Determining the Mental Health Literacy Level of University Students and Examining Their Attitudes Towards Seeking Psychological Help.

This descriptive study examined the mental health literacy levels and attitudes towards seeking psychological help among university students. The study was conducted with 317 students from a university in Türkiye. Data were collected via an online platform using a Personal Information Form, the Mental Health Literacy Scale (MHLS) and the Attitudes Toward Seeking Professional Psychological Help Scale-Short Form (ATSPPHS-SF). Participants, with an average age of 20 ± 1, were predominantly female (89%). Most had previously sought psychological support (75.1%) and believed the psychology information obtained online was accurate (61.2%). Significant differences were found between residential location (p = 0.034) and maternal education level (p = 0.017) with the Knowledge Subscale of MHLS, and between history of seeking psychological support (p = 0.010) with the Resource Subscale of MHLS. Additionally, there was a significant difference between seeking psychological support history and mean ATSPPHS-SF scores (p = 0.060). The scores on MHLS (13.15 ± 3.38) and ATSPPHS-SF (18.38 ± 3.77) indicated moderate levels, with a positive and significant relationship between the scales' total scores (p = 0.000). The study concluded that mental health literacy is crucial for increasing the rate of seeking psychological help. Addressing the lack of knowledge regarding mental health is essential for early diagnosis, prevention and maintenance of mental health. It is recommended incorporating mental health literacy content into university curricula, initiating efforts to provide information about psychological help resources and engaging psychiatric nurses in educational roles on campus through multidisciplinary planning.

Психотехнологии в тактике проведении специальных психофизиологических исследований с применением полиграфа, рассчитанные на акцентуации характера кандидатов на службу в органы внутренних дел Российской Федерации

The relevance of the chosen topic is due to the need for a polygraph examiner to take into account the individual typological characteristics of candidates for service in the process of conducting special psychophysiological studies (SPFI) using a polygraph. The subject of the study: psychological technologies in the tactics of conducting SPFI in relation to the examined persons with character accentuations. The purpose of the study: to develop and experimentally implement psychotechnologies in the conduct of SPFI, designed for the characteristics of accentuated candidates for service in the internal affairs bodies of the Russian Federation. The methodological basis of the study was used: theoretical and applied approaches in the field of strategies and tactics, the phased conduct of psychophysiological research using a polygraph (V.V. Korovin, Yu.I. Kholodny, V.A. Varlamov, A.N. Obukhova, I.P. Obukhova, etc.); the concept of the operational psychological structure of the actions of law enforcement officers (N.R. Bityanova, V.A. Danilov, M.G. Debolsky, A.I. Papkin, I.B. Ponomarev, A.M. Stolyarenko, V.P. Trubochkin, V.I. Chernenilov, etc.); typology of character accentuations (K. Leonhard, A.E. Lichko). Research methods: deductive and inductive methods for generalizing psychological theories, concepts on scientific and applied problems of the research topic; questionnaires of polygraph examiners; psychological analysis of characterizing materials for candidates for service in the internal affairs bodies of the Russian Federation; observation of the examined persons; stimulus-adaptive test (SAT); psychological analysis of polygrams. Psychophysiological studies of candidates for service (20 people) were conducted using a computer polygraph "Diana-04". The sample of the study included 20 candidates for service in the GU of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia in the Stavropol Territory. The results of the experimental study: the use of psychotechnologies in the tactics of conducting a pre-test conversation, designed to accentuate the examined persons, contributes to the optimization of the psycho-emotional state and adaptation of these persons to the SPFI, ensure the effectiveness of the study. The novelty of the research lies in the theoretical development of psychological methods, techniques and means for conducting a pre-test conversation with candidates with character accents, experimental testing of their effectiveness and ensuring the achievement of the goals of socio-psychophysiological research using a polygraph.

The Mediating Role of Basic Psychological Needs and Meaning in Life in Adolescent Suicidal Ideation.

