In the article we interpret discrete and continuous message as interrupted and constant, limited and continual text, which has specific features and a number of differences between traditional (one-dimensional) text and hypertext (multidimensional). The purpose of this study is to define the concept of “hypertext”, consideration of its characteristics and features of the structure, similarities and differences with the traditional text, including the message in the media and communication. To achieve the goal of the study, we used a number of methods typical of journalism. Empirical analysis enabled a generalized description of the subject of study, which allowed to know it as a phenomenon. With the help of generalization the characteristic and specific regularities and principles of hypertext were studied. The system method is used to identify the dependence of each element of hypertext on its place in the text system as a whole. The retrospective method helped to understand the preconditions for the emergence of hypertext, to trace the dynamics of its development. General scientific methods (analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction) made it possible to formulate the conclusions of the study. Thanks to hypertext and the hypertext systems, the concept of virtual reality has gained tangible meaning. In hypertext space, virtuality organically complements reality. The state of virtuality, in this case, becomes the concept of hyperreality, and all this merges into a single whole in the space of computer text. Due to its volume and multidimensionality, hypertext can arouse scientific interest as an interdisciplinary discipline. In today’s world, the phenomenon of hypertext has been the subject of numerous discussions, conferences and research in the field of social communications, linguistics and psychology. Today, a significant number of organizations conduct large-scale research based on the concepts of hypertext associations and associative navigation.

This study analyzes the differences between the hedonic and eudaimonic approach on quality oflife that his subjective aspect manifested itself in happiness and good well-being evaluated fromthe perspective of philosophy. Tradition of hedonic approach on quality of life as happiness andwell-being can be referred to philosophers like Aristippos, Epicuros, Locke, Hobbes, andBentham. Hedonist philosopher who has perspective generally understand happiness and wellbeing as positive emotional statement that follows satisfaction. Then experience a sense of funand enjoyment is seen as happiness/well being. Eudaimonic approach, which is rooted in theconcept of eudaimonia (happiness) of Aristotle, was found to live a life of contemplation andvirtue in line with the true nature of a person. This approach emphasizes the primacy of justice,hospitality, courage, and recommends that developing one's potential to achieve meaningfulobjectives for yourself and others is a sign of good living. By the method of library research andthe analytic theory, the author underline that the first, eudaimonic and hedonic approach onhappiness and well-being in psychology today has a close relationship with the philosophicalconcept of the hedonia and eudaimonia. Secondly, there is a difference between hedonia andeudaimonia, although there is also a link between the two. Thirdly, though there are differencesbetween the hedonic and eudaimonic approach, but both approaches are an importantdimension to understanding happiness and well-being in a comprehensive manner.

During John Wooden’s final coaching season, two psychologists systematically recorded his specific teaching acts during UCLA basketball practices. Results were presented in a 1976 Psychology Today article, which garnered little media or public attention. At the time, Coach Wooden never responded to three requests for comments—twice to prepublication manuscripts and once to the published version. This memoir recounts the backstory of the study and reports some unanticipated and surprising consequences 25 years later. First, Coach Wooden handed out photocopies of the article, and second, a review of research indicated that the 1976 study was one of the earliest systematic studies of coaching.

The paper was intended to explore the correlation between emotion and feeling. It has involved two phenomena referring to health. Positive emotions experienced by humans are not born spontaneously. Various good and pleasant things make us experience positive emotions. Those feelings make us enjoy life's moments. As reported by Psychology Today, feeling positive emotions makes us healthier physically and mentally. Feeling it with others will also foster trust and compassion. Positive emotions will also keep people from stress. happy feelings are the emotions most often talked about and known. However, there are a variety of other positive emotions that are nuances of feeling happy. In 2009, psychologist Barbara Frederickson in her book Positivity identified 10 other positive emotions that are universally felt by humans in addition to feeling happy.
