PRÍPAD SVÄTÁ HELENA A OCHRANA MALOLETÝCH V MÉDIÁCH

Author(s): Miloš Mistrík / Language(s): Slovak Issue: 01/2016

Television and radio programs can endanger the healthy development of minor percipients. Therefore, several tools have been developed to prevent this. They are legislative, psychological and educative tools. However, according to an original research, the claim about the protection of minors is not quite true. On the island of Saint Helena in the south of the Atlantic television was not introduced until the 1990s. Prior to and after the introduction, an English research team did an in-depth research into the behaviour of minors on the island. This showed that watching television had not had a negative impact on them. However, this research is in contrast with the finding that there is an unacceptable practice of sexual harassment and abuse of young girls and women on the island. This study compares these two facts and raises a question whether youth-threatening television programs can endanger youth who already display an unsuitable or criminal behaviour, or whether the introduction of television cannot have an opposite effect and positively influence youth by bringing in advanced civilization values and models.

Author(s): Ilonka Kovacheva / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 1/2016

Mental health is defined as a state of being in which individuals are aware of their skills, are able to cope with normal stress in life, their labor isproductive and they contribute to the welfare of the community. Dependencies between personal status - age, sex, marital status, number of children, income level and their job satisfaction, life satisfaction, subjective happiness and well-being are explored. The results showed that gender has extremely weak influence on job satisfaction. No dependence has been detected between the marital status and the explored parameters of the respondents. A connection between the satisfaction index and the number of children in the family was discovered. The highest values of positive relationships, life goals, sense of independence and job satisfaction belong to people with three children; those with two children have lower values and persons with one child or no children have the lowest and very similar values. It was found that the degree of job satisfaction does not affect mental well-being. Respondents generally appreciate life in a positive light and have a high result on the scale of mental well-being. A conclusion is made that the cognitive component of life satisfaction and the affective component happiness and subjective well-being are determined by different conditions.

Процесът на деинституционализация на домовете за деца

Author(s): Ivan S. Stoyanov / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 1/2014

It is considered that the child care reform in Bulgaria has started in 1991, when the country ratified the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. In reality however this reform has actually started about ten years later, following a rather critical report of the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child (CRC). The purpose of the reform may be defined as a change of the stereotyped approach towards identification of the need of children at risk and the collectively organized method of work for individualization and placing the best interest of every child in the core of the social intervention. Considering the current tendencies in Europe, in Bulgaria the alternative services for children in risk may also be differentiated into two main groups: services in support of the family and services that substitute the family.

Третичният мисловен процес на кръстопътя между метапсихологията, когнитивната наука и невронауката

Author(s): Petar Radoev Dimkov / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 2/2016

The strict differentiation between the abstract-verbal-logical thought (the Freudian secondary thought process) and the primitive, fantastic thought (primary thought process) is conditional and the border between the two is not clear-cut. This fact allows one to postulate the existence of a third thought process, which would fill the empty space. The third process, essentially, can be defined as concrete, imaginative representation of abstract notions, which is subjected to modifications of volition or as a regress in the name of the ego. Due to this position, the question about the third process touches upon some ancient philosophical questions, e. g. the origin of notions, in particular, the so-called conceptual empiricism, and the transcendental schematism of Kant. Also involved are the contemporary psychological research on representations as concrete and nonetheless generalizing image as well as fantastic imagination and reproductive imagination. The third process reveals itself as invaluable means to creative thought, which, in comparison with the secondary process, is elastic and plastic, and exactly due to this fact it can be subjected to modification (constructivism). Subjectivism and constructivism allow one to view this thought process from a philosophico-practical point of view.

Real-Life Frustration from Virtual Worlds: The Motivational Potential of Frustration

Author(s): Magdaléna Balážiková / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2019

The presented paper offers a short general introduction to frustration followed by a discourse on frustration as an integral part of gaming experience with the core distinction between positive in-game frustration and negative at-game frustration. The potential of frustration to increase motivation to play, emotional engagement and immersion is outlined. The paper includes comprehensive research using the means of a questionnaire (n=159) and content analysis (n=327) identifying types of frustrating situations ingames, perceived sources of frustration, the behavioural impact of frustration and the relationship between locus of control and ascribed source of frustration. Results showed toxic behaviour as a leading cause of frustration. The most common declared behavioural output of frustration caused by the toxic behaviour of other players was quitting a game for a certain amount of time. Frustration showed the most motivational potential within the category of frustrating situations related to gamers e.g. being stuck in a part of the game, losing, not succeeding, etc. At-game frustration concerns mainly the category called the “game itself”. Most often the game was blamed for insufficiencies in game mechanics or game design, malfunctioning and technical issues within the game. The presented research did not show a statistically significant association between the source of frustration and a participant’s locus of control. The paper has potential in terms of game design and research of emotion, motivation or immersion.

Macedonian Affective Rhizome: Fear and Shame in the Case of the Macedonian “Name Issue”

Author(s): Ana Blazheva / Language(s): English Issue: 1-2/2019

The text examines two core emotions - fear and shame - and how they shape the affective and social dynamic in relation to the Macedonian “name issue.” Both fear and shame are analyzed through phenomenological approach and in relation to other affects and as core affects that also enable social polarization. Polarization is explained through two Gestalt concepts: polarities and fixed gestalts that serve to analyze the phenomenon that results in exclusionary and divisionary types of thinking and behavior into two blocs - “us” vs “them.” The intersubjectivity is taken to be one of the core conditions of the social field that shape its dynamic as a crucial argument towards the need for overcoming polarized and dichotomized logic of understanding social and political polarization. The analysis shows that fear and shame create a rhizomatic pattern that connects different affects binding together and creating complex structures of behavioral responses and intersubjective space. Enacted through discourse, those affects shape the Macedonian social body as wounded by fear, anxiety, shame, hate, anger and trauma, all of which constitute experience of parlous precarity. Those experiences could not be reduced to binary positions, but they create multiplicity.

