MANOVA analysis for sex differences. The results of the exploratory study inform that in sagittal movement there were no significant differences in line length performance at any of experimental condition. In T and F movement types, the sex differences reached statistically significant level for both hands in PV condition. The unique sexdepended difference in P sensory condition was observed in ND hand and F movement type.

Proprioceptive indicators of stress resistance L. Liutsko, Y.V. Malova, S.E. Poddubnij, N.I. Rozhkova, J.G. Maldonado The aim of our study was to check the hypothesis of existence of stress resistance proprioceptive profile of adult general population. Participants (adults, onco-patients were part of the general population group) performed the Proprioceptive Diagnostics of Temperament and Character (DP-TC by Tous) and verbal test of stress resistance (adapted in Russian by Sugoniaev as a combination of Maddi’s Hardiness Survey and Janoff-Bulman’s World assumptions scale). The preliminary analysis, described the tendencies in individual and personality differences measured by the proprioceptive test as correlations between both tests, showed that there weak and moderate significant correlations between indicators of both tests. These findings confirm the hypothesis of existing of personality and individual differences proprioceptive profiles related to stress resistance. The results of this study can contribute to a therapeutic work with patients.

Emotional intelligence and religiosity: Complex connections and possible explanation P. Łowicki, M. Zajenkowski So far there have been only few attempts to explore the relationship between emotional intelligence and religiosity. Present study addressed the issue more systematically taking into consideration various aspects of religious belief, and emotional intelligence (understood both as a trait and an ability). The results of the investigation conducted among Polish adult Christians indicated that higher self-reported EI (TEIQue-SF) was connected with higher level of general religiosity. Regression analysis revealed though a mediating role of extrinsic religious orientation (ROS) in the relation between perceived emotional intelligence and religiosity. Moreover, performance-based EI (TIE) was found to be negatively correlated with extrinsic orientation. This result suggests that religious individuals with extrinsic orientation not only see themselves as less emotionally skilled, but they also do lack some emotional competence. Similarly, we found out that using negative religious coping style (Brief RCOPE) predicted lower trait and ability emotional intelligence alike. It seems therefore that high emotional intelligence might be a factor protecting against maladaptive religiosity. Possible explanation and further implications of these findings are discussed.

How To Tame Your BAS: Music absorption as a mediator of reward sensitivity and music involvement N. Loxton High reward sensitivity is typically associated with negative outcomes such as addiction. However, this trait is also linked with quite functional outcomes including life satisfaction. The present study seeks to use the revised Reinforcement Sensitivity Theory (rRST) to test the relationship between reward sensitivity (rBAS) and music involvement, and the tendency to be absorbed by, and to experience a positive emotional response to music. Three hundred and seventy eight participants completed questionnaires assessing rBAS, involvement with music, absorption in music and affective response. Consistent with rRST, those high in reward sensitivity were more likely to be involved in music and have stronger positive responses to music. Bootstrapped tests of indirect effects found the relationship between r-BAS and music involvement to be mediated by absorption in music. This study further supports the argument that high levels of reward sensitivity may be involved in both functional and dysfunctional behaviours. Music may be a useful approach to assist in the directing of behaviour in highly reward sensitive individuals.

Impulsivity facets as predictors of mindfulness in an acceptancebased alcohol treatment program N. Loxton, Y. Gribble Given the high rates of relapse following traditional programs, acceptance-based therapies are gaining popularity in the treatment of chronic alcohol dependence with an increasing focus on mechanisms of change and the identification of patients who respond well to such interventions. This study assessed impulsivity facets as predictors of mindfulness at the beginning of treatment and change over the course of a short-term intervention. Fifty-two substance-dependent in-patients completed self-report measures of reward drive, rash impulsivity, and mindfulness. Using multilevel modelling, higher reward drive and lower rash impulsivity was found to be associated with higher mindfulness at baseline. Rash impulsivity, but not reward drive, was associated with greater improvement in mindfulness over the course of treatment. These findings support the utility of acceptance-based treatment approaches in improvement in mindfulness, with the greatest change occurring in patients characterised by heightened rash impulsivity.

Individual Differences as Initial Activations: Priming Justice Promotes and Prevents Forgiveness of Others T. Lucas, P. Strelan, J. Karremans, R. Sutton Recent research shows that in temporary activation of justice cognitions can enhance forgiveness of others. However, individual difference perspectives highlight that justice is multifaceted, and the extent to which priming effects depend on activating specific justice cognitions is not well known. Two studies were conducted to test the hypothesis that thinking about justice can both enhance and impede forgiveness, and that these effects depend
