A quality therapeutic alliance, as a component of a successful psychotherapeutic process, provides a trusting relationship and effective collaboration between psychotherapist and client. This narrative review examines research that explores the relationship between psychophysiological measures of psychotherapy participants and their subjective perceptions of alliance quality. The results of 10 empirical articles, selected after a systematic literature search, are presented within several paragraphs. Each of the paragraphs analyzes and discusses studies using measures of the same human body system, followed by recommendations for further research in the conclusion. Thus, as a result of the analysis of the selected sources, the perceived quality of the alliance showed a positive relationship with the synchronization of brain activity indices, heart rate variability, heart rate, skin electrical activity, and breathing patterns between the participants in the process. However, the only study examined the contribution of participants' individual heart rate variability indices, which showed a relationship only for the client alliance. At the same time, the structure of interrelationships between alliance components and psychophysiological parameters differed depending on the number of participants: in dyadic, in family, in the presence of a supervisor or a second therapist. Recorded changes in physiological parameters may reflect both the patterns of participants' cognitive processes and their affective states - and together add to the understanding of the dynamic process of establishing and experiencing an alliance between participants in a psychotherapy session. Future research should unify the research design, continue to clarify the role of interpersonal synchronization in alliance experience, pay attention to differences in couples and group psychotherapy, and examine multiple psychophysiological variables simultaneously using a multilevel approach.

In video games, the participants are active agents who pursue various goals within gaming environments that increasingly resemble real life. As a result, video games are increasingly offering tools for neuroimaging studies aiming to elucidate the neural basis of human perceptual, cognitive, and emotional functions. Here, we review these studies. The first studies used computerized ...

This article investigates the phenomenon of enduring informal multi-age communities contributing to adolescent upbringing. The conditions for the establishment and the factors ensuring the endurance of such communities are identified through the example of three organizations: the “Nadezhda” unit, the Children and Youth Organization “Ostrov Sokrovishch” (Treasure Island), and the “Karavella” (Caravel) unit. As for ...

This work is devoted to a theoretical explanation of the Easterlin paradox, according to which long-term economic growth does not make average level of people's happiness increasing. By happiness, we mean the intensity of emotions people experience while comparing their new income with its expected value, or the target income with its original value. In the first case, ...

The development of musical abilities, including absolute pitch, musical memory, rhythm sense, and musicality, at a high degree is determined by a hereditary component (up to 68 %). The studies implementing a genome-wide linkage and association approach to musical aptitude have revealed more than 100 genetic loci. This spectrum is comprised of the genes encoding ...

Background:
Delay discounting refers to the tendency to choose sooner, smaller rewards over larger, later rewards. Many previous studies link this tendency positively to reward sensitivity, yet the specific mechanisms behind this association remain poorly understood. Reward sensitivity may relate to delay discounting through at least three possible pathways: increased sensitivity to reward size, increased sensitivity ...

Functional literacy—the ability to apply reading, mathematical, and scientific knowledge in authentic contexts as operationalized by the PISA framework—is a key predictor of educational attainment, labour-market outcomes, and economic growth. Despite extensive behavioral-genetic research on cognitive ability, the heritability of competency-based literacy measures remains largely unexamined, particularly outside Western populations. The present study addresses this ...

Introduction:
As cities continue to grow, access to natural environments is becoming more limited, contributing to increased stress levels in urban populations. Panoramic 360° videos provide a creative and scalable means of simulating natural environments, potentially reducing stress in city residents under controlled settings. Here, we examined whether short immersive experiences in different urban environments support ...

Letter recognition is assumed to involve several levels of analysis, including coarse tuning for category and novelty and more fine tuning for specific features, related to letter orientation. We employed an oddball fast periodic visual stimulation (FPVS) paradigm with magnetoencephalography (Elekta VectorView, 306 sensors) to study neural discrimination responses in the source space. Using contrasts ...

High-dimensional tabular data are common in biomedical and clinical research, yet conventional machine learning methods often struggle in such settings due to data scarcity, feature redundancy, and limited generalization. In this study, we systematically evaluate Synolitic Graph Neural Networks (SGNNs), a framework that transforms high-dimensional samples into sample-specific graphs by training ensembles of low-dimensional pairwise ...

Embodied and embedded cognition (EEC) theory proposes that language and cognitive development emerge from bodily interactions with the environment, yet empirical tests of this claim in clinical developmental populations remain rare. This mini-review synthesizes behavioral, electrophysiological, and structural neuroimaging evidence from children with serious early motor disorders—obstetric brachial plexus palsy and arthrogryposis multiplex congenita—which restrict ...

Previous studies have demonstrated that people focus on fewer specific features of natural environments compared to built environments. This may imply that neural activity stronger converge across individuals in green environments than in built environments, where people may focus very differently on diverse and often overloading urban stimulation. We hypothesized that the similarity of mental ...

Background. Empirical evidence highlights that psychotherapists and applied psychologists experience stress, anxiety, depression, emotional exhaustion, secondary traumatic stress, and other symptoms of somatic and psychological distress. Although studies suggest that volunteering can protect somatic and psychological well-being in the general population, these relationships have not been investigated in mental health professionals.
Objective. This study aimed to examine the ...

Interpersonal sensorimotor synchronisation is the coordination of movement between individuals that underlies
successful interpersonal communication. Previous research has indicated the potential involvement of oxytocin
(OXT) in the process of synchronisation.
We conducted 2 randomised controlled experiments to test the effect of synchronisation on salivary OXT
concentrations. In Experiment 1, 90 volunteers (65 women) performed either synchronous or asynchronous a ...
