Yevheniia Bazyka — 2023-09-02

The article is devoted to the study of the problem of psychological well-being of persons in the period of middle adulthood and the presentation of the results of the study of the relationship between emotional stability and psychological well-being in people aged 40 to 60 years.

Research results. It was determined that respondents who are competent in various spheres of life, in particular, in building positive relationships, feel comfortable and in high spirits. These results can be useful when working with persons who are in an uncomfortable state, a state of temporary maladaptation during social destabilization.

Conclusions. It has been proven that psychological well-being and mental state are closely related to people in middle adulthood. It was determined that a person's personal parameters, and not the situational state or the current situation, play a big role in the feeling of psychological well-being. A significant relationship between psychological well being and emotional stability has been established.

It is assumed that research into the relationship between anxiety, positive emotional states, and psychological well-being at different age periods and in different life situations will allow us to identify features characteristic of many people who, one way or another, strive to achieve success in life.

Prospects are foreseen in the identification of sources of anxiety and positive emotions that change over the course of life, with the accumulation of social experience when the surrounding environment changes.

THE PHENOMENON OF SOCIAL ACCOMMODATION AS A SUBJECT OF SCIENTIFIC ANALYSIS

Kateryna Bazylenko — 2023-09-02

In the article, the author conducted a theoretical analysis of modern psychological literature on the problem of social accommodation and determined that social accommodation includes various psychological components that affect the way people interact and adapt to others in social situations. The psychological components of social accommodation may vary from individual to individual, but developing and improving these skills can contribute to improved social accommodation and interactions with other people. Social accommodation is the process by which an individual changes his or her behavior, speech, or thoughts to meet the demands or expectations of another person or social situation. Social accommodation can be conscious or unconscious, sometimes it is use to reduce conflict or ensure harmonious social interaction. Social accommodation usually aims to ensure harmonious social interaction and avoid conflicts in specific situations.

The purpose of the article is to conduct a theoretical analysis of modern research in psychological science and reveal the essence of the phenomenon of social accommodation.

Social accommodation can be an important element of social adaptability, but it is important to remember that accommodation must balance; sometimes its excessive use can lead to the loss of one's own identity or need.

The study of social accommodation in psychology and other social sciences is an important and dynamic direction, since the perspectives of further research may be the study of the influence of cultural factors on social accommodation and the study of social accommodation, which can help to better understand the ways of resolving conflicts and conducting effective negotiations, as well as the influence of social accommodations for attitudes towards oneself and others, etc.

RESOURCEFULNESS OF THE IMAGE OF THE FUTURE WORLD IN STRATEGIES FOR OVERCOMING STRESS AND FORMING AN INDIVIDUAL TIME PERSPECTIVE

Iryna Dobrynina — 2023-09-02

Problem statement. It is shown that an important aspect of the phenomenon of the image of the future is its role in overcoming stress and forming an individual temporal perspective. The deployment of full-scale combat operations on the territory of Ukraine led to the fact that the individual time horizon of personal planning became short-term. People are in a state of acute stress. A positive attitude towards the future contributes to the effectiveness of an individual's activity and creates cognitive, adaptive and contextual resources. This contributes to the improvement of a person's mental health. The question of the resourcefulness of a positive representation of the image of the future has been little studied in psychological science.

The purpose of the article is to present the results of an empirical study of the resourcefulness of the image of the future in strategies for overcoming stress and forming an individual time perspective.

Results of the research. The features of the internal structure of the image of the future are determined through the following components: Future clarity, Future reliability, Future positivity and Future activity. It is shown that the components of the image of the future have a direct effect on the coping strategies: Expanding the view of the problem, Search for resources, Focusing on the positive and the reverse effect on the coping strategy Rejection of action. It was found that the components of the image of the future have a direct effect on the "Future" component in the time perspective and an inverse effect on the "Future negative" component in the time perspective.

Conclusions and prospects for further research. It is concluded that a positive and active attitude to the future enables respondents to act in relation to future stressors by reassessing the situation, shifting the focus of attention from negative aspects to positive ones, and moving away from its dangerous influence. It is noted that in order for the orientation to the future to be expressive and to realize the purposefulness of the personality, the clarity of future contours and active efforts to rebuild it are necessary.

Prospects for further research will be the study and identification of the construct "Types of coping in the temporal perspective", which can be defined as the interaction of the personality with stress in a temporal context.

