Immunity to Chaos: How Personal Resources Help Us Cope with the Challenges of a Turbulent World
International conflicts, crises and digital overload—the modern world puts our minds to the test every day. Traditional psychology often focuses on the consequences: anxiety, depression, and psychosomatic disorders. But what if we looked at the problem differently—through the lens of the resources that prevent us from breaking down? Psychological immunity is precisely this set of resources. Alena Zolotareva and her group, Psychological Immunity as a Resource for Positive Functioning, are developing an integrative model of this phenomenon, adapting diagnostic tools and preparing for large-scale empirical research. Why do psychologists need to collaborate with medical professionals, and how could their research transform preventive care in clinics and corporations?

How to Assess Students Knowledge in the Age of AI
A researcher at HSE University has proposed a flowchart to help lecturers decide how to assess students who use artificial intelligence. It shows where the use of AI should be restricted and where it can be incorporated into the learning process. The article has been published in IT Professional.

‘Balkan Hospitality Opens Doors: Studying Dialects on the Verge of Extinction
You cannot study spoken dialects from books. Instead, you need to go to a village, seek out its elders, and earn the trust of local residents before you can record hours of spontaneous stories. This is how Natalia Muravleva, Associate Professor at the Faculty of Humanities, conducts her research. Her internship in Serbia continued her long-standing study of dialects spoken by Macedonian settlers. In this interview, she discusses how diaspora cultural centres help researchers reach informants, why native speakers need to be interviewed only in their own language (otherwise, as she puts it, they may 'break'), and how a single field season helped her finalise her monograph. She also shares warm memories of autumn in Belgrade and of colleagues with whom grammar can be discussed in three languages at once.

Conditions of the Central-Limit Theorem Are Rarely Satisfied in Empirical Psychological Studies

Frontiers in Psychology. 2021. Vol. 12. Article 762418.
Sawada T.

This study describes how the conditions in the Central Limit theorem (CLT) are usually not satisfied in empirical Psychological studies by comparing the formulation of the CLT with a common experimental procedure used in empirical Psychological studies. This explains why the CLT cannot assure that the population follows a normal distribution no matter how large the sample size is in these studies. This applies regardless of the number of participants or the number of trials run by each participant.

The authenticity gap: Why generative AI cannot replicate human creativity
Kharkhurin, A. V., Corazza G. E., JOURNAL OF CREATIVITY 2026 Vol. 36 No. 3 Article 100132
This article examines whether generative artificial intelligence (Gen-AI) can be considered creative when evaluated through a dynamic cross-cultural framework of creativity. Integrating the dynamic model of creativity (Corazza et al., 2022) with the four-criterion construct of creativity (Kharkhurin, 2014), the analysis evaluates Gen-AI across four dimensions: originality, effectiveness, aesthetics, and authenticity. The article advances the ...

“Reading the Mind in the Eyes Test”: Development of a Russian-Language Version Expanded for Neuroimaging Applications
Zheltyakova M., Korotkov A., Bursov K. et al., Herald of the Russian Academy of Sciences 2026 Vol. 95 P. 1048–1057
The Reading the Mind in the Eyes Test (RMET) is a widely used tool for assessing affective mentalization in both clinical and research contexts. Although translated into many languages, no validated Russian-language version has been available. Furthermore, the limited number of stimuli in the original RMET constrains its applicability in neuroimaging studies. This study presents ...

Mechanisms underlying disfluency effects: a systematic review

Introduction. Although some studies link disfluency – the subjective experience of difficulty in processing information – to cognitive and metacognitive benefits, empirical findings remain inconsistent, often showing null or negative effects, while theoretical explanations remain fragmented. Objective. The aim of this review was to systematize and clarify the mechanisms through which disfluency influences cognitive, metacognitive, ...

Создание методик диагностики на основе анализа движений глаз является особенно актуальным для оценки когнитивных функций у детей, которые не могут дать речевой или моторный ответ в силу своего возраста или из-за нарушений развития. Для таких детей использование объективных методов оценки когнитивных функций на основе айтрекинга может стать полезным диагностическим инструментом, дополняющим традиционные поведенческие опросники и ...

Random walks on rank one symmetric spaces of noncompact type
Gnetov F., Konakov V., / Series arXiv "math". 2025. No. 2512.04667.
We establish a central limit theorem, a local limit theorem, and a law of large numbers for a natural random walk on a symmetric space M of non-compact type and rank one. This class of spaces, which includes the complex and quaternionic hyperbolic spaces and the Cayley hyperbolic plane, generalizes the real hyperbolic space Hn. Our approach introduces ...

Multi-normex distributions for the sum of random vectors. Rates of convergence
Kratz M., Prokopenko E., Extremes 2023 Vol. 26 No. 3 P. 509–544
We build a sharp approximation of the whole distribution of the sum of iid heavy-tailed random vectors, combining mean and extreme behaviors. It extends the so-called ’normex’ approach from a univariate to a multivariate framework. We propose two possible multi-normex distributions, named d-Normex and MRV-Normex. Both rely on the Gaussian distribution for describing the mean behavior, ...

Asymptotic Properties of a Statistical Estimator of the Jeffreys Divergence: The Case of Discrete Distributions
Glinskiy V., Artem Logachov, Logachova O. et al., Mathematics 2024 Vol. 12 No. 21 Article 3319
We investigate the asymptotic properties of the plug-in estimator for the Jeffreys divergence, the symmetric variant of the Kullback–Leibler (KL) divergence. This study focuses specifically on the divergence between discrete distributions. Traditionally, estimators rely on two independent samples corresponding to two distinct conditions. However, we propose a one-sample estimator where the condition results from a ...

Note on normal approximation for number of triangles in heterogeneous Erdos-Renyi graph
Logachov A.V., Mogulskii A. A., Yambartsev A. A., Siberian Electronic Mathematical Reports 2024 Vol. 21 No. 2 P. 914–926
We obtain a bound for the convergence rate in the central limit theorem for the number of triangles in a heterogeneous Erdos-Renyi graphs. Our approach is reminiscent of Hoeffding decomposition (a common technique in the theory of U-statistics). We show that the centered and normalized number of triangles asymptotically behaves as the normalized sum of ...

From Classical to Modern Nonlinear Central Limit Theorems
Ulyanov V. V., Mathematics 2024 Vol. 12 No. 14 Article 2276
In 1733, de Moivre, investigating the limit distribution of the binomial distribution, was the first to discover the existence of the normal distribution and the central limit theorem (CLT). In this review article, we briefly recall the history of classical CLT and martingale CLT, and introduce new directions of CLT, namely Peng’s nonlinear CLT and ...

Inference via randomized test statistics

We show that external randomization may enforce the convergence of test statistics to their limiting distributions in particular cases. This results in a sharper inference. Our approach is based on a central limit theorem for weighted sums. We apply our method to a family of rank-based test statistics and a family of phi-divergence test statistics ...
