Item Anna Odrowąż-Coates, Fata Morgana of the Saudi women’s cultural space, Kraków 2015: Impuls Publishing House, pp. 302(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2015) Jarosz, Ewa; Gierczyk, MarcinItem Physical and Relational Aggression. An Introduction to Gender Differentiation(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2017) Andraszczyk, Wojciech; Gierczyk, MarcinThis article attempts a preliminary analysis of physical and relational aggression in the context of gender. The study of literature on the subject shows that the relations between gender and the above types of aggression are complex and fitperfectly the debate between proponents of biological determinism and social constructivism. It is difficultto derive a conclusion from both the results of empirical research on this problem and theoretical considerations, which are often ideology-dependent.Item Pojęcie „zdolność” w narracji studentów angielskich i polskich. Ujęcie kognitywne(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2017) Gierczyk, MarcinThe purpose of this publication is to show how students from Poland and England defineand understand the concept of ‘giftedness’. The analyses result from the author’s research conducted over the years 2013-2016. In the interviews, the students presented their own associations with the matter. Materials collected from 30 respondents, including 15 students from Śląski University and from a Lublin University and 15 students from Oxford University, showed that the concept of ‘giftedness’ is understood by Polish students identically to English students. ‘Giftedness’ was definedby a series of connotations: ‘creativity’, ‘talent’, ‘ability to do something’, ‘predisposition’, and ‘organization of thinking’.Item The Contribution of Gifted Individuals and Nonconformist Behaviours to Virtues in the Public Sphere(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2018) Gierczyk, MarcinGiftedness and nonconformist behaviour have become a source of great interest in both the public sphere and in educational research. This is related to the fact that nonconformity (as a personality and character trait) has been, and still is, an indispensable element of the creative transformation of societies in the public sphere.1 The paper presents results of research conducted in the years 2014-2016 on the level of nonconformity of gifted students in Poland and England. The research, conducted with the Creative Behaviour Questionnaire III (CBQ III), was undertaken among 30 purposefully selected students from the University of Silesia (Poland) as well as Oxford University (England). By considering both the influence of nonconformists on the transformations taking place in the public sphere, and also the results of my research, I will examine whether nonconformity is a potential source of strength or weakness to the public sphere. In this context nonconformist is a person who does not conform to a generally accepted pattern of thought or action.
