“…The assumption that women, who have a higher share of domestic work compared to men, report lower values of happiness has been confirmed. It can be stated that large gender differences between men and women within one country causes a lower level of happiness in women [1,[93][94][95][96]. From this point of view, the higher achieved happiness of women in the Czech Republic may mean a shift in Czech society towards Hofstede's feminist society.…”

Happiness in Czechia during the COVID-19 Pandemic

2021

The unprecedented growth of prosperity in developed countries, including the countries of Central and Eastern Europe, interrupted by the economic crisis in 2008–2009, came to a halt at the beginning of 2020. This was due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 respiratory disease pandemic, for which no cure was known in June 2020. The response of governments in the form of declaring a state of emergency and closing national and regional borders for several months had serious economic and, above all, psychological consequences. Anxiety, depression, and possibly suicides were expected to increase. In this paper, we focused on the experience of happiness, understood as positive emotion, expressing the highest degree of well-being. The conceptualization of happiness is based on the analysis of six indicators. The aim of the paper was to explore the experience of happiness during the COVID-19 pandemic in Czechia. Two hypotheses were formulated in terms of the expected effects of this pandemic on the experience of happiness. Measuring happiness in one region of the Czechia on a scale of 0–10 using both face-to-face methods and social networks yielded different results from those expected.

“…Similarly, students can also contribute to the formation of their own sustainable education [95], opportunities for improving learning [96], personal progress in technical skills [97], or skills in detecting manipulative elements of the media [89,98] under the conditions of the pandemic. In addition, an honest individual approach (for example through online personal interviews) can also raise necessary questions from the student about his/her own formation of his/her personal attitudes in relation to risky behaviors in the school environment [99], or even social radicalism and social fundamentalism [100]-including answers to complex questions such as the importance attributed by students to human authenticity [101], human roles and responsibilities [102], the quality of human life [103], or the quality of the environment [104], as well as to questions about the importance of human thinking and decision making [105] or about the meaning of one's own beliefs [106,107].…”

In the context of considerations on the potential attenuation of the negative consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic with the use of credible social media in online education during a pandemic, the subject of our own research was the fulfillment of two goals. The main research goals were to identify, categorize, and evaluate the possibilities of using social media in online education during the pandemic from the perspective of selected teachers and students from secondary schools in Slovakia. The research methods of the first phase (qualitative) of the research involved brainstorming among nine secondary school teachers. The second research phase (quantitative) used a questionnaire, which was completed by 102 high school students from all over Slovakia. The collection of both quantitative and qualitative data was used in this research. The research results revealed the most representative opinions of teachers on the current and real possibilities of engaging credible social media in online education and the views of high school students on their desired use and involvement of social media in online education. The intersection of the two findings presents a picture of the possibilities of using credible social media in online education, which can help maintain students’ interest in online education during a pandemic. Based on these findings, it can be stated that the opinions identified in the research group of teachers correspond to a large extent with the desired use of social media in education from the perspective of students. In addition, however, students would welcome more opportunities to use and engage social media in today’s online education. The result of this research is an analysis of social media patterns applied to online education, which are of greater interest to students and could act as elements for reducing the negative consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic, i.e., six forms of online education and 24 educational activities that could contribute, inter alia, to mitigating the different negative effects of the pandemic among youth generation. The findings also benefit from the presentation of many specific options and recommendations for the use of social media in online education during a pandemic.

“…Dysfunctions of the emotional regulatory system in affective disorders, such as depression [39] or mania, result from injured relationship interactions during the underlying depressive conflict [40,41]. Research into the adult population [42] points to a connection between perfectionism, burnout, irrational beliefs [43], and the neurotic form of altruism, which is one of the forms of pathological management of fundamental depressive conflict.…”

This study seeks to explain the differences in the perception of social and pastoral service after the first and second wave pandemic in 2020 among the inhabitants of two neighbouring states, both parts of the former unified Czechoslovakia. Our research study compares subjective perception, needs, and participation among inhabitants of eastern Slovakia and north-western Czech Republic in social and pastoral service during the COVID-19 pandemic. The research sample consisted of a healthy population from the Czech Republic (n = 496) and Slovakia (n = 484) over 16 years of age, of which 63% (n = 617) were women and 37% (n = 363) men. The level of education ranged from primary to postgraduate. The research sample consisted of 623 (63.6%) participants with religious affiliation and 357 (36.4%) without religion. The level of perception, needs, and participation of the participants in social and pastoral service was obtained based on a non-standardised questionnaire. The results of our study confirmed several differences in the areas studied.
