Abstract:
Extreme sport athletes perform in environments that are characterized by danger, unpredictability, and fear, and the consequences of a mistake include severe injury or death. Maverick’s is a big-wave surfing location in northern California that is known for its cold water temperatures, dangerous ocean wildlife, deep reef, and other navigational hazards. The purpose of this study was to use a phenomenological framework to understand the psychology of big-wave surfing at Maverick’s. Seven elite big-wave surfers completed in-depth phenomenological interviews and discussed the psychology related to various stages of big-wave surfing, including presurf, in the lineup, catching the wave, riding the wave, wiping out, and postsurf. Big-wave surfers described a variety of experiences associated with surfing at Maverick’s and discussed several ways that they coped with its challenges. The results provide a greater understanding of the psychology of participating in an extreme environment.

Abstract:
The contemporary era features systematic correlations between creating wealth and the emergence of new and even more intensive risks. Globalization processes, volatile geopolitical conjunctures, global climate change, technological progress, which provoke constant and inevitable change in the environment of our existence, aggravate the condition of uncertainty at each level of the social life, thus increasing the social and psychological tensions. The latter constitute another source of risks manifesting in the emergence of extreme environments or extreme situations, apart from conventional risks of human existence. It raises the need for rethinking of established paradigms in psychology and related or other sciences in which the notion “extreme” is in a way explored, and their revision, in order to form a new scientific synergy for methodological support of preparing the population to behavioral adaptation and situational behavior in extreme environments and situations. This determines high importance of extremology as a new applied and interdisciplinary research filed. Considering the social demand, analysis of scientific sources and own experiences of the authors, extremology can be defined as the system for the protection of populations and active counteractions in the conditions of emerging extreme environments and extreme situations. It is argued that to be effective nowadays, such system should be built on methods developed as part of other fields of knowledge, i. e. risicology and statistics, especially the component of extreme risk control and quantitative assessment. But the latter cannot exclude studies of the possibilities for enhancing cross-disciplinary synergy of extremology through involving other methods and practices.

Abstract:
The article is devoted to the study of the possibilities of self-regulation of psychoenergetic states of the individual in an extreme environment. Theoretical analysis of the concept of subjective vitality in psychology in accordance with various scientific theories is presented. Vitality is presented as a subjectively perceived state that reflects the fullness of vitality and energy. Self-determination (autonomy) and competence are defined as conditions for enhancing subjective vitality. It is noted that high vitality is the opposite pole of depression. Depression is understood as a mental state and mood disorder. The content of the phenomenon of depression, symptoms and some reasons for its occurrence are revealed. Psychological and physiological factors of increase and depletion of vital energy of the person are analyzed. An analysis of the results of an empirical study of subjective vitality and depression in parachuting. The features of the chosen type of sports activity, which are essential for research, are commented. Skydivers have a high level of subjective vitality as a condition, dispositional vitality as a personal quality and a low level of depression. A comparative analysis of the results with the indicators of the control group, which indicated a direct positive impact of skydiving on the overall level of vital energy of the individual. It has been found that the level of subjective vitality in parachutists decreases at the end of the jumping season, while the level of depressive manifestations increases. Emphasis is placed on the importance of subjective activity, interpersonal interaction with like-minded people, experiences of self-competence, control over circumstances. Groups of empirical methods were used in the study: psychodiagnostic method (method of studying the subjective and dispositional vitality of R. Ryan and K. Frederick, Beck depression scale); from the group of methods of analysis (processing) of data: qualitative and quantitative analysis of the obtained results, methods of computer processing of experimental data. The study involved 180 respondents aged 22 to 50 years, 90 representatives of parachuting and 90 respondents of the control group. Empirical research was carried out on the basis of: Aviation Complex “Avia-Soyuz” Aerodrome “Maiske”. All study participants received informed consent to participate in the study.

Abstract:
Out of the broad range of possible causes and helpful responses to extreme states psychosis, this article focuses on the environmental and psychological aspects, primarily from a contemplative and Windhorse therapeutic perspective. While understanding that the psychological basis for spiritual development is the same for extreme states, the helpful responses presented are based on the principles that all beings are fundamentally sane and inseparable from their environment. This discussion concludes with the recognition that each person in an extreme state, no matter how confused, has the very real potential of transforming this life disruption into a highly individual path of discovering and manifesting his or her own unique, intrinsic sanity.

