The impact of teamwork on the motivation process and academic involvement of students
(CEP USM, 2024) Momanu, Mirela-Claudia; Potâng, Angela
This article presents the results of a quantitative study conducted to highlight the importance of teamwork in the academic environment, particularly in the current context defined by the transition to new educational formats because of the pandemic and post-pandemic period. Amid these changes, achieving and maintaining the same level of motivation, collaboration, and academic engagement, essential for successful learning environments, has become challenging and difficult. The analysis of preferred working methods of students revealed that teamwork has a favorable impact on increasing intrinsic motivation for knowledge and experiencing stimulation, on extrinsic motivation for identification and regulation, as well as on academic engagement of students. We believe that the findings of this research have significant practical value for the educational process, enabling educators to identify teaching and assessment methods based on the premise that teamwork significantly contributes to enhancing the motivation process and academic engagement behavior of the students.
Psychoanalytic counseling in working with inmates: syntheses of international studies
(CEP USM, 2024) Gavrilaș, Gabriela Loredana
The article addresses the topic of the implementation of psychoanalytic counseling in the prison environment, analyzing several established studies in the field. The literature review reveals that psychoanalytic counseling requires modifications to meet the distinct needs of prisoners, given the influence of the prison environment on the therapeutic dynamics and the psycho-emotional characteristics of the beneficiaries. From a therapeutic perspective, research in the field highlights the importance of empathy and the assurance of a safe communication environment, thus making it possible to explore the deep emotions of the beneficiaries. Also, the consideration of cultural factors in therapy is crucial to improve the understanding of psychological and social factors affecting inmates’ behavior. In this study, we emphasize that psychoanalytic interventions in the prison context can attenuate deviant behaviors and assist in social reintegration, when individualized approaches are developed and implemented.

The impact of socially prescribed perfectionism on professional burnout with consideration of gender differences: a study among IT specialists in Moldova
(CEP USM, 2024) Muntean, Irina
This article examines the relationship between socially prescribed perfectionism and professional burnout among IT specialists in Moldova, with a focus on analyzing gender differences in this correlation. The study is based on data collected using standardized surveys, including the Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale by Hewitt and Flett and the Burnout Assessment Tool (BAT). The results confirm the hypothesis that socially prescribed perfectionism significantly correlates with the level of professional burnout. Furthermore, it was found that gender differences influence this relationship, with men showing higher correlation rates between perfectionism and burnout. The article discusses both theoretical and practical aspects of the results, highlighting the need to consider gender differences when developing corporate programs aimed at reducing stress and preventing professional burnout. Recommendations are provided for HR departments of IT companies, emphasizing the importance of creating tailored support programs to reduce perfectionistic expectations and enhance employees’ psychological well-being.
The impact of emotional intelligence and socio-demographic factors on the coping mechanisms used by adolescents
(CEP USM, 2024) Pleșea, Andreea-Cristina
The main objectives of this study were to investigate the relationship between the emotional intelligence of adolescents and the coping strategies used by them, as well as to determine the socio-demographic factors that have an impact on these coping mechanisms. The research sample included a number of 220 teenagers between the ages of 14 and 17, of which 100 from the urban environment, and 120 from the rural environment. The „Diagnosis of emotional intelligence” test developed by N. Hall, the Friedman Maturity Scale and the Cognitive-Emotional Coping Questionnaire CERQ were used as research tools. The main results conclude that adolescents with a high level of emotional intelligence especially use adaptive coping mechanisms - refocusing on planning, positive reassessment, positive refocusing and putting events into perspective and are less likely to use maladaptive coping mechanisms - self-blame, catastrophizing, rumination and blaming others. It was also found that socio-demographic factors influence differently the use of cognitive-emotional coping mechanisms.
