Post-game depression scale - a new measure to capture players' experiences after finishing video games
Post-game depression is the sense of emptiness that arises after completing a deeply immersive game. Although this phenomenon is widely reported by players (e.g., in social media), little research has been done in this field. This work reports the development of the first-ever quantitative measure of post-game depression—the Post-Game Depression Scale (P-GDS). We conducted two studies (with a total number of 373 players participating), and adopted both exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses to finish with the 17-item version of the P-GDS consisting of four subscales: Game-related Ruminations, Challenging End of Experience, Necessity of Repeating the Game and Media Anhedonia. We found the four-factor version of the P-GDS to be internally consistent and valid. Moreover, we observed positive correlations between the intensity of post-game depression and stronger depressive symptoms, tendency to rumination and disturbances in emotional processing, as well as with lower well-being. Finally, role-playing games have been revealed to evoke stronger post-game depression than other games. Our research contributes to the development of new measures of video game-related experiences. - 2025-12-08
Effectiveness of online group interventions in reducing parental burnout in mothers
The present preregistered study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of two types of group interventions delivered online in counteracting parental burnout and its accompanying problems: depressive symptoms, child abuse and neglect, perfectionism, dissatisfaction of psychological needs, and difficulties with parental reflective functioning. The randomized controlled trial involved 118 mothers (Mage = 36.07, SD = 5.10). The mothers were randomized to three groups: two intervention conditions lasting eight weeks each (Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy and Parenting in Balance) and a control group (waiting list). The studied variables were measured before the intervention, 24–48 h after the intervention, three months after the intervention, and six months after the intervention. The results revealed that both interventions effectively and to a similar degree reduced parental burnout in mothers, even six months after the intervention. Moreover, parental burnout declined further after the interventions suggesting that the interventions tested allowed mothers to develop the competencies they used to cope autonomously. Concerning other characteristics, some differences in effectiveness occurred between the two types of interventions. The present study is the first evidence of the effectiveness of online group support in counteracting parental burnout in mothers. Make your mark on the planet! Observing pro-ecological behaviour through a web application
Introduction Pro-ecological actions typically demand additional time and energy. Behaviours that do not harm the environment are rarely the most convenient or simple. Questionnaire studies of pro-ecological behaviour typically ignore the costs of pro-ecological behaviours. To address this, we developed ‘WeCycle’, a web application that allows to observe pro-environmental behaviour through participants’ online actions. Methods We performed a series of analyses (N = 701) to validate the tool as a reliable pro-ecological behaviour indicator. First, we correlated the application results with the most popular pro-ecological questionnaires: the New Ecological Paradigm and General Ecological Behaviour. Furthermore, we examined the correlation between WeCycle application results and participants’ expression of support for pro-ecological solutions. Results Data from the application showed positive statistically significant correlations with all the ecological indicators considered. Conclusions The obtained results support the possibility of using the WeCycle application in research to explore the pro-ecological nature of individuals and as a reasonable alternative to existing declarative measurements.- 2026-01-16
Imagine yourself as a little girl…—efficacy and psychophysiology of imagery techniques targeting adverse autobiographical childhood experiences- multi-arm randomised controlled trial
Fear of failure is often rooted in highly self-critical autobiographical memories that elicit persistent distress and avoidance. Imagery-based interventions aim to reduce the impact of such memories, yet their mechanisms of action remain unclear. In this three-arm parallel group randomised controlled trial, 180 young adults with elevated fear of failure were randomly assigned to imagery exposure, standard imagery rescripting, or imagery rescripting with a 10-min delay designed to disrupt memory reconsolidation. Across four sessions delivered over 2 weeks, outcomes were assessed using self-report measures and physiological markers, with follow-ups at 3 and 6 months. All interventions led to significant and sustained reductions in negative emotions, arousal, and fear of failure, as well as decreased physiological reactivity to autobiographical memories of criticism. Contrary to predictions, delayed rescripting did not show superiority, while planned contrasts suggested more consistent benefits of standard rescripting compared to delayed rescripting and a rebound effect after exposure. Notably, prediction error, operationalised as transient increases in physiological arousal during rescripting, predicted stronger therapeutic change in rescripting but not in exposure. These findings demonstrate that both common therapeutic factors and prediction error contribute to durable improvements in emotional responses to adverse memories, advancing the understanding of mechanisms underlying imagery-based techniques.

