Monday, 20 November 2023 The Congress of Slovenian psychologists successfully concluded with the Student Day

On Saturday, November 18, 2023, after three days of lectures and workshops in the field of psychology, we successfully concluded the 9th Congress of Slovenian Psychologists. In the program of the event, which was held under the title Self and environment: the intertwining of inner and outer worlds, we also added the STUDENT DAY, on which students had the opportunity to express themselves and contribute to the diversity of psychological research.

Students presented their research, projects, case studies and other contributions related to the central theme of the event.

They shared their ideas with a wide audience at the presentations with the following presentations:

  • Sara Vidmar and Andreja Avsec: »Effects of narrative perspective on identification, emotion and immersion in reading fiction«,
  • Vesna Muzek and Daša Gajšek: »The brain behind the wheel - how visual and auditory stimuli are intertwined with traffic safety«,
  • Katja Šacer: »Psychological readiness for returning to sports«,
  • Ema Kukovec: »Parental alcoholism and negative outcomes in children in middle and late childhood and adolescence«,
  • Katarina Marjanović and Vesna Jug: »Do significant life events cause changes in attachment style in adulthood?«,
  • Ajda Novak and Andreja Avsec: »Sexting in partner relationships in connection with intimacy and subjective well-being«.

In addition to these presentations, workshops on climate anxiety and professional writing were also held on the Student Day, and students were able to present their posters to the audience.

The congress was held under the honorary patronage of the Prime Minister of the Republic of Slovenia, dr. Robert Golob, and the main organizers of the event were event are UP FAMNIT and the Association of Psychologists of Slovenia. The members of the Program and Organization Committee arranged a content-rich program, which, in addition to five plenary lectures, also included three round tables. The chair of the Program Committee was Prof. Vlasta Novak Zabukovec, full professor at UP FAMNIT and UL FF, and the president of the Organizing Committee was Assist.