Suicidal ideation and behavior are critical psychological crises among children and adolescents, posing significant concerns for their mental health and safety. This cross-sectional study investigated the factors and underlying psychological mechanisms of suicidal ideation in adolescents. A total of 6474 middle school students from Sichuan and Hebei provinces, China, participated in the study. Data were collected using the Self-Assessment of Suicidal Ideation Scale, the Parental Psychological Control Scale, the Meaning in Life Scale, and the Basic Psychological Needs Scale. Statistical analyses, including mediation and chain mediation analyses, were conducted to examine the relationships between parental psychological control, basic psychological needs, meaning in life, and suicidal ideation. The results revealed the following: (1) Parental psychological control positively predicted suicidal ideation in middle school students; (2) basic psychological needs mediated the relationship between parental psychological control and suicidal ideation; (3) meaning in life mediated the relationship between parental psychological control and suicidal ideation; (4) basic psychological needs and meaning in life together played a chain-mediating role in this relationship. These findings highlight the importance of addressing parental psychological control and fostering a supportive family environment to meet adolescents' psychological needs, enhance their sense of life meaning, and reduce suicidal ideation. Insights from this study provide valuable guidance for prevention and intervention strategies aimed at safeguarding adolescents' mental health and well-being.

From Temples to the Soul: Exploring the Social Drivers and Psychological Depths of Young People's Temple Tourism Phenomenon

Temple tourism has gradually emerged among young people, becoming a new cultural phenomenon. Based on the theory of cultural semiotics, this study explores the social drivers and deeper psychological meanings behind the phenomenon of temple tourism, revealing the psychological needs and social identity of young people in this form of tourism. Using a qualitative research approach, in-depth interviews with 15 young tourists were conducted to analyze the recreation and reinterpretation of temples as cultural symbols within the young demographic. The findings suggest that temple tourism not only meets the young people's need for spiritual solace and emotional healing, but also serves as an important means of self-exploration and cultural identity. Meanwhile, the widespread dissemination of social media has turned temples into key spaces for young people to express themselves, seek a sense of belonging, and receive emotional support. This phenomenon reflects a process of re-creation of traditional culture and history by young people, as well as their strong need for spiritual solace. By uncovering the social drivers and psychological mechanisms behind young people's participation in "temple tourism," this study contributes new insights to the destination marketing literature. Furthermore, the findings provide strategic recommendations for the development and marketing of temple and religious tourism destinations.

“I Can’t Control It”: Lila Avilés’s Feature Films as Environmental Mourning

Climate change has had a profound impact on Mexico. Notably, in 2024, climate scientist Claudia Sheinbaum was elected president. Mexican filmmaker Lila Avilés’s two feature films – La camarista (The Chambermaid, 2018) and Tótem (Totem, 2024) – have garnered significant press attention but little scholarly analysis. Through a detailed examination of Avilés’s portrayal of hygiene and animals, the author argues that the films highlight humanity’s interconnectedness with nature and reflect the failed efforts – through religion, psychology, politics, and other means – to control it. In this sense, Avilés films the ‘anthropological machine’ in the making, and these works should be understood as instances of environmental mourning.

Psychological Safety in Later Life Housing: What it Means to Older LGBTQ+ Adults

ABSTRACT Research on the views and experiences of older LGBTQ+ adults accessing long-term care (LTC) identifies concerns of discrimination and identity loss. However, what the concept of psychological safety means to this population in LTC and later-life housing has been neglected. Understanding psychological safety could help ensure the needs of LGBTQ+ elders are understood and considered more appropriately in LTC planning and operation. Thirty-six older LGBTQ+ adults were interviewed individually or in focus groups. Data were analyzed inductively using reflexive thematic analysis. Eleven subthemes were identified and organized around six main themes: 1) historical impact on psychological safety, 2) discrimination in the current living context, 3) acceptance from others and self, 4) belonging and connection, 5) protection and security, and 6) moving away from heteronormative care. This novel study found that the past and current experiences of LGBTQ+ elders with discrimination and its impact on psychological safety need to be understood and incorporated within staff training. Acceptance, belonging and connection, and protection and security strengthened psychological safety. LTC services and its staff need to move away from heteronormative care, present positive LGBTQ+ attitudes, and show an understanding and awareness of LGBTQ+ intergenerational and intercommunity similarities and differences to engender psychological safety.

