Psychotherapists’ Reports regarding the Impact of the Covid-19 Pandemic on Their Patients
The COVID-19 outbreak has raised questions about how vulnerable groups experience the pandemic. Research that focuses on the view of individuals with pre-existing mental health conditions is still limited, and so are cross-country comparative surveys. We gathered our sample of qualitative data during the first lockdown after governmental measures against the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus came into force in Austria, Czechia, Germany, and Slovakia…
Age-related differences in valence and arousal of emotion concepts
Emotion concepts are representations that enable people to make sense of their own and others’ emotions. The present study, theoretically driven by the conceptual act theory, explores the overall spectrum of emotion concepts in older adults and compares them with the emotion concepts of younger adults. Data from 178 older adults (⩾55 years) and 176 younger adults (20–30 years) were collected using the Semantic Emotion Space Assessment task. The a…

The present study investigated the fear of psychotherapists to become infected with COVID-19 d…
Social work leaders’ authenticity positively influences their dispositions toward ethical decision-making

Two hundred and thirty-eight leaders (81.9% female) from organisations working in various fields of social work were given the Authenticity Scale, Managerial Ethi…
Understanding death, suicide and self-injury among adherents of the emo youth subculture
Emo youth subculture bases its subcultural identification mostly on symbols of death, dying, suicide, and other kinds of morbid content.

Semistructured in-depth qualitative interviews were conducted with 14 emo adherents, accompanied by the analysis of emo Web discussion forums. Participants reported attitudes including high ac…
Neuroticism and Valence of Negative Emotional Concepts

Further, they evaluated the valence of 10 given negative emotions - disgust, anger, sadness, fear, contempt, hate, disappointment, jealousy, envy and guilt.
