While studying sense-making regulation, we have previously elaborated on a basic personological model based on dual relations of personal traits. Their representation in the form of an ensemble of bipolar semantic scales' shows two strategies for organization of the notional sphere – positive development or degradation of the personality (Godunov, 2017). This approach reduces all the variety of options for personal development to a pair of oppositions. The purpose of this article is to theoretically substantiate the transition from the dual to trinal model of sense-making strategies and their description. The genesis of personal traits and meanings that determine them is examined from trialectic viewpoint on the basis of the three-fold sense-making strategies. This methodological approach allows carrying out multifactor diagnostics and qualitative interpretation of various states of personal value-semantic sphere which simulates behavior patterns in various life situations. This helps one to realize the peculiarities of one’s being and otherness as conditions of spiritual self-improvement in the way of self-transcendence

[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] The purpose of the overall study was to explore more effective ways of creating tailored health messages for technology-based interventions in order to help self-management of chronic diseases. The overall study is twofold: Study 1 -- systematic review and Study 2 -- experimental study. Conducting Study 1 -- review study -- has shed light on the current status of research on technology-based interventions for managing chronic diseases. Specifically, the study considered methodological quality and features of interventions as indices in order to improve the effectiveness of the technology-based interventions for chronic diseases. Accordingly, given personal value orientation and freedom threat, Study 2 investigated these as potential elements to be included in tailored health messages and leading to more or less persuasive effects for self-management. It examined whether invoking an individual’s personal value orientation between two extreme value orientations--self-enhancement and self-transcendence--and threatening an individual’s freedom in health news messages on diabetes can cause psychological reactance and affect compliance with suggested health behaviors. The details of each study will be explained.

This paper explores national governments’ prioritization of environmental matters within their e-government websites, in order to provide empirical evidence related to the way “green” issues are articulated in different countries’ policymaking agendas. Through a multi-pronged methodological approach combining frame analysis, factor analysis, inferential statistics, and qualitative interpretation, explicit and visual allusions related to environmental policies, initiatives, challenges, and agencies in the home page or main portal of the national governments for 189 UN members were coded. Results show that only 39.1% of the analyzed e-government sites included environmental references, and no strong pattern characterized the framing of environmental concerns by governments. Correlation and regression analyses revealed that GDP per capita and contribution to global CO2 emissions have more weight than other variables in a nation’s propensity to highlight environmental issues within their e-government websites. Findings are discussed in light of framing theory, as well as in light of implications for governments’ public image and for actual environmental advocacy.

Performance success and positive development are goals of youth sport coaching that need not but often do find themselves in conflict with each other, yet there is a dearth of research that has inquired into the tensions between these 2 goals for sport coaches. Adopting an autoethnographic research design, this study explored the first author’s coaching experiences with a focus on his attempts to facilitate players’ personal development and the team’s performance success in a Canadian elite minor ice hockey context. Framed in a positive-youth-development approach, the first author’s philosophy and behaviors were informed by key tenants of achievement goal theory and self-determination theory. Three key areas were problematized: pursuing personal development and performance success, creating a task-oriented environment, and implementing autonomy-supportive behaviors. Practical implications for elite youth coaches and coach educations programs are discussed.

This chapter examines how LOHAS salvages its “New Age” focus on self-development or actualization. It examines the Mind Cure, New Thought, and New Age movements in terms of their relationship to capitalism to show how LOHAS extends and expands these movements through the LOHAS category of Personal Development (also referred to as the Mind/Body/Spirit market). In Personal Development goods and services, physical and spiritual self-healing reflects a moral pragmatism by linking self-healing work with that of healing the world. Threaded through the LOHAS discourse is a popular American theme—the power of positive thinking—and this healing modality is put to use in so-called the quantum spiritualities, the latest incarnation of the American therapeutic tradition. The end of the chapter shows how the LOHAS texts use examples of healed selves as testimonials to show that it is indeed possible for individuals to transform themselves to social warriors.

