The author's analysis refers to emotional skills (EI) among adolescents in the context of cumulative fatigue. Ninety-two young people aged 16-18 were examined. The following measures were used: the Polish modification of Cumulative Fatigue Questionnaire by R. Kosugo, and Questionnaire INTE N.S. Schutte and others. The relationship between cumulative fatigue and EI is signify cant. EI differs and diminishes with the growth of the fatigue level. The rise of fatigue is associated with the tendency to decrease one's abilities to use emotions in action. 'Being in harmony with others' is characteristic of young people with severe fatigue. The results underline the importance of understanding oneself and using emotions in one's life in the best way.

For the current generation of teenagers, computers, smartphones and social networks are seen as a completely natural part of their lives. However, the overuse of social networks has been associated with a number of risks such as the possible development of addiction, procrastination and the negative effects on the psychological, physical and social aspects of health. The aim of the research was to analyse the overuse of modern communication technologies on the behaviour of adolescents with a psychiatric diagnosis. The research questions related to the participants’ approach to using the internet, the influence of online activities on their behaviour, the causes of risky behaviour in cyberspace and the factors enabling these risks to be mitigated. The use of modern technologies for teenagers brings a certain satisfaction of needs, stress relief, entertainment and education

Evidence of the Five Factor model of child/adolescent personality has been demonstrated across ages, genders and countries. A culturally and age decentred instrument, the Inventory of Children's Individual Differences (ICID, Halverson et al., 2003) was designed to assess child and adolescent personality in terms of the five factors. Recently, a short version of the ICID that maintains the levels of validity and reliability previously established for the full instrument has been developed in the US (Deal et al., 2007). This paper presents short versions of the ICID suitable for cross-national comparisons and provides support for the reliability and validity of 15 reduced mid-level scales and five higher-order factors in caregiver reports of 3 to 18-year-olds from Slovenia (N = 1778) and Russia (N = 1712), and in adolescent self-reports (Slovenia, N = 419; Russia N = 1186). Effects associated with culture, gender, age and their interactions were examined. Overall, cultural differences accounted for more than 10% of variance in child personality according to parental reports and 5.5% of variance according to adolescent self-reports. In comparison with Russians, Slovenes scored higher on extraversion, conscientiousness and openness and a number of mid-level traits comprising these domains. Gender and age accounted for 2 to 3% of variance. Culture-by-gender-by-age interaction indicated different patterns of personality development in boys and girls of two Slavic countries.

480 volunteers (n = 476; 224 male, 252 female; age: 12-18 years, mean: 15.97 +/- 1.25 years; 139 are from the city of Budapest, 234 from towns, 103 from villages) participated in the study. The authors study showed that the anxiety level (reduced CPI) related to the gender (T Test: p - 0,01) and to the age (p - 0,05), but not to the place of residence. We also found that the anxiety level is related to the number of close relatives and friends (p - 0,05; p - 0,01 ). It is also connected to the number of mobile phone calls to the family, friends and acquaintances (p - 0,05); to the number of text messages sent to friends and acquaintances (p - 0,05); and to the willingness to build new contacts and trust strangers (p - 0,01). The authors' results indicate that besides the willingness to build new contacts and therefore enlarge the personal social network, the most important factors of controlling anxiety are: the number of not-too-strong links (close relatives and friends); and the number of not-too-strong communication channels (mobile phone calls, text messages). In contrast, the number of very strong links (parents, siblings) and very weak links (distant relatives, acquaintances), as well as the use of strong communication channels (personal contacts) and very weak communication channels (anonymous Internet-communication) may have only a moderate influence on the anxiety level.
