Item type:Publication, Personality dimensions and student’s participatory behaviour in student organization(Institute for Sociological, Political and Juridical research, University SS. Cyril and Methodius, Skopje, Republic of Macedonia, 2018); This text is based on the analysis of the data obtained from the wider research about the student’s participation in Student organization. During May, 2017 the field research among students at University of “Ss Cyril and Methodius” (UKIM) in Skopje was conducted. The total number of respondents was 669. Respondents were students from 1 till 5 year from almost all faculties which constitute UKIM. For the purpose of this research, two scales (Agreeableness and Conscientiousness) from the short version of IPIP NEO, (Five Factorial personality test) and Questionnaire were used. Agreeableness (A) personality dimension is a tendency to be compassionate and cooperative rather than suspicious and antagonistic toward others, and dimension Conscientiousness (C), is a tendency to be self-disciplined, to act dutifully. Both dimensions are relevant in institutionalized forms of participation (as student organization is). Questionnaire contains set of questions which were indicators for student’s participatory behavior. In this research participatory behavior has been defined as involvement and influence that students have in decision- making processes in student organization. The overall findings of this research pointed out that independent variables - personality dimensions (Agreeableness and Consciousness) cannot predict student’s participatory behavior in their student organization. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Student’s Social Justice Motivation and Attitude toward Students’ organization(Institute for Sociological, Political and Juridical Research – University “Ss.Cyril and Methodius” Skopje, 2018); Student organizations exist and should exist to protect the rights and interests of their members. If certain research is correct and say that more than 80% of students in Macedonia are not members of any student organization, then the situation is worrying and of course it is necessary to find suitable ways to change it. Therefore, a research team at the Institute for Sociological, Political and Juridical Research conducted a research on student organization, in particular about the ways in which students work, their attitudes and opinions about student organization, and their motivation to behave in accordance with the concepts of social justice. In the period of May 2017, 669 students from different faculties at the University “Ss.Cyril and Methodius” were examined about their views and opinions for student organization, as well as their moral motivation, or whether they are morally motivated to behave in accordance with the principles of social justice in society. The results show that students do not understand the concept of social justice and are very little aware that with their behavior they contribute to the fight for social justice. This also means that if they are not fully aware about their potential contribution in society they will not be active in the processes of student’s life and their future. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, DISCOURSE OF EMOTIONS IN THE COLUMNS IN THE INTERNET MEDIA IN THE PERIOD BEFORE THE REFERENDUM ON CHANGING THE CONSTITUTIONAL NAME OF REPUBLIC OF MACEDONIA(The Faculty of Law, Goce Delchev University in Shtip, Republic of Macedonia, 2019); On 17 June 2018, the Republic of Macedonia and the Republic of Greece signed the Prespa Agreement that closed the long-standing dispute about the name of the Republic of Macedonia. The government then decided to hold a consultative referendum, and the campaign, although unofficial, has already begun. By September 30th, when the referendum was scheduled in the media, numerous personalities appeared: journalists, professors, writers, civil activists, experts from various fields, as well as holders of political functions in the role of columnists, called by the media to say their opinion and position on the change of the constitutional name of their country. The survey is an attempt to see who people were signed on the texts entitled as columns in the period from the signing of the Prespa Agreement to the day of the referendum vote in electronic versions of newspapers, as well as internet portals /information websites; from which sphere of professional life they come; by which dynamic their texts appear; and with which discourse of emotion they try to influence the opinion of the audience. The analysis showed that readers of internet portals witnessed a large number of expert opinions in the research period, and most of them were with negative emotional charge, so there is a dilemma about the loss of the value of the column and its potential positive benefits in making such important decisions for a nation, such as the change of the state name. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, STIMULATION OF CRITICAL AND CREATIVE THINKING PROCESS THROUGH PSYCHOLOGICAL WORKSHOPS AMONG POSTGRADUATE STUDENTS(Goce Delcev University in Shtip, Republic of Macedonia, 2016); Stimulation of critical and creative thinking process is the most essential aspect of shaping democratic citizens’ identity and ideology, which have influence in establishing citizenship society. But, in the process of satisfying our ego, our tendency to see world only through our wishes and needs, we can often deny ourselves intellectual growth and opportunity. Critical thinking includes a complex combination of skills. Among the main characteristics are the following: rationality, self-awareness, honesty, open-mindless, moral judgment etc. Psychological laboratory at the Institute for sociological, political and juridical research, Skopje, established block of 10 workshops with 6 groups of post-graduated students. Each workshop has different topic: building self-capacity, stimulation of communication skills, emotional management, conflicts, motivation stress management, stimulation of moral judgment competence etc. The workshop process by itself has character of research in action.