Relevance of the problem:The study of junior students' hubristic motives is a new area of scientific research, so the study of the features of younger students' self-awareness and personality traits, depending on their dominant hubristic motivation, is relevant. Aim: determination of self-awareness and personality traits, depending on pupil’s dominant hubristic motivation Methodology of the research: The projective methodology "Fairy tale Kingdom", projective "Tree" Technique (John and Dian Lampen), the Fairy Tale Test (by K. Colacclaw), methodology "Style of Self-Regulation of Children's Behavior - SSRCB M2" V.I. Morosanova. The sample included 204 students (3-d and 4-th forms) of Gymnasium № 169 in Kharkiv. Results of the research. The motivation of superiority over others in younger students involves perceiving their current status as a leader in the classroom. The real and desirable student`s status corresponds to his/her hubristic degree, as well as to the dominant emotional states (aggression or anxiety), motives (affiliate needs that determine the motives of cooperation or needs for superiority, which determine the motives of competition) or personal characteristics. Typological profiles of hubristic motivation determine the awareness of one's own status in the class and the desire to change it, determine the manifestation of personal traits, needs, motives and dominant emotional states. Hubristic motivation in younger school age affects the ability to self-regulate behavior.

Objective. The article analyzes the practices of homeless assistance programs and the possibility of developing a methodological approach, where the restoration of the lost subjectivity of the individual will become one of the methodological foundations of the psychology of homelessness. Background. The problem of homelessness is urgent both for Russia and foreign countries. Improving the effectiveness of the re-socialization practices for people living on the street implies a deeper understanding of the psychology of the homeless by social services. Methodology. This article considers the methodological principles of the historical-evolutionary approach (A.G. Asmolov), the approach to the analysis of cultural and personal development from the viewpoint of the chronotope (N.N. Tolstykh), the principle of supra-situational activity (V.A. Petro¬vsky), the idea of personality development pathways in challenging conditions (D.A. Leontiev), etc. Conclusions. It is concluded that assistance to the homeless is of an ad hoc nature and mostly includes the provision of material and emergency support. The authors propose a comprehensive model based on the idea of the homeless personality returning and upholding the following principles: 1) retention of activity on the side of the person, 2) effort on the part of the person, 3) maintenance of oversituational activity, 4) reliance on the personality, its potential, 5) support and organization of social relations, 6) polysystem.

Resumen:Los estudios sobre felicidad o bienestar y sus posibilidades de mejora en el contexto educativo han suscitado un gran interés en la comunidad científica. Sin embargo, habitualmente los diferentes estudios suelen ignorar las opiniones del profesorado, obviando así las aportaciones del llamado paradigma del “pensamiento del profesor”. En el presente estudio, a través de una metodología cualitativa de estudio de casos, se han planteado dos objetivos: 1) conocer la percepción del profesorado en ejercicio sobre la felicidad, y 2) valorar la necesidad de incorporación de competencias en los nuevos temas de formación permanente sobre el desarrollo personal desde una perspectiva positiva. El análisis de resultados evidencia un conocimiento del profesorado sesgado y parcial del concepto de felicidad según los postulados del desarrollo positivo. Se pone así de manifiesto la necesidad de profundizar en este ámbito, ampliando el conocimiento del concepto de felicidad del profesorado a través de la formación permanente y el asesoramiento psicopedagógico. Con esto se pretende redireccionar la acción educativa de cara a su mejora.Abstract:Studies on happiness or well-being and their possibilities for improvement in the educational context have aroused great interest in the scientific community. However, the different studies usually ignore the opinions of teachers, thus neglecting the contributions of the so-called "teacher's thinking" paradigm. In the present study, through a qualitative methodology of case study, two objectives have been proposed: 1) to know the perception of teachers in exercise on happiness, and 2) to assess the need to incorporate competencies in the new themes of Personal development from a positive perspective. The analysis of results shows a biased and partial knowledge of the concept of happiness according to the postulates of positive development. The need to deepen in this area, thus increasing the knowledge of the concept of happiness of the teaching staff through the permanent formation and the psico-pedagogic advice, becomes evident. This is intended to redirect educational action in order to improve it.

The author explores human vitality as an indicator of people’s ability to develop, adapt and maintain stability/balance in challenging life situations. The concept of vitality embraces two aspects: susceptibility to negative circumstances and subsequent successful adaptation or positive outcome. The core factors of human vitality are considered personal traits, social competence, and available external support. The paper reflects the procedure of adapting and testing the psychometric indicators of the questionnaire aimed at assessing the vitality factors. It describes the findings of the study focused on the development of vitality in teenagers and adolescents. It is assumed that vitality differs across age groups at different stages of ontogeny, and personality traits and social relations are either protective or risk factors. It is shown that vitality differs across different age groups of young people, including by gender. The author discusses the personal development of junior schoolchildren with different levels of vitality. The group of viable younger adolescents expresses the “high IQ” factor (V), and “low-vitality” adolescents feel a high level of anxiety (factor O).