THEORETICAL ASPECTS OF THE FORMATION OF SOCIAL VALUES OF PRIMARY SCHOOL STUDENTS BASED ON NATIONAL SPORTS

The article discusses the theoretical aspects of the formation of social values in primary school students based on national sports. The philosophical, psychological, and pedagogical meanings of the concepts of "value" and "social value" are characterized. In the course of the analysis, social values—in a broad sense—are important in the context of compliance or non-compliance with the needs of phenomena and objects of existence, society, social groups, and individuals. It is clarified that in a narrower sense, these are humane and aesthetic requirements that have developed as a product of human culture and social consciousness. Signs of social values are understood as general provisions for members of society, continuously functioning depending on time, regulation of public relations, voluntary and conscious action. Also, according to the theoretical analysis in the article, the life and social types of ways to regulate the behavior of primary school students through social values regulate several attributes. In particular, vital: life, health, physique, safety, well-being, human condition (satiety, calmness, cheerfulness), strength, endurance, quality of life, natural environment (environmental values), practicality, consumption, etc., and social: hard work, wealth, work, family, unity, patriotism, tolerance, discipline, business, risk, social equality, ability to achieve, personal independence, consumption level, etc. In the empirical section, experimental work was carried out for primary school students using the "Value Questionnaire" method. Schwartz and M. Rokich's methodology "Definition of value orientations" was used.

This study focuses on developing an experiential liberal arts course that integrates psychology and art, based on Lev Vygotsky’s sociocultural theory. The program aims to foster analytical thinking by having students analyze and interpret art from a psychological perspective, deepening their emotional and cognitive responses. Through exploring the psychological meanings of artworks, students will gain a comprehensive understanding of social phenomena and dynamics, equipping them to solve problems. The course combines theoretical lectures on psychology and art with practical activities like museum visits and theater viewings, allowing students to apply theory in real-world contexts. This integrated approach aims to enhance students’ critical thinking, creative problem-solving, and interdisciplinary skills. The significance of this study lies in developing a program that fosters holistic thinking and prepares individuals with the multidimensional skills needed in modern society.

THE USE OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES BY A TEACHER FOR THE EMOTIONAL AND VALUE INVOLVEMENT OF STUDENTS IN THE EDUCATIONAL PROCESS

Psychological research into the personal and professional development of teachers is focused on the study of their involvement in teaching activities and their ability to involve students who become more successful in educational activities. Involved teachers become more effective. Purpose. The study investigates the psychological content of the resource complex “engagement – involvement”. Another goal is to identify the psychological means of resource development and actualization. Participants. Students (n=), school teachers (n=), high school students (n=) took part in the study. Methods. The study was carried out in two stages. A special methodological program was developed for each stage. Methods of statistical data processing were used. Results. The specifi c content of the complex of “engagement – involvement” has been revealed. It was determined that teachers of the developmental model (. %) are distinguished by their pronounced involvement and ability to involve students in educational activities, in contrast to teachers of the adaptive functioning model (. %) with low indicators of this complex and high indicators of professional deformations. Students (more than  %) are characterized by signs of procrastination and learned helplessness, the formation and consolidation of which occurs due to constant school failures caused by professional deformations of teachers. Psychological means that contributed to the actualization of the “engagement–involvement” complex as a resource for the personal and professional development of teachers and students were identifi ed. Digital technologies used by teachers contribute to the development of cognitive functions, provide a charge of positive emotions (gamifi cation, VR, storytelling, etc.) and support students’ involvement in the learning process. Conclusions. The results of the research showed that engagement and involvement are the resource complex that determines personal and professional development in teachers and students. A new technological solution, which has proven its effectiveness in experiments and is recommended for implementation in the educational process, has been proposed for updating this complex.

Inferioritas Tokoh dalam Novel Prasetyane Wanita Karya Tulus Setiyadi

Inferiority is a feeling that arises in a person, characterized by feelings of weakness and being lower than others due to certain imperfect circumstances in social life. A person with low social interest and an abnormal lifestyle often experiences feelings of inferiority or low self-esteem. The author examines the personalities of characters experiencing inferiority in the novel Prasetyane Wanita by Tulus Setiyadi, published in 2020. The objectives of this study are (1) to explain the manifestations of the characters' inferiority. This research is a qualitative study using a descriptive qualitative method to describe the manifestations of inferiority with the aim of understanding the psychological meanings of the characters. The literary psychology theory used is Alfred Adler's individual psychology theory, which aligns with the research on the inferiority feelings experienced by individuals and the efforts they make to become superior. The data source for this research is the novel "Prasetyane Wanita," with data including character dialogues, words, sentences, and behaviors of characters who feel inferior. Data collection techniques involve library research, consisting of four stages: reading, noting, collecting data, and sorting data. Data analysis includes three stages: data reduction, data explanation, and conclusion. The findings of this research indicate that the manifestations of inferiority in the characters include frustration, sadness, insecurity, and anxiety.