PROCRASTINATION AS A FACTOR OF EMOTIONAL ATTITUDE TOWARDS THE FUTURE

Vladyslav Dolhonosenko — 2023-09-02

The relevance of studying the phenomenon of procrastination and its causes is constantly increasing In connection with the development and acceleration of scientific and technical progress. Modern society is oriented towards achievements. A person is constantly in the conditions of fulfilling obligations, which require compliance with deadlines. Issues of personal effectiveness, achievement of success and well-being are especially important. But staying in these conditions is increasingly reduced to procrastination, a phenomenon that becomes an obstacle to personal and professional effectiveness. The above forms the high interest of the scientific community to the study of the phenomenon of procrastination.

The article highlights the phenomenon of procrastination – a great psychological phenomenon that focuses not only on violations of the emotional and volitional sphere of the individual or psychological defenses. The article is also filled with a meaningful analysis of types of procrastination (domestic, that is, daily; neurotic; academic; compulsive) and consideration of their specific features. The determinants of procrastination and its serious consequences, which are traced as a certain psychological state, are considered: stress, a strong decrease in motivation, an obsessive sense of guilt, loss of productivity, and a decrease in self-esteem.

It was revealed that the problem lies in the negative consequences of procrastination on a person's professional activity, on a decrease in personal productivity, work capacity, which is manifested in an acute emotional experience of personal failure and dissatisfaction with one's own work, as well as one's own results in the professional environment. Being as a stable model of behavior, procrastination is quite difficult to correct, the work will be effective only if the cause of the problem is determined and a person realizes what internal resources and potential he has.

PROBLEMS OF SOCIO-PSYCHOLOGICAL ADAPTATION OF THE UNEMPLOYED IN QUARANTINE CONDITIONS

Nataliia Kantarova — 2023-09-02

The article provides a comprehensive theoretical, methodological and applied approach to the study of the features of the social and psychological adaptation of the unemployed in quarantine conditions. The introduction of the self-isolation regime and the transition of many organizations and institutions to remote or remote work has shaken the economic situation in the world, including in Ukraine. Being in a situation of uncertainty for a long time has become a challenge for many people, including the unemployed. We know about epidemics and pandemics in human history. However, there are few psychological studies in this field. Therefore, studying the problems of socio- psychological adaptation of the unemployed to new living conditions and providing psychological recommendations is particularly relevant.

The purpose of the article is to study some socio psychological problems of adaptation of the unemployed in quarantine conditions. The following methods were used: diagnostic method of social and psychological adaptation; test of meaningful orientations; a method of self-assessment research.

The results of the study indicate that as a result of job loss, personal characteristics, and stress factors, the unemployed have impaired socio-psychological adaptation. They experience a crisis of the meaning of life, and it manifests itself more acutely in men. In a situation of unemployment, a person is transformed as a subject of both professional activity and integral life activities. It was found that the loss of a job is perceived not only as a break in ties with the working environment that a professional needs, but also as a loss of the ability to build an individual life path. The topic under study is quite new and poorly developed and requires further detailed research and improvement of methods of psychological correction of the unemployed person's personality.

FEATURES OF PERSONAL ADAPTATION RESOURCES IN CONDITIONS OF THE RUSSIAN-UKRAINIAN WAR

Nadiia Kolohryvova — 2023-09-02

The article is devoted to the analysis and systematization of the concepts "personality adaptation", "personality adaptation resources", "viability", "adaptation potential" that exist in psychological literature. An analysis of options for personal adaptation in war conditions is given, as well as various classifications of personal resources, their criteria and properties. The individual's own approach to understanding the phenomena of personal adaptation in the conditions of military conflict and personal adaptive resources is indicated. Factors of adaptability and possibilities of maximum formation of personal resources in the conditions of martial law are considered.

One of the most important issues not only for Ukraine, but also for the whole world based on the Ukrainian experience, is the research and development of adaptive resources of the individual in the conditions of martial law and in general in the conditions of the protection of Ukraine during the Russian-Ukrainian war and after it.

Both domestic and foreign publications devoted to the topic of the analysis of the adaptive resources of the individual during the Russian-Ukrainian war are extremely few at the moment due to the lack of analogues of a similar situation in modern European life. That is why this issue is so unique both for the European space and for the entire international community.

Both since 2014, and even more massively - since February 24, 2022, there is an incredible, very large, psychological and emotional burden not only on the entire Ukrainian society, but also on each individual person due to military actions on the territory of Ukraine.

The main problem for every person in such conditions is the need to constantly strengthen personal resources in order to be able to adapt not only to rapidly changing socio-economic conditions, but also to compensate for the feeling of a threat to one's life and loved ones every moment. After all, if a person had to save himself and his family, then he needed to evacuate from the place of hostilities, leaving all his property, household, or move to the safest places in his native Ukraine (although there was still a periodic air raid and the threat of Russian missile strike) or emigrate to other countries that support Ukraine, or for some time be forced to live under conditions of temporary occupation by Russian troops.

