PsychoLab RB<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Psychological Lab of Risk Behaviour \n Research and projects The research of the Department of Educational Psychology and Psychology of Health is mainly focused on psychological factors associated with risk behaviour of adolescents and college students and conducts national as well as international studies on these topics. Furthermore, the department also leads and participates in large evaluation studies (RCTs) regarding the efficiency and effectiveness of drug use prevention programs aimed at adolescents and college students.<\/p>\n Projects<\/strong><\/p>\n Current projects and studies<\/u><\/p>\n Project JUST-2019-AG-DRUGS (IMPRESA) Implementing Methamphetamine Prevention Strategies into Action<\/em> is focused on the selection and implementation of specific intervention packages aimed at preventing methamphetamine use in selected European cities. For more information click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n Project IMPACT-C19<\/em> (International and Multidimensional Perspectives on the Impact of Covid-19 across Generations) is led by prof. Radosveta Dimitrova, Stockholm university under the research initiative of the American Psychological Association (APA). The main aim of the project is to examine the impact, perceptions and experiences of Covid-19 among young people and established adults in a multidimensional and international perspective. We will participate with the group of adolescents.<\/p>\n The International Study of Emotional Intelligence<\/em> is led by a research team from Slovenia, the Faculty of Arts of the University of Ljubljana<\/a>. The study mainly examines the role of the emotional intelligence in the hedonic and eudaimonic well-being among university students in the context of different cultures. Thanks to our cooperation on the project, Slovak university students are also involved in the research, in addition to university students from Slovenia, Croatia, the Czech Republic, India, Russia and other countries.<\/p>\n The international study “Motivating \u2018buy in\u2019 to engage in social distancing”<\/em> under the leadership of Prof. Nicolete Legate from the prestigious University of Illinois Institute of Technology in the United States uses experimental design to focus on ways of communication and its impact on individuals’ behavior in restricting social contacts as a way to limit the spread of COVID-19.<\/p>\n The international study COVID-19 Multi-Country Student Well-being Study<\/em> has formed a consortium of 25 countries, coordinated by the University of Antwerpen in Belgium<\/a>, to examine the impact of the new coronavirus and COVID-19 pandemic on university students – on their lives, studies and mental health. More information will be available soon.<\/p>\n The International Sex Survey<\/em> (ISS) under the leadership of the Department of Psychology at the Canadian University of Montreal, covering 45 countries from all over the world, aims to: (1) validate publicly available scales that can reliably assess different sexual behaviors that may be used in future research and practice, (2) examine risk and protective factors contributing to problematic and non-problematic sexual behaviors (with special attention to compulsive behaviors and problematic pornography use), and (3) identify populations being at risk of developing problematic sexual behaviors that may be targeted in preventions and interventions. All original information about the survey is available here<\/a>. The coordinators for the Slovak part of the research are Mgr. Ondrej Kalina, PhD. (ondrej.kalina@upjs.sk) and Prof. PhDr. Olga Orosova, CSc.

PhDr. O\u013ega Orosov\u00e1, CSc.\u2013 Principal investigator)<\/a><\/p>\n The SLiCE study<\/a> (Students Life Cohort in Europe) is an international longitudinal study concerned with various aspects of health and healthy behaviour of college students carried out by universities in 13 European countries. The aim of the study is to analyse the health and health-related behaviour as well as the life perspectives of college students and address the changes in these categories during the course of their studies. The study also aims to compare the health and health-related behaviour of university students of individual European countries and to identify the needs for intervention programs, which might improve the health of the students. The Executive Board of the study: Rafael Mikolajczyk, M.D. (DE), Prof. PhDr. O\u013ega Orosov\u00e1 CSc. (SK), Prof. Guido Van Hal (BE).<\/p>\n The SLiCE 2 study<\/a> is a follow-up to the SLiCE study<\/a>. The study is trying to determine the life perspectives and emigration intensions of college students during their studies. The study is carried out in Czech Republic, Hungary, Lithuania, Belgium, Germany, Great Britain and Ukraine.<\/p>\n UNPLUGGED – School program of universal prevention among students<\/a> (supported by Ministry of Education of the Slovak republic \u2013 APVV-0253-11, APVV-15-0662 and VEGA 1\/0623\/17) is an interactive program based on the model of complex influence of social environment, which combines information-spreading strategies and life skill development strategies with raising awareness about possible impact of social influence on substance use among adolescents. The program was implemented in twelve European countries. In the school year 2017\/2018, more than 700 pupils of 7th<\/sup> grade from 24 selected schools from all over Slovakia were involved in the project to examine the effectiveness of the \u201cUnplugged\u201d program. For further information click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n The APVV-15-0662<\/a> project provided a framework for establishing a formal cooperation with Slovak primary schools in the field of research and implementation of the UNPLUGGED prevention program. The cooperation between the UPJ\u0160 Faculty of Arts and 25 Slovak primary schools within the UNPLUGGED prevention program was formally confirmed by issuing certificates providing the primary schools with a status of a partner school.<\/p>\n Past projects<\/u><\/p>\n VEGA 1\/0623\/17 (2017-2019) An analysis of social and personal characteristics of adolescents in relation to indicators of risk behaviour in the context of family processes.