Psalm 72 in light of the psychological theories of poverty

Prior to the 1980s, various theories of poverty have been proposed by psychologists, ranging from, but not limited to, ‘naturalizing perspective’, ‘constitutionally inferior perspective’, or ‘nativist perspective’; to the ‘McClelland approach’ (McClelland 1961, 1965, 1973); to the ‘attribution theory’; and to Lewis’ (1975) culture of poverty theory. The theories tease out issues of the accumulated environmental deficits and psychiatric disorders, such as depression as well as the lack of ambition and mental drive to achieve success. However, from the 1980s, psychologists returned to the Lewis’ culture of poverty theory. The World Bank Development Report for 2000–2001’s expansion of Sen’s (1999) theory, which placed emphasis and/as three-pillars on ‘security’, ‘empowerment’ and ‘opportunity’ led for one, among other psychological bodies, the American Psychological Association to consider various conceptualisation of the theories of poverty. The paper tests the psychological theories of poverty against the background of the historical-literary read poetic text of Psalm 72. Does a poetic reading of Psalm 72 bear a psychological meaning when read within the framework of psychological theories of poverty? Firstly, the paper investigates psychological theories of poverty prior to 1980s to the present. Secondly, in a poetically and historically read Psalm 72, the psychological presuppositions are teased out. In the end, the paper submits with caution that when read within the framework of psychological theories of poverty, the poetically read Psalm 72 produces psychological meaning, which contributes value to the reading of Biblical poetic texts.Intradisciplinary and/or interdisciplinary implications: The article draws on the discipline of psychology, employing the psychology theories of poverty to read an Old Testament poetic text of Psalm 72. The meaning of Psalm 72 is derived from the psychological reading of the historical-literary critically analysed poetic Hebrew Bible text.

Philosophy of music in the context of mathematics

In the philosophy of mathematics, two opposing trends have historically developed: apriorism (Pythagoras) and empiricism (Aristotle) and both of them have had their impact on the development of music. Philosophers of Ancient Greece and the East noted the important role of music; it was used in religious rites, which served as the basis for social and state relations. The article presents a joint panorama of the development (by historical eras) of the philosophy of mathematics and music and notes their close relationship. But if the Philosophy of Mathematics has long been included in the section of sciences «Philosophical Questions of Science», the Philosophy of Music has not yet acquired such a full-fledged status, although philosophers, specialists in aesthetics, art criticism, composers and musicians have dedicated their works to it. This can be attributed to the fact that since the time of Pythagoras, science has not advanced much in explaining the phenomenon of music. The article attempts to explain this paradox and offer as a hypothesis possible options for studying this topic «Mathematics and Music». The development of brain sciences, high technologies and cognitive sciences can contribute to the success in the development of the Philosophy of Music. The philosophy of music explores ontological, epistemological and axiological problems, the essence, historical and social existence of music, as well as the features of its interaction with art, literature, mathematics, natural and humanitarian sciences. Applied issues of the philosophy of music are the formation of ethical and cognitive guidelines for life and ideological ideals in humans. Music finds its practical embodiment in medicine, psychology, education and various means of communication. The latter is becoming the most important direction of modern philosophy and science. At present, mathematics contributes to the development of new integral directions in music associated with light, color and many other characteristics.

SYMBOLIC CONNOTATIONS AS AN INPUT TO THE DESIGN OF THE ADVERTISING POSTER

The research dealt with the background of the research, the research problem, the importance of the research, the research objectives, the research hypotheses, the research limits, the research methodology, and the research terms. The first chapter dealt with the visual perception of shapes, the symbolic semantic formulation of the shape, the formulation of visually created shapes, the visual perception of shapes, the physiology of shape perception, the visual formulation, and the structural composition of the visual message, including the representative level, the abstract level, and the symbolic level, the semantic properties of images. The second chapter included the semantic meaning of shapes, the stages of the emergence of semantics, and the types of semantic meanings, which represent the basic cognitive meaning, the additional or secondary meaning, the stylistic meaning, the psychological meaning, and the suggestive meaning. Forms of meaning change include the specialization of meaning, generalization, and transfer of meaning. The third chapter dealt with the research experience, the intellectual aspect of the experience, the technical aspect of the experience, and the technical analysis of the results of the experience. The fourth chapter dealt with the results, recommendations, and references.

