This study investigated the attitude of Romanian medical students and doctors toward business ethics by measuring the preference for a particular ethical philosophy, namely, the preference for Machiavellianism, moral objectivism, social Darwinism, ethical relativism, and legalism. At the same time, this study aimed to explore the influence of sex, age, and ethics education on the attitude toward business ethics. The data collection was performed using a voluntary self-administered online survey including the Attitudes Toward Business Ethics Questionnaire (ATBEQ) instrument. Our findings show that the values based on which Romanian medical students and doctors make business decisions belong predominantly to the moral objectivism philosophy, which is grounded on rational actions based on a set of objective moral standards.

This study examines aggressive behavior among adolescents in school settings, focusing on its associations with mental health dimensions such as dysfunctional negative emotions and anxiety. A total of 403 adolescents (234 girls and 169 boys) aged 12 and 13 years participated in the study. Self-report questionnaires assessed aggressive tendencies and mental health symptoms, while demographic variables such as age and gender were also collected. Data analysis revealed a non-normal distribution, as determined by the Kolmogorov-Smirnov and Shapiro-Wilk tests. Consequently, non-parametric statistical methods were employed, including the Spearman correlation coefficient to explore relationships between variables and the Mann-Whitney U test to analyze gender differences. The results demonstrated significant positive correlations between aggressive behavior and dysfunctional negative emotions (r = 0.191, p < 0.01) and between aggression and anxiety (r = 0.275, p < 0.01). Additionally, gender differences emerged, with females reporting higher levels of mental health symptoms than males (p < 0.05). These findings highlight the complex relationship between mental health challenges and aggression, emphasizing the significant roles of gender and emotional regulation in shaping these dynamics. The study calls for the development of tailored psychological interventions that not only address aggressive behaviors but also consider the unique mental health needs and emotional profiles of adolescents, ensuring a more personalized and effective approach to support their well-being.

The transmission of trauma across generations has traditionally been explained through genetic, epigenetic, familial, and attachment-based mechanisms. While these approaches have generated valuable insights, they remain insufficient for explaining the persistence of psychological vulnerability in contexts where the original traumatic event has disappeared but maladaptive patterns continue to emerge across generations. This paper introduces the Contextual Resonance Theory of Psychopathology (CRTP), a novel cognitive–systemic framework proposing that transgenerational trauma is maintained through the recursive reproduction of trauma-shaped environments rather than exclusively through biological inheritance. According to this model, traumatic experiences generate adaptive cognitive, emotional, and behavioral responses that become embedded within family narratives, relational structures, institutional practices, and cultural expectations. Over time, these adaptations evolve into self-maintaining contextual systems that continuously communicate threat, unpredictability, and hypervigilance to subsequent generations. The theory introduces the concepts of contextual traumatic inertia, distributed psychopathology, and recursive contextual resonance to explain how vulnerability becomes socially reproduced even in the absence of direct trauma exposure. Drawing on predictive processing, ecological psychology, systems theory, and contemporary trauma research, the paper proposes that psychopathology emerges from persistent interactions between individuals and pathogenic environments rather than solely from intrapsychic dysfunction. Furthermore, a complementary mechanism termed corrective recontextualization is proposed as a pathway for reversing transgenerational vulnerability through repeated exposure to safe, predictable, and psychologically restorative contexts. The framework offers an integrative perspective capable of bridging cognitive neuroscience, developmental psychopathology, trauma studies, and mental health intervention research. Clinical, educational, organizational, and societal implications are discussed, alongside future directions for empirical validation and neurocognitive investigation.

This study started from the observation that after completing training in a therapeutic orientation, some trainees turn to other supervisors, with a background in other therapeutic orientation and registered with other training providers. The supervisee has the right to choose the supervisor, and the supervisor has the right to accept or not to sign the supervision contract, but without discrimination based on gender, race, religion, etc. However, on the market of psychotherapy training programs, one can observe situations when future supervisees look for a supervisor from another training school/ institutions, not wanting to continue supervision within the same institution, where they trained to become psychotherapists. Thus, the interest turns towards finding out what are the reasons standing at the basis of these situations in Romania. Another interest turns towards identifying what possibilities has training provider at hand to increase the quality of its training programs.

The Supervision Pyramid provides an effective supervision tool that attends to the supervisee, the client, and the supervisor. It is divided into four levels: identifying the problem; exploring and elaborating on what is learned; experimentation and consolidation; and solving the problem with the goal of the supervisee’s increased capacity to identify solutions and to embrace professional challenges. This article proposes that the core factors of psychotherapy supervision are accomplished through the incorporation of Erskine’s “Keyhole Model”, which spotlights the significance of eight relational needs; the importance of the psychotherapist’s inquiry, attunement, and involvement; the effective use of acknowledgement, validation, normalization and presence; as well as a necessary sensitivity to the client’s nascent affects, rhythm, style of cognition, and level of development.

Introduction: Existing measures of romantic love primarily assess global feelings, attitudes, or relationship satisfaction, providing limited insight into how love is communicated in everyday interactions. Methods: The present study evaluated the psychometric properties of the Marici Love Messages Scale (MLMS), developed within the Love and Rejection Messages Theory (LRMT) to assess two complementary dimensions of love messages: Content (what partners do) and Modality (how these actions are expressed). Two independent community samples were used for exploratory and confirmatory analyses. Results: The findings supported the proposed factor structure and demonstrated high internal consistency for both subscales. Strong associations with Sternberg's dimensions of intimacy, passion, and commitment provided evidence of convergent validity, while discriminant validity was also supported. Measurement invariance across gender was supported at the configural, metric, scalar, and strict levels. Regression analyses further indicated that the Content and Modality dimensions explained unique variance beyond Sternberg's model, supporting their incremental validity. Discussion: The results suggest that the MLMS is a reliable and valid instrument for assessing everyday expressions of love and may be useful in both relationship research and6 clinical practice.
