1. Analiza reprezentacij medvrstniškega nasilja v izbranih slovenskih spletnih medijih : magistrsko deloKatja Kolednik, 2025, magistrsko delo Opis: V magistrskem delu smo se posvetili analizi reprezentacij medvrstniškega nasilja, ki jih ponujajo izbrani slovenski spletni mediji. V teoretičnem delu smo opredelili kompleksnost pojava medvrstniškega nasilja in pojasnili njegove bistvene sestavine. Pojasnili smo tudi pomen družbene senzibilnosti na nasilje med vrstniki ter pomen ustreznega ukrepanja pri zaznavanju tega pojava. Največji poudarek smo namenili vlogi medijev pri reprezentaciji medvrstniškega nasilja, s čimer smo se ukvarjali tudi v empiričnem delu. Objektiven nabor v raziskovalnem vzorcu obsega 507 poljudnoznanstvenih člankov, objavljenih med letoma 2006 in 2024 ter prosto dostopnih na slovenskih spletnih platformah. Namen kvalitativne metode analize omenjenih vsebin je bil ugotoviti, kako slovenski spletni mediji obravnavani pojav prikazujejo svojemu občinstvu. Ugotovili smo, da mediji nakazujejo na naraščajoč trend tako vidnih kot tudi prikritih oblik medvrstniškega nasilja. Prikazujejo, da so tako v vlogi povzročitelja kot tudi žrtve najpogosteje pripadniki moškega spola. Najpogosteje izpostavljajo vidne oblike nasilja, posebej fizično nasilje, kot lokacijo dogajanja pa šolsko okolje. Spolno in spletno nasilje obravnavajo kot manj vidni obliki nasilja, v nekaterih primerih pa mediji izpostavljajo tudi etnično pripadnost vključenih. Kot najpogostejši dinamizatorji tega pojava so se pokazali posamezne organizacije ter strokovnjaki tega področja, ugotovili pa smo tudi povečanje splošne družbene senzibilnosti na obravnavani pojav.

2. Introduction: Why another study on COVID-19 and youth? : introduction to the YO-VID22 project main publicationAndrej Naterer, Dunja Potočnik, 2025, samostojni znanstveni sestavek ali poglavje v monografski publikaciji Opis: The introductory chapter outlines the methodological design and rationale of the YO-VID22 project, which investigated the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on youth well-being and support structures in Croatia and Slovenia. Employing a mixed-method approach, the study combined large-scale quantitative nationally representative surveys with qualitative methods, which included focus groups, expert interviews, and media content analysis. Quantitative data were collected through stratified online surveys on nationally representative samples of 16-29-year-olds, which enabled comparisons with pre-pandemic datasets. Qualitative components provided more profound insights into lived experiences, institutional responses, and public discourse surrounding youth. Focus groups captured peer-based dynamics and shared cultural values, while expert interviews highlighted systemic adaptations and policy gaps. At the same time, media analysis revealed shifting portrayals of young people in the public sphere. This integrated research design ensured both statistical robustness and contextual richness, and offered comprehensive evidence for understanding youth experiences during the pandemic and informing future policy and academic debates.

3. Life satisfaction and aspects of subjective well-being of youth as indicators of youth mental health : pre-pandemic, pandemic, and post-pandemic perspectivesSandra Antulić Majcen, Andrej Naterer, Gordana Kuterovac Jagodić, 2025, samostojni znanstveni sestavek ali poglavje v monografski publikaciji Opis: This chapter examines youth well-being in Croatia and Slovenia before, during, and after the COVID-19 pandemic, with particular emphasis on mental health outcomes. Findings reveal a marked decline in life satisfaction across family life, friendships, and body image, with negative changes disproportionately affecting girls and young people of lower socio-economic status. During the pandemic, around one-fifth of respondents reported rarely or never experiencing positive emotions, while one-third frequently encountered negative states such as sadness, fear, or anger. Loneliness emerged as a significant concern, particularly among girls, though age-specific patterns differed between the two countries. Despite this, most young people retained access to supportive social networks, which served as an important protective factor. On the other hand, the post-pandemic period showed improvements in subjective well-being, which included stronger social connectedness and more positive emotional states. However, persistent vulnerabilities remain, particularly among girls, the youngest cohort, and youth from disadvantaged backgrounds.

