The dissociation of effects of age, time of assessment and cohort is a well-known challenge in developmental science. We examined effects of time of assessment in the school year on children's physical fitness using data from 75,362 German third-graders from seven cohorts. Children were tested once either in the first or second school term of third grade.

Throughout the next 2 years, schools were temporarily closed and social distancing measures were put in place to slow the spread of the Covid-19 virus. Did these social restrictions and temporary school lockdowns affect children's physical fitness? The EMOTIKON project annually tests the physical fitness of all third-graders in the Federal State of Brandenburg, Germany.

- The Cognitive Behavioral Analysis System of Psychotherapy (CBASP) model highlights empathy deficits as a key issue in persistent depressive disorders, particularly linked to past childhood maltreatment and social isolation.
- A study involving patients demonstrated that their empathy significantly decreased under stress, but improved after undergoing 12 weeks of CBASP treatment, indicating that empathy deficits are not constant but stress-dependent.
- The findings suggest that while people with persistent depressive disorders may not generally lack empathy, these deficits can worsen in stressful situations, leading to interpersonal conflicts; however, receiving CBASP treatment can help improve their empathic abilities and overall well-being.
