The Application of Positive Psychology in Virtual Workspaces and Remote Learning

2026-01-03T05:42:29+00:00

The widespread adoption of virtual workspaces and remote learning has transformed contemporary work and educational practices, offering increased flexibility and accessibility while simultaneously introducing psychological, social, and motivational challenges. Issues such as social isolation, reduced engagement, digital fatigue, and declining well-being have become prominent concerns in digitally mediated environments. Positive psychology, which focuses on strengths, well-being, and optimal human functioning, provides a valuable theoretical and practical framework for addressing these challenges. This article examines the application of positive psychology principles in virtual workspaces and remote learning contexts. Drawing on key theories such as the PERMA model, self-determination theory, flow theory, and growth mindset, the paper explores how positive emotions, engagement, relationships, meaning, and accomplishment can be fostered in digital environments. Practical strategies for enhancing employee well-being, motivation, social connection, and purpose in virtual work settings are discussed, alongside approaches for promoting student engagement, resilience, and community in remote learning. The article also considers the role of technology in supporting positive psychological outcomes, as well as the challenges and ethical considerations associated with digital well-being initiatives. Overall, the paper argues that the intentional integration of positive psychology into virtual work and learning environments is essential for promoting sustainable well-being, performance, and meaningful participation in an increasingly digital world.

The Role of Psychological Interventions in Chronic Illness Management

2026-01-03T05:45:13+00:00

Chronic illnesses pose complex challenges that extend beyond physical symptoms to include significant psychological, emotional, and social burdens. Individuals living with long-term conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancer, and chronic pain frequently experience depression, anxiety, stress, and reduced quality of life, which can negatively affect disease management and health outcomes. Increasing evidence highlights the critical role of psychological interventions in comprehensive chronic illness management. This article examines the psychological impact of chronic disease and explores the effectiveness of various psychological interventions, including cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness-based interventions, acceptance and commitment therapy, psychoeducation, supportive counseling, and group-based approaches. These interventions aim to enhance coping strategies, improve emotional resilience, promote treatment adherence, and support self-management behaviors. The integration of psychological care within multidisciplinary healthcare systems is discussed, emphasizing the biopsychosocial model of health. Additionally, the article addresses challenges to implementation, such as limited access to mental health services and stigma, and outlines future directions for improving psychological support in chronic disease care. Overall, psychological interventions are essential for improving mental well-being, quality of life, and physical health outcomes in individuals living with chronic illness.

Using Technology to Fight Impunity: An Examination of International Criminal Accountability over Time in Cases of Extradition

2026-01-10T10:45:30+00:00

The study aims to examine how impunity in international and transnational crimes has significantly undermined the effectiveness of the global criminal justice system, particularly in cases involving extradition. Traditionally bound by the state sovereignty, political goodwill and inefficiency of their processes the extradition systems tended to find more people who committed serious crimes such as war crimes, crimes against humanity, and new cyber-enabled crimes able to escape justice processes. This paper will analyse how technological innovation has gradually changed international criminal accountability over the years, specifically addressing extradition practices. It follows the historical development of extradition from bilateral, diplomacy-based agreements to modern, digitally integrated frameworks. It is a critical analysis of how digital tools can be utilised to enhance the efficiency, transparency, and reliability of extradition and cross-border investigations, including biometric identification systems, artificial intelligence, blockchain-based evidence management, real-time communication networks, and digital mutual legal assistance platforms. The paper relies on the analysis of doctrine, case studies, and recent academic literature to identify how technology has minimised jurisdictional holes, expedited judicial collaboration, and enhanced evidential plausibility. Simultaneously, it identifies unresolved legal and ethical issues concerning data privacy, algorithmic bias, sovereignty, and uneven technological capabilities across states. The issue that is developed in the paper is that as much as technology has emerged as a critical tool in the war against impunity, it should be legitimised through strong legal protection, ethical governance, and fair global collaboration. In the end, the paper points out that technologically facilitated extradition is not only a possibility, but a challenge to develop an even smoother and rights-observing system of global criminal justice.

Re-Mythologizing the Frontier, Jungian Archetypes and the American West in Red Dead Redemption 2

2026-01-30T09:15:29+00:00

This abstract explores how Rockstar Games’ Red Dead Redemption 2 () operates as a site for re-mythologization, critically engaging the foundational American Frontier Myth through the innovative platform of the open-world video game. Anchoring this analysis in Jungian Archetypal Criticism, this study asserts that RDR2 performs a cultural hermeneutic, moving beyond the mythic structures catalogued by Northrop Frye to deconstruct the “terrible burden of the American past” identified by Leslie Fiedler. The narrative arc of the protagonist, Arthur Morgan, exemplifies a late-stage, self-aware collapse of the classic Hero/Persona archetype. His journey is framed by a persistent confrontation with the Shadow, the inherent violence and epistemological failure of the vanishing American landscape The game’s interactive paratextuality, enabled by its open-world design, grants the player agency over Morgan’s ethical trajectory, thus transforming the passive reception of myth into a dynamic, ethical negotiation. This mechanism achieves a novel form of digital storytelling, challenging the traditional linearity of the quest romance. RDR2 functions as an elegiac counter-narrative, using cutting-edge simulation to examine the moral and historical anxieties of American culture. The paper contends that this interactive, technologically mediated experience is not a mere perpetuation of the myth, but a critical, self-reflexive sublimation of the Frontier, offering a compelling case study for the intersection of classical literary theory and contemporary popular media.
