Study Results

The article presents the study on future socionomic specialists’ ecocentrism, describes the structure of ecological consciousness and its psychological characteristics. Basing on the analyzed theoretical scientific sources, we have determined that environmental consciousness means a sphere of social and individual consciousness, associated with representations of the nature as a part of the whole existence. According to the obtained data, students with pronounced ecocentric attitudes towards environment are characterized by sociability (high social activity, needs and desires for communications), poise (high tolerance to stress, optimism, high activity, self-confidence), openness (the desire for trustful and open interactions with others, for communications, openness to new experience, high self-criticism), extraversion (sociability, openness, optimism, high activity, friendliness). We have found that the students with pronounced anthropocentric attitudes towards environment are characterized by irritability (unstable emotional states, a tendency to respond emotionally to life situations), reactive aggressiveness (the desire to dominate, impulsivity of behavior), emotional lability (instability of emotional states, imbalance, irritability, insufficient self-control, frequent and abrupt mood swings) and shyness (low stress resistance, insecurity, anxiety). The study results prove that the rank indicators of the examined criteria are different, and this demonstrates differences in psychological characteristics of the respondents with different attitudes towards environment. The differences between the majority of the examined criteria were statistically significant (p≤0.01, p≤0.001), which confirmed possible differentiation of students by of their attitudes to environment. We have proved that expressed different attitudes (ecocentric, apathy or anthropocentric) to environment are not influenced by such psychological characteristics as: orientation in time, neuroticism, spontaneous aggressiveness and depression (p≥0.10). These personal characteristics do not actually influence the formation or transformation of students’ ecological consciousness. Basing on the experimental study, we have determined correlations between the ecocentrism indicators and the characteristics of future socionomic specialists’ social maturity. Namely, the students with pronounced ecocentric attitudes towards environment showed in interpersonal relationships strong authority and the desire for leadership, acute independence and dominance, excessive straightforwardness, accompanied by criticism and distrust, the tendency to cooperate with pronounced altruism and hypersocial attitudes, high stress resistance, optimism, activity, self-confidence.

High stress levels in nursing students may affect memory, concentration, and problem-solving ability, and may lead to decreased learning, coping, academic performance, and retention. College students with higher levels of learned resourcefulness develop greater self-confidence, motivation, and academic persistence, and are less likely to become anxious, depressed, and frustrated, but no studies specifically involve nursing students. This explanatory correlational study used Gadzella’s Student-life Stress Inventory (SSI) and Rosenbaum’s Self Control Scale (SCS) to explore learned resourcefulness, stressors, and academic performance in 53 baccalaureate nursing students. High levels of personal and academic stressors were evident, but not significant predictors of academic performance (p = .90). Age was a significant predictor of academic performance (p = < .01) and males and African-American/Black participants had higher learned resourcefulness scores than females and Caucasians. Studies in larger, more diverse samples are necessary to validate these findings.

The ways to achieve success are as diverse as human abilities and needs. Nevertheless, based on the previous theoretical and methodological analysis, we believe that among modern youth, generalized culturally, socially and personally determined models of success and failure are formed, which implement certain life programs in our society. The article presents the results of a comparative analysis of two groups of young people who achieved and did not achieve success in life, representing a generational cohort that grew up and formed in a society and state that are radically different from the society and state of the Soviet type. In this regard, answers are given to the questions: what are the real success and failure in modern Russian society; what are their distinctive social and socio-psychological characteristics and role in society. The analysis showed that these groups implement two basic life programs in our society: survival and success, determined by status (education, position, income) and socio-psychological characteristics (methods of selecting and setting goals, the level of their implementation, the type of rationality, attitude to work). Doomed to survival, mismatch of human life with its meaning – lead to a decrease in the threshold of personal and social responsibility, a sense of inferiority, inferiority of one’s personality, low labor activity, forming a model of social maladaptation that hinders the healthy development of the economy and society. The people who represent it, in fact, are slaves not only to circumstances, but also to the logic of everyday life built by them. On the contrary, the life and business success of young Muscovites is based on their status achievements in education and work, as well as on personal characteristics and ways to achieve success: self-confidence, optimism, the ability to set simple and clear goals, and perseverance in their implementation. This is not only an effective model of active adaptation to market conditions based on conscious and responsible choice, but also the construction of social reality based on developed personal potential. Successful Muscovites remain people who are able to relate their own and other people’s interests, when a person perceives their being as alienated from the being of other people. This is a new socio-cultural type that implements an ethical and socially safe model of life success.

