The aim of the study is to design a psychological profile of elite, Polish, short track athletes, based on their temperamental traits and impulsiveness. This study found that the short track athletes obtained the highest scores on the temperamental persistence scale (P). This means that they are persistent and stable individuals who pursue their goals despite frustration and fatigue [32]. This is consistent with our hypotheses and also with previous research on athletes in diverse disciplines [53].

By doing so, one unknowingly falls into the self-perpetuating spiral of the problem that is an addiction. In the fight against addictions the most effective treatment is psychotherapy focused on changing existing behaviours, attitudes, beliefs and habits. It is important to make the addicted person aware of the specific problem they are facing and the long-term social, psychological and health consequences of their addiction. The Experience of Climate Change Scale was developed by Clayton and Karazsia (2020) as a validation means for the CAS scale. The experience of climate change consists of three statements and measures an individual's perception of being affected by climate change (e.g., I have been directly affected by climate change). The responses are rated on a 5-point Likert scale from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree).

However, we do not exclude that future validation studies in different cultures will confirm the 3-factor solution. Exploratory factor analysis studies of the CAS are required to examine its factor structure in different cultures. Experiencing climate change can have different effects on psychological functioning in different groups (Clayton, 2020).

  • A k-means cluster analysis was used to determine dispositional profiles.
  • As only the Polish national team members (i.e., the best ones) were examined, it should be remembered that the results can be generalized only to the athletes at a high sport level.
  • The availability of venues on which it can be practiced plays a significant role in the sport gaining popularity.
  • The experience of climate change consists of three statements and measures an individual's perception of being affected by climate change (e.g., I have been directly affected by climate change).
  • Because we want to help everyone, including non-Dutch employees, we are looking for Polish speaking therapists, who also knows the Polish culture and customs.

The obtained results allow the application of parametric tests in the statistical analysis of the variables. Internal reliability of particular scales was measured by Cronbach’s alpha. Its value ranged from 0.63 for the lack of premeditation (LPr) scale to 0.91 for the harm avoidance (HA) scale.

It is also important to know the source of the problem, to increase self-esteem and self-confident. The profession of psychologist is one of the professions of public trust[1] and as such occupies a special place among the professions. A psychologist may also carry out research or teaching activities in the field of psychology.

Climate Change Anxiety Assessment: The Psychometric Properties of the Polish Version of the Climate Anxiety Scale

Long-term stress and uncontrolled anxiety or aggression can negatively affect mental and physical health. • Sleep disorders – they can be a symptom of depression and other mental health disorders. Difficulty falling asleep as well as the problem with getting up in the morning should be investigated. • Depression - when depressive thoughts appear, visit a psychologist as soon as possible.

The subjects respond on a 4-point scale ranging from 1 (definitively true) to 4 (definitively false). Researchers are looking more at athletes of different sports, through the context of their psychological and dispositional variables [16]. The integration of qualitative and quantitative characteristics in profiling is also being investigated [29]. However, these studies have not considered temperamental traits in short track athletes, which makes them a population worth testing. Temperamental traits determine the choice in forms of activity of professional and sport character, which have a varied stimulus value [30].

Thus, without specialist psychological help, depression develops in secret. The psychologist in the course of therapy will help us to rationalise and become aware of the problems we are facing. Therapy for depression is about strengthening ways of coping with stress, gaining distance, and dealing with situations in which we feel helpless.

This confirms the hypothesis, that professional sport requires patience and tolerance of delayed gratification, thus a low level of athletes’ NS. Individuals with a high level of NS quickly lose interest when their needs are not met [32]; this also precludes them from being goal-oriented people, which is characterized by a high level of P. However, this outcome is contrary to that reported by Parmigiani et al. [54], who found that winning athletes show higher levels of NS than losing athletes. The outcome might polski psycholog Berlin be contrary to the results of Parmigiani et al. [54] due to the different characteristics of the studied disciplines (combat sports, and skating). According to Sohrabi at al. [55], athletes who participate in contact sports are more aggressive and more likely to be engaged in risky behaviors than athletes in non-contact sports. Individuals with higher levels of aggression also have lower levels of patience and tolerance for delayed gratification [56].

As only the Polish national team members (i.e., the best ones) were examined, it should be remembered that the results can be generalized only to the athletes at a high sport level. In future, similar research should be carried out among other athletes of the discipline (at lower levels), which would also increase the number of subjects. The TCI-R (56) [49,50] is currently the most used questionnaire to investigate Cloninger’s personality model.

In order to improve the functioning and well-being of my clients, I focus on their current life situation. I use treatment methods based on the strand of cognitive-behavioural psychology, which is recognised as the most effective in treating many common mental disorders. In addition, I often reflect with the client on the role of childhood and the their lives in the past.

The Polish version of the subscale is valid and reliable (Klamut, 2019). Multidimensional exploratory techniques and k-means cluster analysis were used to test the possibility of distinguishing a homogeneous group in terms of criterion variables (temperament, character and different forms of impulsivity). Teachers of Polish Supplementary Schools point out that there is a large group of children with speech related problems. These problems are very often linked to bilingualism and the use, or lack of use, of their mother tongue at home. Although parents make efforts to obtain diagnosis of the speech related problems of their children, there are sometimes barriers in the form of limited English language skills. There are more and more situations where the difference in the language proficiency between children and parents is increasing and causing lack of learning support.
