Earlier research has indicated a strong relationship between drug use and leisure-time activity, and, specifically, the connection between the time spent in shopping malls and the abuse of legal and illegal substances. The aim of the authors' research is to examine the characteristics and interconnections of lifestyle, drug use and other problem-behaviours of youth spending time in shopping malls. In their research they have combined the methods of qualitative environmental psychological analysis (systematic setting observation) with normal population surveys. Results confirmed that the 'plaza-visiting behaviour' of frequent visitors (performing several visits per week or visiting every day) differ characteristically from the behaviour of those who are less frequent visitors. Frequent visitors are more likely to go to these places forenoon, and visit these places alone. However, they also consider shopping malls as places to meet friends. A strong relationship has been found between drug use and the frequency of visiting shopping malls. Those who visit shopping malls monthly, or less frequently, have shown a lower prevalence rates than the average of the whole sample, while those visiting these places (almost) daily have shown much higher prevalence rates of illegal substance use than the average. Similar results have been found in terms of other problem-behaviours. Beyond the presentation of the results the environmental psychological attributes of shopping malls are reviewed in the study.

Background: In research of emotional intelligence attempts for operationalization of the construct are of high importance. In the last two decades several measures suitable for the assessment of the phenomenon have been born whose majority explores the perceived level of emotional intelligence. One widely used measure is the Assessing Emotions Scale (AES; SCHUTTE, MALOUFF, et al, 1998), however its factor structure is still unclear. The one-factor structure suggested by the authors was criticized by many other experts proposing multi-factor solutions. The measure has not had a Hungarian version until this time; its measurement model has not been analyzed in Hungarian circumstances. Aim: The aim of our study was the Hungarian adaptation of the scale (AES-HU) and to examine which of the formerly proposed models fit most the empirical data. Method: One-factor, three-factor, four-factor, and six-factor solutions of the AES-HU scale were tested by confirmatory factor analysis on a convenience sample of 702 persons. Results: According to our results unequivocally the three-factor model proved to be the most plausible, however, single- and four-factor solutions cannot be irrevocably disproved either. Discussion: In case of the confirmed three-factor structure authors suggest new factor labels. Namely, the factor structure is better reflected by the labels “Appraisal of Emotions”, “Optimism and Regulation of Emotions” and “Intrapersonal and Interpersonal Utilization of Emotions”.
