PSYCHOPHYSIOLOGICAL AND INDIVIDUAL TYPOLOGICAL FEATURES OF FULL TIME UNIVERSITY STUDENTS OF THE URAL REGION
Background. The influence of the educational environment on the personality and psycho-physical status of students is an urgent issue of differential psychophysiology since the rate of modernization of higher education is many times higher than the capabilities of adaptation to long-lasting environmental factors. Aim. The paper aims to assess the level of super slow biopo-tentials of the brain and identify personality structure in students of various universities of the Ural region. Materials and methods. Based on informed consent, 499 full-time students from various universities of the Ural region took part in the study. To identify the individual typologi-cal features, a battery of psychodiagnostic techniques was used such as the diagnosis of activity, motivation and self-regulation. The psychophysiological status of the central nervous system in students was assessed by the level of constant potential using the equipment developed by Neu-roenergetika. Mathematical processing of the results was carried out with Microsoft Excel 2010 and SPSS Statistics 17.0. Results. Distinctive features of the mental sphere (activity, motivation, self-regulation) of the university student population were expressed in the predominance of people with an average activity threshold and volitional self-control. Almost 75 of students are characterized by a desire to acquire knowledge. Indicators of constant brain potential that characterizes the function-al status of the body were within suboptimal values, which indicated tension in the regulatory mechan-isms of brain energy exchange. The optimal SCP values (from 7 to 15 mV) for frontal and parietal leads were recorded in 28.6 % of the students examined. Conclusion. Indicators of brain energy ex-change (SCP values) can serve as reliable precursors of students’ fatigue and the basis for preventive measures aimed at optimizing the body's adaptive capabilities.