The Moral Education Of Children And Youth From A Pedagogical Retrospective

Author(s): Marianna Marusynets,Zoriana Vakolia,Inna Romanivna Perepeliuk / Language(s): English Issue: 12/2019

Contemporary educational science is actively seeking ways in which it is possible for the growing personality to consciously absorb basic principles of high morale where national and universal human values would be equally combined. The latter serve as guidelines determining the subject of interaction between educators and pupils. In this respect, cooperative pedagogy with its methodology comes into the picture. It involves mutual respect, equality, sociability – all the attributes of the subject-to-subject interaction oriented towards the maximum activity of educators as well as pupils.It brings about a change in the traditional approach to essence, methods and forms used in the educational process. Its ultimate goal has to consist not only in pupils` understanding of a profound meaning hidden in moral values – it is more about moral act commitment through actions, words and feelings. Only such an educational strategy leads to the result when pupils embrace social and natural environment and become true patriots of their country.

An Analysis of the Movie “Hachiko: A Dog’s Story” in Terms of Empathy and Solidarity with Animals

Author(s): Nur Okutan / Language(s): English Issue: 4/2023

The aim of this study was to analyze the movie "Hachiko: A Dog's Story" in terms of empathy and solidarity with animals. For this purpose, the scenes in the movie were interpreted on the basis of empathic reactions towards animals (cognitive and affective; self/other-oriented) and solidarity with animals (emotions and behaviors such as attachment, belonging, intimacy, and cooperation). The movie is about the attachment between a dog and a human, and it encourages the viewers to understand this attachment. In order for this to happen, audiences should be able to empathize with the protagonist of the movie, Hachi. Through the analysis of the movie, it becomes clear that empathy with animals is depicted in scenes where efforts are made to understand the protagonist's fear, joy, or expectations (self/other-oriented cognitive empathic responses) as well as in scenes where the desire to do something for the protagonist is shown (other-oriented emotional empathic responses). Solidarity with animals is depicted in scenes that include emotions and behaviors such as sharing (time, happiness, sorrow, “bread”), support (helping, assuming care, etc.), and intimacy (desire to be together). Additionally, the movie directs viewers towards a dog's emotions such as joy, loyalty, sorrow, separation, and longing in many scenes.

The Biological Unconscious, Memory and Identity in Charles Fernyhough’s A Box of Birds

Author(s): Maria Margaroni / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2023

This essay proposes to critically engage with dominant materialist and narrative models of human identity, addressing the old, ‘tired’ question of subjectivity from a twenty-first century perspective. Drawing on contemporary neuroscientific theory and Lacanian psychoanalysis, I aim to read Charles Fernyhough’s A Box of Birds (2012) as a creative reflection on the nature of memory, consciousness and the unconscious. As I shall demonstrate, what lies at the heart of Fernyhough’s reflection is the Platonic allegory of the mind as an aviary. Taken up and re-interpreted by different characters in the novel, this allegory permits Fernyhough to experiment with contemporary discourses of neuro-subjectivity, tracing a richer, more dynamic relation among mind, brain and body.

Vliv tempa a frázování čteného textu na porozumění

Author(s): Jana Vlčková-Mejvaldová / Language(s): Czech Issue: 2/2023

The study investigates whether and to what extent speaking rate and phrasing affect the comprehension of a read text. Three groups of listeners were presented with three different versions ofa naturally read text. The versions were acquired naturally, i.e., without speech signal modification,in three ways: using normal speech rate and phrasing corresponding to the logical and syntactic structure of the text, using high speech rate with preserved logical phrasing, and, finally, using natural speech rate with distorted phrasing. The three recordings were presented to three comparable groups of respondents respectively. Their task was to determine whether the statements related to the text were true. It turned out that an increase in speech rate affected comprehension minimally, while chaotic phrasing caused a decrease in comprehension of up to 33%.

Author(s): Tasmia Khan,Heela Azizi,Mursal Naisan,Tiffany Benjamin,Payton Colantonio,Cassandra D’Andrea,Tulin Ahmad,Gulshan Begum,Shahzad Chidai,Olaniyi Olayinka,Samuel Adeyemo,Chiedozie Ojimba,Ayodele Jolayemi / Language(s): English Issue: 6/2020

DID is defined in the fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) as a “disruption of identity characterized by the presence of two or more distinct personality states.” This involves discontinuity in sense of self and agency as well as variations in “affect, behavior, consciousness, memory, perception, cognition, or sensory-motor functioning.” The DSM-5 estimates the 12-month prevalence of DID as 1.5% of the American adult population. In other studies of DID, the prevalence is estimated to be between 1% and 3%, with higher rates among patients with other comorbid psychiatric conditions. In the inpatient setting, the prevalence of DID has been estimated to be as high as 7.5%. The severity of DID in terms of distinct identity varies from two reported identities to 23 reported distinct identities, however the average number of reported distinct identities stated is 13.1 DID has been associated with or may co-occur with other psychiatric conditions. Many studies have shown an association between DID and history of childhood trauma or maltreatment between ages 4-8. About 80- 100% of patients diagnosed with DID have a comorbid diagnosis of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or a lifetime history of PTSD.