PSYCHOLOGICAL FEATURES ADAPTATIONS OF CHILDREN IN THE CONDITIONS OF WAR AND EMIGRATION

Oksana Kononenko — 2023-09-02

The article notes that, despite a fairly wide study, the problem of researching the peculiarities of the psychological adaptation of emigrant children in modern conditions is gaining special relevance due to the war that is currently ongoing in Ukraine. Migration processes lead to the emergence of a whole set of problems, which are characterized by a certain specificity and require their immediate and detailed solution.

In psychological science, the problem of adaptation of refugees and forced migrants has become widespread, but despite a fairly wide study, the problem of researching the peculiarities of the psychological adaptation of immigrant children in modern conditions is gaining special relevance.

The purpose of the article is to conduct a theoretical and empirical study of the psychological features of children's adaptation in the conditions of war and emigration.

Adaptation of immigrant children to the conditions of a new country depends on various factors, such as age, gender, previous experience of international mobility, level of support from relatives and social environment.

Based on the conducted research, it is worth coming to the conclusion that the adaptation of children in conditions of emigration is a complex process that requires special attention and approach. Studies have shown that immigrant children have their own unique psychological characteristics associated with a change in environment, cultural context, and language situation. It is important to develop methodological approaches and tools to study and support the adaptation of these children, providing them with psychological support and resources for successful integration. A comparative analysis of emigrant children and children studying on the territory of Ukraine allows to understand the specifics of their development, to identify similar and different factors of adaptation that can be used to build effective programs and approaches in the field of education and psychological support .

PROFESSIONAL PERSONALITY IDENTITY: THEORETICAL REVIEW OF MODERN RESEARCH

Anatoliy Kononenko — 2023-09-02

The development of professional identity should take into account self-development, which is directly related to professional development. Self-esteem is self-understanding and conscious assessment of one's own personality qualities, thoughts, words, and actions. Thus, self-esteem affects the effectiveness of one's own activities and the activities of other people, as well as overcoming difficulties in solving the set tasks.

Mastering the structure of students' professional motivation and perception of motivation allows you to reasonably solve promotion problems, correctly navigate the choice of specialty, build a professional career, study remotely, and obtain the necessary knowledge for future work. In conditions of instability, this significantly affects the responsibility and desire to acquire education.

The purpose of the article is to conduct a theoretical and methodological review of the state of development of the problem of the professional identity of personality.

The phenomenon of "professional identity" is quite new in psychology, its purposeful study began at the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th centuries, when it became a question of a person's professional self-determination and the aspect of the attitude of the greatest was aimed at abilities, and not at the acquisition of knowledge.

The personality goes through many stages of development and, accordingly, changes, both physiological and valuable, understands his abilities and chooses his profession more than once, which enables the personality to develop throughout his life.

Each of these stages of personality development brings its own skills and understanding, forming a stable image of professional identity, i.e. the individual identifies himself with the future professional activity, sometimes changing the chosen profession radically, and this leads to the acquisition of new skills, but the process itself knowledge of personality, in our opinion, the most important process, especially in the current difficult time, almost every person is faced with a radical review of both his life and his professional activity.

COMPONENTS OF SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY PERSONALITIES: SOCIAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL CONTENT

Oleksandr Lukashov — 2023-09-02

The article reveals the socio-psychological content of the components of social responsibility of an individual. It is shown that the social responsibility of an individual is defined as a moral and value stable personal formation, which includes a strategy of social behavior of an individual, where the basis is a conscious attitude to voluntary, active performance of social roles, in accordance with one's actions and their consequences, values and norms of society, as well as ready to be responsible for the obtained result. It is emphasized that social responsibility is revealed in the following structural components: value-normative (sociocentric motivation, egocentric motivation, etc.), cognitive-informational (cognitive consciousness, awareness, etc.), affective-empathic (sthenic emotionality, asthenic emotionality, sincerity and etc.), organizational-communicative (dynamic ergicity, dynamic aergy, difficulties, etc.), result-active (object effectiveness, subject effectiveness, etc.), reflexive-prognostic (regulatory internality, regulatory externality, etc.). The conducted study of the components of social responsibility revealed the specificity of their interrelationships depending on the length of professional activity, as well as evidenced an increase in the level of responsibility to the level of hyperresponsibility. Professionally and socially responsible respondents are aware of themselves as a subject of activity, show social activity, initiative, control their educational and professional activities.