The Impact

The relevance of the study is due to two aspects: first, the complexity of adolescence, psychological problems faced by adolescents, their parents, educators and teachers; secondly, the lack of research not only the peculiarities of self-identification of adolescents with intellectual disabilities, but also the interaction of emotional intelligence on the formation of self-esteem, Self-concept and self-identification in general. Because self-identification and emotional intelligence require the adolescent's personality to actively participate in its formation and formation. These are two constructs in the structure of personality, which are based on reflection, self-regulation, self-awareness and further determine the vector of life of the adolescent, his/her place in social life. The aim of the article is to identify and experimentally test the state of formation of self-identification in adolescents with intellectual disabilities and the impact on its formation of emotional intelligence. The study used theoretical (deductive, inductive) and empirical (methods of psychodiagnostics) methods. Psychological diagnosis of the state of formation of self-identification in adolescents with intellectual disabilities was carried out using the method of «Hand-drawn apperceptive test (PAT)», the method of «Who am I? » (by M. Kuhn), conversations, observations. The result of the study was a statement of the fact that the vast majority of adolescents with intellectual disabilities have a low level of self-identification, only a small percentage of the studied adolescents have an average level. Such results are due to such personal characteristics of the adolescent as asociality, anxiety, diffidence, lack of self-control, inability to control stress-filled emotional states, low level of selfregulation (including emotional and volitional self-regulation), low level of emotional intelligence formation.

Four Levels

At the present stage of Ukrainian society, requirements to an individual’s social and professional aspects grow significantly: the present demands activity, purposefulness, mobility, flexibility, and self-confidence from young people. These qualities cannot be manifested without formed skills of emotional self-regulation. The article analyzes the study on young people’s readiness for mastering the emotional self-regulation skills. Four levels of readiness for mastering the emotional self-regulation skills were identified and described. All of them were determined by the following components: motivation for emotional self-regulation, emotional consciousness, emotional competence, effectiveness of emotional self-regulation skills. The correlations were determined between young people’s readiness for mastering the skills of emotional self-regulation and such personal characteristics as: reflexivity, emotional competence and emotional self-awareness. The young people’s awareness of the need for emotional self-regulation and knowledge about them, their emotional sphere and formed reflexivity are essential prerequisites to form such personal characteristics as emotional consciousness, emotional competence, emotional stability and emotional maturity. The article determines that personal motivation for self-development and emotional-volitional control influence positively on the emotional self-regulation skills. Young people who are able to monitor their emotional states and their causal relationships with other internal processes and with effectiveness of their activities have higher motivation for emotional self-regulation and a wider range of emotional self-regulative methods that help them to achieve adequate socialization and productivity. Many young people are agreed that the need to master the skills of emotional self-regulation and recognize the negative impact of uncontrolled emotions on their own lives, but do not apply this need in real life situations.

The article considers legal awareness as a subjective perception of legal phenomena by citizens. It is assumed that there is an individual predisposition towards law-conscious behavior. In a sample of 2011 subjects, employees of state bodies, the dependence of legal awareness on the personal characteristics of employees performing duties in the field of legal relations was studied. Legal awareness correlates with the activities of civil servants indirectly through a system of real legal actions and does not always coincide with labor productivity (action - attitude). The study of justice was carried out using the test of L.A. Yasyukova. Individual psychological characteristics were identified through the use of intelligent techniques, the modification of MMPI, the locus of control, the test of volitional self-control and the motivational profile of Ritchie-Martin. To assess the success (effectiveness) of the staff professional activities, an expert assessment was performed. It was revealed that legal consciousness has a specification and depends on the type of activity of public officers. Relations can be traced within the entire volume of personal characteristics. The article provides data on the correlation of legal consciousness and individual psychological characteristics of public service employees in the verbal and cogitative, characterological and motivational spheres.

Anger, its part in human conduct and in crime commission has been much discussed and accorded a privileged status within the law, while the role of fear has been less considered. Notwithstanding, fear and related emotional states have received some recognition as intrinsic elements of the perpetrator’s object integral to the actus reus of certain offences and relevant to the defendant’s mens rea of some defences. The harm caused by deliberately or negligently instilling fear in another is inconsistently considered in law as is its impact on criminal responsibility and mens rea. Fear has been recently acknowledged as a permissible cause of loss of self-control in a partial defence to murder (Coroners and Justice Act 2009 s 55(3)). It remains a contested emotion and as with anger the male experience of what circumstances trigger fear predominates.
