The state and behavior of a singer on the stage has not been fully explored and studied. This article is an attempt to understand the causes of such a phenomenon as the excitement of a vocalist who goes on stage and performs in front of an audience. The unusual psychological state that an artist develops on the stage during a public performance brings many unexpected «discoveries» to the performer and requires detailed study. Unlike ordinary excitement, the author designated it as «stage excitement» and pointed out the factors that lead to the occurrence of such a state. The ways of neutralizing the negative sides of the artist’s state on the stage are analyzed. A great emphasis in the work is placed on the study of the psychological portrait of the performer and the psycho-emotional component of his personality as well as the characteristic moments associated with the individual characteristics of the vocalist.

This chapter aims to provide you with the knowledge to be able to take an evidence-based approach to the nursing management of people who are experiencing pain. As a practising nurse, pain will be something that many of your patients will experience; however, one individual’s pain may be very different from another person’s. Pain can vary depending on the circumstances in which it is experienced and the individual characteristics of the person experiencing it. Understanding someone’s pain experience is therefore challenging because you cannot see someone’s pain or easily judge how bad it is, what it feels like, or how it affects him or her. This chapter provides you with knowledge and skills to recognize, assess, and manage the patient’s experience of pain effectively with evidence-based strategies. The variability of the experience of pain makes defining pain difficult. Pain is something that we have all experienced at some point in our lives and therefore, through these experiences, we have developed an understanding of what we consider to be pain. One of the most widely accepted definitions is that of the International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP), which defines pain as:…An unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage, or described in terms of such damage. (Merskey and Bogduk,1994)…Although this definition is often quoted, the difficulty in defining pain is illustrated by the fact that the IASP added a note (go to http://www.iasp-pain.org/ and search for ‘pain definitions’) to highlight the individual nature of pain and the fact that pain is a sensory experience with an emotional component. The individual nature of pain is also highlighted by another commonly used definition:…Pain is whatever the experiencing person says it is and happens whenever he/she says it does. (McCaffery, 1972)…This definition highlights the fact that pain is an individual experience and that measuring pain objectively is difficult. Therefore asking the person and actively listening to the self-report of the experience is the best way in which to understand another person’s pain. A common criticism of McCaffery’s definition is that some people cannot say what they are experiencing.

Foreign policy analysis benefits from careful attention to state identity. After all, identity defines the field itself by making it possible to speak both of policies and of a domain that is foreign. For some scholars, identity has proven useful as a guide to agency and, in particular, to agent preferences. For others, identity has served as a guide to social or institutional structure. Theories of state identity can be divided into three categories: conditions internal to agents, social interactions among agents, and “ecological” encounters with a broader environment. Internal conditions refer to either processes or constraints that operate within the agent under consideration. In the case of the state, these may include domestic politics, the individual characteristics of citizens or other internal actors, and the collective attributes of these citizens or other actors. Although internal causes are not social at the state level, they nevertheless have social implications if they give rise to state identity, and they may themselves be social at a lower level. The social interactions of states themselves constitute a second source of identity, one that treats states as capable of interacting like persons. This approach essentially writes large social and psychological theories, replacing individuals with the state. Finally, the ecological setting or broader environment is a third possible source of identity. The environment may be material, ideational, or discursive, and treated as an objective or a subjective influence.

The results of a cross-cultural study of volitional regulation in Komi-Zyryans and Russians are presented. Two samples of 100 representatives of Komi (Syktyvkar) and 100 representatives of Russian (Moscow) was compared. The samples were balanced by gender, age and other socio-demographic characteristics. To diagnose the individual characteristics of volitional regulation of the respondents, the following methods were used: “Action-control scale” by Yu. Kuhl, “Questionnaire for revealing the expression of self-control in the emotional sphere, activity and behavior”, self-evaluation of volitional qualities. The significant differences between Komi-Zyryans and Russians in behavioral (p=0,05) and social self-control (p=0,01), self-appraisals of volitional qualities: disciplined (p=0,01), persistent (p=0,01), strong-willed (p=0,05), initiative (p=0,05), restrained (p=0,05), patient (p=0,01), stubborn (p=0,01), calm (p=0,01), attentive (p=0,01) were showed. The obtained results confirm the hypothesis about the presence of cross-cultural differences in the parameters of volitional regulation and confirm the ideas of the volition as a higher mental function.

