Expectations of a winning result in women's handball team: comparison of different age groups
The aim of the article is an empirical study of the expectations of a winning result and its comparison in three age groups of women's handball club \"Dniprianka\" (Kherson, Ukraine). Study participants are: senior age group (n = 16; 19-27 years) - Championship of Ukraine (Super League); middle age group (n = 11; 15-17 years old) - Championship of Ukraine (Junior League); youngerage group (n = 9; 13-15 years) - Championship of Ukraine (Children's League). The influence of pre-start emotional states on the female handball players' expectations of a winning sports result is determined and substantiated. Methods. Clear of purpose observation, standardized and adapted psychodiagnostic methods with experimental scales, factor analysis by the method of principal components, rotation - Varimax are applied. Results. The influence of emotions \"joy\" and \"interest\" on the pre-game expectations of handball players has been established. The connection of emotions with awareness of the foreseeable course of events, with the apprehended attitude to the participants of the game interaction, with the level of expected results from the game (p <.05) is determined.Factor analysis proved the existence of a set of variables aimed at the future outcome of the competition, as well as to obtain positive emotions from the game process, the desire to avoid defeat in a sports match. The differences between the female handball players of the main team and the female athletes of the youth and children's teams in terms of emotional states and psychological content parameters of pre-game expectations (p <.05) were clarified. The factor structure of pre-start emotional states of the winning result expectancy of handball players is constructed. The factor structure consists (68.82%): F1 \"Expectation of a winning result\" (34.72%); F2 \"Expectation of positive emotions from the game process\" (21.84%); F3 \"Expectation of an opportunity to avoid defeat\" (7.51%) and F4 \"Expectation of a negative scenario\" (4.75%). It is advisable to implement the obtained empirical results in the tactical psychological training of athletes in game sports.

Features of Anesthesiologists-Reanimatologists’ Emotional States in Different COVID-19 Pandemic Periods in Russia
Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic is one of the most stressful events in recent times. Medical professionals, including anesthesiologists-reanimatologists, suffered the main blow in this difficult and stressful environment. Aims: This study aimed at identifying the features of anesthesiologists-reanimatologists’ emotional states in different COVID-19 pandemic periods. Methods: The study was conducted through an anonymous questionnaire among anesthesiologists-reanimatologists in two periods. In the First stage – which was carried out in May 2020 (during the first COVID-19 pan¬demic wave) – 58 anesthesiologists-reanimatologists in the Arkhangelsk region took part. During the Second segment – which took place in October 2020 (in the second COVID-19 pandemic wave) – 43 anesthesiologists-reanimatologists were examined. Repeated questioning was carried out among the same participants. Results: In October 2020, compared to May, the number of doctors who noted a high intensity of professional activity increased. Regardless of the study period, one-third of the subjects experienced constant pronounced anxiety. Anesthesiologists-reanimatologists, whose professional activity was directly related to the patients in COVID-19 care, noted a poorer emo¬tional state more frequently in October, accompanied by anxiety, depressed mood, irritability and a high burnout level, which may indicate a depletion of internal resources in this group. Conclusions: The study results showed that for anesthesiologists-reanimatologists, a further depletion of emotional resources accompanied the second pandemic wave. The anesthesiologists-reanimatologists’ emotional state was mediated by a number of social and gender factors, as well as specific labor organization features.

The Protective Role of Rational Beliefs on the Relationship Between Irrational Beliefs, Emotional States of Stress, Depression and Anxiety
The current study focuses on the protective role of rational beliefs in the relationship between irrational beliefs and negative emotional states (stress, depression and anxiety) in a sample of Turkish undergraduate students (N = 440). The findings suggest that irrational beliefs, especially the need for achievement, the need for approval, and the need for comfort, are important predictors of negative emotional states (stress, depression, and anxiety). The findings also provide additional evidence for the protective role of rational beliefs. Findings suggest that rational beliefs have a moderator role in the relationship between irrational beliefs and negative emotional states (stress, depression and anxiety). Contributions and the implications of this study were discussed in detail.

