A new quality of self-reflection is one of the key attributes by which psychology demarcates the developmental period of adolescence (Hater, 2003; Dusek & McIntyre, 2003). Even though self-reflection as a psychological process starts developing already inearly childhood, it can in fact be said that awareness of „oneself” emerges as an importantevent and new personal experience at the very time of entering adolescence.

Many researchers from various fields are interested in the extracurricular and leisure activities of children. The fields of interest vary from sociology and psychology to social and health services (Caldwell & Darling, 1999; Fredricks & Eccles, 2006; Mahoney & Stattin, 2000; Shannon, 2006; Wearing, Wearing, & Kelly, 1994). Definition of the conceptof free or leisure time is only implicit in many of these studies. The authors do not frequently theorize the issue. Some authors have used a concept of extracurricular activityor duty (Larson & Verma, 1999; Larson, 2001); other authors differentiate between structured (goal directed activities e.g. sports, arts, technical) or unstructured activities (watching TV, playing on PC) (Mahoney & Stattin, 2000) and other forms of passive leisure (e.g., eating, resting, personal care) (Mahoney, Larson, Eccles, & Lord, 2005).

In contemporary society it is well known the stigmatization of people withmental illness, and even more so of alcohol or drug users. To this stigma is added thepossible legal problems that some of these people have. But, in addition to these twosources of stigma, a role in amplifying it is played by the person's own perception ofhow those who have similar problems to his or her are stigmatized. Perception ofstigma at a high level is a barrier in recognizing problems due to addictivebehaviors, in accessing specialized care services, in making a change in personalbehavior, in establishing a therapeutic relationship between client and counselor. Onthe other hand, the stigmatization of these people by the community in general andby some specialists in the field of care, only keeps the phenomenon of drug use on astrong growth trend. Therefore, in addition to programs to reduce the stigma ofpeople with addictive behaviors, it is desirable to streamline public communicationof specialists in the field of addiction, on various topics specific to this field and alsoto assess the level of perception of the stigma of these people, which may influencethe answers provided to other types of questionnaires, namely the results andconclusions of the psychological evaluation. At the same time, the interpersonalcommunication of the dependent person with the counselor or with the familymembers needs an improvement and /or a change regarding the terms used, the wayof interaction and the nonverbal behavior.

The whole universe works based on the transmission and reception of information. This information can be transmitted in various forms and is transported by various means. Some of them are little known and others very little known. Communication through mass media or even directly between people is dependent on the content in meanings and symbols. Transmission-reception stations cannot operate if they are not synchronized on the same frequency. The idea of synchronization between the brains sheds light on a method of subconscious communication full of meaning and creative ideas. This kind of communication can be reactivated because it is already in the drawers of the subconscious. This communication continues to "broadcast" from childhood throughout the rest of one’s life, and the human being only has to find the right frequencies to decipher it. Subconscious communication is not new, but it is very little addressed and really put into practice. The paper proposes recommendations for synchronized interpersonal communication (theoretically based on the latest studies and experiments) through which an ancestral type of communication is used.

The concept of psychological resistance refers to an extremely complex phenomenon through the multitude of facets, which different authors have described in different terms, such as: resistance to treatment (more common in psychodynamic approaches), non-compliance (predominantly in cognitive-behavioral), non-adherence (commonly used in medicine), stalemate (widely used in models who prefer an interpersonal approach to the phenomenon). Thus, the relevance of resistance to change in the therapeutic relationship is of particular interest to several authors who say that coping with resistance is essential to better understand therapeutic change and to reduce its abandonment or failure.

Reflecting on human attitude towards reality, together with deciphering the emotional code that accompanies it, has configured - in time – the aesthetic universe, open to human reflection, creation, and evaluation. Aesthetics appears through the way in which consciousness reacts and capitalises upon things in nature and society, or which belong to human subjectivity, including on artistic work, which have an effect on sensitiveness due to their harmony, balance and grandeur. As a fundamental attribute of the human being, creativity is the engine of cultural evolution, meaning the degree of novelty that man brings in his ideas, actions, and creations. Aesthetical values, together with the other types of values, contribute to what society represents and to what it can become, hence motivating human action and creation. Their role is to create a state of mind that encourages the cohesion, cooperation, and mutual understanding of the society. Integrating a chronological succession of the evolution of the concepts that objectify its structure, its aesthetics and creativity, this article stresses the synergetic nature of the two dimensions of human personality, paving the way to beauty, as a form of enchantment of the human spirit.

When the studies on personality are examined, it is seen that most of them are examined with the bright side of personality. However, in 2002, after Paulhus and Williams used the concept of dark personality traits (Paulhus and Williams, 2002: 557) to describe the malevolent side of human nature, scientists began to investigate the dark side of personality. When the literature is examined, it is seen that narcissism, machiavellianism and psychopathy are called the "dark triad". Dark triad personality traits seem to be effective on individual behavior. This effect is negative in terms of individual, organizational and social aspects. Necessary strategies must be developed to prevent or reduce this negative effect. From this point of view, it is seen that the concept of "dark triad" has attracted attention in the literature and various studies have been done. The three personality traits, narcissism, machiavellianism and psychopathy, which are discussed under the title of the Dark Triad, are defined within the framework of previous studies, and studies in the field are summarized in terms of their similarities and differences.

Emotional intelligence is an important determinant of job performance, and research shows that emotional intelligence can be developed through education. For example, one study compared the performance of financial advisors working for managers who received emotional competence training with those working for managers who did not. Working alongside a trained manager, the consultants were able to grow their business. Programs aiming to develop emotional intelligence at a higher rate than counselors working under an untrained manager should target the dimensions of emotional intelligence such as self-awareness, self-regulation, awareness of others, and regulation of others. For example, the most important educational priority for a group of individuals may be to develop self-awareness; may be developing self-regulation for another. Evaluating the priority level of each competence for a particular training group is an important preliminary program step. This can be accomplished by brainstorming with potential participants or having them fill out a valid and reliable emotional intelligence tool before the trainer. The contrast between the potential for emotional intelligence suggested by the theory, on the one hand, and the results reported in the meta-analyses are striking in terms of emotional intelligence capability. While there is an obvious contradiction to make sense of this, the ability model and performance measures based on it encompass a relatively narrow set of emotional skills. The tendency to measure emotional intelligence is a challenge. In this study, the concept of emotional intelligence is examined theoretically in the organizational context. In the literature, studies from the past to the present have been examined and a theoretical contribution is made.

The relationship between religiosity and personality is not one-sided and one-dimensional. On the one hand, religiosity affects personality, on the other hand, personality has an important effect on religiosity. Just as each person has a unique personality, each individual also has his/her own religiosity. For, just as there are as many personalities as there are people in the world, there are as many forms of religiosity as there are people in the world. A great deal of research has been done in the world on religiosity and personality, and many ideas have been put forward about these two. However, a full and clear view on this issue has not been put forward. Jung talks about introverted and extroverted personality while describing personality. Jung uses the concept of archetype when explaining religiosity. For him, God is an archetype. Maslow is the founder of humanistic psychology. He frequently dwells on the concept of self-actualization while explaining his views. According to him, self-actualized individuals are religious whether they believe in God or not. Maslow also focuses on the concept of institutionalized and non-institutionalized religion. He is against institutionalized religion. According to him, the real religious mystical person. In other words, the real religious are those who have non-institutionalized religion.