The paper analyses the ethnocultural factors of volitional regulation from the cultural-historical perspective. A hypothesis is put forward about the relationship between the specifics of volitional regulation and national self-consciousness of the individual. The aim of the work is to study the relationship between ethnic identity and features of volitional regulation among representatives of various ethnic groups (Russians, Komis, Tuvans, Kabardians, Mari, Koreans). A total of 600 people aged 18 to 30 years took part in the study (the samples were gender balanced). To evaluate the individual characteristics of volitional regulation in the respondents, the following techniques were used: the Action Control Scale by J. Kuhl; the "Questionnaire for revealing the expression of self-control in the emotional sphere, activity and behavior"; the technique for self-assessment of volitional qualities; the Purpose in Life Test. The features of ethnic identity were evaluated using the “Types of Ethnic Identity” technique (by S.V. Ryzhova, G.U. Soldatova). The study revealed significant positive correlations between the intensity of volitional self-control and the overall score of volitional self-esteem and positive ethnicity in groups where nationality occupies an important place in the structure of the subject's self-consciousness (Tuvans, Koreans, Kabardians).

The introduction of new legislation to determine the cadastral value of property calls for solution of some problems. Poor cadastral valuation leads to errors in the activity of a cadastral engineer. In particular, the lack of developed methodological support, speeding up the training of cadastral valuation staff, unreliability or lack of cadastral information in most areas of the country, obsolete equipment, the lack of R & D and the application of the method of mass valuation of real estate, which does not take into account the individual characteristics of the object of valuation, can result in registry errors. The considered direction of the state registration of the land fund is at the very beginning of its development, which will require the further adjustment of the legislation, new approaches to training and certification of cadastral engineers and organization of their activity. To this end, the article analyses the types of allowed registry errors, their classification, as well as the legislation determining responsibility for such errors. As the mistakes made by a cadastral engineer influence economic activity of organizations, expenses of regions, the author offers classification of register errors based on the principle of materiality.

The results of a cross-cultural study of volitional regulation in in representatives of 11 ethno-cultural groups living in the territory of the Russian Federation and the former USSR are presented. The representatives of the Armenian, Bashkir, Byelorussian, Jewish, Mari, Ossetian, Russian, Tajik, Tatar, Ukrainian peoples, as well as the Komi people were compared. The samples were balanced by gender, age and other socio-demographic characteristics. In total, 1156 people took part in the study. To diagnose the individual characteristics of volitional regulation of the respondents, the following methods were used: “Action-control scale” by Yu. Kuhl, “Questionnaire for revealing the expression of self-control in the emotional sphere, activity and behavior”, self-evaluation of volitional qualities. The presence of significant differences between the groups for all measured parameters was shown (p<0.001). The obtained results confirm the hypothesis about the presence of cross-cultural differences in the parameters of volitional regulation and confirm the ideas of the volition as a higher mental function.