Abstract:
During the COVID-19 pandemic, organizers of crowd events must facilitate physical distancing in environments where attendees previously enjoyed being close with ingroup members, encourage accurate perception of health risks and close adherence to safety guidance, and stop expected normative behaviors that may now be unsafe. Research from crowd psychology demonstrates how group processes are integral to each of these issues. The COVID-19 pandemic, however, has created an extreme case environment in which to evaluate the collective findings from previous research and identify future research directions. This paper outlines how organizers of crowd events and researchers can work together to further develop our understanding of social connectedness in crowds, reasons for risk-taking behavior, and level of engagement in new collective behaviors. By working together to address these issues, practitioners and researchers can develop our understanding of crowd processes and improve safety at future crowd events.

Abstract:
Extreme sport is one of the fastest-growing areas in sporting activity in this century. Extreme sport appears to be used interchangeably with high-risk sport in much of the research literature. Both high-risk sport and extreme sport are defined as any sport where one has to accept a possibility of severe injury or death as an inherent part of the activity. Extreme sports are rapidly becoming the physical activity of choice. Extreme sports have diffused around the world at a phenomenal rate and far faster than established sports. Commercially, extreme is the password for corporations and advertisers to access young population. Extreme sports increasingly attract participants from different social classes and age groups, as well as females and minority groups. The extreme sport comprises tourist activities, therapeutic activities, recreational activities, and sporting activities. They have become a sporting spectacle. Extreme sports are even discussed in marketing (niche market), management, and policy literature as legitimate niches that require their peculiar understanding or inappropriate activities that need to be banned. Adventure and risk-taking sports such as mountaineering, whitewater rafting, surfing, skiing, skydiving, downhill mountain biking, rock climbing, and BASE (Building, Antenna (or Aerial), Span (i.e., bridge), Earth (cliffs or other rock formations)) have increased in popularity in recent years. This study is an overview of previous studies carried out by eminent scholars of psychology and different disciplines. The objective of this study is to understand extreme sport in better way on one side and how extreme (or adventurous) sport has been theoretically conceptualized and re-conceptualized on the other. The researcher made an effort to disseminate the knowledge of extreme sports to the students, researchers, entrepreneurs, media personnel, and other concerned authorities, related organizations, and institutions. It is also believed that this study will help to promote adventure education, adventure tourism (niche tourism) and deep ecology. The participants strongly believe that the natural world acts as a facilitator to a deeper, more positive understanding of self and its place in the environment. Fear, emotion, stress, risk, uncertainty, motivation, wellness, wellbeing, personality traits and determination are the key elements of extreme sports.

Abstract:
AbstractA dimensional model of personality disturbance is presented that is defined by extreme values on interacting subsets of seven major personality traits. Being at the extreme has marked effects on the threshold for eliciting those traits under stimulus conditions: that is, the extent to which the environment affects the neurobiological functioning underlying the traits. To explore the nature of development of extreme values on these traits, each trait is discussed in terms of three major issues: (a) the neurobiological variables associated with the trait, (b) individual variation in this neurobiology as a function of genetic polymorphisms, and (c) the effects of environmental adversity on these neurobiological variables through the action of epigenetic processes. It is noted that gene–environment interaction appears to be dependent on two main factors: (a) both genetic and environmental variables appear to have the most profound and enduring effects when they exert their effects during early postnatal periods, times when the forebrain is undergoing exuberant experience–expectant dendritic and axonal growth; and (b) environmental effects on neurobiology are strongly modified by individual differences in “traitlike” functioning of neurobiological variables. A model of the nature of the interaction between environmental and neurobiological variables in the development of personality disturbance is presented.

Abstract:
Children who commit family murder have been increasingly reported on in the South African media. Violence of this type has far-reaching consequences for families and communities. In this qualitative study, nine documented cases of children who committed family murder were analyzed to gain an in-depth understanding of the factors that contribute to children murdering family members. The personal and systemic reasons for these types of murders guided the research. The Interpersonal Parental Acceptance-Rejection Theory (IPARTheory) was used as theoretical framework. The researcher argues that the quality of the interaction between the parent and the child, as well as individual differences within a specific environment, is central to committing family member murder. A narrative summary of the general characteristics of children who kill a family member was compiled. In this study, the children were predominantly exposed to dysfunctional family environments characterized by problematic attachment to the caregiver/s, rejection, abuse, and extreme parenting styles. The parenting styles were often extremely authoritarian or in some cases permissive. The caregivers often expected the child to conform to their idea of the ideal child, and nonconformance resulted in punishment and rejection. These children presented with interpersonal relationship problems, anxiety, and aggression, and fantasized about escaping their challenging home environments. In some of the cases, the children abused alcohol and drugs. In only a few of the cases, signs of antisocial personality disorder were present. The family murders committed by children were predominantly committed by males. The weapons used in the murders were often everyday objects available in the environment. In this study, it was important to note that children who commit family murder have unique backgrounds and circumstances. Therefore, the characteristics discussed in this article only serve as a guideline to understanding these children.

