Our colleague Lenka Štěpánková attended the third annual conference on parental burnout, which took place in Porto. She presented her poster on Czech participants' perceptions of maternal emotions and the prevalence of burnout in a sample of Czech parents. You can see it below.
The conference also brought together, among others, representatives of the international IIPB consortium, which includes 50 countries and deals with research on parental burnout, of which Lenka is a member.
Anna Ševčíková, Lukas Blinka and Andrea Stašek visited the 10th International Conference on Behavioral Addictions, which took place in Nantes, France. They have been attending this prestigious conference since its inception and have been able to contribute to the international debate on measuring, problematizing and addressing (excessive) use of the Internet, gaming and pornography.
Preventing bullying in schools is a long-standing goal of many research studies and school programmes. Despite the prevalence and severity of the problem, many interventions have so far proved only partially effective. However, some researchers argue that understanding exactly how these programmes work - i.e. what mechanisms lead to behaviour change or what role related protective and risk factors such as empathy, self-confidence or moral disengagement play in these interventions - is crucial. It is these questions that the research team, led by our member Adam Klocek, has tried to answer.