The paper describes the structural and procedural picture of the unity of the non-equilibrium state of the individual and a borderline situation. The subject of the study was limited to the situation of loss, for which it was necessary to identify possible scenarios and systematize psychological indicators. The study employed an integrative analysis and synthesis of theoretical and applied works in the fields of personality psychology, crisis and clinical psychology, psychotherapy, and psychological counseling. The unity of one’s state and situation appeared to provide the psychological links of the event, one’s personal predispositions, interpretations, experience, and behavior. The situation unfolds in the external and internal (mental state) reality, which do not coincide. An essential role in correlating of information about the state of the internal and the external and the emergence of a particular state belongs to the psychological boundaries of the individual. The situation of loss reflects the disintegration of one’s internal and external realities and the psychological impasse: the time-space "in between" the previous ego, the future ego and the present ego, which is partially destroyed. The uncontrolled value-semantic "hanging" correlates with the critical non-equilibrium state of a person. The content markers of their unity are confusion, ambivalence, "breakdown" of the ego boundaries, temporal effects, semantic disregulation, disintegration, alienation, and a burnout. Intolerance to ambivalence of a situation means getting into a border situation. The possibility of a constructive or destructive way out of this situation is indicated by affective expansion or semantic dysregulation and disintegration of the personality. Leaving a borderline situation behind requires a change of the state, attitudes, values, and meanings by restoring the eroded or destroyed boundaries of the ego. For this purpose, the borders and the situation connected with them must acquire the status of a problem and a "place" of opportunity in one’s mind.

Down syndrome children need special attention. As long as the illness is often accompanied by mental disorders, there should be an individual approach to child in upbringing and education. This compels parents to adjust their rhythm of life in accordance with child's needs. Difficulties in raising a child with special needs can lead to a deterioration in the attitude of parents towards the child. This comes out in the behavior of parents and leaves an imprint on the psychological state of the child, his character and subsequent life. Materials and methods: 97 Down syndrome children were examined. All patients met the inclusion criteria. The patients' parents gave informed consent to the participation in the study. Down syndrome in children has been genetically verified. Patients were divided into two groups according to the criterion of ability to verbal communication: group 1 (G1) included 77 children capable of verbal communication, group 2 (G2) – 20 children who did not speak. Individualization in the most of both groups respondents was at an average level, which indicated sufficient parents’ acceptance of the individual characteristics of the child, sufficient attention to his interests, satisfaction with the time spent together. Cooperation did not show statistically significant differences in G1 and G2. The average score on this indicator did not differ in both groups (6.87±1.13 for G1, 6.75±1.10 for G2). Statistically significant difference between G1 and G2 was found in symbiosis (4.25±1.43 points against 5.10±1.55 points, respectively). Authoritarianism in G1 was 3.27±1.26 points, in G2 – 4.05±1.60 points, which corresponds to the average level of severity and means achieving a balance between giving the child freedom of action and the establishment of restrictions. Disability in G1 and G2 was 2.43±1.40 and 2.90±1.77, respectively, which corresponds to a low level of its severity: parents of Down syndrome children are generally not inclined to increase the defects of their children, regardless of their language skills.

