“…Likewise, those exercising in a group may feel pressured to do so and prefer to exercise alone. Another factor of influence could be the individual's character in terms of introversion or extroversion, meaning extroverts might shift their behaviour within the gym according to that current environment, whereas introverts will most likely stay at a more balanced state according to their usual subjective motivational levels (Petric, 2022). Differentiating as such helps develop more nuanced interpretations of the exercise behaviours of, say, older people, who appear to be more likely to exercise alone.…”

This paper presents a study of exercise behaviours among Maltese gym users where it seeks to understand what factors govern choices among gym users to exercise either alone or in a group. It is argued that being able to predict the propensity to exercise alone or in a group presents an opportunity for fitness providers to organise their efforts more efficiently in the broader context of contributing to improving public health and, therefore, possibly providing a more relevant gym product. Exercise and fitness literature highlights various factors likely to influence participants’ proclivities to exercise solo or in a group, including motivation, competitiveness, sporting background, age, and gender. To explore the possible influences of such factors in the Maltese context, a cross-sectional survey was carried out via an online questionnaire, which was analysed statistically using logistic regression. This was conducted by first incorporating the above factors with a propensity to exercise alone or in a group as the dependent binary outcome. Finally, a most parsimonious model was applied following a stepwise iterated process of factor elimination. The results show that gender and age were the most significant predictors of training modality, with being male increasing the likelihood of engaging in solo gym exercise behaviour by over five times. Increased age was also a significant predictor of exercising alone. We present a discussion of the findings in terms of exercise and fitness service provision, as well as broader issues related to the interaction between gym culture and gender norms.

“…Ibragimov (2022) explored sociophobia as a medical condition and correlated anxiety disorder with suicidal thoughts in people; M. Loppies et al (2020) analysed the impact of students' introversion on the learning process; M. Johnson (2021) examined the features of sociopathy and separated it from the concepts of psychopathy and autism; L.E. Christie (2020) analysed murderers with mental disorders in her work and identified possible causes of sociopathy and psychopathy in people; D. Petric (2022) distinguished between the concepts of introversion, extraversion and ambivalence, and identified their main features.…”

Learning foreign languages, in particular English, which is widely spoken internationally, is an important and compulsory part of the educational process in all types of educational institutions. A particularly relevant issue is using modernised teaching tools that can improve the efficiency of the foreign language learning process. The purpose of the study was to identify effective approaches to implementing interactive methods of teaching English. The study uses several methodological tools, namely: analysis, synthesis, comparison, abstraction, and deduction. A survey was conducted among students in grades 2-11 to test the attitude of students to interactive forms of learning and the effectiveness of these new approaches. As a result, it was established that the interactive approach to organising the learning process is the most effective when compared to other methods, as it both accelerates the process of teaching a foreign language, including English and increases its effectiveness. It is proved that interactive teaching methods can be divided into several categories, depending on the actors who implement them and the ways they are used. The study identified that this approach to the learning process ensures the quality development of students' speaking, writing, reading and listening skills. It demonstrates the systematic nature of the interactive approach and the possibility of using it to teach various subjects. The survey identified the level of students' readiness and interest in interactive foreign language learning. The practical value of the research is that it can be used by teachers in preparation for English language classes, and the development of educational plans and programmes at schools

“…Sigmund Freud referred to it as the id, the unconscious structure of the psyche. He compared it to hunger, the desire for power, and so on, claiming that it is an essential human instinct [8]. Freud proposed a series of developmental stages in which the libido fixates on different erogenous zones, beginning with the oral stage (exemplified by an infant's pleasure in nursing), then the anal stage, the phallic stage, a latency stage, and finally the genital stage at puberty.…”

Libido is a sexual desire or drive. Libido is biological desire’s emotional energy, especially sexual desire. Biopsychosocial variables affect libido. Biologically, sex hormones and nucleus accumbent neurotransmitters (mainly testosterone and dopamine) govern human desire. Working, family, mentality, and stress might affect libido. Medical disorders, drugs, lifestyle, relationships, and age might affect libido (e.g., puberty). Hypersexuality is having frequent or suddenly increased sexual impulses; hyposexuality is the opposite. In psychoanalytic thought, libido is a mental drive or energy, connected with sexual instinct but is also present in other innate urges. A man may want sex but not be able to act on it, or may not for medical, moral, or religious reasons. Repressing or sublimating an urge is psychological. One can participate in sexual activity without a sire. Stress, illness, and pregnancy affect sperm drive. Testosterone, estrogen, progesterone, oxytocin, and norepinephrine act as serotonin This book chapter talks about how functional foods such as spinach, dark chocolate, peppers, green tea, oysters, crab, and pumpkin seeds, which contain neurotransmitters, affect libido.
