“…A study by D.A. Maran, S. Bernardelli, and A. Varetto showed that women are more prone to reporting mobbing than men; the results of these authors also confirm that women more often report that they are the actual victims of mobbing, while men consider mobbing behavior to be accidental (Tereszko and Dudek, 2017;Acquadro Maran, Bernardelli and Varetto, 2018;Acquadro Maran et al, 2019). Another reason man is less likely to be victim of mobbing is that a female victim usually receives more compassion from society than a man (Mulder, Bos, Pouwelse, and van Dam, 2017).…”

Purpose: The main purpose of this paper is to determine the scale of mobbing in banks, in particular we seek to investigate who is the most frequently a mobber and who is most often affected by mobbing. Approach/Methodology/Design: English and Polish literature from EBSCO, ProQuest, and Emerald databases were used to write the article. The methods that were used for the study were classification trees, the Mann-Whitney test, and descriptive statistics. Findings: This paper presents the results of an empirical study of bank employees in Poland and Russia. The following hypotheses were adopted: 1. Superiors are more likely to be perpetrators of mobbing than employees at the same organizational structure level. 2. Women more often than men report that they are victims of mobbing. Both hypotheses were disconfirmed in the research. Indeed, it turned out that employees at a similar level were more likely to be guilty of mobbing and that men were more often victims of mobbing. Practical Implications: The phenomenon of mobbing is poorly understood, especially in banks. We managed to identify the groups most exposed to mobbing. In these groups, antimobbing prevention should be implemented first. Originality/Value: Banks are very reluctant to undertake any research cooperation. The obtained results shed new light on who is being mobbed in general and who is being mobbed in financial institutions. The contribution of this paper is also to propose a mobbing index, which takes into account not only the frequency of mobbing but also its quality aspects, i.e., the various types of mobbing.

“…The same is true of sex differences. Some systematic reviews suggest that 60% of people with schizophrenia are men [48,49]. The average incidence rate for men compared to women is 1.42%.…”

“…Thus, the variances associated with these variables were not removed. It is worth emphasising, however, that some studies do not confirm sex disparities among patients with schizophrenia [47,48]. Therefore, further research is necessary to better understand the mechanisms -both biological and social -leading to a statistically significantly earlier diagnosis of schizophrenia in men and gensexder differences in the manifestation of psychopathological symptoms in this group of patients [47].…”

Aim of the studyThe aim of the study is to find out whether there is a relationship between the severity of alexithymia and the visual perception of facial expressions of emotions among people suffering from schizophrenia.Subject or material and methods41 people suffering from schizophrenia and 41 healthy people participated in the study. In the first stage, the subjects completed the Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20) questionnaire. The second stage was based on eye-tracking measurements made during a computer experiment of recognising facial expressions.ResultsPeople with schizophrenia showed significantly higher intensity of alexithymia than healthy people. In the group of patients with schizophrenia, a negative correlation between alexithymia and the length of saccades on the nose was found.DiscussionIn the group of people with schizophrenia, alexithymia is associated with less intensive exploration of the nasal area. A wrinkled nose is an important area, first of all, in the manifestation of negative emotions, in recognition of which the sick people make the most mistakes.ConclusionsProblems with recognising emotions in people suffering from schizophrenia are associated with neuronal dysfunction and abnormalities in the eye movement. These factors disrupt the early stages of sensory processing. The relationship of alexithymia with the visual perception of patients with schizophrenia suggests that top-down processes may also contribute to the development of these deficits.

“…Rozpoznaniem charakterystycznym i dodatkowo występującym w tej grupie, poza diagnozą epizodu depresyjnego lub zaburzeń depresyjnych nawracających jest depresja poporodowa oraz depresja w okresie menopauzy. Dodatkowo wykazano związek częstszego występowania zaburzeń nastroju u pacjentek z przedmiesiączkowymi zaburzeniami dysforycznymi [15]. Najbardziej prawdopodobny okres wystąpienia pierwszego epizodu depresji ma miejsce od okresu dojrzewania do około 45. roku życia.…”

Gender differences in mental disorders

Abstract: Według najnowszych danych Głównego Urzędu Statystycznego (GUS) z 2016 r. śred-nia długość życia mężczyzn w populacji polskiej wynosi 73,9 roku, zaś u kobiet 81,9 roku (GUS 2017). Już te dane sugerują znamienne różnice w zdrowiu obojga płci. Mimo to przez więk
