Analysis text 1 The article “Behavioral, psychological and physiological stress markers and academic performance in immigrant and non-immigrant preschool and school students” was written by the team of Spanish researchers and published in volume 225 of journal “Psychology and behavior”. The volume of article is 6 pages, 23500 characters and it consists 7 chapters: Introduction, Methods, Results, Discussion, limitation and future lines of research, Conclusion and Practical application. This article is relevant because the research results given in the article present that the number of educational migrants to European countries is increasing every year. In the research, the scientists relied on articles on articles in the field of medicine, medical biology, physiology, geopolitics and migration studies, published between 1999 and 2018. The main limitation of the study was a small number of international students. The difficulty was to get access to centers with a high number of international students. The difficulty was to get access to centers with a high number of international students. The financial limits didn’t allow analyzing the saliva for the content of hormones amylase and cortisol to complete the analysis of hormonal response to stress. Also it wasn’t possible to conduct a survey of the family, which would help to get the full picture of the motives and conditions that lead to movement between countries. The aim of this research was to analyze differences in behavioral, psychological and physiological stress markers and academic performance of students-immigrants and students with non-immigrant parents. The initial hypothesis was the students of immigrant parents would show higher rates of psychological and physiological stress different behavior and lower academic performance than students of non-immigrant parents. All the students who participated in the study filled out the survey for two weeks. The document contained their basic data. Similarly, the educational institutions have provided data on students and their subjective assessment allowed to objectively determine sympathetic and parasympathetic activation of in a non-inclusive, easily accessible and inexpensive way. Body mass index: this variable was calculated according the classical formula. Eating habits: for students were sent the questionnaire in which every day they had to indicate their habits. Academic performance: the researchers analyzed academic performance by the average number of points in all subjects that students received and by the questionnaire filled out by the teacher. Anxiety was measured using a validated anxiety questionnaire on the state of risk for children and adolescents. The results of the research are presented in 3 tables: Table 1: anthropometrical, psychological, physical activity and academic performance variables of immigrant and non-immigrant students. Table 2: heart rate variability results of students of immigrant and non-immigrant students. Table 3: nutritional habits of immigrant and non-immigrant students. The data from table 1 showed us that students-immigrants showed significantly lower height, weight and body mass index than students non-immigrants. There were no differences in personality traits, anxiety or physical activity habits. Regarding academic performance, nonimmigrant students showed higher scores than students with immigrant parents. The research found no significant difference in mean heart rate between non-immigrant and immigrant students. Only lower average heart rate was observed for students with immigrant parents especially at 8 and 10 years, showed us table 2. According to the table 3 in terms of eating habits immigrant students showed higher amounts of food per day, fast-food consumption than students from Spain with a negative high and moderate correlation between two groups. The results of the study were presented in full form, in a clear manner. The aim of this study was to analyze, differences in behavioral, psychological and physiological and physiobiological markers of stress and academic performance of students with immigrant-parents and students with non-immigrant parents. The initial hypothesis wasn’t confirmed, since students-immigrants showed the same indicators as students from the national population. An important element was the students of immigrant parents were born in Spain and speak both languages, which significantly reduces the difficulties of integration into the community and reduce academic problems and the level of stress about it. It should also be noted that in small towns the adaptation of immigrant children is easier than in large towns in the South of Spain. This was facilitated by an easy contact with a local population. But in other cases it was noticed that adaptation is harder for older children or adolescents, who started their education in foreign country, which created problems with social adaptation and academic performance. Then the inclusion of immigrant children in academic system at the early stages proved to be more effective than at later stages to facilitate their adaptation. It can also be noted that immigrant children academic achievements more than their peers with nation origin. This may be due to the fact that the teachers sometimes underestimate them and have prejudice against them. In general, this study can be useful and applicable to any country, taking into accounts its realities, since educational migration is becoming more popular from year to year. The result of this article is absence of significant differences in behavioral, psychological, physiological markers of stress and academic performance as well as the absence of any that could overall academic performance, eating habits or physical activity. The result may be logical because this article considered an example of migration form a country located in geographical proximity to the host country. For my research, I can use the methods used in the article to access the psychological status. Since any migration even for a short distance, even in one country, is an extreme situation, these methods may be interesting in study of physiology of extreme situations. On my own, I can only say that I agree with the results of this study because it reflects all the current problems of migrant, while adapting to new conditions: on the linguistic side – ignorance or insufficient level of knowledge of the language of the host country. On the psychological side – a new socio-cultural situation and possible prejudice on the part of the national population, on the psychological side-differences in climate and nutrition. All this was reflected in this article. The methods and the results obtained are relevant for each country, since there is no fundamental difference in the migration situation.
