Abstract: Intimate partner violence (IPV) is frequently regarded as a private issue, with witnesses often responding accordingly. As a result, a lot of violence remains unreported, either by the victim or observers. Statistical analyses were conducted on data from an online survey of 600 respondents aged 18–65 in Slovenia. This research aimed to examine the influence of demographic factors and attitudes toward IPV on willingness to intervene or report IPV to the police. A theoretical model of intervention in IPV cases was developed and tested using structural equation modeling. The role of attitudes towards IPV as mediators between demographic variables and willingness to intervene in cases of IPV was investigated by comparing the difference in model fit between models that presumed partial and full mediation. The results supported a full mediating role of attitudes towards IPV. A full mediation model fitted the data well (SB χ2 = 765.8; df = 320; p < 0.001; SB χ2/df = 2.4; RMSEA = 0.048 (90% CI: 0.044–0.053); NFI = 0.93; NNFI = 0.95; CFI = 0.96; IFI = 0.96; SRMR = 0.08). With increasing age, and for men, the tolerance of psychological IPV increases. Men and those with lower education are more tolerant of physical IPV. Individuals with higher tolerance for physical or psychological IPV were less likely to intervene or contact the police, and more likely to remain passive. Perceptions of police effectiveness were not related to willingness to intervene. The findings emphasize the pivotal role of attitudes towards IPV, underscoring the importance of raising awareness of the phenomenon and encouraging individuals to “break the silence” by reporting it to the police.

Abstract: Background: Organisations in the contemporary workplace lack meaningful work and life, resulting in psychological and physical pain for workers. Employees seek organisations that align their daily work activities with society. Partially limited research exists on the relationship between corporate social responsibility (CSR) and employee work-related attitudes, especially with the mediating mechanism of employee work meaningfulness (EWM) and organisation identification (OID) in developing country contexts such as Pakistan. This study has used Social Learning Theory (SLT) and Social Identification Theory (SIT). Methods: Data were collected through a sample of 154 employees in two waves from multiple sectors in Karachi, Pakistan, using non-probability, purposive sampling. The PLS-SEM, along with IBM-SPSS, was run for data analysis. Results: The results demonstrated that Corporate social responsibility (CSR) has a significant positive relationship with employee work-related attitudes. CSR affects organisational citizenship behaviour (OCB) and pro-environmental behaviours (PEB) through the mediation mechanism of employee work meaningfulness (EWM) and organisational identification (OID). Conclusion: This study contributes to the nascent literature by establishing that EWM and OID mediate the effect of CSR on OCB and PEB. Furthermore, this study utilizes two primary theoretical lenses and provides a novel contribution to the current literature. Finally, this study provides valuable insights to policymakers, businesses, and society.

Abstract: Museums are certainly a potential source of excellent mentors for students at all levels of education. It is realistic to expect that a model of personalized learning with a complex system of mentoring, would yield positive results. The article deals with the attitudes of teachers, museum educators and curators on forms of mentoring in the process of personalizing education at the primary level in Croatian schools. Qualitative methodology (semistructured interviews) was used in the research. The results of the study indicate positive attitudes of teachers and museum educators/curators towards joint mentoring through networks across educational and cultural community institutions.
Keywords: personalization of education, joint museum-school mentoring of students, attitudes of teachers and museum experts

Abstract: Understanding public attitudes toward artificial intelligence (AI) is crucial for shaping the responsible development and deployment of AI technologies, aligning them with public expectations, and addressing societal concerns and ethical considerations. The goal of this research was to gain a comprehensive understanding of how the public in general as well as customers in exchange process perceive AI and the factors that influence these perceptions. Our research problem based around researching the complex relationships between various aspects of AI, suchas perceived threats, societal benefits, trust in AI institutions, and overall attitudes toward AI. We laid the groundwork in the theoretical part by researching existing knowledge about theoretical foundations of attitudes, about AI, and the attitudes ofpublic towards AI. This theoretical background provided essential context for our research into public attitudes toward AI. In the empirical part, we conducted a detailed survey based on stratified sample of adult population of the Republic of Slovenia (n= 205-209) to gather data on how the public feels about AI. This involved asking participants about their views on AI as a potential threat, its societal benefits, the level of trust they have in institutions and companies responsible for AI, and their overall attitudes toward AI. In our study, we found that individuals who perceive AI as a potential threat to their jobs or privacy tend to hold more negative attitudes toward AI. Interestingly, our research revealed that whether people think AI is beneficial for society or poses risks does not have a strong impact on their overall views about AI. Equally surprising, our results suggest that trust in institutions and companies involved in AI development does not appear to be a major factor in shaping public attitudes toward AI. These findings offer a detailed perspective on how the public views AI. They carry significant implications for policymakers, businesses, and AI developers, highlighting the importance of responsible AI development. It is crucial to address personal concerns and work on building trust and confidence in AI technologies among the public.

Abstract: The study aims to determine elementary and middle school students' school attitudes. A school attitudes measurement tool was used in the study. The participants of the study comprised 410 students. The results of the current study show that willing participation in school activities affects school attitudes. The results also show that with increasing grade level, the rate of willing participation drops. It was also found that there is a significant correlation with participation in extracurricular activities. The school attitudes mean score of students willingly participating in extracurricular activities is significantly higher than that of students participating involuntarily.
