Thinking Style is a Factor of Socio-Psychological Adaptation at Youthful Age

Allbutt, Ling, and Shafiullah (2006) and Allbutt, Shafiullah, and Ling (2006) found that scores on self-report measures of visual imagery experience correlate primarily with the egoistic form of social-desirable responding. Here, three studies are reported which investigated whether this pattern of findings generalized to the ratings of imagery vividness in the auditory modality, a new version of the Vividness of Visual Imagery Questionnaire ( Marks, 1995 ), and reports of visual thinking style. The measure of social-desirable responding used was the Balanced Inventory of Desirable Responding (BIDR; Paulhus, 2002 ). Correlational analysis replicated the pattern seen in our earlier work and of the correlations with the egoistic bias, the correlation with vividness of visual imagery was largest and significant, the correlation with visual thinking style next largest and approached significance, and the correlation with vividness of auditory imagery was the smallest and not significant. The size of these correlations mirrored the extent to which the three aspects of imagery were valued by participants.

Purpose. The aim of this work is to study the characteristics of transformation that appeared in the sphere of family relations in the modern Ukrainian society. The main attention is concentrated on problems of asymmetry of family status. Technique. The methodology includes a comprehensive analysis and synthesis of existing scientific and theoretical material and formulation of appropriate conclusions and recommendations. During the study, we used the following methods of scientific knowledge: terminological, semantic, functional, systemic-structural, comparative legal. Results. The research process recognized that at the present stage of creation of a Ukrainian state more family is in the process of transformation than in decline. It has passed a long way of development and adaptation to diverse conditions of existence, characterized by flexibility and sustainability. Some family functions under the influence of objective conditions disappear, others persist, still others only appear. Scientific novelty. In the research process, a number of faults and reasons in the matter of the transformation of Ukrainian families. The inability of the spouses to overcome the crisis situation in the transition of families from one stage to the other can be connected with the psychological incompatibility of the spouses, the inadequate choice of a marriage partner, the inability of families to solve problems, the low level of socio-psychological adaptation.

Means Of Production

This article explores the sources of legitimacy of private property in the means of production in Ukraine. The conceptualization of legitimacy of private property was made by analyzing theoretical approaches to the study of the foundations of private property relations in Western countries. The application of these approaches tests economic utilitarian, psychological, and sociocultural explanations of legitimacy of large and small private enterprises and private land in the process of activation of post-communist transition of Ukrainian society. The basic hypothesis was that the process of legitimation of private property in the means of production proceeds by uniting utilitarian and psychological adaptation with sociocultural agreement of ideological attitudes. This hypothesis was verified with the help of created legitimacy indices by comparison of linear regressions and data of the Institute of Sociology of the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) of Ukraine for 2013 and 2017. The results indicate that the hypothesis has been held true only concerning legitimacy of small private enterprises. They have acquired a moderate extent of legitimacy owing to the fact that besides the factors of adaptation, social recognition has increased at the expense of people who support the multiparty system and the liberal and mixed methods of regulation of the economy. In contrast, the existence of large private enterprises and private land has not acquired the corresponding sociocultural foundation.