Abstract:
Many of Grush's arguments should apply equally to animals with small brains, for which the capacity to internally model the body and environment must be limited. The dilemma may be solved by making only very approximate predictions, or only attempting to derive a “high-level” prediction from “high-level” output. At the extreme, in either case, the “emulation” step becomes trivial.

Abstract:
The purpose of this thesis was to apply mainstream theoretical social psychology to group dynamics in isolated confined extreme (ICE) environments, with a particular focus on the context of long duration spaceflight. This was done by providing a thorough review of both the ICE environment psychology literature and the social psychological literature. From this it emerged that significant gaps existed within the ICE literature around the understanding of group processes. A review of relevant social psychology literature suggested that the social identity perspective may have much to offer in advancing the understanding of group processes in these environments. It was argued that processes related to social identification plays a key role in the team functionality. Of particular note was how social ‘norms’ could influence social identification processes and group functioning. Crew heterogeneity had been cited as a potential concern in much ICE literature, so group norms that related to diversity were investigated. Three theoretical chapters provided a review of space and ICE environment psychology literature, social psychology literature and diversity literature. Five experiments are reported in this thesis. The first, an exploratory field study which study took place during an expedition into the Australian Outback, made general predictions about how social identification might be constrained by the extreme environment context. The study demonstrated that identity processes did indeed influence group functionality, but also that the presence of pro-diversity group norms seemed to have a positive influence. In order to explore this issue in more detail, four studies were conducted. These included a field study at the Mars Desert Research station in Utah, two laboratory studies and a final field study that took place during a winter-over period at the Concordia Research station in Antarctica. Collectively these studies demonstrated that ingroup identification played an important role in driving group functionality in extreme environments. In addition they demonstrated that the presence of a pro-diversity group norm had the potential to increase group identification while also reducing the likelihood of negative outcomes (crew alienation and sub-group conflict). Multilevel Linear Modelling and Social Network Analysis were used in two of the studies and if adopted have the potential to significantly improve the validity of future extreme environment research. By using these techniques in this thesis, the certainty surrounding the research findings was greatly enhanced. Taken together the work of this thesis demonstrated three key points: that mainstream social psychology theory and research has much to offer extreme environment research.; social identification processes play a key role in the group dynamics of people in extreme environments; and that a pro-diversity norm, under certain conditions, can play an important role in maximising group functioning. The contribution of this thesis, then, has implications for the ICE literature as well as the social/organisational literature on group diversity and finally the kind of group culture that should be encouraged in extreme environments.

Abstract:
There has been much debate about whether shallow water diving , in the absence of neurological insult , can lead to cognitive deficits. The aim of this study was to investigate possible neuropsychological effects on two groups of divers , without any known history of decompression illness, who represent opposite ends of the spectrum of diving practice (rescue divers and sport divers) , and to compare them with a non-diving control group. 17 rescue divers , 17 non-diving controls and 15 sport divers were recruited. The groups were matched for age, but not for education. The two diving groups were comparable in terms of diving history. Results of neuropsychological testing indicated that the rescue diving group was not significantly different from the control group, suggesting that rescue diving under controlled conditions is comparatively safe. The sport diver group performed significantly worse than controls on a test of verbal reasoning (Comprehension, SAWAIS-R) and on a measure of word fluency (Controlled Oral Word Initiation Test), suggesting the possibility that risky diving practices may lead to decrements in frontal lobe functioning. Another possibility is that global decrements occur, but that the tests of frontal lobe functioning were more sensitive to mild deficits in functioning. This contention is tentative, and further research into frontal lobe functioning of divers should be conducted. Sport divers are recommended to follow safe diving practices and use dive profiles that avoid bubbling in order to prevent cognitive damage. VI

Abstract:
Political violence and armed conflict are a worldwide problem that exposes families to extreme acts of violence, disrupts community and family economic conditions, compromises family functioning and parenting behaviors, and has deleterious effects on children’s development. In this chapter, we describe two overarching, complementary theoretical frameworks that can explain how exposure to political violence affects family functioning: Bronfenbrenner’s model of hierarchically nested ecological ecosystems and a related model within developmental psychology, the family stress model. Using data from our Palestinian-Israeli exposure to violence study, a prospective study of 1,501 Palestinian and Israeli families, we examine a mediational model showing that the family’s exposure to ethnic-political violence predicts negative family functioning (parental depressive symptoms and marital aggression), which in turn predicts subsequent harsh physical punishment toward one’s children.