INTERPRETATION OF THE CONCEPT OF "IDENTITY" IN MODERN SOCIO-PSYCHOLOGICAL PROJECTIONS

Nadiia Petruk — 2023-09-02

The article provides a theoretical analysis of approaches to the definition of identity, such as psychoanalytic, symbolic interactionism, socio cultural, cognitive, continuum-hierarchical, narrative. The concept of "identity" is considered from the point of view of the structure or process. The article updates the narrative approach to the study of the process of forming identity. In general, the representatives of the narrative approach to the study of personality argue that the formation of identity is possible when the experience is redrawind of experience with the help of stories - narratives. This approach will allow to study the experience of the person, which is the basis of the concept of identity; as a result of conscious narratives of the individual about the past, present and future, the identity will be formed.

Such mechanisms of identity construction as identification, introjection (psychoanalytic approach); active internalization and language (symbolic interactionism); cognitive, motivational, emotional, value mechanisms (socio-cultural approach) are considered; assimilation, accommodation and evaluation (continuum-hierarchical approach); social categorization, social identification, social comparison, imitation, internalization, adaptation, assimilation (cognitive approach); reflexive and value-semantic mechanisms (narrative approach). The article focuses on the reflexive and value- semantic mechanisms, because they enable the individuals to analyze, realize and construct their own identity.

THE PLACE OF TEMPORARY COMPETENCE IN THE STRUCTURE OF PERSONALITY

Liliia Poleshchuk — 2023-09-02

The article discusses topical issues of the competence approach to the study of personality and temporal competence. The main areas of application of the competence approach are analyzed: in the field of education, in special pedagogy and psychology, in management and law enforcement activities. The role of temporal competence in personality development is revealed. Part of the empirical research on ontogenetic and professional reflection as a part of temporal competence is represented.

Temporal competence and its varieties directly affect every person at any age and can be considered one of the key competences of the individual. Among the numerous types of competence (life, psychological, subject, curricular, situational, personal and self development competence, etc.), it is time that not only occupies a special status in the structure of the personality, but is also an important component of it, since during life a person must rationally manage the allotted time, predict the future events of your life, build time perspectives of your achievements, reflect on the acquired life experience and implement it in your personal and professional life. Time competence not only helps to predict awareness of time, emotional attitude towards it, organization of time in professional and personal life, but also the formation of such important personality characteristics as high stress resistance, emotional stability, self-realization, which allows it to be considered as an important element in the personality structure.

The importance of the formation of temporal competence at various stages of ontogenesis should be based on the characteristics of the personality, temperament, previous life experience, etc. Considering temporal competence as an important element of personality, special attention should be paid to reflective abilities regarding the analysis of the development of life experience in a temporal sweep and regarding the reflection of professional activity.

EMOTIONAL COMPETENCE AS THE BASIS OF PROFESSIONAL SUCCESS

Tetyana Chernyavska — 2023-09-02

Problem statement. The article presents the results of a theoretical study of the problem of emotional competence. It is shown that emotional competence is an important aspect of professional success.

The formation and development of emotional competence of specialists allows them to achieve success in the professional sphere, and also allows to avoid psycho-emotional disorders and preserve mental ealth.

Concepts of competence mainly focus on the mental processes that underlie the activity, on the knowledge that arises as a result of these processes and its organization, on conscious practice, or on talent or innate abilities.

The processes that distinguish an expert from a novice include the following processes: planning, tracking, evaluation of problem solving, decision making. Experts and novices provide information differently; the former develop more complex strategies and activity monitoring than the latter.

The success of professional activity also depends on personal qualities: a stable and positive system of relations with one's own inner and surrounding world, as well as the level of formation and development of emotional intelligence; specialists who better understand and manage their own emotions, adapt more easily to stressful and crisis conditions, are more proactive and responsible.

The purpose of the article is to study the problem of emotional competence as the basis of professional success.

Results of the research. Based on the above, we conclude that emotional competence can be considered as a psychological phenomenon that reflects the emotional maturity of an individual and summarizes the emotional, intellectual and regulatory components of the psyche involved in the process of achieving professional and personal goals.

Emotional competence has such a significant impact on many aspects of a person's professional life and professional activities. The study of this problem helps to reveal the key mechanisms underlying professional success. The results of such studies can be used to develop education and training programs aimed at improving the emotional competence of employees, as well as to form a better understanding of how important it is to combine professional knowledge with the skills of effective interpersonal communication and interaction to achieve professional success.
