The article discusses the features of the manifestation of anxiety in university students and provides the main mechanisms for the correction of anxiety using art therapy. In the system of modern scientific knowledge, the phenomenon of anxiety and its impact on human development and its adaptation to the environment is one of the main issues of biology, medicine, pedagogy, and psychology. The article emphasizes the features of personality formation in adolescence, describes the main psychological mechanisms of the development of the emotional sphere. An analysis of the psychological and pedagogical literature on the use of the art therapy method as a means of correcting adolescents' anxiety levels has been performed. The results of studying the peculiarities of anxiety in university students are demonstrated. Left-handed children were found to be more anxious than right-handed. Thus, the article presents the results of a study that was carried out using a complex of appropriate psychodiagnostic techniques. The students of higher educational institutions took part in it. The article identifies the level of anxiety in the group and major differences among the subjects. It is revealed that the dynamics of the psychoemotional state is affected by the peculiarity of the left and right hemisphere asymmetries. However, with hereditary left-handedness, left-handed people are more neurotic, unlike right-handed people. It was confirmed that Art therapy, as a method of psychological and pedagogical correction, is the most effective means of psychocorrectional influence on the emotional sphere of a person. It has been determined that art therapy helps a person solve internal conflicts, deal with strong emotions, and helps to realize his feelings.

Following some leads from casual observations, two studies of left-handedness among architects and architecture students confirmed that: (1) both groups tend to be more left-handed than would be “normally” expected; (2) all the left-handed students followed complex directions about drawing a spatial maze perfectly whereas over 50% of right-handed students erred. Perhaps the data relate to recent speculations about right-hemisphere dominance being associated with both left-handedness and greater spatial competence. How the generalization of these findings and similar questions relate to such study are for future research.

Reading difficulties is one of the most problems that face students when they enter universities. The main purpose of this study was to measure the reading basis of Dyslexia among undergraduate university students. The researchers performed a quantitative research method, also the non-random purposive sampling was used to collect data. The study was conducted with the participation of 414 undergraduate university students which comprising 310 males (74.88 %) and 104 (25.12%) females. After following all psychometric steps (24) (Five- Likert- Scale) for reading basis of Dyslexia was developed. The T. Test result showed a very high level of dyslexia among the participants. Moreover, males show a higher level of dyslexia than females. By using regression, this research found male participants are more dyslexics than female participants. However, this research showed that left handed and right handed has no effect on dyslexia. Also, by using one-way ANOVA, the results indicated that participants who have brain injury show a higher risk of dyslexia. Participants with left hemisphere injury showed a higher level of dyslexia compares to the participants with having an injury in the right hemisphere. In conclusion, some recommendations are presented educational sectors.

The COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic required changes to be made, especially in formal education processes. In order for the students to stay safe and healthy, many educational institutions switched to the distance learning method for the rest of the semester and continued their education without any intermission. Due to this switch, there has been a rise in the usage of learning management systems, and as a result, students started to encounter technical problems, especially during the exam periods, or they simply wanted to obtain more information about academic or administrative issues. This study used frequency and percentage analysis methods and examined the support request tickets opened up by students during distance education. Resolving the encountered problems quickly and effectively is very important in order to protect the motivation of the learners and ensure their successes. It was seen in the study that the majority of the problems reported by the students were related to internet connection or to the problems occurred during exams. This study aimed to share experiences with the researchers and technical and administrative staff working in this field and to contribute to the current distance learning literature.

