Hardiness is one of the important psychological categories related to the resource potential of a personality, which is closely related to health and coping. The aim of the study was to define characteristics and relationships of hardiness in Russian and international medical students. 205 Russian and international students of junior courses of the medical faculty of the university were studied. We used the S. Maddy hardiness test, DemboRubinstein self-assessment technique, sociocultural questionnaire. Statistical processing included descriptive statistics and correlation analysis. It was revealed that significant differences in the severity of indicators of hardiness among Russian and international students were not revealed, which characterizes students as capable of effectively carrying out educational and professional activities and maintaining psychological balance in most stressful situations. Nevertheless, Russian and international students had certain differences in the severity of hardiness, taking into account gender and age factors. Motivation for educational and professional activity was more pronounced among Russian male students, and tolerance for uncertainty was more pronounced among female international students. International students were more involved in learning activities in the younger age group, while Russian students were more involved in the older age group. In the group of international students, it was also noted that high characteristics of hardiness were interconnected with psychological well-being and the desire to gain new experience. In Russian students, high indicators of hardiness were more interconnected with mental health, psychological well-being, the absence of harmful habits of using psychoactive substances and pronounced stress resistance. The results can become the basis for the development of university programs for adapting students to the educational environment, focused on Russian and international students, for the implementation of preventive programs and health development programs at universities, taking into account the factors of gender, age and country of origin of a student.

Empirical Research Methods

One of the components of a teacher’s psychological health is the psychological well-being of his personality. The relevance of this study is due to the need to find such professional methods of the teacher’s work that would serve as a resource for his psychological well-being. The article discusses approaches to understanding an educational event as a condition for creating situations of psychological well-being in educational interaction. Psychological well-being can be a consequence of the design and implementation of a series of educational events focused on gaining experience of activity, the formation of a model of behavior, experience of behavior, skill of activity and change of oneself. Empirical research methods were: a diagnostic method to identify psychological wellbeing and satisfaction with professional activity; mathematical method using the Wilcoxon T-criterion for assessing the shift in indicators of psychological well-being before and after the creation (development and implementation) of educational events by teachers. The results of an empirical study conducted in schools of the Irkutsk region and Buryatia suggest that the participation of teachers in the development and implementation of educational events in their professional activities becomes a resource for increasing their psychological well-being. In conclusion, the author argues the idea that an educational event as an element of a teacher’s professional training can serve as a tool for optimizing a teacher’s own mental health. Such an approach to the psychological well-being of the teacher’s personality will make it possible to purposefully manage not only the effectiveness of the teacher’s professional activity, but also his psychological well-being. It seems promising to teach teachers the techniques of designing educational events and their implementation in the educational process, not only to manage the well-being of the teacher himself, but also to create conditions for the psychological well-being of other participants in educational relations, first of all, the psychological comfort of students.

There is limited evidence on the time-varying effects of migration on the psychological well-being of children who stay behind in African contexts. This study is the first to employ panel data to examine this nexus in the context of Ghana. Data were collected in 2013, 2014, and 2015 from school-going children in the age group of 12-21 years. Using children’s self-reports, an analysis was conducted separately for boys (N=781) and girls (N=705). Results indicate that girls and boys with the mother away internally or internationally are equally or more likely to have higher levels of psychological well-being when compared to boys and girls of nonmigrants. Higher level of well-being is observed amongst girls when parents migrate and divorce. However, parental migration and divorce is more likely to increase the psychological vulnerability of boys. In Ghana, the psychological well-being of children is nuanced by which parent has migrated, marital status of migrant parent, and the gender of the child.

The female-headed household is a new vulnerable group associated with health inequality. The purpose of this study was to analyze psychological well-being and related factors among Korean female-headed households based on age stratification. This was a secondary analysis of data extracted from the fifth Korean Working Conditions Survey (2017), which included a total of 9084 female-headed households. Their psychological well-being was measured by the WHO-5 well-being index. A total of 39.8% of female-headed household workers were psychologically unhealthy. Among them, 2.2% of those aged 15–30 years old, 8.1% aged 30–50 years old, and 29.5% over aged 50 years old were unhealthy. In the age group of 15–30 years old, depression/anxiety was negatively associated with psychological well-being. In the age group of 30–50 years old, living alone, musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, and depression/anxiety were negatively associated with psychological well-being. In the age group over 50 years old, low education level, living alone, low income, musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, and depression/anxiety were negatively associated with psychological well-being. The psychological well-being perceived by female households is complex and goes beyond economic poverty and dependent burdens. Therefore, a multidimensional support strategy should be included in the concept of social deprivation, and a preventive approach is needed to establish a support system.
