Purpose. The aim of this study was to analyse Spanish women basketball players' perception of their coaches in order to discover whether this perception is different from those in other sports and which character traits are the most appreciated in the sport of basketball. Methods. We administered a questionnaire survey in December 2010 to a total of 65 Spanish national division basketball players, where they were asked to evaluate their coaches with a set of 10 adjectives, rating them on a Likert seven-point scale with 1 being the least favourable and 7 the most favourable. Results. The results find that the players have a generally positive opinion of their coaches' personal qualities, although there were some small differences in the evaluation of what might be called "professional" qualities, which were not as high. Traits such as honesty (6.01), friendliness (5.97) or self-confidence (5.43) had higher values than imagination (4.3), dynamism (4.9), intelligence (5.1) and other attributes which could relate more to technical aspects or methods of training. With regard to the totality of the scale, the mean was found to be 5.22, with the maximum value being 6.01 for honesty and the lowest for imagination at 4.3. None of the analysed adjectives received a negative rating by the players. Conclusions. This study finds that women basketball players have an overall good perception of their coaches, as based on the analysed sample. These results are very similar to previous findings in other sports. In addition, they rate "personal" features with a higher score than traits that could be considered "professional" and, therefore, be an opinion of job performance.

Recent epidemiologic data have demonstrated a significant increase in eating disorder morbidity among adolescent girls. The goal of the current research was to evaluate attitudes and behaviour directly relevant to eating disorders. Participants were a sample of 611 second form schoolgirls of junior secondary schools in Lodz. A Polish version of the Eating Disorder Inventory (EDI) was performed. The results of the current study were compared with the findings of the Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Clinic researchers from the Institute of Psychiatry and Neurology in Warsaw and with the mean scores of female patients with anorexia nervosa (AN). The difference between the nonclinical sample of female adolescents and female patients with AN was significant in every dimension of EDI. The mean EDI score on the “Drive for Thinness” scale for 17% of the study group was equal to or higher than that for AN patients. The mean EDI scores in the “Drive for Thinness”, “Bulimia” and “Interoceptive Awareness” were not significantly different in the samples from Lodz and Warsaw. The findings of the current research and incidence of AN in adolescent females suggest advisability of regular screening of female adolescents for risk factors in behaviour and attitudes. Furthermore, intervention programs are recommended for exposed adolescent females especially at reversible stages of AN disorder, when self-esteem and sexual identity are formed.

W związku z niepokojącymi danymi dotyczącymi stale rosnącej liczby zachorowań na zaburzenia odżywiania w 2003 roku został wprowadzony program oceny nasilenia zachowań i postaw związanych z zaburzeniami jedzenia wśród adolescentek – uczennic drugich klas szkół gimnazjalnych w Łodzi. Programem została objęta grupa łącznie 611 dziewcząt. Autorzy artykułu prezentują, omawiają i oszacowują skalę zjawiska oraz dokonują porównania uzyskanych wyników z danymi z Kliniki Psychiatrii Dzieci i Młodzieży IPIN w Warszawie oraz z badaniami własnymi dr Anny Dunajskiej z tutejszej Kliniki. Grupa uczennic gimnazjów różniła się istotnie od pacjentek z jadłowstrętem psychicznym w zakresie wszystkich analizowanych skal. W badanej grupie aż 17% dziewcząt miało wyniki równe bądź wyższe od średniej uzyskanej przez chore z jadłowstrętem psychicznym w skali „Dążenie do szczupłości”. Nie zaobserwowano istotnych różnic między uczennicami szkół łódzkich i warszawskich w zakresie skal: „Dążenie do szczupłości”, „Bulimia”, „Świadomość bodźców interoceptywnych”. W związku z dużym rozpowszechnieniem zachowań i postaw związanych z zaburzeniami jedzenia, co potwierdzają wyniki skali DdS omawianego w pracy badania, można zalecać wykonywanie regularnych badań przesiewowych oraz prowadzenie działań edukacyjnych w młodszych grupach wiekowych – kiedy kształtuje się poczucie własnej wartości i tożsamości związanej z płcią.
