The article describes the relational-interdependent self-construal scale, as well as its psychometric characteristics and psychological correlates. It is the measure, which has been adapted to Polish conditions. The relational-interdependent self-construal scale measures individual differences in the tendency to include close others in the self. The measure was first introduced by Cross, Bacon & Morris (2000). The items were created on the basis of the definition of relationalinterdependent self-construal and earlier studies. 1579 people participated in the studies aimed at conducting exploratory factor analysis and reliability analysis. Results indicate that the relational-interdependent self-construal scale consists of 9 items that form one factor. The measure is reliable and valid. There are gender differences in relational self-construal – women obtain higher scores. The relational- interdependent self-construal scale is positively associated with empathy (especially empathic concern and perspective taking), agreeableness (and to some extent with extraversion), communal values (those important for interpersonal relations, mostly with security, universalism, conformity and benevolence), and with satisfaction with romantic relationship. Relational-interdependent self-construal is not significantly associated with global self-esteem.

The aim of this study was threefold: (a) to examine sex differences in sensation seeking and spatial abilities in a sample of athlete students, (b) to explore whether measures of sensation seeking and spatial ability can be used to distinguish between athletes engaging in sports of different levels of risk, and (c) to explore the relationship between sensation seeking and spatial abilities in a sample of athlete students. A total of 201 students athletes engaged in sports of different levels of risk completed the Spatial relations test, Mental rotation test, and Zuckerman's Sensation Seeking Scale-V. Men scored higher than women in both measures of spatial abilities and on DIS, while women scored higher than men on ES. High-risk group had higher SSS and TAS scores than low- and medium- risk groups, and low-risk group had lower DIS scores than medium- and high-risk group, but there were no differences in spatial ability among athletes engaged in sports of different levels of risk. Spatial ability correlated with sensation seeking measures in men only. The results are discussed in terms of possible common biological background of these two sex-dimorphic traits.

Wprowadzenie: Sposób chodu kobiet i mężczyzn jest od dawna postrzegany jako różny, jednak stosunkowo niedługo istnieje możliwość wykonania dokładnych pomiarów dających precyzyjne informacje na temat tych różnic. Stworzenie oddzielnych przedziałów norm chodu dla kobiet i mężczyzn mogłoby pomóc w diagnostyce, profilaktyce i terapii zaburzeń lokomocji. Cel: Praca przedstawia przegląd dostępnej literatury na temat chodu zdrowych dorosłych kobiet i mężczyzn, w celu wykazania czy istnieją naukowe podstawy do stworzenia oddzielnych przedziałów wartości norm dla chodu w zależności od płci. Metody: Przeszukano elektroniczne bazy danych PubMed, Web of Science i Science Direct stosując hasła ‚gait’, ‚sex’, ‚gender’, ‚men’, ‚women’, ‚male’, ‚female’. Kryteria włączenia obejmowały: artykuł był dostępny w języku angielskim, artykuł zawierał informacje dotyczące osób zdrowych, w badaniu analizowano biomechanikę chodu, w badaniu porównywano wartości dla obu płci, badanie obejmowało osoby dorosłe. Jeżeli w piśmiennictwie wyszukanych prac pojawiały się artykuły spełniające kryteria włączenia były one dołączane do przeglądu. Wyniki: Kryteria włączenia spełniało 12 prac. Po przejrzeniu abstraktów, a następnie pełnych tekstów pozostawiono 8 prac, 4 wyłączono ze względu na nie stosowanie powszechnych parametrów biomechanicznych lub badanie biomechaniki chodu do celów innych niż temat przeglądu (badanie ortez). Wnioski: Istnieją różnice w parametrach kinematycznych kobiet i mężczyzn podczas chodu dla miednicy i stawu biodrowego w płaszczyźnie czołowej i prawdopodobnie w płaszczyźnie strzałkowej dla stawu skokowego. Zalecane jest stworzenie oddzielnych przedziałów norm dla kobiet i mężczyzn.

Introduction: Men and women are claimed to walk differently- with modern techniques we are able to quantify gait parameters and establish whether those perceived dissimilarities are supported by precise measurements. Creating separate normative values for men and women may help in gait disturbances diagnosis, prevention and therapy. Objectives: We review available studies on normal locomotion in adult men and women, to clarify if there is scientific evidence to create separate normative values of normal gait according to gender. Methods: Potentially relevant articles were identified with an electronic search of PubMed, Web of Science and Science Direct. Combination of keywords ‘gait’, ‘sex’, ‘gender’, ‘men’, ‘women’, ‘male’, ‘female’ were used. Articles were included if they met following criteria: article was written in English, the article contained information about non-pathological subjects, the study analyzed biomechanics of walking, the article compared metrics of both sexes, the study included data for adults. If additional papers were identified from cited references and met the inclusion criteria they were incorporated into the catalog of references. Results: The inclusion criteria was met by 12 articles. After reviewing abstracts and full-text articles 8 were included and 4 were excluded due to not applying common gait biomechanics parameters or studying gait biomechanics for purposes not connected to the review’s topic. Conclusions: There are differences between males’ and females’ gait kinematic values for coronal plane pelvis and hip movement and possibly in sagittal plane ankle movement. Creating separate normative values is recommended.