The current study was aimed to examine the impact of psychological adjustment / maladjustment on the academic performance of Russian university students. Previous studies have shown that academic performance is closely related to alienation from study, study engagement, academic motivation, perceived stress, academic control, and boredom proneness. Some researchers also have suggested that adolescent apathy may be the risk factor for academic failure among university students. In turn, the American psychologist R. Handelman defined adolescent apathy as a specific state of lack of goal-setting, energy and interest, indifference to changes and experience of difficulties in making decisions in young adults [27]. In September 2019, 103 students (73 females and 30 males) aged 16 to 21 years from several Moscow universities filled out instruments assessing adolescent apathy, alienation from study, study engagement, academic motivation, perceived stress, academic control, and boredom proneness. The study was conducted at seminars in psychological disciplines. All study participants received bonus points in these disciplines. In January 2019, based on the results of the examination session, an average score was calculated for each study participant. This score became a criterion for academic performance of university students. There were no statistically significant age and gender differences in the scores of psychological adjustment / maladjustment. The one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) revealed that adolescent apathy was the single indicator that affects the academic performance of university students. Thus, the higher scores of adolescent apathy university students showed at the beginning of the academic year, the lower the average scores they received for the first exam session. Based on these data, it was concluded that adolescent apathy is a risk factor for academic failure and can serve as a target for preventive and interventional measures related to academic failure among Russian university students. Currently, in foreign practice, programs and recommendations are being developed and implemented for teachers of higher educational institutions who are faced with the adolescent apathy outcomes. Perhaps this study, which has proved the importance of adolescent apathy in the context of academic failure among university students, will be the first step towards the development and implementation of similar programs and recommendations for Russian educational institutions.

The One

The story of Ehud, and his assassination of the Moabite King Eglon (Judges 3: 12–30), continues to entertain readers and hearers alike. The story also perplexes, largely on moral grounds. This paper utilises the sociology of Erving Goffman and insights from disability studies to re-tell the story of Ehud as someone who is doubly stigmatised. That is, Ehud not only carriers the stigma of left-handedness but is also disabled; moreover, the Moabite King is also disabled/immobile because of his obesity. I take the biblical text as conveying that Ehud is left-handed by necessity given the impairment in his right hand/arm. Adopting a social model of disability, I apply Goffman’s account of the management of spoiled identity developed in his book Stigma (1963) to explore how the narrative depicts various dimensions of social stigma and Ehud’s moral career as he attempts to manage his spoiled identity and the degrees of societal acceptance and rejection he experiences in different contexts. The key arguments of Goffman are summarised before I apply central concepts from Goffman to the biblical story. Concepts include “moral career,” the distinction between social, personal and ego (self-) identity, and the key distinction between a person with a stigma being discredited (because the impairment is obvious and seen by all), on the one hand, or bearing a stigma that is discreditable (that is, it would discredit them if found out), on the other.

This paper reports a case of surgical removal of a left-hemisphere arteriovenous malformation (AVM) in a left-handed adult without subsequent speech or language deficit. Preoperative intracarotid amobarbital testing indicated right-hemisphere language dominance. Our patient demonstrated no language involvement prior to or following surgery. We speculate the congenital nature of a left-hemisphere AVM may dictate right-hemisphere language dominance, thereby explaining the lack of residuals following removal of AVMs in left-hemisphere speech and motor areas.

Objective To investigate somatosensory deficits in the ipsilesional wrist and hand in chronic stroke patients and correlate these deficits with contralesional sensorimotor dysfunctions, functional testing, laterality and handedness.Methods Fifty subjects (twenty-two healthy volunteers and twenty-eight stroke patients) underwent evaluation with Semmes-Weinstein monofilaments, the sensory and motor Fugl-Meyer Assessment, the Nottingham Sensory Assessment in both wrists and hands and functional tests.Results Twenty-five patients had sensory changes in the wrist and hand contralateral to the stroke, and eighteen patients (64%) had sensory deficits in the ipsilesional wrist and hand. The most significant ipsilesional sensory loss was observed in the left-handed patients. We found that the patients with brain damage in the right hemisphere had better scores for ipsilesional tactile sensation.Conclusions A reduction in ipsilesional conscious proprioception, tactile or thermal sensation was found in stroke subjects. Right hemisphere damage and right-handed subjects had better scores in ipsilesional tactile sensation.
