Against the background of social changes in the last decade, the increasing priority of the role of a child in relation to the role of an adult, modern adolescents are faced with a choice of growing-up strategies, which is accompanied by an internal conflict of this process, a contradiction between the laws of development, including social and modern cultural imperatives. This urgent problem is in the focus of the presented research. The process of modern Russian adolescents growing-up in the context of their professional self-determination is analyzed. Professional self-determination is considered as a factor of positive growing-up acceptance due to certain value orientations. It is assumed that the choice of a future profession made by adolescents (i.e., their professional self-determination) increases their self-assessment of adulthood, and value orientations can act as its predictors as determining the meaning of growing up for them. The study involved 302 male teenagers aged 14-17 years, including: 148 cadets of the Suvorov School of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia and 154 students of secondary schools. The study used the questionnaire method, modified Dembo - Rubinstein Self-Assessment Methods and Schwartz Value Survey. Statistical processing was based on a comparative ( F -tests and the Mann -Whitney U test), variance ( F ), and regression ( B ) analyses. The results of the study show that the professional self-determination of adolescents increases their self-assessment of adulthood. The professional self-determination of adolescents is associated with the factor of primary professional socialization, namely, the conditions of the educational environment in which they grow up. The value orientations of adolescents are predictors of their self-assessment of adulthood, and are mediated by group, gender, and social stereotypes in the image of an adult and the role of an adult.

The relevance of studying the self- assessment of cadets of the Suvorov Military School of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia and its relationship with psychological health is due to the need to increase the effectiveness of the system of psychological support for cadets during the period of pre-university education, the purpose of which is to compensate for the deficiencies in the adaptive abilities of adolescents and their further personal and professional self-determination. One of the main criteria for assessing a cadet’s career opportunities in the law enforcement system is his self-assessment. A young man entering the Suvorov Military School of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia does not always proportion the level of his physical, intellectual and personal capabilities with those requirements of the educational environment of a military school. The inability of adolescents to adequately assess their strengths and weaknesses complicates the process of professional self-determination, in connection with which a significant percentage of the pupils who entered the school experience difficulties in adaptation, are disappointed in their choice and make a decision to expel. The study resulted in a correlation between the self-esteem of the cadets of the Suvorov Military School of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia with the resource of their psychological health, reflecting the ratio of constructive and destructive-deficient central (unconscious) personality functions. Another finding is a significant difference in the self-assessment of cadets assigned to different groups of psychological health. The practical significance of the research findings is determined by the possibility of their effective use in the system of psychological support for pre-university training of cadets of the Suvorov military school, including the period of mass psycho-prophylactic examinations and the provision of targeted psychological assistance to cadets with low self-assessment.

This article addresses the problem of determining the professional self-determination of younger family members. The article provides an analysis of the views of researchers on the role of the family in the professional development of an individual. The article deals with the problems of professional self-determination in dynastic and non-dynastic families. The question arises, whether the family is a support for its younger members on the basis of which, successful formation of professional qualities of the individual takes place, or the family may produce a "lag effect", ignoring inclinations, flairs and interests of the child. The study allows the authors to conclude that there is a transgenerative transference in the professional self-determination of the individual. The authors suggest that transgenerative transference is the main determining factor of professional self-determination in dynastic families, determining the choice of a profession by younger members of a dynastic family. It has been suggested that transformational phenomena occur in the process of professional self-determination of younger family members according to the types "inversion" (inversion), "hypertrophy" (amplification) and "deformation (distortion)".

Негативные тенденции на рынке труда, детерминированные экономическим кризисом и пандемией COVID-19, привели к сокращению рабочих мест во многих отраслях экономики. В результате резко возросло число безработных, а работники многих профессиональных сфер (по данным Минтруда пострадавшими признаны 42 сферы труда), вынуждены менять место работы и профессию. Дополнительным фактором, вызывающим усиление стресса и появление страхов, является неопределенность экономической ситуации, невозможность планирования и выстраивания профессиональной перспективы. Необходимость трудоустройства, профессиональной переориентации и психологической поддержки большого числа людей, обусловило актуальность и практическую значимость научных исследований в данной области психологии труда. Целью представленной работы выступило выявление психологических детерминант, способствующих успешности профессионального самоопределения и переориентаций в условиях экономической неопределенности и пандемии. Была разработана специальная анкета, направленная на выявление особенностей профессионального и личностного самоопределения в ситуации кризиса, связанного с пандемией. Исследование проводилось в онлайн-режиме; всего обследовано 250 человек. Вся выборка респондентов была разделена на 3 группы: «самозанятые», «безработные», «работающие по найму». Статистическая обработка включала частотный анализ, методы сравнительного и корреляционного анализа. Результаты исследования показали, что «безработные» и «самозанятые» по сравнению с респондентами, «работающими по найму» в большей степени переживают состояние психологической напряженности и неудовлетворенности в связи с ограничениями, веденными из-за коронавируса. Установлена роль таких психологических характеристик как уверенность в себе (вера в свои силы, способности и успех), умение быстро оценивать и принимать решения в ситуации неопределенности, высокая самооценка квалификации и готовность действовать в сложных ситуациях как предикторов профессиональной успешности в условиях кризиса. Показана роль оптимизма, как характеристики, отражающей готовность субъекта труда активно решать проблемы, связанные с профессиональным самоопределением в трудной жизненной ситуации. Negative trends in the labor market, determined by the economic crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic, have led to job cuts in many sectors of the economy. As a result, the number of unemployed has sharply increased, and workers in many professional fields (according to the Ministry of Labor, 42 areas of work have been recognized as victims) have to change their place of work and profession. An additional factor causing increased stress and the emergence of fears is the uncertainty of the economic situation, the impossibility of planning and building a professional perspective. The need for employment, professional reorientation and psychological support for a large number of people, determined the relevance and practical importance of scientific research in this field of labor psychology. The aim of the presented work was the identification of psychological determinants that contribute to the success of professional self-determination and reorientations in the face of economic uncertainty and a pandemic. A special questionnaire was developed, aimed at identifying the characteristics of professional and personal self-determination in a crisis situation associated with a pandemic. The study was conducted online; A total of 250 people were examined. The entire sample of respondents was divided into 3 groups: “self-employed”, “unemployed”, “employed”. Statistical processing included frequency analysis, methods of comparative and correlation analysis. The results of the study showed that “unemployed” and “self-employed”, compared with respondents “employed”, are more likely to experience a state of psychological tension and dissatisfaction due to restrictions imposed by coronavirus. The role of such psychological characteristics as self-confidence (faith in one's own strength, ability and success), the ability to quickly evaluate and make decisions in situations of uncertainty, high self-esteem of qualifications and willingness to act in difficult situations as predictors of professional success in a crisis is established. The role of optimism as a characteristic reflecting the willingness of the subject of labor to actively solve problems associated with professional self-determination in a difficult life situation is shown.
