed that the personality traits explain 30% of cognitive level of sensitivity to injustice variance. Adding locus of control and self-esteem to the predictors increased the variance explained by the model by 4%. The Big five traits explained 10% of the emotional level of sensitivity to injustice variance, locus of control and self-esteem explained additional 5%. Moreover, interaction analysis shows that internal locus of control acts as a buffer against the increase of unjust events perceived by a person with high neuroticism and antagonism.

This paper reviews research examining the impact of political and economic transition in the post-communist Central European countries on social psychological processes. While other aspects of democratization in Central Europe have been well documented, only recently have social psychologists turned their attention to this event. Since the collapse of communism, Central Europeans have a more internal sense of control and make more dispositional attributions for others' behaviour. After initial declines in subjective well-being during the first decade of the post-communist period, Central Europeans now have higher levels of well-being then they did at the beginning of the post-communist period. Central Europeans have also become more self-directed and have higher levels of general trust since the end of communism. Taken together these findings suggest that Central Europeans are unique in how quickly and successfully they have adapted to the rapid and massive institutional, political, economic, and social changes that accompanied democratization.

The aim of this research was twofold: (1) to find out if there is a relationship between the rate of social discounting, and the degree of consanguinity with the sharing group members, (2) to find out if the rate of social discounting correlates with two personality traits: Rotter's locus of control, and agreeableness from the Costa's and McCrae's Five Factors personality model. Participants completed a social discounting questionnaire, Rotter's I-E Scale, and Costa's and McCrae's NEO FFI questionnaire. In the social discounting questionnaire participants' task was to indicate their preferences regarding pairs of hypothetical amounts of money: one to be received for themselves, and the other one to be shared with the group of relatives or strangers. The rate of social discounting was higher when the sharing group consisted of strangers as opposed to the group consisted of relatives. In addition, a positive correlation was revealed between the rate of social discounting and the degree of agreeableness. The results support a hypothesis stating that people prefer to share a reward with relatives rather then with strangers. The finding can be explained within an evolutionary psychology framework. It can be understood as an example of kin altruism.
