Relationship Between Positive Orientation and Experienced Emotions (Internal Acts of Valuation) Among Pedagogy Students
Szorc, Katarzyna; Kunat, Beata (Wyższe Seminaria Duchowne Towarzystwa Salezjańskiego, 2025)
Since the trend of positive psychology has gained importance in both scientific research and everyday life, increasing attention has been given to identifying the predictors of a happy life and how these can be strengthened. One key concept that has emerged here is that of positive orientation, which assumes that an individual can cope with life’s adversities and perceive their life as valuable and meaningful. The aim of the presented research was to search for the relationship between positive orientation and emotional experiences among pedagogy students. It was hypothesised that students with a high level of positive orientation would more often experience emotions associated with self-enhancement, maintaining interpersonal contact and union, focusing on positive experiences and, at the same time, less frequently focus on negative ones. The research employed a correlational research model. Two standardized psychological tools were used: the Hermans’ 24-Emotions Scale and the P Scale by Caprara et al., in its Polish adaptation by Łaguna, Oleś, Filipiuk. A total of 114 pedagogy students from various specialisations participated in the study, aged between 19 and 34 (with 8 respondents aged 35 or older). The average age of the respondents was 21.39 years. The survey was conducted online, and participants were selected both purposefully and randomly – the surveys were addressed to pedagogy students at a selected university. Analysis of the collected empirical data revealed a statistically significant positive correlation between the level of the surveyed pedagogy students’ positive orientation and their experienced emotions. The identified correlations were found to be statistically significant. These research findings may support strengthening skills that lead to effective human functioning – an especially important factor from the perspective of pedagogy students preparing to work with individuals in different stages of development.
