In one of the most prestigious scientific journals in the field, Michaela Ladmanová and a team of authors published their study. Other members of the Center for Psychotherapy Research, Tomáš Řiháček and Klára Jonášová, collaborated on the study.

Growing Up Near the Frontline: The Experiences of Ukrainian Adolescents and Their Parents' Perspective

How does living in close proximity to the frontline affect the mental well-being of adolescents, and how do their parents perceive their experiences? A new study by INPSY members Karel Rečka and Anna Ševčíková, alongside researchers from Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, maps the everyday impacts of the conflict on families from Ukraine's hardest-hit regions. The findings reveal not only impaired emotional regulation and somatic symptoms of stress, but also a discrepancy between how safety and fear are perceived by children versus their parents.

European adolescents online and in games: loneliness links risk and health

A number of studies show that adolescents who play games or use social media at risk tend to be lonelier and have poorer mental well-being. However, the usual approach is to work with a sum of symptoms, so it remains unclear which specific manifestations of risky use are behind this connection and whether they are the same for gaming and social media.

Why the Belief That Our Nation Is Exceptional Ultimately Causes Us Stress

The belief that one’s own nation is exceptional yet underappreciated by others lies at the heart of so-called national narcissism. Unlike patriotism, it is characterized by a sense of entitlement to recognition and a constant dissatisfaction with how that nation is perceived by the outside world. Previous research has shown that people with higher levels of national narcissism are more likely to experience stress or depressive symptoms, but it remained unclear which was the cause and which was the effect. A new study by our member Michal Mužík sought to capture how national narcissism and negative emotions influence each other over time.