К ассоциативной типологии в контексте изучения языка как достояния человека

The article discusses a number of fundamental for the development of associative typology propositions connected with systemogenesis of language as a human species- specific phenomenon. Using the example of the psychological meanings of lexical units that make up the ethnopolitically marked paradigm of the “national”, the author reflects on the patterns in the functioning of a living language, which are revealed on associative- verbal models of the Russian Language Personality (RLP) and can serve as the basis for the development of an associative typology of language. The article considers the problem of ontology and functional motivation of associative (active) grammar (as an inherent property of a linguistic personality) on a semantic basis. The hypothesis of associative grammar as a factor contributing to the integrative formation of meaningful units in the course of their being recruited for the inclusion into the speech flow through elimination of redundancy is proposed for consideration. It is stated that different functionally specific types of techniques aimed at elimination of redundancy and discovered via experiment can be considered as a subject for analysis in associative typology in the light of whole-systemic comparative analyses of network models of an average (national) linguistic personality. They can be described in terms of associative dominants (accentuations of a linguistic personality) and statistically formalized using vector models represented as psychoglosses and /or chronoglosses (in current diachrony).

'I Think the First Priority is Physically Safe First, Before You Can Actually Get Psychologically Safe': Staff Perspectives on Psychological Safety in Inpatient Mental Health Settings.

While the concept of psychological safety has been gaining momentum, research concerning psychological safety in inpatient mental health wards is lacking. To investigate how psychological safety is conceptualised by healthcare staff in inpatient mental health units, and what barriers and facilitators exist. Reflexive Thematic Analysis was used to analyse 12 interviews. Participants conceptualised psychological safety as feeling safe from physical harm, being able to develop meaningful relationships and feeling valued at work. Participants often did not feel physically safe at work, which led them to feel psychologically unsafe. Barriers to psychological safety were reliance on agency workers, punitive management approaches and the inherent risk in working with mental health inpatients. Facilitators included appropriate staffing ratios and skill mix, being able to form meaningful relationships and having access to support. The emphasis on the physical safety element within psychological safety means that existing definitions of psychological safety require extension for the mental healthcare context. However, large-scale research is needed to further understand experiences of psychological safety in this group. A better understanding of the dimensions of psychological safety in inpatient mental health settings could support the development of tools to investigate psychological safety interventions. Organisations could support psychological safety through regular staff supervision and improved staffing ratios and skill mix.

Speech Action as a Meaning-Forming Component of Communication: Psycholinguistic Parameters of Analysis

The paper focuses on identifying the number of Overlapping Associates (O) and Overlapping Associate Strength (OSG), as well as on demonstrating the possibilities of using these indices in the analysis of a speech action. The associative fields bogatyj and bednyj presented in the Russian Associative Dictionary and rich and poor indicated in the associative norms of the University of South Florida are used as research material. It has been established that bogatyj – bednyj and rich – poor are the most frequent cue – target pairs. The power of predication in different pairs can vary significantly. The overlapping associates, which may be different in number, represent semantic features that form the similarity basis for the meanings of the studied words. It has been proved that the level of similarity largely depends not on the number of overlapping associates, but rather on the strength of their overlap. The data obtained indicate that the psychological meaning of the words bogatyj and bednyj in the Russian thesaurus is closer than rich and poor in the American one. It is also found that the index of Overlapping Associate Strength for the associate money is higher than for the associate dengi. This emphasizes its relevance for the Americans.

