Repozitorijum psiholoških instrumenata na srpskom jeziku – REPOPSI omogućava svima da slobodno koriste i dele otvorene psihološke skale, testove i druge istraživačke instrumente prevedene na srpski ili razvijene od strane naučnika iz Srbije.

Instrumente u REPOPSI-ju možete da koristite u nekomercijalne kliničke, istraživačke i edukativne svrhe, bez potrebe da tražite dozvolu, a pod uslovom da citirate autore instrumenta i prevoda.

Ako želite da saznate više o tome kako da koristite REPOPSI, sve informacije možete da nađete na: https://www.repopsi.f.bg.ac.rs/en/

Ako želite da postavite svoj instrument ili prevod/adaptaciju instrumenta u REPOPSI, možete da popunite ovaj onlajn obrazac za doprinošenje: https://www.repopsi.f.bg.ac.rs/en/how-to-contribute-to-repopsi/

REPOPSI je osnovala LIRA 2020. godine.

The LIRA Lab Roma Faces Database was developed within the Laboratory for Research of Individual Differences at the University of Belgrade. This database contains photographs of Roma individuals intended for use in scientific research.

It is the only database of its kind in the world, featuring 60 individuals (30 men and 30 women) aged 18-65, photographed with neutral, happy, sad, and angry facial expressions. The prototypicality and attractiveness of the individuals in the photos have been evaluated by independent raters.

Roma are the largest ethnic minority in European countries (Rosenfield, 2010) and simultaneously the most discriminated against (EU Minorities and Discrimination Survey, 2016). In addition to standard self-assessment measures, researchers can develop indirect measures of stereotypes and prejudices against Roma. This database aims to provide visual stimuli for such research.

Applications

xSample is a free application designed for conducting research using the experience sampling methodology (ESM), which enables real-time tracking of participants’ behavior, thoughts, and emotions. It is available for both Android and Apple devices, user-friendly, and does not require any coding skills. The application is intended exclusively for non-commercial research purposes.
If you wish to use xSample in your research, please contact us.

Totalassessment is an online testing platform that provides a wide range of pre-implemented psychological instruments and the flexibility to create new ones. Participants can access the platform from anywhere, requiring only an internet connection. Currently, Totalassessment supports a variety of tests focusing on general intelligence, specific abilities, memory, executive function, emotional intelligence, personality inventories, implicit attitude measures etc. The platform allows for easy and quick creation of various question types and instruments, including rating scales, multiple-choice questions, image-based stimuli, passive stimulus exposure without requiring participant interaction etc. and reaction time recording. Response time is automatically recorded for each question. Furthermore, if-then conditional question logic can be implemented within the same instrument. For more details, visit the official platform page: http://www.totalassessment.net/ If you would like to use Totalassessment in your research, please contact us.

Equipment

BIOPAC system system consists of various hardware devices and software programs used in life sciences for recording, collecting, and analyzing different physiological data and measurements. LIRA Lab possesses multiple BIOPAC devices and modules for recording psychophysiological measures such as skin conductance levels and response, electrical activity of the heart in humans and animals, cardiac electrical conduction (heart rate), continuous blood pressure monitoring (systolic, diastolic, and mean arterial pressure), heart rate (pulse), and electrical activity of muscles. The lab also has devices for stimulation, as well as equipment for recording and measuring voltage or current waves, which can be used to assess sensitivity thresholds (e.g., detection threshold, pain threshold, pain tolerance threshold).

You can find a complete list of devices available to LIRA Lab researchers here.

The EAR (Electronically Activated Recorder) application allows researchers to create audio recordings, capturing ambient sounds that can be used to analyze participants’ daily activities.

EAR is primarily a technique designed for studying social behavior through naturalistic observation and can be applied across a wide range of research projects.

In addition to the OCULUS VR hardware device (headset) for simulating virtual reality, LIRA Lab has a computer for conducting experiments using virtual reality equipment with the UBUNTU operating system, a tripod stand, and two Logitech cameras for stereoscopic recording.

Vienna Test System is a digital system for psychological testing. It consists of various hardware components, such as pedals, a response panel, and a peripheral perception device, along with a software solution that includes the Schuhfried test battery. This system enables the assessment of various abilities, including sensory and psychomotor skills, as well as other psychological traits.
