INFLUENCE OF COGNITIVE FACTORS ON RISK BEHAVIORS
This work is part of the concerns about theimplications of certain psychological factors on the behaviorof maintaining and preventing health. The latest findings inthe medica l world show that among the most importantdeterminants of health are physical activity, healthy eating andavoidance of excessive consumption of substances. Also,statistics produced both in the country and at the Europeanlevel indicate that a significan t percentage among youngpeople is adopting more and more frequent behaviors such asalcohol consumption, smoking, excessive coffee consumptionand other energy drinks, a sedentary life, and uses anunhealthy diet. These considerations have prompted us tochoose this theme, considering that it is relevant and useful toknow certain psychic aspects that may relate to suchbehaviors. We have tried to study the implications that thedisadaptive attribution style (internally, stably and globallynegative), nega tive thinking, life satisfaction, perception ofproblem solving ability have on risk behaviors referred to inthis work as risk behaviors. In the first part of the theoreticalfoundation we presented some of the concepts used by healthpsychology such as t he concept of health, illness, lifestyle,well being, preventive behaviors and risk behaviors
THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN INDIVIDUAL COPING, SOCIAL SUPPORTAND QUALITY OF LIFE OF ONCOLOGICAL PATIENTS: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE
The severity of the consequences of the disease, but also the possible side effects of the treatment make cancer diagnosis one of the most difficult life experiences. Because according to the stress and coping model the relationship between the stressor and the consequences is mediated by the actions taken in response, the present research aims to study the relationship between active coping, avoiding coping, social support and quality of life of oncological patients. To this end, a literature review was conducted which included cross-sectional studies dedicated to oncology patients, published in peer-review journals in the PsycInfo and Medline databases between 2000-2018. The analyzed studies revealed the existence of a positive association between active coping, social support and the quality of global, emotional, physical, functional and social / family life. Also, the existence of a negative relationship between the avoidant coping and the quality of the emotional, physical, functional and social / family life of the oncological patients was highlighted. The conclusion of this paper argues for the need to define interventions aimed at developing active coping strategies and increasing social support for cancer patients

THE FORMATIVE VALENCES’ UTILIZATION OF THE LEARNING CONTENT FROM THE RELIGION EDUCATION CURRICULUM
Defining the purposes of Religious Education is a complex processthrough the learning content is associated in an explicit way with pedagogicalformulations agreed in a particular historical stage. The intention of theseactions is to facilitate the utilization of the learning formative character of thereligious content in different educational contexts. This study proposes anexamination of the Religion syllabus elaborated after 1989, particularly at thecontent of learning. Formative level of learning content - which inChristianity is a unitary structure and it is centered on the Person andteachings of Jesus Christ - know different stages: some of its components areformative themselves and others become formative through the educationalprocess proceeding with the aim to attain their knowledge and through theintellectual, emotional, volitional and action structures that are developing.Religious living may represent only the result of a set of feelings and personalexperiences, possible by covering situations of life by educating theemotional component of students within the meaning of religious feelingsuperior, by learning and living the word. All this requires a curriculum thatincludes immutable values of Christianity in a structure as close to lifechanging experiences of new generations
Developing Reading Skills in Pre-primary and Primary School Education
The present course aims to present techniques and specific ways that can be used for developing reading skills in pre-primary and primary school education. Over time, a lot of these techniques have already been validated with positive results. Recently, we proposed strategies that have been adapted to the current educational needs. However, it is anticipated that the reading act should be introduced already from a very young age such as prenatal stage. Depending on the stage of intellectual development of the child (developmental stages described by Jean Piaget), parents and those in care of the children should gradually strengthen the development of reading through concerted efforts. Additionally, some of the techniques presented in this article undertake the stimulation of reading for students in secondary school, through becoming more self-motivated and developing a routine of reading, therefore becoming a sine qua non element of the adult's lifestyle. These techniques were applied by a lot of our (former) students enumerated at the end of this article