Reconsidering Empathy Deficits in Children and Adolescents with Autism
Humans need empathy to promote social interactions and to display prosocial behavior. Therefore, it is not surprising that low empathy skills are commonly seen as diagnostic features in several mental disorders. Empathy is an interesting topic in autism, since low empathy skills are responsible for the social difficulties that individuals with autism experience. The lack of agreement among researchers on empathy and autism, however, indicates that we need to redefine the characteristics of empathy in autism, which is the aim of our study. We hypothesize that children and adolescents with autism are impaired in three abilities required for empathy: (1) recognition of emotions, (2) sharing of emotional states, and (3) perspective taking. Since empathy ability measures are useful and are capable in distinguishing autism from other disorders, it is evident that these measures are used in clinical practice. Therefore, we recommend, in order to identify autism in clinical practice, at least the use of an instrument which is specialized in measuring one’s empathy abilities, with regard to recognizing emotions, sharing emotional states and perspective taking.

Which patient will feel down, which will be happy? The need to study the genetic disposition of emotional states
Purpose In quality-of-life (QL) research, the genetic susceptibility of negative and positive emotions is frequently ignored, taken for granted, or treated as noise. The objectives are to describe: (1) the major findings of studies addressing the heritable and environmental causes of variation in negative and positive emotional states and (2) the major biological pathways of and genetic variants involved in these emotional states. Methods Literature overview. Results The heritability estimates for anxiety and depression are 30-40%. Related traits as neuroticism and loneliness are also highly heritable. The hypothalamopituitary-adrenal axis is the 'final common pathway' for most depressive symptoms. The many findings of investigated genes are promising but not definitive. Heritability estimates of positive emotional states range between 40 and 50%. Life satisfaction and mental health share common genetic factors with optimism and self-esteem. The prefrontal cortex is a candidate brain area for positive emotional states. Biological and genetic research into positive emotional states is scarce. Conclusion Genetically informative studies may provide insights into a wide variety of complex questions that traditional QL studies cannot deliver. This insight in turn will help us to design more effective supportive programs that could moderate the outcomes of genetically based predispositions.

Fear Reduces Perceived Sweetness: Changes in the Perception of Taste Due to Emotional State
The taste of food and beverages can depend on changes in our taste perception. Also, this change may be due to emotional state. This study manipulated the emotional state of participants by having them watch different types of movies: comedy, horror, and documentary. High state anxiety was triggered among the participants who watched a horror movie, and high juice consumption was confirmed among them. The perception of sweetness of the mixed juice was found to be reduced in the horror movie group compared with the other two groups. Also, we also confirmed the negative correlation between perception of sweetness and state anxiety. Furthermore, the relationship between liking the juice and perception of sweetness was found to differ according to emotional state. This study confirms that our emotional state affects our perception of taste, including that feeling fear and anxiety can reduce the perception of sweetness.

Experimental evidence of massive-scale emotional contagion through social networks
Emotional states can be transferred to others via emotional contagion, leading people to experience the same emotions without their awareness. Emotional contagion is well established in laboratory experiments, with people transferring positive and negative emotions to others. Data from a large real-world social network, collected over a 20-y period suggests that longer-lasting moods (e.g., depression, happiness) can be transferred through networks [Fowler JH, Christakis NA (2008) BMJ 337:a2338], although the results are controversial. In an experiment with people who use Facebook, we test whether emotional contagion occurs outside of in-person interaction between individuals by reducing the amount of emotional content in the News Feed. When positive expressions were reduced, people produced fewer positive posts and more negative posts; when negative expressions were reduced, the opposite pattern occurred. These results indicate that emotions expressed by others on Facebook influence our own emotions, constituting experimental evidence for massive-scale contagion via social networks. This work also suggests that, in contrast to prevailing assumptions, in-person interaction and nonverbal cues are not strictly necessary for emotional contagion, and that the observation of others’ positive experiences constitutes a positive experience for people.
