The paper discusses the empirical study of the fea-tures of self-esteem and self-attitude in girls with different components of the psychological gender. The author notes that the ongoing changes in mas-culine and feminine stereotypes in the conscious-ness of modern society entail changes in the struc-ture of psychological gender. It is shown that girls with masculine traits have high self-esteem and self- respect, while they are quite self-critical and show low self-interest, which is reflected in such emotion-al reactions to themselves as irritation and disa-greement. Girls with androgynous traits typical of an adequate level of self-esteem, expressed in accord with their inner promptings, accepting yourself as you are, as well as the interest in your own thoughts and feelings, which increase the adaptive capacity of a person.

The article discusses the specificity of criminals’ perceptions of social space. It is shown that social space is considered derivative of multiple interactions of a person with the social environment. The elements of social space are people and groups, with which the personality interacts. An individual’s idea of social space is formed by summarizing the characteristics of interaction. The study examines three types of characteristics of the representation of social space: (1) representation of the co-participation of other people (i.e. properties of social space), (2) self-assessment of interaction with other people, (3) representation of the ability to manage the interaction with the surrounding people. A hypothesis is formulated about the differences in criminals’ perceptions of these characteristics. The hypothesis is tested empirically. The research is conducted by measuring the perceptions of criminals and law-abiding citizens about social space. The method of data collection is self-reporting. Comparison of the perceptions is performed by Kruskal – Wallis one-way analysis of variance The research sample consists of two groups: a) criminals, 210 people convicted of committing violent crimes; b) law-abiding citizens, 210 people who did not commit a crime. The obtained results confirm the hypothesis about the specificity of criminals’ ideas about the characteristics of social space. It was found that social space is viewed by criminals as insensitive and difficult, reducing their self-esteem (devaluing), as well as uncontrollable and unmanageable. The results are confirmed in alternative studies of violent offenders. The conclusion is made about the prospects of research on the perceptions of social space as a resource for the prevention of criminal acts.

The article features an empirical study of the attitude of adolescents to coming-of-age with various resiliency in St. Petersburgand Smolensk. The research employed a modified version of the Dembo-Rubinshtein selfevaluation methodology. The actual and ideal self-esteem of the teenagers was measured in terms of «adulthood», «willingness to be an adult» and «desire to grow up»; their resilience was assessed with the help of a screening version of the Resiliency. The characteristics of the regulatory, moral and reflexive spheres were assessed according to the Self-Assessment Scale of Personal Maturity. The research demonstrated that adolescents from Smolenskassessed their desire to grow up significantly higher than those from St. Petersburg, while their level of actual and ideal self esteem of adulthood remained the same. The adolescents from St. Petersburgshowed lower rates of conative, reflexive and moral maturity, as well as resiliency, primarily in terms of involvement and control. Depending on the strategy of growing up, resiliency is a resource (for an internally coordinated strategy of coming-of-age) or a personal condition for exercising control over one's own life (for an internally conflicting strategy of coming-of-age). The data obtained are used in the psychological and pedagogical accompaniment of adolescents growing up in different sociocultural conditions. There is a tendency to further research on the influence of socio-cultural factors on the implementation of a particular coming-of age strategy and teenagers’ attitude.

AbstractAlthough Max Weber does not specifically analyze the topic of esteem, his investigation of the Protestant ethic offers interesting insights into it. The change in mentality it engendered essentially contributed to enhancing the meaning and importance of esteem in modern society. In his analysis, Weber ascertains that esteem was fundamental to being accepted and integrated into the social life of congregations. Nevertheless, he also highlights that esteem was supported by a form of self-esteem which was not simply derived from a good social reputation, but also achieved through a deep and continual self-analysis as well as a strict discipline in the ethical conduct of life. The present analysis reconstructs the different aspects of the relationship between social and self-esteem and analyzes the consequences of that relationship by focusing on the exemplary case of the politician’s personality and ethic.

Point Of Reference

This research aims to provide empirical data about the relation between faith and self-esteem with shamans and their supernatural power among the tribal-based religious community in North Sumatra. The main issue this research tackles is that in this modern society, there are those who still trust and use shamans and their supernatural power termed “Begu Ganjang”. Despite this, the development of the global economy can often cause difficulty, and as such, humans must possess the ability to survive and to overcome problems, in a term known as the “Adversity Quotient” (AQ). However, instead of using their AQ, some individuals with low self-esteem tend to place more faith in shamans and supernatural powers. This study uses a quantitative approach in the form of a questionnaire. By using either a Purposive or Judgmental Sampling method, from 600 people asked, there were answers from a total of 100 respondents (50 men and 50 women) from each of the following tribes in North Sumatra: Batak Toba, Mandailing, Pakpak, Simalungun, Karo, and Nias. The study applied SEM to analyze the relationship between endogenous variables of faith and self-esteem with the shaman and Begu Ganjang. The study found that the relation of faith to shamans = 0.19, and faith to Begu Ganjang = 0.00. This means that there is a small relation between faith and shaman, while there is no relation between faith and Begu Ganjang. Furthermore, the relation of self-esteem to shaman = - 0.13, and self-esteem to Begu Ganjang = - 0.06. The result of this study shows the following: 1) There is a correlation between the growth of the respondent’s faith and their trust in the shaman, and 2) The decrease of trust in shamans and Begu Ganjang will occur only if the respondent’s self-esteem increases. Finally, the results of this study may act as a point of reference for other studies that will examine the phenomenon of syncretism in Indonesia.
