This research explores the efficacy of 'split-day' hybrid work, where employees divide a single workday between office and home environments. The study aims to evaluate how this flexibility influences productivity, collaboration, and wellbeing compared to traditional full-day location models.
Optimizing Organizational Work Structures for Sustainable Human Performance
This research direction explores the relationship between various work arrangements—including duration, location, and flexibility—and the sustainable physical and cognitive capacity of employees. It seeks to move beyond traditional time-based metrics to evaluate how structural adjustments in work design influence productivity, wellbeing, and recovery across different types of professional tasks.
Multidimensional Assessment of Dream and Transitional States: Psychometric Validation of the MDEI-40
This research direction focuses on the psychometric validation of the Multidimensional Dream Experience Inventory (MDEI-40), a 40-item instrument designed to characterize states of consciousness ranging from sleep-related dreams to hypnagogic, hypnopompic, and waking hallucinatory experiences. The study aims to establish the instrument's reliability and construct validity, while also investigating the specific hypothesis that dream-related pain may arise from either the integration of external nociceptive stimuli or purely central, endogenous generation.
Cognitive Determinants of Literacy Profiles in High-Ability Children with Working Memory Deficits
This research explores the heterogeneity of literacy outcomes in high-ability children who exhibit significant working memory impairments. It seeks to identify the factors that differentiate children whose literacy challenges remain limited to fluency from those whose difficulties manifest in decoding accuracy and spelling.
Investigating Generative AI Impacts on Musical Participation and Cultural Diversity in Local Communities
The author argues that generative AI may reduce human participation in music, potentially diminishing cultural diversity. This study proposes an empirical investigation into how AI tools affect individual musical engagement and creative expression.
Comparative Analysis of Futures Studies Frameworks and Their Relationship to Cognitive and Developmental Crisis Models
This study examines the conceptual alignment between the Causal Layered Analysis (CLA) model and the Futures Iceberg model. It further explores how these futures-oriented frameworks intersect with psychological theories of crisis-induced belief re-evaluation and developmental growth models.
The Impact of Maternal Mindfulness Practice on Child Behavioral Outcomes and Parental Well-being in ADHD Contexts
