The article analyzes the results of an empirical study of Moldovan youth on the perception of their group in the past, present and future. The sample consisted of 200 respondents, Moldovans, university students in Chisinau. The basis for dividing the group of Moldovan youth into “optimists” and “pessimists” was their attitude to the future of their ethnic group. An empirical study of the characteristics of the perception of their group in the time perspective among young people of Moldovans revealed a great variability from “optimists”, who accounted for 43%, to “pessimists”, – 29%, which, according to researchers, is a reflection of the socio-cultural transformations taking place in Moldovan society.

AimTo present the epidemiology and psychological predictors of Internet Addiction (IA) among Greek University students.MethodsThis random sample consisted of 3545 students, drawn from 24 higher education institutions (1618/1927 M/F, mean age 20.12 ± 2.4 years). The survey was conducted in the 4 Greek cities: Athens, Preveza, Thessaloniki and Amfissa.ResultsThe prevalence rates of IA according to Young's Test in the four cities were: Athens (17.5%), Preveza (15.9%), Thessaloniki (19.3%), Amfissa (16.3%). There was a statistically significant association between location and IA (χ2 = 28.251, df = 3, p < 0.001), gender and IA for males and females (p < 0.001). We performed a t-test with the dependent variable S = sum of scores in the psychological features of loneliness, feeling abandoned, disappointed, aimless in life, and with low self-esteem; the grouping variable was IA. Results showed that the variable S was much lower for the non-addicted than for addicted students (t = 19.329, p < 0.005, df = 3085). Binary logistic regression was performed to assess the impact of psychological characteristics on the likelihood that respondents would be Internet Addicted. The model was statistically significant χ2(10, N = 3085) = 316.3, p < 0.001. The model classified correctly 85.1% of the cases. The strongest predictors of IA were the following: Loneliness (OR = 2.15, 95% CI = 1.67-2.71), feeling abandoned (OR = 1.63, 95% CI = 1.2-2.1), low self-esteem (OR = 1.72, 95% CI = 1.4-2.1) and fear of losing their job (OR = 1.36, 95% CI = 1.01-1.7).ConclusionLoneliness, helplessness, low self-esteem and fear of unemployment are the strongest predictors of IA among Greek university students.

В статье рассматривается социальная активность молодежи в контексте смысловых представлений студентов вузов. На основании материалов регионального эмпирического исследования были проанализированы смыслы, которыми наделяется активность и которые имеют высокую значимость в саморегуляции общественно направленной и индивидуализированной активности студентов. Выявлено, что смысл социальной активности в восприятии вузовской молодежи соотносится с приоритетами органов исполнительной власти, занимающихся реализацией молодежной политики; определена зависимость между частотой участия студентов в практиках социальной активности и готовностью воспринимать данную деятельность посредством институционально организованных форм. Определены доминирующие мировоззренческие установки среди вузовской молодежи и описана их связь с мотивацией социальной активности в исследуемой группе. Выявлено противоречие между смысловым представлением о социальной активности и проявляемой деятельностью: образ определяется студентами через доминирование альтруистических ценностей, а в основе реальной активности молодых людей находятся гедонистические и инструментальные ценности. The article attempts to analyze the social activity of youth in the context of semantic representations of university students. Based on the materials of a regional empirical study, the meanings of activity are analyzed, as well as those meanings that are significant in the self-regulation of socially directed and individualized activity of students. The research shows that the meaning of social activity in the perception of university youth correlates with the priorities of executive authorities involved in the implementation of youth policy; the dependence between the frequency of students' participation in social activity practices and the willingness to perceive this activity through institutionally organized forms is determined. The dominant ideological attitudes among university youth are analyzed and their connection with the motivation of social activity is described. The contradiction between the semantic idea of social activity and the activity manifested is revealed: the students determine this activity basing on the altruistic values, but in practice, hedonistic and instrumental values are at the heart of the activities of young people.

An empirical study was conducted on the basis of K-2 of FPS of Russia in the Vologda region using a questionnaire on the study of family relationships and psychodiagnostic methods «The scale of the family environment» S. Yu. Kupriyanov and «Drawing-Family Techniques» by W. Hulse. Empirical research data suggest that convicted women who had previously served imprisonment have family-parent relationships that are characterized by emotional alienation, lack of understanding and support from family members. In this category of convicts, humanistic attitudes towards others are deformed, a low ability to constructively resolve conflict situations is manifested. The results obtained can be used by penitentiary psychologists in the implementation of psychological support for women who have previously served imprisonment.

Метою статті є висвітлення результатів теоретичного аналізу та емпіричного дослідження особливостей ґендерних уявлень, виявлення гендерних характеристик у структурі образу Я дівчат та хлопців старшого підліткового віку. З’ясовано стан розробленості досліджуваної проблеми, розкрито зміст основних понять. Використано теоретичні методи: аналіз, порівняння, узагальнення, систематизація наукових поло-жень та фактів;емпіричні – спостереження, бесіда, тестування для поглибленого та цілісного вивчення психологічних особливостей становлення ґендерної ідентичності старших підлітків; проведено психолого-педагогічний експеримент у формі констатувального. Для дослідження ґендерних характеристик у структурі образу Я двох статевих вибірок використано методику «Хто Я?» (М. Кун –Т. Макпартленд).Результати емпіричного дослідження показали, що більшість старших підлітків обох статей орієнтується на загальнолюдські цінності, соціальні ролі, моральні якості, комунікативне Я, діяльнісне Я та персональне Я, що є свідченням їхнього перебування у якісно іншій соціальній ситуації розвитку, перебудови міжособистісних стосунків з однолітками та дорослими у межах провідного виду діяль-ності та переосмислення себе у новій дорослій ролі. На особливості зовнішнього вигляду як елементу фізичного образу Я вказала лише третина досліджуваних. Виявлено статеві відмінності у критичному самоставленні та ідентифікаційному «Ми». Висновки. Виявлено ґендерні відмінності в уявленнях старших підлітків про власний образ Я. Досліджено, що у дівчат порівняно з хлопцями вищі показники щодо таких категорій, як-от: ідентифікація з людством, особистісна ідентифікація, соціальні ролі, вікова ідентифікація, особливості зовнішнього вигляду, моральні якості, особистісні негативні якості, фемінні якості, комунікативне Я, перспективне Я, діяльнісне Я. У вибірці хлопців переважає статева ідентифікація, персональне Я, особистісні позитивні якості, маскулінні якості, національно-громадянська ідентифікація. Ключові слова: ґендерні уявлення, ґендерна ідентифікація, статеворольовий образ Я, старший підлітковий вік, традиційні та еґалітарні цінності, психологічний супровід.

Norman Holland theorizes that people seek themes in media which affect them personally and are congruent with topics in their own life's situation. Yet while doing so, individuals try to make sure that they are not confronted with issues that they do not wish to deal with or are emotionally draining. Michail Bakhtin makes similar assertions in his Theory of Appropriation through his research on the influence that language has on the ideas of being to be true to oneself (“ownness”) and to becoming a stranger to oneself (“otherness”). An empirical study of these hypotheses is supported through a collection of 80 observation protocols of pre-schoolers made during their everyday interaction with different forms of media (picture books, cassette tapes, made for TV-movies). Both claim that the connection between personal life topics and media themes as well as the self-preserving reception process, were confirmed in this study.