Item type:Publication, SHAPING AND MODELING PERSONALITY IN PROCESS OF LONG LASTING TRANSITION-CASE OF THE REPUBLIC OF MACEDONIA(Goce Delcev University, Shtip, Republic of Macedonia, 2016); The years of socio-economic and political transition in the Republic of Macedonia were characterized with: rising ethnic tensions, refugee crisis, transformation of the political system and political ideology, and the introduction of political pluralism. Macedonia faced interethnic tensions which escalated with the war conflict in 2001. There were more or less other problems with neighbors which were related with the identity of Macedonian nation and Macedonian state. During the period of more than 15 years (1999-2015), Psychological laboratory at the Institute for Sociological Political and Juridical Research (ISPJR) -Skopje has implemented several surveys which purpose was to indentify the process of psychological transformation of the citizens under the influence of politically motivated events. Analyses showed that politically motivated factors of stress can influence changes in the psychological processes as: perception, competence for moral judgment, identity, social attitudes, (authoritarianism) and political ideology. And, at the end, changes in the political culture bring new shape of the average personality profile. Findings showed that citizens’ average personality profiles can be shaped as a result of long lasting changes in society. The new generations of individuals become more self oriented and less prepared to participate in collective initiatives. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Работен модел на процесот на рецепција на пораките во печатените медиуми(MI-AN Publishing Centre for Culture and Cultural Studies, 2015-11-10); Kогнитивните процеси на членовите на медиумската публика кои се вклучени во примањето на пораки од медиумите се толку бескрајно сложени што понекогаш се чини дека тие не можат да бидат систематски анализирани. Како резултат на тоа, секој напор да се предложи општ (генерален) модел, кој успешно ќе се справува со дискурсите на публиката, се чини дека е осуден да биде ”опседнат” со многу потешкотии, а недостатоците ќе бидат рамноправни со илуминациите кои од тој модел можат да се појават. Шредер го предложи својот мултидимензионален модел целосно свесен за неминовниот редукционизам и терминолошка неконзистентност вклучени во него. Моделот предлага концептуална рамка за справување со сложените процеси преку кои публиката ги прима, разбира, критикува и одговара на медиумските пораки. Моделот на Шредер, како и моделот, а подоцна и критиката на Хол, истражувањата на Морли и останатите истражувачи во областа на рецепцијата беа поттик за едно вакво истражување на димензиите вклучени во тој можеби краткотраен, но бескрајно сложен процес на примање на медиумските пораки. Резултатите ја нагласија важноста и комплексноста на многу аспекти, процеси, димензии, кои го детерминираат процесот на рецепција; тие ја истакнаа нивната истовремена појавност и меѓу-зависност што пак ја отвори потребата од испитување на нивното заедничко дејствување. И двата, и социолошките и психолошките фактори се важни во процесот на рецепција, но никогаш одвоени од содржината на текстот и начинот на кој содржината е напишана. Се чини како одредени содржини да провоцираат одредени индивидуални карактеристики, и така „обединети" го детерминираат рецепцискиот процес. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Perception of Personal Characteristic and Importance of the Identity of Students in the Republic of Macedonia: Factors and Consequences(MI-AN Publishing, 2016); This paper comes out from more extensive research named “Real and virtual identities” realized by Institute for sociological, political and juridical research during year 2013. Its tendency was to explore how young people see themselves, which attributes they use in process of self definition, as well as to find out what are the factors and outcomes of self definition process. This part of the research is actually in the field of psychology of personality and identity and it is based on the circumflex model of interpersonal behavior. The main hypothesis in this segment of the study assumed that certain socio-demographic factors influenced the identity perception of young people and that it has an impact in several segments of their socio-political life. Research sample size was 707 respondents, male 256 and 451 female students from Skopje, Tetovo and Bitola. When the factors are in focus, the data show that male, with a greater intensity than women perceive themselves as dominant, calculating, cold-blooded and introverted, while women with more intensity than men perceive themselves as cooperative; Albanians, in comparison with the Macedonians, in the description of self stress more: dominance, accountability, coldblooded, introvert, while the Macedonians, stress more: cooperation and sociability; respondents living in the village to a greater extent describe themselves as introverted, less dominant, compared to those living in the city. Those who live in the city, compared with those who live in the village over perceived themselves as social. Speaking about the outcomes, openness to different social events is usually connected positively with dimensions as gregariousness, willingness to cooperate and domination, and negatively to introversion and inferiority. