In space experiment CONTENT, content-analysis was used to study speech communication between cosmonauts onboard the International space station (ISS) and the Mission control center (MCC) in different mission periods in context of time perception, chronodeficit and work schedule. It was stated that the reaction to chronodeficit affected crew communication with MCC consistently though variously depending on an individual communication style. Analysis of the frequency of crew comments in the Use-of-Time category enables to define the most challenging periods of psychological adaptation for cosmonauts with particular communication styles.

Background: Breast Cancer can be a traumatic and stressful experience for women but there are wide-ranging differences in the ways in which women respond and adapt to breast cancer. Purpose: to examines which sociodemographic, disease-related, and psychosocial factors predict psychological adaptation to breast cancer. Method: The database used to identify suitable articles obtained from Scopus, Pubmed, CINAHL and Science Direct was limited from 2011-2019, English, and fulltext articles. The literature review used the keywords “psychological, adaptation, breast cancer”. In searching articles used “AND”. Results: 31 articles met the inclusion criteria. Consistent sociodemographic and disease-related variables predictors of adaptation were income, fatigue, cancer stage, and physical functioning. Psychosocial factors, particularly optimism and trait-anxiety, as well as perceived social support, coping strategies, and initial levels of psychological functioning were found to be predictive of later depressive and anxiety symptoms, psychological distress and quality of life for women with breast cancer, in predictable ways. Conclusion: The majority of studies showed a significant relationship between psychosocial factors and psychological adaptation. These results pount to specific sociodemographic, disease-related, and psychosocial factors that can help to identify women at the time of diagnosis who are at risk for long-term psychological challenges so they can be reffered for psychological support that targets their specific needs and can improve their quality of life and mood, and decrease indicators of anxiety, depression and psychological distress.

Abstract. The goal of this review is to present the results of research on the influence of lymphoma on patients’ emotional status and cognitive functioning. A literature search was conducted to identify articles in English that investigated short- and long-term psychological outcomes of lymphoma and lymphoma treatment. Studies published prior to July 2016 were located by an electronic search using relevant databases such as ScienceDirect and PubMed. The search terms used included both medical subject headings and keywords such as “Hodgkin lymphoma,” “non-Hodgkin lymphoma,” “therapy,” “treatment,” “malignant,” “psychology,” “cognitive function,” “emotion,” “psychological adaptation,” “depression,” and “anxiety.” The retrieved publications were independently evaluated by two reviewers. Articles were selected based on the applicable titles and abstracts. The lists of eligible publications were compared and disagreements were resolved by discussion. Of the 1,418 articles identified in the search, we chose 39 publications, which in our opinion could be interesting or useful for psychologists. Studies show that lymphoma and its treatment lead to severe distress. Thirty-six percent of patients manifest symptoms of anxiety and depression, which are most often associated with the so-called “B-symptoms,” which mark poor prognosis or with side effects of chemotherapy such as nausea or vomiting. Reports also indicate that lymphoma patients may develop mild to severe cognitive decline. Its manifestations may range from benign problems with attention, thinking, and memory to severe cognitive impairment, that is, subcortical dementia. The etiology of intellectual deterioration in lymphoma has not been well described yet, but it may be related to the disease process or to the treatment. Additionally, literature demonstrates that lymphoma may lead to adverse changes in patient’s professional life such as resignation or early retirement.

The article presents the results of an empirical study of the psychological well-being of the staff of the penal system, directly interacting with convicts in the process of official activity. The hypothesis of the study was made by the assumption that long-term contact with an aggressive contingent towards the staff of the special contingent is one of the main factors affecting their psychological well-being. Autonomy of personality, ability to control the environment, tendencies to personal growth, the presence of clear goals in life and self-acceptance are considered as the main personal structures that ensure the maintenance of psychological well-being. The main indicator of the psychological wellbeing of the staff of the penal system was the level of their socio-psychological adaptation. The attributes of the personality necessary for strengthening this state in persons directly interacting with convicts during the professional activities considered the fullness and altruistic orientation of their life values. An analysis of the data obtained has led to the conclusion that employees who have long-term contact with convicts are more in need of assistance in maintaining and strengthening psychological well-being. The main direction of work of a psychologist with them should be the spiritual and moral education of the individual.

Potential Use

Over 48,000 people died by suicide in 2018 in the United States, and more than 25 times that number attempted suicide. Research on suicide has focused much more on risk factors and adverse outcomes than on protective factors and more benign trajectories. Consequently, little is known regarding good long-term psychological adaptation in those who attempt suicide and survive. In this call for research, we argue for the need to investigate the phenomenon of long-term psychological well-being after suicide attempts, and we explain how this effort complements traditional risk research by (a) providing a more comprehensive understanding of the sequelae of suicide attempts, (b) identifying protective factors for potential use in interventions and prevention, and (c) contributing to knowledge and public education that reduces the stigma associated with suicide-related behaviors.

The Impact

Background: Marital dissolution is known to be among the most stressful life events with long-reaching negative consequences on individuals' lives. A limitation in research to date is that most studies have focused on the impact of marital disruption on well-being outcomes in younger adults. Furthermore, although population-based studies on divorce document a broad range of negative effects, more fine-grained analyses reveal a large heterogeneity in people's adjustment, which is still not well understood. Objective: The aim was to explore trajectories of psychological adaptation to marital breakup after a long-term marriage, and to examine variables accounting for recovery or chronicity in terms of intrapersonal resources (personality, trait resilience, and personal growth), relationship variables (satisfaction with ex-relationship, length of marriage, and time since divorce), and sociodemographic variables (age, gender, and financial situation). Methods: Latent transition analysis is used to examine the course of psychological adaptation (i.e., depressive symptoms, life satisfaction, hopelessness, mourning, and subjective health) to divorce over 2 years among 5 profiles of 308 divorcees (mean age: 55.6 years; average duration of former marriage: 23.62 years). We present two larger groups of individuals, one of which adapted very well (‘resilients', 29%) and the other quite well (‘average copers', 49%), as well as three groups with major difficulties (‘vulnerables', 6%; ‘malcontents', 12%, and ‘resigned', 4%). In a second step, the differences between transition patterns were explored on the basis of the distal variables (i.e., intrapersonal resources, relationship variables, and sociodemographics). Results: Although the probability of upward changes was higher for those individuals with lower adaptation at time point 1, only a small number of individuals made an upward change from the maladapted to the well-adapted groups throughout the 2 years. The groups of copers and resilients remained stable in their psychological adaptation. The most consistent results related to upward changes were intrapersonal resources, namely the NEO personality traits and trait resilience. Conclusion: The majority of individuals divorcing after a long-term marriage adapt successfully over time. Adaptation trajectories depend primarily on intrapersonal resources. However, a minority of divorcees exhibit enduring difficulties. Knowledge about the diversity of these trajectories of vulnerability could be of great help for designing psychological interventions to better tackle this critical life event.
