Virtual Reality in International Sports Business: A Bibliometric Literature Review and Multilevel Research Agenda
No full textAim of the Review
The aim of this bibliometric literature review is to systematically, transparently, and quantitatively analyze the academic literature on virtual reality (VR) in international sports business. The review seeks to:
- trace the temporal development and structural maturity of the research field,
- identify central thematic clusters, knowledge streams, and actor networks,
- analyze the theoretical foundations of the literature, particularly from an international business (IB) perspective,
- examine the conceptual framing of VR as a (potentially) disruptive innovation,
- and, based on these insights, derive a multilevel research agenda for future research

The Efficiency of Mechanical Traction in the Treatment of Cervicalgia of Various Etiologies
No full textIntroduction: Cervicalgia, or neck pain, represents one of the most encountered therapeutic challenges globally, significantly impacting the quality of life of affected individuals. Methods: This research aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of mechanical vertebral traction in patients with cervicalgia. This study had a non-randomized controlled trial design and involved 26 participants (13 males and 13 females), with an average age of 47.6 ± 7.3 years. The participants were divided into two groups: control group (n=13) and experimental group (n=13). Participants' assessments included: cervical spine range of motion (ROM) tape measurements, the Spurling test, the Neck Disability Index (NDI), and the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). Both groups received individualized physical therapy interventions. In addition to the standard physical therapy treatment, the experimental group received mechanical traction therapy. Results: Both groups demonstrated improvements across all functional assessments at the final evaluation. Improved mobility (Occiput_Wall_distance, F, Z = -3.002, P = .003; Tragus_SF, Z = -4.331 , P =.000; Tragus_DF, Z = -4.225, P = .000 and Menton_F, Z = -2.470, P = .014 ) and a significantly larger reduction in disability, as assessed by the NDI (Z = -2.299 , P = .021), were observed in the experimental group. The addition of mechanical vertebral traction enhanced treatment efficacy in the experimental group, promoting faster pain reduction and greater improvements in cervical spine functional capacity. Conclusions: Mechanical vertebral traction, associated with a customized physical therapy protocol, significantly contribute to pain reduction and functional improvement in the control group of patients with cervicalgia
Publication 2 (Mother-Child Interaction, Perception of the Mother-Child Relationship, and Perception of the Child's Contribution to the Relationship)
No full textThese scripts belong to a publication in which we investigated if different mental disorders (borderline personality disorder - BPD vs. anxiety and depressive disorders - AD/D) or no mental disorder (CON) predict different aspects of the parent-child relationship, assessed via behavioral observation (mother-child interaction) and questionnaires (perception of mother-child relationship and the child's contribution to the relationship). Mother-child interactions were observed in two different tasks and we examined if associations between dyadic interaction and group status are similar across different contexts.
Raw data supporting the conclusions of this article will be uploaded here in completely anonymized form after the publication of all preregistered research questions of the consortium. Until then, the datasets used and/or analyzed during the current study are available from the corresponding author on reasonable request.
All information that contributes to the potential identification of the participants has been removed. Accordingly, not all descriptive characteristics of the sample are included in the raw data. Individual passages from the syntax for data preparation are therefore not executable. However, all relevant content for answering the central question can be found in the raw data.

The Social Life of Non-Parents: A Systematic Review
No full textData analysis (R syntax) for The Social Life of Non-Parents: A Systematic Review of Social Networks and Social Support Among Adults Without Children. This systematic review analyses existing literature on social networks and support among parents and non-parents, attempting to distinguish between different groups of non-parents, namely not-yet-parents, childless, and childfree individuals
Argumentative competence and belief in one’s argumentative self-efficacy among high-school and university students
No full textAbstract
The study examines whether belief in one’s argumentative self-efficacy contributes to the variability of argumentative competence in German as a foreign language. Argumentative competence was assessed using two tasks: argument recognition (AR) and argument truth evaluation (ATE). The research sample consisted of 854 students from Slovakia, Germany, and England (53.3% females; M=21.89; SD=2.83). Hierarchical linear regressions (two linear models) were used for data analyses. Both models were statistically significant (AR: F(9,844)=7.277, p<.001); ATE: F(9,844)=57.16, p<.001) and explained 7.2% / 37.9% of the variance in AR / ATE. Our analyses revealed that a belief in one’s argumentative self-efficacy significantly contributes to variability in argumentative competence, with a stronger effect on ATE (β = .328, p < .001). Sociodemographic predictors showed heterogeneous effects across models. The findings highlight the important role of self-efficacy in supporting higher-order cognitive processes and point to the multi-layered nature of argumentative competence
