Introduction. Taking into account different approaches to the problem of arbitrary purposeful activity, as well as the existing lack of empirical data, the question of evaluating the relationship of self-regulation and self-management is an open and topical one. The leading role in the organization of activities can move from one process to another. The article analyzes the data obtained in the study of the assumption that at some level of the organization of activities, there are both elements of the process of self-management and the process of self-regulation; they are closely intertwined, interpenetrating depending on a particular stage. However, there are phenomena of personal formations that can affect self-regulatory mechanisms in self-management activities. These constitutional factors may be dominant or subordinate. The purpose of the study is to identify the relationship between the ability to self-management and self-regulation in law enforcement officers with constitutional personality factors. Materials and Methods. To conduct the study in accordance with this goal, we used the following questionnaires: N. M. Peisakhov “Ability to self-management” (SSU test); V. I. Morosanova “Style of self-regulation of behavior with a scale of reliability” (SSPM-2011); method of multivariate research of R. Kettell’s personality. Results. In the course of the study, we identified conditions (the degree of expression of the factor “N”, etc.) in which the value of explicability of dependent variables is higher, which indicates a changeable (dynamic) the nature of the mutual influence of conscious self-regulation and the ability to self-management and, in turn, is a certain feature of this professional activity. Discussion and Conclusion. In the course of the study, statistically significant relationships were obtained between General and particular indicators of the methods of V. I. Morosanova and N. M. Peisakhov. Along with this, we have identified reliable correlation indicators that characterize the relationship between R. Kettell’s constitutional factors with conscious self-regulation and the ability to self-management. It is obvious that the results obtained at this stage of the study are clearly insufficient to make any decision on the issue of “breeding” self-regulation and self-management. The results of univariate and multiple regression analysis of the original sample (N = 446) in addition to the low level of mutual dependence common indicators “of the process itself” – 28,6 %, and the total indicators from individual scales methods SSPM – 2011 and test SSU 30,91 % and 39,77 %, respectively, to assess differences in perceived self-regulation and ability for self-government, depending on the impact of constitutional traits of law enforcement officers.

Background. The relevance of the study is associated with the need to increase the effectiveness of measures to prevent the development of mental disorders in law enforcement officers and to form a stable psychological adaptation to high-intensity stressors when working in extreme conditions. Aim. The paper aims to evaluate the adaptability of people of extreme jobs with different indicators of regulatory systems during stress modeling. Materials and methods. 158 male officers of law enforcement agencies aged from 18 to 49 years with various types of professional activity were examined: 1) security profile – 24 employees of the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia; 2) sensory-motor/sensory-gnostic profile – 92 males of military contract service of the Armed forces of Russia; 3) team profile – 42 officers of the Armed forces of Russia. The use of biofeedback data allowed to evaluate the indicators of regulatory systems in the initial functional state and during stress modeling. The study of individual psychological features was conducted using a battery of psychological tests. Results. Individual psychological features of professional reliability in law enforcement officers with high, medium and low indicators of regulatory systems during stress modeling were determined. It was revealed that individuals with exhausted regulatory systems were characterized by a low autonomy of regulatory processes, difficulties in goals setting, an expanded sphere of saving emotions, and low activation of behavior aimed at pleasure seeking. Conclusion. Empirical data confirmed the feasibility of creating a method for comprehensive psychological, neurobiological and psychovegetative diagnostics of self-control and self-regulation, which allows expanding the existing arsenal of predictive tools for evaluating behavioral responses in people of extreme jobs that require high mental reserves and neuropsychological stability. Taking into account the individual psychological features of law enforcement officers with different activity of regulatory systems is considered as essential for the creation of individualized preventive and rehabilitation programs.

Prior work has suggested that provider-based stigma of substance use disorders may be one barrier to fighting the opioid epidemic. However, to date, provider-based stigma has been afforded little attention in the context of the criminal justice system. The goal of the current study was to extend this line of research by examining the impact of provider-based stigma toward opioid using persons to beliefs about help that should be provided to persons experiencing an overdose among a sample of 208 police officers working in departments in the Northeastern Region of the United States. In addition, this study explores the relationship between provider-based stigma and the anticipated on-duty behavioral responses to opioid overdoses. Results from multivariable analyses indicate that certain dimensions of social stigma are significantly related to officers’ perceptions of help in varying directions, along with officers’ experiences with naloxone administration and departmental policy pertaining to the use of naloxone.