4. Family and partnershipDanijela Lahe, Andrej Naterer, 2025, samostojni znanstveni sestavek ali poglavje v monografski publikaciji Opis: This chapter examines how the COVID-19 pandemic reshaped family relationships, partnerships, and youth well-being in Croatia and Slovenia. The findings reveal that family ties acted both as a protective buffer and a source of strain. Slovenian youth reported significant declines in satisfaction with family life and parent-child relationships, likely linked to strict lockdowns, economic pressures, and rising individualism. In contrast, Croatian youth demonstrated greater relational stability, reflecting strong familial norms and resilience reinforced during concurrent crises. Friendships weakened in both countries, particularly in Slovenia, while romantic partnerships proved comparatively stable, with evidence of accelerated cohabitation among Croatian youth. Across both contexts, mothers and family networks remained the dominant influence on young people's key decisions. Mental health, however, emerged as the most negatively affected domain. Policy implications stress the need for targeted family support, expanded youth mental health services, and programmes that rebuild peer connections and address evolving aspirations for family life.

5. Support structures and intergenerational support during and after the COVID-19 pandemicDunja Potočnik, Andrej Naterer, 2025, samostojni znanstveni sestavek ali poglavje v monografski publikaciji Opis: This chapter examines the role of formal and informal support structures in shaping the well-being and resilience of youth in Croatia and Slovenia. In both countries, families remain the most important support system, particularly mothers, who are consistently identified as central figures in providing emotional and practical assistance. While peers also play a crucial role, the pandemic disrupted these relationships and reduced opportunities for in-person interaction. Institutional support, such as educational and employment services, remains important but often perceived as inaccessible or poorly adapted to the actual needs of youth. At the same time, a low level of trust in political institutions and the welfare system was observed, particularly in Croatia, which reinforces reliance on familial networks. Digital platforms increasingly serve as alternatives for connection and advice, although they cannot replace interpersonal support. Policy implications stress the need to expand accessible, youth-centred services, including mental health care, career guidance, and community-based initiatives. Strengthening institutional trust and investing in participatory frameworks would help diversify support beyond families and foster more resilient pathways for young people's social integration and life transitions.

6. Slovenian and Croatian youth and their civic and political participationAndrej Naterer, Anja Gvozdanović, 2025, samostojni znanstveni sestavek ali poglavje v monografski publikaciji Opis: This chapter investigates civic and political participation among youth in Croatia and Slovenia, with a focus on trends before and after the COVID-19 pandemic. Using survey and qualitative data, it reveals persistently low levels of institutional political engagement, particularly in Croatia, where trust in political institutions remains among the lowest in the EU. Slovenian youth demonstrate slightly higher but still modest levels of electoral participation, with generational disillusionment evident in both contexts. At the same time, non-institutional forms of engagement, such as protests, online activism, and issue-based mobilisation, have grown, especially around environmental, social justice, and corruption-related concerns. The pandemic accelerated the use of digital tools for political expression, though digital activism rarely translated into sustained offline participation. Structural barriers, including precarious employment and weak civic education, further limit youth engagement, while many express feelings of political inefficacy and marginalisation. Policy implications call for stronger investment in civic education, mechanisms for youth-inclusive decision-making, and platforms that bridge online and offline participation to revitalise democratic trust and empower young citizens.

7. Two Countries, One Crisis : The YO-VID22 Pandemic Study2025, znanstvena monografija Opis: The publication analyzes the experiences, values, and well-being of young people in Croatia and Slovenia before, during, and after the Covid-19 pandemic. The results show that the pandemic worsened physical and mental health, with young women being the most affected. In addition to stress, social isolation intensified, strongly reinforcing feelings of loneliness, while housing and financial barriers limited independence, especially among disadvantaged and urban youth. Mental health problems, particularly stress, depression, and burnout, remain widespread, and the pandemic further exacerbated these issues. In this context, Croatian youth report stronger family support, whereas Slovenian youth experienced more tension within the family environment. Regarding political participation, Croatian youth are evidently disappointed and passive, while Slovenian youth are more active. A general decline in trust and solidarity in both groups points to the need for inclusive policies to improve youth well-being.

