Focusing on the qualitative aspects of aesthetic and moral emotions, this collection of studies delves into conceptual and semantic analyses. It serves as both a thematic and methodological introduction to the systematic interdisciplinary exploration of human emotionality, offering insights into how emotions shape our understanding of aesthetics and morality.

The monograph examines the issue of self-harm in adolescents, a high-risk behavior in which individuals intentionally cause themselves harm. Research in this area has produced significant disparities, with experts disagreeing on the definition and methods for identifying self-harm. The specifics of its occurrence, signs, risk and protective factors, and dynamics of development or prognosis are all unclear. The monograph aims to provide basic information on self-harm, its prevalence, and forms, as well as to clarify its formation and retention as a maladaptive coping strategy. Furthermore, it presents unique data from a multi-year research project on a group of adolescents and identifies potential areas for further research.
