Internalized stigma and cognitive fusion in the context of self-liking and self-competence among persons with anxiety disorders: A network analysis
Disconnected and ashamed: Early maladaptive schemas, self-stigma and resilience among the asexual population from Poland
Asexual individuals are exposed to stigmatization and social exclusion, often resulting in self-stigma. Negative beliefs about oneself and the world can develop due to negative experiences throughout life, affecting one’s functioning through early maladaptive schemas (EMS), reportedly elevated among sexual minorities. These factors may result in depression, anxiety, or diminished satisfaction with life (SWL). Previous research shows that resilien…

Hugging for the Good of Humanity. People Joining the Free Hugs Campaign at Fandom Conventions Have Lighter, less Dark, and More Prosocial Personalities
The Free Hugs campaign and the phenomenon of people offering "Free Hugs" is becoming increasingly popular today, especially at concerts, festivals, and fandom conventions. However, such offers may cause some people to worry about the huggers' motivations. The study aimed to investigate the level of the Dark and Light Triad and Big Five personality traits in huggers and non-huggers. People (n = 299) engaged in fandom convention culture (132 men, 1…

Support needed from inside and out: Social support and self-compassion as negative determinants of psychiatric symptoms among Polish gays, lesbians, and bisexuals experiencing minority stress
It is all about discomfort avoidance: Maladaptive daydreaming, frustration intolerance, and coping strategies – a network analysis
Maladaptive daydreaming (MD) is a need to daydream that replaces human interactions and disturbs everyday life. Research suggests that MD can be considered a stress-relief strategy, as a repeating sequence of using imagination may play a significant role in calming oneself down and seeking comfort through escapism and avoidance. The current study explored the relationships between maladaptive daydreaming, coping styles, and frustration intoleranc…
The everchanging maladaptive daydreaming – a thematic analysis of lived experiences of Reddit users
Maladaptive daydreaming (MD) is a compulsive fantasy activity that takes precedence over one’s life, interfering with other activities often, becoming source of shame. To determine the lived experiences of people suffering from MD, we analyzed a sample of 336 public Reddit posts shared in September 2023. We implemented thematic analysis using an inductive approach. We identified six key themes across the data connected to the impact MD has on a s…
Cultural Trauma of World War II: The Case of the Upper Silesian Village of Bojszowy
This article analyzes the trauma of war present in the collective memory of the inhabitants of the village of Bojszowy. It may transform into a cultural trauma that significantly determines the community’s identity. Combining four strands of literature—memory studies, nationalist studies, historical studies, and psychological studies—the authors argue that in the community under study, the trauma connected with Upper Silesians’ service in the Weh…
Determinants of escapism in adult video gamers with autism spectrum conditions: The role of affect, autistic burnout, and gaming motivation
Effectiveness of on-line and off-line Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in developing psychological flexibility, self-compassion and ego-resiliency in parents of children with autism spectrum disorder
The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) among parents of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) through reducing psychopathology, improving quality of life, and developing psychological skills (psychological flexibility, self-compassion, and ego-resiliency). The study was quasi-experimental in the form of a four-week ACT intervention; three measurements were obtained (baseline, o…
Early Maladaptive Schemas and Self-Stigma in People with Physical Disabilities: The Role of Self-Compassion and Psychological Flexibility
Self-stigmatizing thoughts may be rooted in one's core beliefs, and in turn be associated with early maladaptive schemas (EMS). Psychological flexibility, an ability to distance and accept one's thoughts, is reported to diminish EMS's effect on well-being, while self-compassion, a mindful attitude towards one's suffering, often reduces self-stigma. The objective of this study was to examine associations between EMS, self-stigma, psychological fle…