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Film music as an integral part of framing messages in Macedonian films “With torments I was born, before the rain in Macedonian part of the hell”(NGO Academy of Social Sciences, 2019-12); Film kao medij masovne komunikacije ima upečatljiv i jedinstven utjecaj na oblikovanje percepcije publike, istodobno djelujući na dva dominantna osjetila: vid i sluh. Uključivanje glazbe u određene filmske scene stoga ima za cilj pojačati i naglasiti izazvana iskustva (emocionalna, reflektivna i senzitivna). U makedonskim filmovima, gdje kao naracija dominiraju poznata djela makedonske književnosti, makedonske narodne pjesme se najčešće koriste kao filmska glazba. Kao dio makedonske kulture oni su sastavni dio povijesti, ističući težnje makedonskog naroda za nacionalnom neovisnošću. Da bismo odgovorili na glavno istraživačko pitanje: "Naglašava li (uokviruje) makedonska narodna pjesma kao filmska glazba glavnu poruku filma?" analizirali smo uporabu makedonske narodne pjesme “So maki sum se rodil” (“Sa mukama sam se rodio”) u filmovima “Pred doždot” (“Prije kiše") i"Makedonskiot del od pekolot” (“Makedonski dio pakla"). Koristila se metoda kvalitativne analize sadržaja gdje se uzima u obzir jedinica analize: tekst, scena i ponašanje aktera u sekvenci filma u kojoj se pjesma čuje. Analiza sadržaja temeljila se na modelu kognitivne procjene (cognitive appraisal) prema kojem su emocije, praćene mislima i ponašanjem, rezultat utjecaja nadražaja koji je značajan za osobu kao rezultat prethodno pohranjene memorije ili unaprijed stvorenih pojedinačnih obrazaca (okvira) za percepciju događaja. Interakcija između zvučnih podražaja (tekst i glazba pjesme) i vizualnih (scena, glumčevi pokreti i elementi scene) jasno navodi koje će se emocije pokrenuti. Nalazi istraživanja potkrepljuju tezu da makedonske narodne pjesme, nastale kao rezultat višestoljetne borbe makedonskog naroda, „uokvirene“ u makedonskim filmovima, pojačavaju domoljubne emocije i teže jačanju nacionalnog identiteta, što se postiže ponavljanjem i revitalizacijom kolektivnih sjećanja. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, PERSONAL EXPERIENCING OF THE MACEDONIAN EPIC FOLK SONGS(INSTITUTE FOR SOCIOLOGICAL, POLITICAL AND JURIDICAL RESEARCH UNIVERSITY “Ss. CIRYL AND METHODIUS” - SKOPJE, 2016); In the course of the past centuries, the Macedonian folk song embraced all significant moments of the lives of the Macedonian people. These songs pay tribute to the years of servitude, resistance, military feats, whether individual or group, spontaneous or organized. Throughout the conducted research, the question we focused on was whether these Macedonian songs created in the course of the 19th century -period of active struggle for liberation and independence of the Macedonian nation; evoke feelings of patriotism among the young in contemporary time when the Republic of Macedonia has acquired its sovereignty and independence. For the purpose of determining the influence of music on the emotions, and identifying the emotions, thoughts, ideas and behavior ‘touched upon’ and evoked by the Macedonian epic folk song, experimental research was conducted. The experiment was realized in a time period of 2 hours with a group of 18 students that participated on a voluntary basis. The findings from the analysis of the emotions experienced by the respondents in the experiment indicate that the respondents can identify the different emotions, thoughts and ideas embodied in two popular Macedonian epic folk songs. Hence, these epic songs (especially when listened with lyrics) not only evoke negative emotions but cause negative thoughts and ideas as well. In this sense, the main conclusion is that the Macedonian epic folk songs created in 19th century still “‘touch upon” the present generations. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, COMPARING MACEDONIAN AND AUSTRIAN STUDENTS’ PERCEPTION OF IDENTITY ASPECTS AND COLLECTIVE IDENTITY(INSTITUTE FOR SOCIOLOGICAL, POLITICAL AND JURIDICAL RESEARCH UNIVERSITY “Ss. CIRYL AND METHODIUS” - SKOPJE, 2016); This research was focused on the association between aspects of identity orientation and collective identity among students in Macedonia and Austria. The survey in Macedonia was conducted among Macedonian and Albanian state university students, and in Austria, it was conducted among students from the Department of Political Science and Sociology at the University of Salzburg. The same methodological procedure was applied: orientation towards two aspects of identity - Personal aspect of Identity (PI) and Social aspect of Identity (SI), measured with the AIQ (Aspect of Identity Orientation) Scale. The collective identity was run through a grid of one scale (according to Laponce): importance was given to each of 13 social groups, such as: family, friends, gender, age, profession, religion, preferred political party, place of birth, residence, university, ethnicity, class, and citizenship. According to the results on the PI and the SI scales, four groups of respondents were obtained. The first group, termed “Integrated”, was the group with high scores on both scales; the second group, termed, “Ego-oriented”, had high scores on the PI scale and low scores on the SI scale; the third group, “Pre-defined”, presented individuals with low scores on both scales, and the last group, “Over-socialized”, was the group that had high scores on the SI scale and low scores on the PI scale. The main topic of research was the importance that each of these four groups (in a Macedonian and Austrian context) assigned to the collective identity. The comparative study underlined some important issues: family and friends are the first and second most important social groups for the four groups in both samples; in both samples, the “Integrated” group places the highest importance to the collective identity; the collective identity is mostly predominant among the Macedonian students, and, no matter how much personality is integrated, the least important group for the Austrian sample of students is religion, while for the Macedonian sample of students - political party.
