Findings on metal research show an action-oriented, socially competent and less stressed community, opposing the assumption that metal reduces well-being and induces depression. Our study aimed to investigate the stress-reducing effects of metal for its fans and if this is influencing power experience. The idea is based on findings that indicate positive psychological and physical effects of music in general as well as the stress-reducing effects found for open, expansive gestures (e.g. ‘Metal gestures’). After stress was raised, participants listened either to metal or to classical music. While music was played, movements of half of the participants were blocked, thus, metal gestures were not possible. Metal music led to stress reduction of such blocked movements while classical music was found only to reduce stress when movements were not blocked. Stress reduction predicted the experience of power, but metal music and movements did not.

The article presents a comparative political analysis of peace journalism during the end of the Thirty Years’ War and the first decades of the Age of Enlightenment. The author believes that the Early Modern Period became the first peak of peace journalism, and peace congresses were the highest point of international
 communication. The Thirty Years’ War was the first religious-political conflict, during
 which information on military events, both officially propaganda and oppositional
 one, was spread throughout the continent. The article notes that it was peace
 journalism that gave the name to this long and destructive European war. Almost
 half a century later, from peace congresses in Ryswick (1697), and in Utrecht
 (1713), a new «medial type» appeared, which purpose was to periodically familiarize
 European society with the development of the negotiation process and comment
 on the events taking place. To convey events to the reading public and for propaganda
 the activities of sovereigns and governments, materials of peace congresses
 began to be published shortly after their conclusion.
 In general, by the Age of Enlightenment, the peace press had obviously changed, new international publications appeared, peace projects had been created, and the periodicals became more open and full of discussion. Many years of the
 conflict had contributed to the growing perception of Europe as an international
 community, and performative nature and congress journalism emphasized European character of peace and the protopatriotic moods evoked by the concept «Europe ». The author comes to the conclusion that the peace journalism of the studied period was a form of communication that perfectly reflected the contradictions and
 transformations in European society before, during and after the conclusion of
 peace, and, in general political terms, the developed the function of «enter» that characterized the subject political culture. It was like an indicator showing the level of political competition and helped contemporaries and descendants to look at the ongoing international transformations objectively.