It has been substantiated that modern realities dictate new requirements to the personality of a chief within law enforcement agencies, especially when his management activity is carried out in conditions that are characterized by their uncertainty, tension and responsibility. The effectiveness and success of the entire law enforcement system, as well as the quality of performing police professional tasks depend on the capabilities and personal qualities and competencies of a police chief. And the ability to act quickly in a changing environment and psychological readiness for innovative activity should provide a chief with the opportunity to improve the police work. Therefore, the objective of the article was empirical grounding of peculiarities of psychological readiness for innovative activity and the ability to self-management of the police chiefs with different level of readiness for innovative activity. The author of the research has used “Psychological Readiness for Innovation” (V. E. Klochko, O. M. Krasnoryadtseva) and “Ability to Self-Management” (N. M. Peisakhov) methods. The sample consisted of 316 heads of police departments. The author has theoretically grounded that psychological readiness for innovative activity and ability to self-management are considered as important personal traits of a police chief within professional activity. Empirical results have demonstrated that a group with an average level of readiness for innovative activity reveals the largest number of meaningful interactions, which include criteria for assessing quality, the ability to adjust their own goals while performing their professional tasks, and the tendency to increase the entire system of interpersonal relations. There were no relationships among law enforcement officers with a high degree of readiness, which led to the conclusion that such law enforcement officers with a higher level of readiness for innovative activity, are characterized by higher estimates of self-management indicators. It has been also established that law enforcement officers with a low level of readiness for innovative activity have an increase in the ability to correct the actual actions, characteristics of communication and behavioral patterns, as well as the system of self-management in general. It has been stressed that a well-developed indicator of self-management will help the police chief in planning new goals, finding new solutions in difficult situations.

The author of the article has provided the results of the study of the features of personal transformations of the elements of behavioral component of law enforcement officers’ professional activity at the stage of training in higher educational institutions with specific learning conditions. The interdependent elements of behavioral component of a law enforcement officer’s professional activity have been singled out, namely: the adaptive potential of an individual, skills and behavioral self-regulation styles, individual and business qualities, mechanisms of psychological protection and coping-behavior strategies. The author has diagnosed the features of strategies and models of coping behavior of law enforcement officers at different stages of professional training. So, in difficult life situations it is typical for freshmen to come into contact with others for decision-making. Despite this, they are able to take responsibility and solve problems independently, although they still need support from others. Second-year students tend to work together to achieve mutual goals that coincide and to avoid the risk of failure due to long-term analysis of solution options and possible consequences, they are prone to re-insurance and cautious actions. Third-year students seek support from others (family, friends, colleagues), have the ability to solve problematic, difficult situations with other people, are able to cooperate and behave combining inner strength and politeness to the environment. MA students use practically the same with third-year students a set of models of coping behavior, search for social support and interaction with people. However, they are more prone to cautious actions and weighed decisions than third-year students. It has been determined that law enforcement officers at the stage of professional training are least of all inclined to use passive and asocial coping strategies. Thus, freshmen in difficult situations will not demonstrate caution and aggression, second-year students will not avoid difficulties and behave in asocial way, third-year students are also less likely to engage in antisocial and aggressive actions, and MA students are less likely to act aggressively and avoid solving problems.

The relevance of the article is due to the European integration aspirations of Ukraine and the prospects of joining its security forces, including the National Guard of Ukraine, to the NATO. So, the formation of language competence in modern conditions is an integral part of the officer’s professional development and training. Theoretical analysis of scientific sources on the language competence development in servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and law enforcement officers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine revealed that this problem has not been studied and needs additional research. The essence of the language competence in the NGU officer is revealed as a personal integrative formation, which allows the specialist (an officer) effectively to communicate in foreign language, to achieve positive results in his professional activity. It is studied that the requirements of the NATO STANAG-6001, as well as various aspects of the NGU's professional activity should be taken into account when developing the language competence in NGU officers.

