background The objective of this study was to evaluate the relationships in the family of origin in a sample of mothers who had their first child as teenagers (off-time motherhood). We also sought to answer the following question: are there any differences in the evaluation of relationships between mothers who gave birth to their first child in their teens and those who had their first baby during women’s best fertility age (on-time motherhood)? For women, the optimum reproductive age is anywhere between 20 and 30 years of age.

The aim of the case study was to describe the profile of cognitive and emotional functioning of a patient with possible progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) from a longitudinal perspective. This study involved an 71-year-old male patient diagnosed with PSP, and 9 matched healthy subjects. Neuropsychological examination of the patient was performed twice with a 6-month interval. A set of neuropsychological tests was used to assess both cognition and behaviour. Neuropsychological assessment revealed executive dysfunction dominance (planning deficits, reduced cognitive flexibility and abstract thinking, impulsiveness), reduced verbal fluency, psychomotor slowness and problems with memory retrieval from the long-term memory storage in contrast to significantly better recognition of the previ-ously learned information. According to emotional functioning, frontal change of personality was observed, with apathy, disinhibition, lack of insights, impulsiveness and “utilization behaviours”. The profile of emotional and cognitive impairments met the criteria for dementia. There was a progression of deficits at visit two in comparison to visit one. The longitudinal perspective allowed the dynamics of emotional, cognitive and behavioural changes to be described over time: from depression related to initially preserved criticism of the illness to apathy and emotional blunting and behavioural frontal syndrome connected with the systematic loss of insight.

conclusions App-based colouring may be a contemporary timeand cost-effective intervention in reducing anxiety. However, the non-significant increase in mindfulness appears challenging when attempting to justify the results. The effectiveness of colouring apart from mindfulness is seen through potential constructs such as flow, and display a limitation that requires further reflections on guidance to enhance mindfulness through colouring. Future directions are discussed.

participants and procedure The sample consisted of 97 women with breast cancer after mastectomy (mean age = 55.68 years). The participants completed the following self-reported assessments: Beck’s Depression Inventory, Scale of Assessment of SelfAttractiveness in the Relationship by Chybicka and Karasiewicz and the Good Marriage Questionnaire KDM-2 by Plopa and Rostowski. All women were married (89.70%) or in informal relationships (10.30%). Recruitment for the study was conducted among women from the Amazonki community.

Adolescents with craniofacial conditions (CFCs) may experience intrapersonal and interpersonal challenges such as a greater sensitivity to attractiveness, fewer social supports, and more social withdrawal, all of which can hinder social interactions. However, there are contradictory findings as to whether adolescents with CFCs have more social problems than their peers. This article provides a framework for the social context of interpersonal relationships for those with CFCs drawn from relevant theoretical underpinnings. The authors conducted a comprehensive literature review examining social factors that affect the interpersonal functioning of adolescents with CFCs. Over 35 articles were taken from the growing, but limited, research on this topic via PsychInfo and PubMed using specific search terms such as “craniofacial”, “facial dysmorphisms”, “complex facial dysmorphisms”, “interpersonal”, “psychosocial”, “social functioning”, and “adolescents” among others. Research has identified three salient barriers in social interactions: unattractive or inexpressive faces, social stigma, and societal misconceptions. The empirical studies reviewed postulate that having a facial difference does not result in social dysfunction, but rather the pressures and influences of society negatively impact social functioning. Based on the findings from this review, the authors propose a novel psychosocial model that explains the social dysfunction of adolescents with CFCs. Limitations and future interventions are also discussed.

The Academic Motivation Scale (AMS) is a measure of motivation in education. The AMS is based on the self-determination theory, which subdivides motivation into amotivation, extrinsic motivation and intrinsic motivation. The main purpose of this study was to examine the validity and reliability of the Polish version of the AMS and to identify motivation to study of Polish university students. The first sample consisted of 1592 Polish university students (653 males, 939 females) majoring in physical education, physiotherapy, tourism and recreation, sport or sport and tourism management. The second sample consisted of 49 Polish university students (13 males, 36 females) of tourism and recreation. The AMS was validated using exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. Cronbach’s α was used to estimate reliability and internal consistency of the scale. The AMS showed adequate levels of internal consistency (Cronbach α values above .78) and temporal stability (mean test-retest correlation = .88). Additionally, the fit indices of CFA were satisfactory (χ 2 / df = 4.95, GFI = .927, AGFI = .910, RMSEA = .050). Female students scored higher than males on four motivation subscales and lower on amotivation. The results confirmed the original seven-factor and 28-item structure of the Polish version of the AMS. The results support the use of the Polish version of the AMS as a tool for assessing university students’ motivation. Validity and reliability of the Polish version of the Academic Motivation Scale

The authors consider the existence of an energy transfer system (ETS) in the human body and its consequences for health, performing a review of the available literature and studies. The article is an attempt to describe the possible psychophysiological mechanism of ETS (i.e. mechanism of transmission of stimuli in connective tissue) based on biochemical reactions, which was first described in Eastern Medicine a long time ago. Some previously reported results suggest that it is possible to modulate the psychophysiological effects on the connective tissue, and that the internal ETS can be activated not only through internal acupoints but also through breath self-regulation techniques. Among the people specialized in such breathing are martial art fighters. In a very preliminary pilot study we investigate four cases in a Vietnamese Thiên Môn Đạo (TMD) group, where breathing techniques result in cardiovascular and blood pressure changes, which can indirectly suggest activation of ETS. An additional energy system in the human body is postulated. However, future research is seriously needed. Findings could be applicable e.g. in cardiac rehabilitation programs.
作者认为存在的能量传递系统(ETS)在人体内及其对健康的影响，执行现有的文献和研究综述。本文试图从生物化学反应的角度来描述很早以前在东方医学中首次描述的ETS(即刺激在结缔组织中的传递机制)可能的心理生理机制。一些先前报道的结果表明，调节结缔组织的心理生理效应是可能的，并且内部ETS不仅可以通过内部穴位激活，还可以通过呼吸自我调节技术激活。在专门从事这种呼吸的人中，有武术选手。在一项非常初步的试点研究中，我们调查了越南Thiên Môn Đạo (TMD)组的四例病例，其中呼吸技术导致心血管和血压变化，这可能间接提示ETS的激活。假设人体中有一个额外的能量系统。然而，未来的研究是迫切需要的。研究结果可以应用于心脏康复项目。

Soldiers who return to their country of residence after military service are subject to numerous, mostly negative, effects linked to exposure to stress. Post-traumatic stress disorder is one of the most common anxiety disorders, one which develops as a result of being exposed to traumatic experiences, both psychological and physical. Post-traumatic stress disorder is also the main result of participation in active armed combat impacting war veterans, concerning mostly service undertaken outside their home country. Consequently, proper psychological preparation for armed combat, psychological support during service, as well as the support granted after soldiers return home, are of critical importance. This work characterises social support which is given to army personnel involved in armed combat. Methods of social involvement, which are provided to the soldiers taking part in military service outside their country, have also been described. The paper itself was written for two reasons: firstly, in order to exchange knowledge mainly in the areas of psychology and sociology; and secondly, to focus attention on those soldiers struggling with issues resulting from participation in military service outside their home country.
