The article presents a study of the peculiarities of self-conception of patients with paranoid schizophrenia with consideration of gender differences and the period of remission, the relationship of self-conception to other emotional and psychological factors and the peculiarities of protective and coping behavior. The results obtained indicate that, during remission of the examinees, the examined parameters of self-conception are primarily within the normal range, they use different relatively adaptive coping mechanisms most often. The examinees showed a sufficiently high level of resilience, a favorable emotional background and absence of expressed discomfort. In case of positive self-conception, regardless of the period of remission, a high level of involvement, risk taking and resilience, low values of anxiety, hostility and psychoticism are noted. For men, a high level of self-conception is associated with a high level of involvement and resilience and low levels on the scales of psychopathological symptoms. Women with a high level of self-conception are noted for a high level of resilience, willingness to take risks but at the same time they have high expression of various psychopathological symptoms. Thus, the results of the study allow to say to hold a variety of rehabilitation measures. For greater efficiency of these activities, the group can be formed regardless of the period of remission but with considering of characteristics of the self-protective and coping behavior according to gender.

The article considers the typology of forms of envy, its functions, analyzes the ratio of types of envy with different types of protective and coping behavior in students of different training profiles. The study involved 50 students from 19 to 22 years old studying in different specialties of the university. Student age is a period of development of mature mechanisms of protection, constructive coping and envy as a personality trait. The authors started from the assumption that different types of envy are related to different types of protective and coping behavior and their difference among students of different learning profiles. The results of the study prove there is a relationship and interdependence of types of envy with strategies of coping and psychological protection. It was revealed — there is a close relationship between types of envy and coping strategies. It is established that different types of envy are characteristic of students of different profiles of study. Envy-dislike is more pronounced in students of a technical orientation, envy-despondency is the dominant type of envy in humanitarian students. It is proved that avisity-dislike has a positive close relationship with maladaptive confrontational coping in humanitarian students. Planning a solution to the problem and positive reassessment are interdependent and interrelated with envy-hostility among students-technical profile of training. Substitution and hypercompensation are positively interrelated with envy-hostility among humanitarians. Students of the technical profile of education revealed an inverse relationship of envy-despondency with projection and a direct connection with displacement. Envy-dislike is interrelated and interdependent with rationalization. The author plans to associate further research with the development of diagnostic tools and measures to prevent and correct feelings of envy.

The purpose of the current research is to know the relationship of strategic clarity represented in (clarity of activities and procedures, clarity of goals, clarity of resource use, clarity role of employees, clarity of the organizational structure, clarity of leadership roles) that the studied sample possesses in the pilot organizations represented in (independence) , inventive, proactive, and risk-taking), The research relied on the questionnaire as a main tool to collect the necessary and necessary data to achieve its goal. As (67) forms were distributed to determine the level of availability of strategic clarity and leadership organizations, and accordingly (55) forms were used, which are valid for analysis. In addition, a set of statistical methods was used, represented by weighted mean, standard deviation, simple correlation coefficient Pearson, and simple regression coefficient. The results of the research showed a positive correlation and impact between strategic clarity and the pilot organizations of the studied sample. Which motivated the study to come up with a set of important results, perhaps the most prominent of which is the interest of the studied sample in encouraging its employees to develop their capabilities and enhance them in order to create good results that return to the studied study in a positive way reflected in achieving high-level profits.

Knowing the factors that influence children’s suggestibility is important in implementing the psychological variables to be evaluated during a forensic evaluation. In the interrogative suggestibility model, coping strategies intervene in determining the acceptance or rejection of the leading question. However, studies that investigated the relationship between interrogative suggestibility and coping strategies had mixed results. Avoidance-oriented coping is associated with high level to immediate suggestibility and problem-focused with low levels. In this study, we measured immediate suggestibility, delayed suggestibility, and coping strategies in a sample of 100 children. We hypothesized that avoidance-oriented coping strategies have a predictive effect in increasing immediate suggestibility levels, in particular avoidance-oriented coping oriented towards the tendency to accept leading questions. No effect of coping strategies was expected on delayed suggestibility. All children completed the Gudjonsson Suggestibility Scale (GSS 2), a non-verbal IQ test, and the Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations (CISS). Coping strategies were not related to delayed suggestibility, but avoidance-oriented coping correlated positively with immediate suggestibility. Avoidance-oriented coping emerged as the only significant predictive model for shift and total suggestibility, and its subscale distraction emerged as a predictor for Yield 1 and Yield 2. No predictors emerged for delayed suggestibility. Results are discussed for their theoretical implications.

The article is devoted to the study of the features of defensive coping behavior in hearing impaired adolescents with different levels of resilience. The relationship between defensive-coping behavior and the level of resilience is analyzed. It was revealed that hearing impaired adolescents with a low level of resilience are dominated by such forms of protective-coping behavior as: seeking social support, escape-avoidance, denial, regression, suppression, distancing; and for hard of hearing adolescents with a high level of resilience - planning for problem solving, intellectualization, projection, acceptance of responsibility and positive reappraisal.

An unusual patient, characterized by recurrent infections, hepatosplenomegaly, low levels of gamma-globulin in the serum (400 mg/100 ml) and lymphocytosis, is described. The patient had pneumonia due to Nocardia asteroides followed by chronic Salmonella newport infection of 16 months' duration, kept in check by continuous antibiotic therapy. No antibodies were produced against specific antigenic challenges. The relationship of this case to those of congenital and acquired agammaglobulinemia is discussed.

The job of an orchestra musician is characterized by high demands and low control, which is a combination known to predispose to ill health. Research also indicates that musicians have high levels of subjective health complaints, complaints with limited or no objective findings. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between subjective health complaints, stress, and coping in musicians. Thirty-five musicians in the Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra filled in questionnaires about work, subjective health complaints, and coping. Saliva samples were collected to measure cortisol levels. The levels of subjective health complaints compared well with normative data from a representative sample of Norwegians, except for an unusually high level of “pseudoneurological” complaints (fatigue, mood changes). High levels of cortisol were positively related to the total number of subjective health complaints, gastrointestinal complaints, and “pseudoneurology” but not to musculoskeletal complaints. A high level of “emotion-focused coping” was associated with higher cortisol levels. Samples obtained during a concert showed a moderate but significant rise in cortisol levels.
