The study is aimed at the clarification of the role of perceived stress in the process of developing burnout which belongs with the major research challenges in helping professions (Lloyd, King & Chenoweth, 2002). Research sample consisted of students of helping professions who completed the Maslach Burnout Inventory for students (MBI-SS) and Perceived Stress Scale and Emotional Habitual Subjective Well-being Scale. It was hypothesized that higher level of perceived stress would be linked with higher level of burnout. Burnout was expected to be correlated with frequent experiencing of negative emotions and less often experiencing of positive emotions. The side objective of the research was to examine the psychometric properties of the Slovak version of the MBI SS, which was translated from the original English version by Schaufeli et al. (2002). The interpretation of other results is discussed in the paper.

The aim of this paper at the theoretical level was to characterize risk behaviour on the Internet including its forms. In the theoretical part of the paper, the authors clarified, among other things, the issue of loneliness and outlined the most common causes of loneliness. The authors defined loneliness from the viewpoint of adolescence as a developmental period. At the empirical level, the aim of the authors was to identify differences in the incidence of risk behaviour on the Internet in adolescents in terms of their socio-demographic characteristics. Another goal was to point out the correlations between risk behaviour on the Internet and loneliness.