The study involved 67 aged 6 to 8 years (mean age 6.7 years) with a diagnosis of ADHD, diagnosed by a psychoneurologist. Among the respondents there were 64 boys and 3 girls. All children attended general secondary education or studied at home.Purpose. Рreliminary theoretical analysis of the basic methods of correction and the formulation of the basic principles of the implementation of individual programs of psychological correction for children from ADHD of preschool and young school age; Experimental development of the level of effectiveness and individual programs of psychological correction in work with ADHD in children of senior preschool and young school age.Methods. Тheoretical analysis of the peculiarities of the implementation of individual correction programs in work with children of preschool and young school age, which have symptomatic of ADHD; diagnostic questionnaire of Vanderbilt; methods of neuropsychological diagnostics; methods of mathematical statistics for related samples.Results. The results of the preliminary survey allowed dividing the children into 4 subgroups. For each subgroup, a set of strategies and corrective exercises was selected, based on the previously selected correction algorithm and general principles of correctional work. During the development of the correction program, emphasis was placed on the individual format of the specialist's work. This is due, on the one hand, to the difficulties of working in groups, which are not always available for children with ADHD and their social environment, and on the other to the difficulties of organizing such work during the COVID-19 pandemic, or possible deterioration of the epidemiological situation in our country in the future.When organizing the correction, the individual characteristics of children were taken into account. In addition to individual work with children, work was carried out with their social environment. The latter included psychoeducation, providing recommendations on strategies and methods for stabilizing the child's condition, involving parents in the process of performing corrective exercises in the psychologist's office.After corrective work, a re-examination was conducted. The data obtained from its results indicate positive changes in the psychological state of children in all 4 subgroups. In addition to reducing the intensity of pathological manifestations characteristic of ADHD, in some children there was an increase in efficiency, motivation to perform tasks, critical thinking.Conclusions. The results of the study allow us to talk about the effectiveness of an individualized approach to the correction of ADHD. This approach helps to minimize pathological manifestations and children, which, in turn, allows them to effectively master new activities.Key words: hyperactivity, attention deficit, impulsivity, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), behavior, preschool children, primary school children, psychological support, ADHD psychocorrection algorithms. У дослідженні взяли участь 67 дітей віком від 6-ти до 8-ми років (середній вік становив 6,7 років) з діагнозом СДУГ, установленим лікарем-психоневрологом. Серед респондентів було 64 хлопчики та 3 дівчинки. Усі діти відвідували заклади загальної середньої освіти або проходили навчання вдома.Мета. Теоретичнийаналіз існуючих методів корекції та формування основних принципів упровадження індивідуальної програми психологічної корекції для дітей зі СДУГ дошкільного та молодшого шкільного віку; експериментальне вивчення ступеня ефективності індивідуальної програми психологічної корекції в роботі зі СДУГ у дітей старшого дошкільного та молодшого шкільного віку.Методи. Теоретичний аналіз особливостей впровадження індивідуальних корекційних програм у роботі з дітьми дошкільного та молодшого шкільного віку, що мають симптоматику СДУГ; діагностичний опитувальник Вандербільта; методи нейропсихологічної діагностики; методи математичної статистики для пов’язаних вибірок.Результати. Результати попереднього обстеження дозволили поділити дітей на 4 підгрупи. Для кожної підгрупи було вибрано свій комплекс стратегій та корекційних вправ, що базувалися на вибраному попередньо алгоритмі корекції та загальних принципах організації корекційної роботи. Під час розроблення корекційної програми було зроблено акцент на індивідуальному форматі роботи спеціаліста. Це пов’язано, з одного боку, зі складнощами роботі в групах, яка не завжди є доступною для дітей зі СДУГ та їхнього соціального оточення, а з іншого – зі складнощами організації такої роботи в умовах пандемії COVID-19 чи можливих погіршень епідеміологічної ситуації в нашій країні у майбутньому.В організації корекції було враховано індивідуальні особливості дітей. Окрім індивідуальної роботи з дітьми, проводилася робота з їхнім соціальним оточенням. Остання включала психоедукацію, надання рекомендацій щодо стратегій та методів стабілізації стану дитини, долучення батьків до процесу виконання корекційних вправ у кабінеті психолога.Після проходження дітьми курсу корекції було проведено повторне обстеження. Дані, отримані за його результатами, вказують на позитивні зміні у психологічному стані дітей в усіх 4-х підгрупах. Окрім зменшення інтенсивності патологічних проявів, характерних для СДУГ, в окремих дітей було виявлено підвищення працездатності, мотивації до виконання завдань, критичності.Висновки. Pезультати дослідження дозволяють говорити про ефективність індивідуалізованого підходу до корекції СДУГ. Такий підхід сприяє мінімізації патологічних проявів у дітей, що у свою чергу дозволяє їм ефективно опановувати нові види діяльності. Останнє в перспективі буде призводити до подальшої корекції симптомів СДУГ.Ключові слова: гіперактивність, дефіцит уваги, імпульсивність, синдром дефіциту уваги та гіперактивності (СДУГ), поведінка, діти дошкільного віку, діти молодшого шкільного віку, психологічний суgровід, алгоритми психокорекції СДУГ
