In recent decades, computer games have become a form of popular entertainment in modern society. As a result, many people, including parents and researchers, have asked questions about how these computer games affect their users. Most psychologists who have begun research on this subject have mainly studied the negative effects of video games, but this trend has begun to change in recent years, with researchers also turning to their positive effects. This research explores the role that video games play in young people’s lives and how they can be used to improve mental health and well-being. But our reasearch is based on the effects on adolescents, especially those related to self-esteem, sociability and anxiety. A lot of studies in this area are made on variables such as violence and aggression, but we wanted to look beyond them and try to analyze some features and concepts of personality that do not appear so often in research.

Provenance and socioeconomic status have a large impact over the mental health in adolescence. The aim of this research is to identify significant differences in anxiety and emotional distress between adolescents with high socioeconomic status and low socioeconomic status. Previous research highlighted that low socioeconomic status is related to mental illness, stereotypes, low self-esteem, poor school-based social status, a feeling of hopelessness and high levels of anxiety and depression. A sample of 360 adolescents was assessed with Emotional Distress Profile (PDE), Endler’s Anxiety Scales (EMAS-T) and a Socioeconomic status screening, made by the author. Results show, on one hand, that adolescents with low socioeconomic status have higher levels of both anxiety and emotional distress, and on the other hand, that anxiety strongly correlates with emotional distress. Practical implications of this research regard the self-assessment in adolescence, the better understanding of the role of socioeconomic status in one’s subjective assessment of social rank, the importance of this assessment dimension in the development of autonomy and self-esteem, and the importance of these results for the development of effective interventions to improve the adolescent’s mental health.

Articles is aiming to conduct a systematic review of scientific literature on bullying phenomenon and tries to analyse its manifestation in Romanian schools. Bullying is a global phenomenon, usually neglected in schools around the world. The impact of the bullying is determined by the serious consequences not only for children who are victimized by aggressors, but also for those who initiate aggression. This is an important issue that will not be solved until a holistic approach (parents, teachers, specialists, local community, etc.) will address the reasons why children humiliate and intimidate others, and will identify the causes that trigger such behaviours. With the right guidance and training, children can acquire necessary skills to solve their problems instead of managing them by intimidating others. In order to provide such education and to successfully eliminate the aggression in schools, we must determine the causes and effects of school bullying. The most common causes of such behaviour can be the lack of empathy, egocentrism, pride, the superficiality of human relationships, and especially the exposure, assumption, imitation of similar patterns of behaviour - most of the time in physical or virtual environments.

The legislator has enshrined the rights of the child as human rights and transposes into national law the universal standards applicable to all children. There has been a general transposition from a child's needs regulation to a full legal valorization of their rights as a natural person undergoing protection and covering the child’s entire person. The absence or insufficiently outlined characters of the child’s discernment associated with limited life experience are legally compensated by a system of means of protecting both the person and the child's heritage. In scientific papers it is mentioned that, as a rule, in ordinary situations, the legal guardian is called upon to identify the direction of the child's interest and to decide accordingly. In all processes concerning minors (divorce, child custody, establishing or termination of placement) the court can not offer a solution without hearing the minor if he has reached the age of 10 years. Therefore, according to the provisions of article 264 Civil Code, the court of tutorship will settle the dispute only after the minor has been heard in the respective case. The purpose of this paper is to show procedural guarantees and psychological implications in the extraordinary situations in which the child can be found. Special situations arise from external forces generated by parents or others in civil society. The magistrate must ensure the trust that the relationship between him and the child should be based on. The hearing technique essentially pursues the observance of the general principles of the protection and promotion of child rights in close connection with the principle of truth finding by the magistrate.

The present study analyzes the process of deinstitutionalization, as a transition stage in the life of youngsters who leave care system after turning eighteen. They are a vulnerable population at risk of social and professional exclusion, mainly due to lack of supporting services following their exit. The objective of this study is to introduce a few changes which have taken place within the child protection system, and also a few strategies for guiding and supporting this category, so as to include and integrate them into society and into the labour market. Also, to stress a social worker′s role as a community facilitator in increasing the youth chances to adjust to independent life. Thus, after the 1990′s, during the political and economic transition stage, significant changes have occurred in the provision of services to children and teenagers placed in state care. Placements have been restructured, more complex services have been added, child care professionals have been trained, social care standards have been redefined, legal frameworks and administrative structures have been properly adjusted.

In this article we analyze how social inequalities are manifested in the education system in Romania. The assumption from which we start is that the change of the social structure following the process of transition from a planned state economy to a capitalist market economy has determined phenomena such as poverty and social polarization, as well as the degradation of public health, education or welfare systems. In this context, one of the solutions to exit from poverty and especially to interrupt the cycle of intergenerational reproduction of poverty, has been and continues to be the attempt to provide equal opportunities to all students in education and to support them to obtain at least the minimum skills and the minimum level of education required for participation in the labour market, taking into account all the specific vulnerabilities of capitalist economic systems. In the first part of this article, we describe the main changes in the social structure that have taken place in Romania over the last 30 years, with an emphasis on the analysis of employment, poverty and social inequality. In the second part, we describe the changes that have taken place at the level of the education system with an emphasis on attempts to ensure access to education for all students and define the concept of educational inequality. Subsequently, we use secondary data to analyze how social inequalities manifest in the education system, focusing on the problem of school dropout and the acquisition of basic competences. We describe the vulnerabilities of those belonging to the poor social classes to participate in the educational process and to have chances of school success at least similar to those of the privileged classes. We also argue that the education system contributes to the reproduction of social class inequalities, in the context of changing the occupational structure generated by the processes of globalization and development of platform capitalism. In the last part of the article, we express our skepticism about the role of educational policies in reducing educational inequalities and providing opportunities for school success to pupils from disadvantaged socio-family backgrounds.

This study conceptually and etiologically defines the harassment among students, either face to face or virtually, the types of bullying and cyberbullying from the perspective of the dynamic of the aggressor-victim relationship. In this regard, the aggressor and the victim’s profile are outlined, as well as the fluctuations of the attitudinal-behavioral pattern within the victim-aggressor-school triad. By referring to the aggressiveness among students, we will predominantly analyse the school harassment, emphasizing both the determinant factors and the effects on the psychological plan with reference to the efficient strategies of preventing the bullying and cyberbullying from the educational environment.

The number of students in public education in Romania dropped overall by 39 percent, from 4.1 million students to 2.5 million, from 1990 to 2017. The decline in the number of students enrolled in Hungarian medium education was somewhat more moderate, involving a decrease from 188,000 to 122,000 students (35%). Changes in ratios show partially positive trends. After the share of participants in Hungarian education in the total school aged population in Romania hit a low of 4.6% in 1996, it embarked on a growing trend until the 2010s. A period of stagnation followed, with a 5.1-5.2% share of Hungarian students in the total population of students enrolled in the national education system. The ratio continues to remain short of the 6% share. Regions in Transylvania and various education levels show different dynamics compared to the general picture. The paper describes and analyzes these differences.
