This study aimed to examine profiles of subjective well-being (SWB) and their stability during the economic hardships associated with the long-term impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Selected sociodemographic, personality, and context-related variables were tested as covariates. Data were collected from 1755 participants (mean age 45.75 ± 15.99 years) in a nationwide panel over four waves (from November 2022 to June 2023; 34.3% dropout rate). SWB was measured using the Satisfaction with Life Scale and the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule, while personality traits were assessed with the Ten-Item Personality Inventory. Latent profile and transition analyses identified four SWB profiles (ambivalent, average, low, high) that remained stable over 8 months despite a significant drop in the inflation rate. Subjectively evaluated financial situation and the perceived impact of inflation on the household were significant covariates of profile membership, even after controlling for personality traits. The results of this study support the set-point theory of SWB and suggest that SWB is stable under socially shared circumstances of economic hardships, which may be attributed to both individual-level and country-level processes.

Burnout, work-related daily negative affect and rumination: a mediation model combining an intensive and longitudinal design
Basińska, Beata A.
Schaufeli, Wilmar
Gruszczyńska, Ewa
Objective: The study aims to examine the relationship between daily negative affect and rumination in the context of work and to verify their mediating roles in the process of burnout. Design: A classic longitudinal design with two measurement points for burnout was combined with 10 daily online assessments of negative affect and rumination among 235 civil servants. Results: A random intercept cross-lagged panel model was implemented. Carryover, cross-lagged, and same-day relationships between work-related negative affect and rumination were analysed from a within-person perspective. The results did not confirm reproducible carryover and cross-lagged effects. The only significant positive associations were found for same-day relationships. At the between-person level, a mediation model of the random intercepts of negative affect and rumination between two burnout measurements was tested. Negative affect was positively related to rumination; however, only negative affect partially mediated the relationship between burnout levels over a four-month interval. Conclusions: The study clarifies the role of rumination in the process of job burnout. First, after removing stable interpersonal differences, reciprocal effects between daily negative affect and daily rumination could not be confirmed. Second, work-related affect may longitudinally play a greater role in burnout exacerbation than ruminating on work.

Rosenthal, M. Zachary
Background: Misophonia is a complex disorder characterized by a strong aversion to specific sounds, leading to significant distress and impairment. While the Duke Misophonia Questionnaire (DMQ) is one of the most comprehensive and validated measures for assessing misophonia, the relative importance of specific subscales and items within the DMQ remains unclear. Network analysis enables an understanding of the interconnections among subscales, providing insights into which parts of the measure are most central to the others. This study employed network analysis to examine the interconnections among DMQ subscales and identify the most central components of misophonia symptomatology. Methods: Network analysis was conducted on DMQ data from 144 adults with varying levels of misophonia symptoms. Four network models were examined: overall misophonia, symptoms, beliefs, and impairment. Sex differences were also explored. Results: The Impairment subscale emerged as the most central in the overall network for both males and females. Key items included cognitive reactions (“I need to get away from the sound,” “I thought about physically hurting the person making the sound”) as well as affective reactions (panic, anger) in the symptom sub-network, non-acceptance of misophonia beliefs (“I hate being like this”) in the belief sub-network, and deterioration of self-esteem due to misophonia in the impairment sub-network. Females reported more severe cognitive and physiological symptoms than males. Conclusions: The DMQ Impairment subscale and specific items identified as most central in each network may represent key aspects of misophonia symptomatology. Prioritizing these components in assessment and intervention efforts may be beneficial when appropriate.

But I am your mother!? Queer-feminist resistance to censorship in fascist times
Majewska, Ewa
This article is a feminist-queer discussion of contemporary forms of censorship and resistance to those abuses. Drawing on recent examples from Poland, the emphasis is given to systemic, neoliberal forms of censoring, which make the ‘caring hands of the fascist Leviathan’ even more ready to restrict freedom.

Sex therapists and the problem of sexual desire discrepancy in the relationship
Grunt-Mejer, Katarzyna
Chańska, Weronika
This qualitative study investigated the approaches of 46 Polish sex therapists to treating low sexual desire and desire dis-crepancy in couples. Utilizing thematic analysis of in-depth interviews, the study revealed that therapists' interventions were signiﬁcantly shaped by their perspectives on the importance of partnered sex within relationships and the role of non-sexual motivations. Proposed solutions focused mainly on resolving psychological issues related to desire discrepancies, increas-ing one's desire for sex, and increasing the frequency of couple sex. Psychological and behavioral approaches were notably preferred over medical ways of regulating desire level. Certain theoretical concepts (e.g., responsive desire model and psy-chological diﬀerentiation theory) and normative assumptions about sexual autonomy were particularly popular. The study is the ﬁrst to identify therapists' actual ways of thinking about goals and methods of approaching diﬀerences in desire in couples and, as such, can contribute to better integration of theory and practice by identifying scientiﬁc concepts that are particularly useful or problematic for therapists.