The global economy appears the trend of anti-globalization under the influence of COVID-19. Based on the input-output table of lead database from 2006 to 2020, this paper divides the factors that affect the development of financial industry in China, the United States and Russia into six aspects: price, intermediate input, household consumption, government consumption, export and import. ADGA-BP neural network model is proposed in this paper, which is based on six aspects of price, intermediate input, consumer, government consumption, export and import. The intermediate input is decomposed from the perspective of industrial structure to study the interrelationship between financial industry and other industries in the three countries. The results show that the intermediate input is the main factor in the development of financial industry in the three countries, but the source industries of the intermediate input are not the same; the two factors of household consumption and price are closely related to the development of financial industry in the three countries, and they all play a role in promoting China, while the relationship between household consumption and the United States and between price and Russia is reverse; Government consumption only has a significant impact on Russia; from the perspective of mutual influence, the mutual investment between the financial industry of China and the United States is relatively large, while the relationship between the Russian financial industry and the two countries is relatively weak. It shows that under the background of covid-19, the development of financial industry is affected.

Social and emotional difficulties are common during the kindergarten stage, the changes between family and school environment leave the child at risk of a range of emotional and social problems at that point. This pressure confronts the child's weak ability at that age, linguistically, to express his feelings and thoughts in a clear and understandable manner, as well as the beginning of his ability to control and organize his feelings and behaviors. All this constitutes factors that make the child's adaptation process on the emotional, social and cognitive level difficult during the kindergarten stage. While many studies confirm that the child is an emotional and social being par excellence, and while educational programs emphasize in most of their content on cognitive learning, the child's needs, personality and sentiments are ignored, hence the question raised about the role of emotional competencies in establishing other competencies? Since the kindergarten stage by its nature requires that the child learn to adapt to the environment and establish healthy relationships, our paper aims to study the relationship between emotional competencies (Self-awareness and Self-regulation*) and their indicators and social competencies (Social awareness and Relationships skills*) and their indicators and determine the mutual impact between them. As a tool for this study we used SEAM scale to measure emotional and social competencies to measure the relationship between emotional variables as an independent variable to see its effect on the dependent variable, which is in our study social competencies. Using the inferential statistics (Pearson correlation coefficient and simple linear regression coefficient) to measure the relationship between two variables, results demonstrated that there is a positive semantic relationship confirms that emotional competencies and their determinants are highly influential competencies that establish social competencies and their determinants at preschool age. Participant were 191 children, aged 4 to 6 years old at the time initial assessment, in kindergarten, within the group of schools relied to the Moroccan Foundation for promoting preschool education.

Subject. Choosing the code of ethics for professional accountants' thinking and moral activity appears to become a key to a higher professional status. It is necessary to ensure the commercial comfort as much as possible for professional accountants to demonstrate their knowledge and observe professional principles. Objectives. I carry out a systemic study into advantages that help accountants respect professional principles of ethics. Methods. The study relies upon the modeling of economic cases, analyzes and synthesizes the information with reference to accounting and management. Results. The article discusses the relationship of the thinking and ethical activity of professional accountants as part of their professional activity that makes them observe the code of professional conduct. I add unusual cases of economic threats companies face to the evident relationship of the ethical principles and typical threats that influence the performance of professional accountants. With all the threats and causes combined, professional accountants sometimes have to depart from professional principles of ethics. Having this in mind, I substantiate the possibility of deriving the highest and lowest effects from the moral activity of accountants, which reflects the quality of their thinking activity. To elevate the professional status and reinforce the code of ethics for professional accountants, I prove that the accountant's professional knowledge influences the business image of a respective entity. The article shows that the motivation is important to raise the professional accountants' responsibility as part of their thinking and moral activities. Conclusions and Relevance. Studying the impact of the relationship between the moral and thinking activity of professional accountants on their performance can be useful to set certain relations between accountants and their employers. If the professional accountant takes his/her best efforts to develop the business and social image of the company, observing the professional code of ethics, while the employer manages to motivate the accountants, they will build the effective business management and mitigate economic risks.
