This article aims at presenting some results of a research whose overall objective was to determine if the parents' marital status affects children in the use of coping strategies. We have used The Children's Coping Questionnaire developed by Dr. Anne E. Fedorowicz. The resulting data indicates that at general level, distraction and avoidance strategies used by children vary according to the parents' marital status. Recorded scores for active coping strategies and seeking support revealed significant differences according to the gender affiliation of subjects. We concluded that it appropriate, nationwide, to implement programs of psychological intervention for children in vulnerable situations, programs that might lead to diversification of coping strategies offering them alternatives to face life's challenges.
Creativity, a matter of contemporary importance, represents one of the issues approached by the social and human sciences due to its ability to permeate various fields, transcending the borders of psychology. The article aims to report the results of this study, whose main objective is the study of the development of creativity in preschoolers, in the context of the family. The specific objectives are: validating an instrument to measure parenting style, identifying a correlation between the creativity index and the parents' attitude towards children, and highlighting the influence of the parenting style on children's creativity levels.
Undoubtedly, the outbreak of COVID-19 still represents an overanxious event for both society and population. The fear of getting infected is ubiquitous in the time of the pandemic. The population presented worrying thoughts related to the fact that the health care system was not able to provide enough services during the COVID-19 pandemic. The number of the hospital beds and ventilators was insufficient in order to ensure enough care, considering the increased number of COVID-19 cases that were admitted to the hospitals. Furthermore, people were fearful about the possibility of the global economy becoming decimated. The fright and also the feelings of anxiety related to the COVID-19 pandemic can become overpowering and create negative psychological states. In addition, mental health can be affected and influenced during outbreaks of infectious diseases and can be related to the misconception of symptoms, for example perception related phenomenon and corporal modifications. The population that could experiment these feelings, could instantly relate them to the coronavirus infection and express furthermore unpleasant sensations, in connection to more expressed anxiety and fear. Particularly affected were the healthcare workers of the medical system, who were the main combatants in this pandemic. The neuropsychological problems were difficult to avoid by the general population and this became even more difficult to be dealt with by the medical personnel.

In Europe, individualist societies, in which people more highly value independence, have fewer people who are lonely. Yet these societies also have more people who live alone, a strong determinant of loneliness. Evidence suggests that some unrecognized societal-level resources or characteristics can explain this.We uncover multiple pathways toward a lower degree of loneliness among European societies using an ideal method for this purpose, fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis. Using data from the 2014 wave of the European Social Survey and other sources, we analyzed loneliness outcomes among 26 European societies. Our findings suggest two necessary conditions for a low degree of loneliness: high internet access and high association participation. Further, three pathways are sufficient for achieving less loneliness at the societal level. Most societies that have less loneliness follow both the welfare support and cultural support pathways. The third path, commercial provision, is mutually exclusive with welfare support because the former requires a weak welfare state.The surest policy for building societies that have lower rates of loneliness includes the expansion of internet accessibility, the fostering of civil society through association participation and volunteering, and a welfare state that protects potentially vulnerable populations while funding opportunities for social interaction. This article further contributes methodologically by demonstrating “configurational robustness testing,” a more comprehensive means to implement current best practices for fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis robustness testing.
