School Violence and Student Psychological Distress
Outcomes of mutual support groups on students’ mental well-being and learning
Purpose This study investigates the potential of mutual support groups as a peer-driven approach within higher education institutions to support students’ mental well-being and enhance learning. It examines how these groups supported students in managing stress and anxiety, fostering social connections, enhancing academic engagement and contributing to personal and professional development during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Classroom-Based Experiential Learning
Background: Studies show that key significant variables related to effectiveness of teaching and learning are students' attitudes towards learning, teacher competencies and teaching methodologies applied (Riera et. al, 2023; Glazier & Bean, 2019; Mulala, 2015; Amirtha & Jebaseelan, 2015). Purpose: To explore changes in primary student attitudes towards learning pre- and post-implementation of a curriculum based on experiential learning methodolog…
Effects of a brief CBT-based anxiety toolbox workshop on study skills, and emotional regulation among high school students in Kosovo
Anxiety, poor study skills, and inadequate emotion regulation affect students’ performance and well-being. Research on cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) interventions has demonstrated their effectiveness on reducing anxiety; yet, it overlooks study skills and emotional regulation strategies. This study evaluated the impact of a brief, skills-based CBT-based Anxiety Toolbox workshop on study skills and emotional regulation among high school stud…
Attentional Bias Among High and Low Ruminators
Rumination, which can be studied through its associated attentional biases, and is a part of the RDoC Negative Valence Systems constructs of Loss, has been proposed as a key transdiagnostic feature in depression. The current study uses eye tracking measurements to explore how different levels of brooding and reflection rumination interact with attentional biases in a non-clinical sample of high and low ruminators. Methodology: 123 adults were adm…
Factor structure of the brief psychiatric rating scale-expanded among outpatients with psychotic disorders in five Southeast European countries
The Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS) is a useful tool for measuring the severity of psychopathological symptoms among patients with psychosis. Many studies, predominantly in Western countries, have investigated its factor structure. This study has the following aims: (a) to further explore the factor structure of the BPRS-Expanded version (BPRS-E, 24 items) among outpatients with psychotic disorders in Southeast European countries; (b) to co…
The relations between socio-demographic information and negative symptoms, mental health, and quality of life
The current study aims to identify meaningful psychotic patients' profiles by examining certain combinations of patient's demographic and socio-economic variables (sex, age, marital status, number of children, cohabitant and level of education). Moreover, we aim to assess whether there is any significant effect of class membership (profile) on negative symptoms, health state, and quality of life among psychotic patients. A convenience sample of 1…
Reducing STEM test anxiety through classroom mindfulness training for lower secondary school children
Although mindfulness is effective in reducing anxiety, research on its impact on test anxiety among lower secondary school children in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM)-related disciplines is limited. Using a one-group pre – post-test research design, this pilot study evaluated the impact of classroom mindfulness meditation training on test anxiety in STEM-related disciplines with 197 sixth-grade students (54.3% boys, aged …
Effectiveness of career guidance workshops on the career self-efficacy, outcome expectations, and career goals of adolescents
Studies consistently show the demand among adolescents for structured career guidance support programmes. This study evaluated the effectiveness of the career guidance workshop intervention by examining changes in career self-efficacy, outcome expectations, and career goals with 47 high school students in grades 10–12 (aged 16–18 years). Based on a five-step model including self-awareness, career exploration, school and career paths, real encount…
