Visual assessment of performance-related stimulus expectancy and its implications for placebo response dilution
Expectancy effects are crucial determinants of placebo responses; however, neglecting differences in agent-specific beliefs may lead to an underestimation of response effects. This study had two main goals: (1) to theoretically explore how individual differences in expectations about agents influence response outcomes, and (2) to create a visual tool for assessing stimulus-specific expectancies. The sample included 435 adults (58.5% female) who a…
Demographic Predictors Associated With Elevated Screen Use in Preschoolers
The widespread use of smartphones and tablets has greatly increased screen exposure among preschoolers. Since early childhood is crucial for cognitive, behavioural and social development, excessive screen time represents a major public health concern. Identifying factors influencing young children's screen use is vital for creating effective family guidance and health policies. Using convenience sampling, this study collected data from 633 parent…
An Assessment of Motor Skills in Infants at Risk of Atypical Psychomotor Development Using the Vojta Method
Background : Some neonates are assessed for the risk of atypical psychomotor development at birth and are referred for reflex locomotion therapy using the Vojta method. Aim : The aim of this study was to analyze the relationships between spontaneous motor activity (SMA), ideal movement patterns (IMPs), central coordination disorders (CCDs), vital signs at birth, involuntary reflexes, and postural asymmetry in infants. Methods : This study involve…
The influence of extreme thermal stress on the physiological and psychological characteristics of young women who sporadically use the sauna
Background: Many individuals who use the sauna at a temperature of 120°C of higher are not aware of the negative consequences of extreme thermal stress. Despite extensive research into sauna use, the impact of extreme thermal stress on the physiological and psychological characteristics of sauna users have not been examined to date. Aim: The aim was to determine the effect of 20 min sauna sessions with a temperature of 80°C and 120°C on the physi…
The Importance of Resilience and Level of Anxiety in the Process of Making a Decision about Sars-CoV-2 Vaccination
People's opinions on immunization are diverse. Despite the constant improvement of vaccine formulas, the number of people reluctant to immunize is not decreasing. The purpose of our study is to assess the psychological determinants of immunization reluctance in depth. We measured levels of anxiety (death-related and general), fear of COVID-19, self-esteem and resilience among 342 adults. We found that the level of COVID-19 related fear is higher …
Sex Differences in Anthropometric and Physiological Profiles of Hungarian Rowers of Different Ages
The aim of this study was to determine sexual differentiation in the anthropometric and physiological characteristics of Hungarian rowers in different age categories. These characteristics were measured for 15-16-year-old juniors (55 men and 36 women), 17-18-year-old older juniors (52 men and 26 women), and 19-22-year-old seniors (23 men and 8 women). The degree of sexual dimorphism was expressed in units of measurement as percentages and the dim…
Anthropometric and Physiological Profiles of Hungarian Youth Male Soccer Players of Varying Ages and Playing Positions
The values of anthropometric parameters increased with age. As expected, the oldest group achieved the best results in the performance tests. Goalkeepers outperformed the players representing other playing positions in the tests when assessing lower limb strength, sprint performance (5- and 10-m distance), and agility tests. From a practical point of view, the presented anthropometric and physiological profiles of players representing different a…
Masquerade of Polish Society—Psychological Determinants of Covid-19 Precautionary Behaviors
The risk of contracting COVID-19 was a very specific situation of uncertainty and ambi-guity, and of course, cognitively interesting for psychologists studying the determinants of behaviors of different personality types. In this study, we set our sights on trying to find a correlation between adherence to wearing masks and receiving vaccinations and having certain character traits that we thought might influence preventive behavior or not. We fo…
Impact of Personal Experience of Covid-19 Disease on Recreational Anglers’ Attitudes and Behaviors
Unawareness, combined with ignorance, could be a potential factor in the transmission of the virus while fishing. The behaviors of almost 30% of anglers are particularly risky when combined with a strong need to fish in the company of friends and familiar people. Anglers' social identity should be tapped by fishery managers. Targeted educational campaigns should be aimed at groups around specific fishing spots. The need for self-limitation under …
The Influence of Covid-19 on University Students’ Well-Being, Physical Activity, Body Composition, and Strength Endurance
The COVID-19 pandemic caused a significant decrease in WB, PA and SE levels in young females and males, and led to a significant increase in their body mass and BMI
Body composition and level of physical activity of elderly people living in north-eastern Poland associated with socioeconomic factors
Introduction: Studies conducted in various regions of the world have indicated that physical activity level, body composition and socioeconomic variables can be associated. Therefore, the objective of this study was to determine whether socioeconomic factors are associated with level of physical activity and differences in the body composition of elderly people living in north-eastern Poland. Materials and Methods: The study involved 774 older re…
Endocrine Effects of Repeated Hot Thermal Stress and Cold Water Immersion in Young Adult Men
The aim of the study was to determine the effect of repeated hot thermal stress and cold water immersion on the endocrine system of young adult men with moderate and high levels of physical activity (PA). The research was conducted on 30 men aged 19–26 years (mean: 22.67 ± 2.02) who attended four sauna sessions of 12 min each (temperature: 90−91°C; relative humidity: 14–16 %). Each sauna session was followed by a 6-min cool-down break during whic…
Secular changes in the anthropometric and motor characteristics of Polish male university students between 2000 and 2018
Objectives To determine changes in the anthropometric and motor characteristics of young males during the first 20 years of the 21st century in Poland. Materials and Methods The study was conducted in 2000–2018 on 2691 randomly selected male university students aged 19÷25 (20.0 ± 1.1 years). The participants' body mass and height were measured, and the students participated in 13 motor ability tests. The analyzed traits were evaluated by testing …
