To achieve this goal, 91 students were surveyed, using quantitative and qualitative methods. The aim was to identify levels of anxiety, depression, dysfunctional and functional emotions (fear and sadness). In addition to these variables, it was also observed how personality traits can moderate the psycho-emotional effects generated. The results obtained in this correlational study are supported by other research conducted in the last 3 years. The results reveal how extraversion and emotional stability can be good predictors of functional emotions. Extraversion correlated positively with depression, and emotional stability correlated negatively with the dysfunctional emotions of fear and sadness. While, at the opposite pole, introversion and neuroticism are risk factors for mental health. They may experience more severely the psychosocial and affective impact of the changes related to COVID19. While extraversion and emotional stability proved to be good predictors of functional emotions, conscientiousness represented an indicator for the extent to which young people are willing to comply with measures to prevent infection with the Covid-19 virus (mask wearing, timely declarations of night, social distancing, keeping the distance limit). On the other hand, the students claimed that the pandemic created for them a state of tension, anxiety, insecurity, the reason being that they did not know how things would evolve and what would happen next with classes/exams, and the information received from the management side were not clear. The felt anxiety was associated with the variable - alcohol consumption. The findings of this research create the favorable context for the development of larger, qualitative research, providing evidence regarding the importance of personality traits as a relevant predictor of differences between individuals during the pandemic. Due to the small number of participants in the study, there are certain limitations in that the results obtained cannot be generalized to a larger population than the subjects that make up the sample.","PeriodicalId":388718,"journal":{"name":"The „Black Sea” Journal of Psychology","volume":"56 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139005950","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Addressing this topic has helped me to study the social perception of this category of vulnerable, socially excluded population, namely that of drug addicts. The dynamics, dimensions and characteristics of drug use in Romania are aspects that underlie the governmental policy in this field. That is why the intervention of society must focus on at least four dimensions: social, economic, political and, last but not least, moral. Drug addiction is an increasingly visible phenomenon, with wide and sometimes serious consequences at individual and community level, and in this capacity highlights a series of hypotheses and perspectives concerning both the substances and the situations against which they are it creates addiction, but also the types and ways of consumption. It can be said about the drug problem in Romania that the period has passed, romantic in fact, in which there were several voices claiming that drug addiction would be a minor problem, that we are more of a transit chain to the western market, that there is a such external constraints on the individual, of which the economic one would be the most effective in keeping him away from expensive drugs. Unfortunately, this desirable situation has been somewhat transgressed and now we are in a stalemate that is not yet manifested in its \"fullness\": the subject of drug use is increasingly present in the social space, the institutions capable of social control are (statistics show a fabulous increase (1200% in the period 2000-2004, so in four years, of illicit drug users and addicts), the intervention network is insufficient and consists of several hospitalization centers / services set up next to psychiatry, the specialists of the intervention are still in training regarding the professional experience, the specialized literature is deficient and mainly theoretical, the researches and scientific studies on the field are hardly projected for the Romanian reality.","PeriodicalId":388718,"journal":{"name":"The „Black Sea” Journal of Psychology","volume":"68 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129292143","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
