The main aim of the research study was to explore the relationships between indecisiveness, academic procrastination and anxiety. The research sample consisted of 296 university students (mean age=21,06; SD=1,52), who completed the Slovak adaptations of the Indecisiveness Scale, the Lay's Procrastination Scale for Students and the Beck Anxiety Inventory. A significant moderate correlation was found between indecisiveness and anxiety, as well as a significant strong correlation between indecisiveness and academic procrastination. A significant but very weak relationship was found between academic procrastination and anxiety. Indecisiveness explained more variance in academic procrastination than anxiety. Indecisiveness was predicted by procrastination and anxiety to a similar degree. No gender differences were detected in the levels of indecisiveness or academic procrastination.

The aim of this study is to examine the correlates of language emotionality and the verbal expression of emotions in bilingual persons by analysing a selection of research studies. In comparison with another language spoken by a bilingual, the mother tongue is characterised by a greater emotional charge. The emotional power of a language correlates with the age of the person and their emotional experience at the time of its learning as well as the specific cultural context. The language with a greater emotional charge is used to verbally express emotional experiences, specifically in emotionally charged situations and in the case of positive valence of experienced emotions. On the other hand, in the case of negative valence, the less emotional language that offers distance from emotional experience is preferred. In a therapeutic relationship, a bilingual can spontaneously or purposefully switch between languages in order to regulate the intensity of emotional experience. Although therapy with a bilingual client can be challenging for the professional, too, respect for changes in language expression on the part of the client and targeted work with the language context on the part of the therapist are expected.

The goal of this study was to investigate whether core self-evaluation is linked to hoarding behavior, in addition to erroneous beliefs about possessions and indecisiveness in a non-clinical sample (N = 270). Even though all variables correlated significantly with hoarding, only indecisiveness and concerns about information loss after item discarding proved to be significant predictors. Multiple parallel mediational analyses revealed that core self-evaluation exerts its total influence on hoarding via indecisiveness and erroneous beliefs about possessions. Research results not only support the theoretical and qualitative viewpoint of the connection between self-concept and hoarding but also contribute to the research in this field by revealing the role of indecisiveness and erroneous beliefs about possessions in this context.

This study investigated the relationships among indecisiveness, self-esteem, and repetitive negative thinking in a sample of emerging adults. It also explored how these factors are related to the dimensions of emerging adulthood and assessed whether self-esteem and repetitive negative thinking can predict levels of indecisiveness. To achieve these objectives, 202 respondents aged 18 to 29 completed several assessments, including the Indecisiveness Scale, the Perseverative Thinking Questionnaire, the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, and the Inventory of the Dimensions of Emerging Adulthood. The findings revealed correlations among indecisiveness, self-esteem, and repetitive negative thinking. Specifically, there was a negative relationship between indecisiveness and selfesteem, a negative relationship between self-esteem and repetitive negative thinking, and a positive relationship between indecisiveness and repetitive negative thinking. Regarding the dimensions of emerging adulthood, instability/negativity proved to be the most significant correlate of the constructs examined. Furthermore, the results indicated that both self-esteem and repetitive negative thinking can predict levels of indecisiveness in emerging adults and explain 56% of its variance.