8. Mental health and social trust : age and religiosity as moderators among young people in Croatia and SloveniaMinea Rutar, Andrej Naterer, Miran Lavrič, 2025, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: This study explored the moderating effects of age and religiosity on the relationship between social trust and mental health among young people aged 16–29 in Croatia (N = 1,177) and Slovenia (N = 1,227). Mental health was evaluated using two distinct measures: the Burnout Assessment Tool (BAT) and the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS-9). Social trust was assessed as trust in close family members and generalised trust. Religiosity was measured by religious service attendance, the importance of God in daily life, and support received from religious organisations. The findings indicate that age moderates the relationship between trust in close family members and BAT in both countries, and the relationship between trust in close family and DASS in Croatia. In terms of religiosity, all three dimensions significantly moderated the relationship between generalised trust and DASS in Croatia, while only one of them did so when BAT was used as the dependent variable. No significant moderation effects of religiosity were found in Slovenia. In summary, the results suggest that the negative psychological impact of low social trust can be mitigated through various mechanisms. The moderating effect of age implies that psychosocial maturation during adolescence may buffer the impact of low trust in close family on mental health. Religiosity, on the other hand, may act as an emotional substitute for generalised trust, especially in highly religious contexts. Additionally, the study highlights the importance of the chosen mental health indicator, as moderating effects varied depending on whether BAT or DASS-9 was applied.

9. Thematic exploration of Slovenia’s path to independence in Slovenian Scopus-indexed history journals : a bibliometric and sociometric analysisDavid Hazemali, Mateja Matjašič Friš, Andrej Naterer, 2024, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: This article explores how Slovenian history journals have portrayed Slovenia’s path to independence. The analysis of 3,759 articles and other journal contributions from 12 Scopus-indexed journals, using select digital humanities tools and methods, reveals that themes concerning Slovenia’s path to independence, though less frequent overall, exhibit a dynamic pattern of regular occurrence, influenced by commemorations and special issues of journals. This suggests growing scholarly interest over time. The analysis identified four key thematic groups: Socio-cultural, Political, Religious, and Yugoslavia themes. Furthermore, metadata analysis indicates a balanced distribution of male and female first authors and equitable thematic accessibility across publication languages. These findings contribute to a nuanced understanding of how Slovenian Scopus-indexed history journals engage with this critical topic.

10. Osebna asistenca in asistenti družinski člani ter psihosocialno blagostanje uporabnikov osebne asistence : Magistrsko deloIris Fras, 2024, magistrsko delo Opis: Pričujoče magistrsko delo se je osredotočalo na osebno asistenco, na uporabnike osebne asistence in na osebne asistente, ki so družinski člani uporabnika, ter na tiste asistente, ki niso družinski člani uporabnika osebne asistence. Naš namen je bil ugotoviti, kako družinski status vpliva na kvaliteto opravljanja osebne asistence in posledično na psihosocialno blagostanje uporabnikov. Za raziskovanje smo uporabili kvalitativno metodo delno standardiziranih intervjujev in metodo opazovanja z udeležbo. Kvalitativna analiza je pokazala, da so uporabniki zadovoljni tako z osebnimi asistenti, ki so njihovi družinski člani, kot tudi z osebnimi asistenti, ki niso njihovi družinski člani. Osebni asistenti so namreč tisti, ki z uporabniki preživljajo čas, ki je namenjen zgolj in samo njihovim individualnim potrebam in željam, kar pa pozitivno vpliva na psihosocialno blagostanje uporabnika osebne asistence ne glede na družinski status osebnega asistenta. Rezultati so pokazali, da osebna asistenca generalno pozitivno vpliva na uporabnikovo počutje in psihosocialno blagostanje, kar so potrdile tudi druge raziskave. Uporabnikom namreč predstavlja orodje za doseganje samostojnejšega oziroma neodvisnega življenja, prav tako pa jim predstavlja sredstvo za vključevanje v širšo družbo, saj jim omogoča povečanje socialnih stikov in udejstvovanje v prostočasnih aktivnostih. S pričujočim delom smo želeli opozoriti na pomembnost osebne asistence za invalidne osebe in osvetliti obstoječo problematiko sistemske ureditve na tem področju. Predlagamo, da se vpliv osebne asistence na psihosocialno blagostanje uporabnikov ter aktualna problematika še bolj podrobno raziščeta v prihodnosti.