Abstract:
Virtual environments provide a computer-synthesized world in which users can interact with objects, perform various activities, and navigate the environment as if they were in the real world (Sherman & Craig, 2002). Research in a variety of fields (i.e., software engineering, artificial intelligence, computer graphics, human computer interactions, electrical engineering, psychology, perceptual science) has been critical to the advancement of the design and implementation of virtual environments. Applications for virtual environments are found in various domains, including medicine, engineering, oil exploration, and the military (Burdea & Coiffet, 2003). Despite the advances, navigation in virtual environments remains problematic for users (Darken & Sibert, 1996). Users of virtual environments, without any navigational tools, often become disoriented and have extreme difficulty completing navigational tasks (Conroy, 2001; Darken & Sibert, 1996; Dijk et al., 2003; Modjeska & Waterworth, 2000). Even simple navigational tools are not enough to prevent users from becoming lost in virtual environments. Naturally, this leads to a sense of frustration on the part of users and decreases the quality of human-computer interactions. In order to enhance the experience of users of virtual environments and to overcome the problem of disorientation, new sophisticated tools are necessary to provide navigational assistance. We propose the design and use of navigational assistance systems that use models derived through data mining to provide assistance to users. Such systems formalize the experience of previous users and make them available to new users in order to improve the quality of new users’ interactions with the virtual environment.

In the conditions of fragility of building interethnic relations, turning to the problem of developing interpersonal relations in mono-cultural and multi-cultural teams of employees of an enterprise in the period of reorganization is extremely relevant. The article presents the results of the empirical research conducted by the authors, the conclusions were made after processing data using mathematical statistics methods. The analysis of theobtained empirical data shows that in the period of reorganization the factor of cross-cultural composition of the employees teams under study actively manifests itself in interpersonal relations. Differences were found in the level of certain characteristics of employees in different types of ethnic environments. In general, more statistically significant connections between personal and behavioral characteristics were found in the sample of employees in a multi-ethnic environment compared to the employeesin a mono-ethnic environment. The development of interpersonal interaction in a team of employees in a multi-ethnic environment in the period of reorganization should be based on the development of the most significant characteristics of their personalityand behavior: positive ethnic identity, empathy, interpersonal trust and skills and abilities of building interpersonal interaction.

The worldwide development of civilization changed the natural environment of the human. For the average European citizen a city is more natural place for living than a forest. Simultaneously, in these days many inhabitants present an extremely conformist approach to life and to the surrounding space. The participation of members of the society in the shaping of public spaces is possible only through the involvement and practice, but the democratic responsibility does not appears out of nowhere. It must be fostered and nurtured as early as in childhood. According to developmental psychology, children in the age of 3-6 are very susceptible to the acquisition of new skills and learn it in an intuitive way. The proper education program using Le Corbusier’s lectures and theory could help them to understand the space better. The seeming simplicity of above rules is an advantage in this case – thereby it can be explained to even such an audience as small children. On the other hand, some kind of abstract and hidden difficulty included in this theory becomes an opportunity to create a very absorbing and stimulating workshops that follow the needs of younger and older children. Le Corbusier’s legacy includes not only physical issues and can be used in many different ways. As Pablo Picasso once stated: every child is an artist, the problem is staying an artist when you grow up. For those reasons, incorporating such an innovative strategy for kids’ education reveals a great potential. Resumen: Los estudios realizados enfocan en comprobar las posibilidades de usar las ideas teóricas de Le Corbusier en los programas educativos para niños de tres a seis años. El desarrollo de la civilización ha cambiado el entorno natural del ser humano - una ciudad para el ciudadano promedio de Europa es un lugar más natural para vivir que el bosque. Al mismo tiempo, hay que reconocer que muchas personas muestran el enfoque muy conformista a la vida, tanto al espacio circundante. Esta situación se podría mejorar mediante la participación consciente de los miembros de la sociedad en la creación del espacio público, su compromiso y la práctica. Pero la responsabilidad democrática no aparece sola, se debe estimularla y nutrir ya en la infancia. De acuerdo con la psicología del desarrollo, los niños de 3 a 6 años son muy susceptibles a la adquisición de nuevas habilidades y aprenden de una manera intuitiva. Programa educativo que utiliza los cursos y la teoría de Le Corbusier puede ayudarles a entender mejor el medio ambiente. La aparente sencillez de los principios proclamados por él en este caso es una ventaja. La abstracción y escondidas dificultades incluidas en ellos,nos permiten a crear actividades estimulantes que correspondan a las necesidades de los niños pequeños, tanto y mayores. Como afirmo Pablo Picasso: "Todo niño es un artista. El problema es cómo mantenerse siendo niño una vez que se ha crecido". Keywords: Architectural education, children, Le Corbusier.
