The Investigation of the Static and Dynamic Features Involved in the Cognitive Processes. Dr. R. Stanik奴nas. 2011鈥�2015.

The temporal sensitivity of flashing light on human visual system was investigated. The two separate lights flashing at different temporal intervals were presented under coloured background. The subject鈥檚 task was to evaluate which light flashed first or both lights flashed together. First part of the experiment was devoted to analyze dependency between temporal resolution and lightness difference between stimuli. Two red stimuli with different lightness were tested under achromatic background. The second part of the experiment was devoted to analyzing dependency between temporal resolution and background colour. The three primary LED鈥檚 (red, green and blue) were used as flash lights. The background including full visual field was illuminated by one of the primary LED鈥檚 or D65 illuminant composed of three primary LED鈥檚. Results show, that for some subjects two flashed stimuli with different lightness shows better temporal resolution than flashed equal lightness stimulus. For others there was no significant difference between stimuli lightness and temporal resolution. The background colour has an effect on temporal resolution of two spatially separated flashing stimuli. At this point of the research it is difficult to derive a relationship because of high attention impact on decision making.

Early Development of Self-Regulation: the Study of Biological and Psychosocial Factors. Doc. R. Jusien臈. 2009鈥�2012.

This longitudinal research aims at analyzing prospectively the predictors of self-regulation in early childhood. The participants are more than 70 children and their parents. During the 2009鈥�2011 years the 6 assessment stages were implemented (during the prenatal period, 1 month after birth, at infants鈥� age 3, 6 and 12 months, and at age of 2 years). Different biomedical and psychosocial factors were considered; also children鈥檚 emotional and behavioural problems and developmental milestones, and parental self-efficacy were assessed. In 2012 the 7th stage of research was implemented. The children鈥檚 emotional and behavioural problems, the children鈥檚 temperament, the parenting behaviour strategies were assessed. Two papers for master degree and two bachelors鈥� thesis (under the supervision of R. Jusien臈) reporting the data analysis are recently prepared.

Psychological Factors and Outcomes of Social Interaction. Prof. G. Valickas. 2011鈥�2015.

In 2012 the two research works were conducted. The first research examined the congruence between functioning of Lithuanian criminal justice and the requirements of procedural justice as well as people鈥檚 attitudes towards the law, law enforcement institutions and officers. During the implementation of research work, the criminal court trials were observed (n = 57), prisoners (n = 73), victims of crime (n = 70), drivers (n = 361) and other citizens (n = 416) of our country were interviewed. The results revealed that there are some positive changes in law enforcement officers鈥� (particularly judges鈥�) behaviour. In comparison with previous (2004 year) results, law enforcement officers鈥� behaviour is more congruent with the requirements of procedural justice. However, the changes are not sufficient. Still there are quite big differences between existing and desirable behaviour of officers. Respondents鈥� evaluations are ambivalent and express both favourable and unfavourable attitudes towards law and law enforcement officers. It was found, that people trust in law enforcement institutions more than in officers; moreover, behaviour of judges is evaluated as more positive than behaviour of policemen. These evaluations of the behaviour of law enforcement officers are related to the personal experience of respondents.
The second research was devoted to further standardization of Lithuanian Well-Being Scale (LPGS). First of all, the structure of LPGS was determined on the sample of students. In total, 461 university students took part in the study (68.8 % female, 31% male, 0.2% non-identified; M = 22.6 years). After conducting exploratory factor analysis and parallel analysis, 91 item was retained and the following subscales were distinguished: Global satisfaction with life and oneself as a person, Negative emotionality, Purposefulness in life, Satisfaction with interpersonal relationships, Satisfaction with family relationships, Satisfaction with the living standards, Satisfaction with physical health, Perceived control, Satisfaction with life in Lithuania. In this study, the LPGS has proven to have adequate psychometric properties. The above nine subscales account for 53.7 percent of total variance. The internal consistency test revealed average to very high subscale reliability, Cronbach alphas ranging from 0.67 (Satisfaction with life in Lithuania) to 0.95 (Global satisfaction with life and oneself as a person). After determination of LPGS structure the relations of its subscales with sociodemografic variables in a sample drawn from Lithuanian adult population (528 subjects). Statistically significant gender differences were found in three out of nine psychological well-being subscales. Females seem to be more satisfied with their interpersonal relationships and their family relationships, whereas males demonstrate higher scores in perceived control. Respondent age was found to be positively correlating with purposefulness, satisfaction with interpersonal relationships and satisfaction with life in Lithuania, however, it is negatively correlating with satisfaction with one鈥檚 physical health. Moreover, a between-group comparison (using a two-way ANOVA) has revealed that, compared to males, females in 18鈥�22, 23鈥�29 and 30鈥�49 age groups tend to be more satisfied with their family relationships; whereas in the >50 age group the results are reverse 鈥� males in this age group demonstrate higher satisfaction with their family relationships. Marital status seems to be an important factor as well. Respondents living with a partner (married or cohabiting) report higher scores in the majority of psychological well-being domains than respondents who indicated to be single, separated or widowed. Furthermore, as seen from the regression analysis, marital status is a relatively important predictor of psychological well-being. Compared between different places of residence, respondents living in central locations (e.g. regional centre) report higher psychological well-being than those residing in the periphery. It was a rather important predictor of well-being as well. Subjective evaluation of one鈥檚 financial status was found to be the most important correlate 鈥� it is correlated with all psychological well-being domains. In turn, the regression analysis has shown that, all the socio-demographic variables put together, subjective evaluation of one鈥檚 financial status is the best predictor of psychological wellbeing, i.e. the better the evaluation of one鈥檚 financial status, the higher the psychological well-being.

Psychological Well-Being of Students: Learning, Behaviour and Health Problems. Doc. Dr. L. Bulotait臈. 2011鈥�2015.

The aim of this study was to analyse well-being, stress and subjective health status of students.
213 students of social sciences participated in the research. 86.9% female, 13.1% male; 131 1st year students, 82 4th year students. Specially designed questionnaire and Ryffscales of Psychological Well-being were used.
Well-being of students was connected to stress in different life areas. Results revealed that when stress fullness of different life areas of students increases, the wellbeing scores decrease. The strongest correlation was between well-being and stress, connected to independence of students. The lowest impaction on students well-being was caused by such stressful events as student life, changed relations with parents and selected study programme. The overall psychological well-being scores of students increased from freshman to senior years. Psychological well-being of students was also connected to health status of students. There was negative correlation between different symptoms, which students experience at least once per week, and different aspects of psychological wellbeing. The more students were satisfied with the selected study programme, the higher was their psychological wellbeing estimation.

Test Adaptation and Standardization. Doc. Dr. G. Gintilien臈. 2011鈥�2015.

Lithuanian sample of 3455 children aged 11 to 17.5 was tested using Raven鈥檚 Standard Progressive Matrices Plus (SPM+) and also 1087 children from 14 to 17.5 years were tested using Advanced Progressive Matrices (APM). Data from this study was used to assess scale ability and validity of the tests. Split- half internal consistency and Kuder-Richardson correlations were used to determine test reliability. The construct validity of SPM+ and APM was supported by Item- Response Theory based analysis and also by correlation analysis between age and mean raw scores. The criterion-related validity was confirmed by relationship of tests scores and children鈥檚 school achievement (marks in Lithuanian language and mathematics).
