23rd Psychology Days in Zadar: Book of Selected Proceedings
Synopsis
This book comprises selected proceedings of the 23rd Psychology Days conference in Zadar. The Psychology Days in Zadar is an international psychology conference organised biennially since 1978. The host of the conference is the Department at the Psychology of University of Zadar. Since its beginnings, this conference has outgrown its regional reputation and evolved into a recognized international scientific meeting. Despite the fact that there are many conferences in the region, this conference attracts participants from southern, eastern and middle Europe and beyond. It covers all psychology fields and neighbouring disciplines.
The 23rd Psychology Days in Zadar was held on 26-28 May 2022. It was organised by international scientific and organisational committees. To our knowledge, this was the first psychology conference in Croatia and beyond that was held after the COVID-19 restrictions had been lifted, so it attracted a large number of participants who were eager to present their latest research, communicate with colleagues in person and enjoy the spring sun in Zadar.
The Book of Selected Proceedings publishes exclusively empirical papers, with the exception of invited lectures which can be theoretical or review papers. Numerous participants arrived from following countries: Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Czech Republic, Croatia, Denmark, France, the Netherlands, Serbia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom and United States, and they presented more than 170 papers in total. Overall, the conference comprised five invited lectures, three symposia, twenty oral and three poster sessions. The Book of Proceedings contains sixteen papers that have undergone a double-blind review procedure. All papers are in English, written by 38 authors from five different countries. Each paper was reviewed by at least two experts. In addition, the complete edition was reviewed again by two experts, as listed in the book imprint. The papers come from different fields of psychology (clinical, cognitive, developmental, educational, maritime psychology, personality and psychology of sports). We are therefore positive that this edition will be a relevant source of novel and interesting findings.