From employee socialization to co‐evolution: A lifespan multidisciplinary conceptualization

AbstractVarious theories have highlighted how employees evolve in their organization and how organizations influence this process, but only portray part of the complex relations among these interacting social entities. We thus propose a meta‐theory to unify these multiple theories, including symbolic interactionism, employee/organizational socialization theory, human resource management (HRM) systems theory, cultural consensus theory, and self‐determination theory. This integration seeks to increase our understanding of the co‐evolution process unfolding over time between individuals and the organizations to which they belong. We first propose a multilevel expansion of the symbolic interactionist framework typically used to described employee socialization. In doing so, we integrate organizational culture, climate, identity, image, reputation, and HRM systems as distinct meso‐social phenomena that can be simultaneously considered in the co‐evolution process and themselves be influenced by macro‐social processes. We then outline how this proposed framework can explain the dynamic co‐evolution occurring between employees and the organization, hoping to spur research on the improvement of social entities through psychological means.

Experiences of menopause among non-binary and trans people

Background Conventional categorizations of menopause can be difficult to apply to trans, gender non-conforming and non-binary (TGNB) populations. Menopause has biological, psychological and social meanings that may be hard to clearly apply within a context of diverse experiences of sex and gender. Nonetheless, some TGNB people do experience menopause, and their experiences may be different from those of other groups due to those diverse biopsychosocial understandings and experiences. Method This paper thematically analyses the responses of 15 TGNB respondents who responded to a larger survey about LGBTQ+ experiences of menopause. Results Two key themes were identified: Menopause and embodied identities, and Navigating gender normativity and gender binarism. The first of these contains two sub-themes, shifting and (un)settled gender identities, and embodied dis/connections with femaleness. Conclusions These findings appear to be comparatively novel within the published academic literature but potentially have some parallels with prior observations regarding interactions between puberty and gender identity, and also regarding TGNB people’s experiences of challenges in navigating other health and life experiences normatively understood as female. These explorations raise a number of potentially sensitive questions, given the current debate and controversies around gender, sex and identity. Nonetheless, they point to a need for further research and practice into menopause that is inclusive and supportive of a range of gender and sexual identities.

Biomonitoring of Serum Markers as a Measurement of Occupational Exposure in Personnel at Landfill Site

Improper handling and management of municipal solid wastes can produce adverse health effects on waste pickers through biological, chemical, physical, mechanical or psychological means. They are vulnerable to various occupational health hazards such as respiratory disorders, gastrointestinal diseases, skin diseases, eye infections and musculoskeletal disorders. Hence, we aimed to conduct biomonitoring and health risk assessment on women rag pickers. This study included 250 women waste pickers: 160 exposed working on the Pirana dumping site and 90 control subjects from around the residential areas of Ahmedabad city of Gujarat (India). C-reactive protein, Alkaline phosphatase, Alanine transaminase and Aspartate transaminase were significantly high in serum samples of exposed subjects suggesting gallbladder inflammation, acute hepatitis A and B or oxidative stress. After comparing the lipid profile of exposed and control subjects, we found a significant decrease in cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and triglyceride frequency which is a sign of malnutrition or hyperthyroidism. Random blood sugar, globulin and total serum protein were reduced significantly. In contrast, a significant increase was found in albumin, phosphorus, creatinine, urea and uric acid levels of exposed individuals, which indicates potential disorders of the liver and kidney. Direct exposure to solid waste, agrochemicals, heavy metals, toxic industrial and hospital waste, and toxic air having high concentrations of polyaromatic hydrocarbons and bioaerosols, unhealthy eating and sanitary habits, and negligence towards health were major contributing factors to ill effects on their liver and kidney. We suggest effective education, and communication programs for preventive and protective measures to address problems of rag pickers. The present study emphasizes the need for regular monitoring of contamination among the rag-picking population and areas around the Pirana landfill site for better information on exposure to rag pickers.

Building psychological resilience among families of service personnel.

Psychological resilience means adapting positively to adversity. This is armed forces' very context and function-encountering, enduring, and overcoming challenging situations through resilience. Scientific study of psychological resilience has moved from individual, to process, onward to developmental trajectories, and to neuro-biological underpinnings. Person-focused and environment-focused variables help us understand the resilient individual. Family resilience has been scarcely studied. The impact of frequent relocations, deployments, uncertainty, stress, injuries, illness, and death on spouses and children of service personnel manifests in varied ways, generating varied concerns and outcomes. Armed Forces across the world have addressed these concerns over the years. Apart from traditional approaches, some recent initiatives have been made in the Indian context. Effective psychological resilience interventions will have to be feasible, culturally acceptable, and possibly supported by digital technology to have a broad impact on families and soldiers.