Psychologia społeczna. Wydanie drugie zaktualizowane
Nowa wersja podręcznika Psychologia społeczna ukazuje się w 14 lat po jego pierwszej edycji. Później było wiele wydań, bo podręcznik zyskał powszechne uznanie wykładowców i studentów. To wydanie jednak zasadniczo różni się od poprzednich. Współautorem został Tomasz Grzyb. W tomie przybyło wiele nowych fragmentów, niektóre kwestie zaktualizowano bądź opatrzono dodatkowymi komentarzami, odwołując się do świeżej literatury. Przede wszystkim zmienił się świat dookoła nas, pojawiły się nowe zjawiska, jak na przykład światowa pandemia COVID-19 i wraz z tym potrzeba odniesienia się do jej psychologicznych konsekwencji, a o wielu zjawiskach, którymi zajmuje się psychologia społeczna wiemy dziś więcej niż kilkanaście lat temu. Nie pozostało to bez wpływu na sam podręcznik – jego nowa, zmodyfikowana i przeredagowana treść lepiej oddaje charakter zmieniającej się, choć ciągle tak samo fascynującej dziedziny, jaką jest psychologia społeczna. Profesorowie Bogdan Wojciszke i Tomasz Grzyb, psychologowie o światowej renomie, napisali podręcznik do psychologii społecznej, jakiego jeszcze w Polsce nie było. Książka obejmuje wszystkie klasyczne zagadnienia składające się na tę dyscyplinę oraz zagadnienia relatywnie nowe, takie jak kwestie różnic płci, nowych mediów, społeczeństwa sieci, miłości i władzy. Napisana jasnym i barwnym językiem skupia się na prawidłowościach rządzących ludzką psychiką i postępowaniem. Pokazuje, w jak fascynujący sposób psychologia społeczna odpowiada na pytanie, kim jest człowiek i na czym polega jego społeczna natura. Wcześniejsze wydania tej książki stały się fundamentem dydaktyki akademickiej na kierunku psychologia. - 2025-08-11
What Puppygirls Know? The (in)Human Pedagogy of a Trans Feminine Style
‘Puppygirls’ is a name for a particular kinky trans feminine lesbian style, rooted in the long history of trans erotic productions, and currently thriving on social media platforms, such as Twitter (now X), Bluesky, or Discord. In this article, I provide an analysis of the style that is rooted in personal immersion in ‘puppygirl culture’. Using several examples of puppygirl media productions, I argue for the possibility of reading the puppygirl style as a critical practice: one that hints at ways of being trans that do rely on the ciscentric understanding of ‘the human’ as their point of reference. In doing so, I show how puppygirl style resonates with theoretical interventions in the field of trans studies offered by scholars such as Susan Stryker and Talia Mae Bettcher. Rural protest 2012-2022
The database contains occurrences of collective acts of rural protest. It contains a catalogue of all publicly registered rural collective protests events in 2012–2022—a universe. Definition Rural is defined as either 1. occurring within a rural area; or 2. involving rural actors (groups or organizations based in rural communities; or 3. pertaining to issues specific to the countryside, rural life, rural issues, agriculture or the natural environment. “Public” is understood to mean an action which is reported in at least one source. “Collective” is an action undertaken by at least three people. A collective public event is an act of protest if it is undertaken to articulate certain specified demands and is not a routine or legally prescribed behaviour of a social or political organization and whose form deviates from the routinely accepted way of voicing demands. Demands are “articulated” when the participants (whether organized or not) turn to institutions, organizations and enterprises, both public and private, and: express demands addressed at the public. A single protest event may include the activity of several separate groups or organizations. Unit of analysis The unit of analysis combines information derived from a series of articles from all the analysed publications dealing with one particular protest event or with a series of activities which can be defined as a single collective public protest event. Sources The methodology was used to collect information from sectoral (agricultural) and local sources. The sources of information are media which focus their reporting on rural affairs and the countryside. Their content was stored by and commissioned from a specialized company.

Fantazje o byciu podawaną z rąk do rąk. Transkobiece marzenia o uprzedmiotowieniu jako mechanizm produkcji płci
This article is an attempt at the analysis of the relationship between trans feminine fantasies of extreme, sadomasochistic objectification in sexual relations, and social means of the production of gender. Using mixed methods (literary ana-lysis, autotheory, and feminist critique) it situates the problem of sadomasochism and trans femininity within the context of patriarchal gender norms, but also within the context of the desire to embody these norms as a form of a gender affirmation. Rejecting trans-exclusionary proposals, it suggests the possibility to understand the trans feminine romance with objectification as an intentional strategy for seizing the means of the production of gender. However, to understand those strategies, one must look beyond frameworks which portray agency as being founded on a com-plete exclusion of submissiveness.
