Performance Capacity

The article presents the systematic theoretical and methodological analysis of psychological aspects of sailors’ professional work reliability. Sailors’ reliability is associated with their performance capacity, which affects efficiency of their work and reflects, to a greater extent, the procedural work characteristics. We have determined the main integral indicators of sailors’ work: efficiency (work achievements: productivity, speed, completeness, etc.) and quality (functional or technical characteristics). A marine specialist’s reliability is determined by their erroneous actions or through the category of human performance capacity, but this category focuses mainly on a specialist’s internal potentialities and capabilities, but does not fully disclose the working process (stability of functioning) and its result (reliability, failure-free). The features of sailors’ stress and its consequences are described. The features of sea transport specialists’ professional competence in the aspect of psychological readiness for work are determined. The reliability of sailors’ professional work is determined not only by professional characteristics, but also by their motivational, cognitive, psychomotor, emotional-volitional, temperamental and personal characteristics. Researchers describe the signs of professional work reliability with the aim not only to identify the procedural and effective parameters of work, but also to determine corresponding psychophysiological characteristics. The parameters assessing sailor’s psychological readiness to reliable professional work are determined. The psychological and physiological mechanisms stabilizing sea and river transport specialists’ health is determined; we should point that prolonged and intensive work lead to decreased working capability, fatigue, as a natural body reaction determined physiologically. The mechanisms stabilizing psychological health and the main stages of the formation of marine specialists’ work reliability are theoretically substantiated: potential professional physical and psychological readiness, individual characteristics leading to professional mistakes at sea, high-quality professional education and further trainings, adaptation to professional activities at sea, regular work. Regular trainings are important, because they help to improve sailors’ psycho-emotional stability. Professional training for the specialists should involve the development of their self-regulation as a psychological mechanism ensuring the reliability of their professional work. Psychological support of professional education can act as a technology forming the reliability of marine specialists’ professional work. Such psychological support shall help to create an orientation field for sailors’ professional development, strengthening their professional Self, maintaining their adequate self-esteem, helping them master the methods for professional psychological self-preservation. However, the widely used practice to assess only limited number of skills limits also the development of a holistic portfolio that includes all the necessary skills required for good reliability and efficiency at the workplace with certain responsibility. The examined scientific studies have shown that maritime transport specialists’ work take place in extreme conditions, so in order to improve their reliability, training alerts, simulators, business games and psychological trainings should be used.

Contemporary changes in all spheres of life in Russian society mark a number of complex and multifaceted problems that need to be urgently addressed. One of such problems is prevention and correction of deviant behavior of teenagers. Practice shows that the level of training of higher school graduates studying in the field of «pedagogical education», as well as working teachers, is insufficient for the effective organization of educational work with this category of students, since most of the surveyed teachers do not have the necessary theoretical knowledge in the field of deviantology and do not have sufficient practical skills. In order to improve professional competence, authors of this article organized and conducted a special course on «Correctional and pedagogical support for juvenile deviant behavior». The main objectives of course is provide students with in-depth knowledge of special and correctional pedagogy, deviantology, legal psychology, development of professional competencies, which determine some aspect of teachers readiness to work with this category of students. The growth of indicators of information, methodical and communicative competence of students was identified as a result of diagnostics. This indicates the effectiveness of the special course program developed by the authors and of the work carried out as a whole. Described practical experience and the exemplary program of the special course can be used in the educational process of pedagogical educational organizations, professional development and retraining of pedagogical staff, in the development of educational and methodical documents and recommendations for students, for teaching psychological and pedagogical disciplines.

Symptoms Of Depression

Objectives: Although many service members successfully cope with exposure to stress and traumatic experiences, others have symptoms of depression, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and anxiety; contextual factors may account for the variability in outcomes from these experiences. This work sought to understand mechanisms through which social support influences the mental health of service members and whether dyadic functioning mediates this relationship. Methods: We collected cross-sectional data as part of a larger study conducted in 2013; 321 military personnel who had at least 1 deployment were included in these analyses. Surveys were completed online; we collected data on demographic characteristics, social support, mental health measures (depression, PTSD, and anxiety), and dyadic functioning. We performed process modeling through mediation analysis. Results: The direct effects of social support on the mental health of military personnel were limited; however, across all types of support networks, greater social support was significantly associated with better dyadic functioning. Dyadic functioning mediated the relationships between social support and depression/PTSD only when social support came from nonmilitary friends or family; dyadic functioning mediated social support and anxiety only when support came from family. We found no indirect effects of support from military peers or military leaders. Conclusion: Findings here highlight the need to continue to explore ways in which social support, particularly from family and nonmilitary-connected peers, can bolster healthy intimate partner relationships and, in turn, improve the well-being of military service members who are deployed.

Зависимость от смартфона стала распространенным явлением, особенно в молодежной среде. В предыдущих исследованиях установлены большая распространенность данной зависимости и то, что жертвы этой зависимости испытывают страдания от плохого качества сна (а то и от бессонницы), депрессии, тревожности, стресса, а также отрицательные эмоции, характеризуются значительным снижением физической активности. Распространенность зависимости от смартфона и ее отрицательные последствия диктуют необходимость ее всестороннего исследования. Изучаются проявления феномена зависимости от смартфонов у учащихся медицинского колледжа. Установлено, что зависимость от смартфона положительно связана с одиночеством, агрессивностью, плохим настроением и отрицательно – с коммуникативной компетентностью, настойчивостью, самообладанием, саморегуляцией, а также с возрастом. В большей степени она проявляется у представителей женского пола. Выявленные корреляции зависимости от смартфонов с одиночеством, агрессивностью, саморегуляцией, коммуникативной компетентностью в целом соответствуют характеру корреляций, установленных в зарубежных исследованиях. Новыми как для отечественных, так и для зарубежных исследований являются установленные авторами отрицательные связи зависимости от смартфона респондентов с настойчивостью и самообладанием. Smartphone addiction has become common, especially among young people. Previous studies have established a high prevalence of this addiction and the fact that the victims of this addiction experience suffering: from poor sleep quality (and even insomnia), depression, anxiety, stress, experience negative emotions, and are also characterized by a significant decrease in physical activity. The prevalence of smartphone addiction and its negative consequences dictate the need for a comprehensive study. The article examines the manifestations of the phenomenon of smartphone addiction in medical college students. It is shown that the psychological mechanism of the emergence of addictions is described by a general model of psychological impact. It was found that that smartphone addiction is positively associated with loneliness, aggressiveness, bad mood, with the female gender, and negatively – with communicative competence, persistence, self-control, self-regulation, as well as with age. The connections identified in the article with loneliness, aggressiveness, self-regulation, and communicative competence generally correspond to the nature of the correlations established in foreign studies. New for both domestic and foreign studies are the negative links of dependence on smartphones with persistence and self-control revealed in the article. Based on the results of this study, recommendations were developed (based on the obtained empirical data) for college students to minimize the negative impact of smartphones on their mental and physical health. It is recommended in the process of educational work with students to explain the negative consequences of dependence on smartphones and the value of direct, live communication with their environment.

The concept of development of the penal system of the Russian Federation until 2020 indicates the need for new modern approaches in organizing educational work with prisoners. The need for an individual approach is due to the fact that any effect on a person is refracted through his characteristics, “internal conditions” and is aimed at studying, encouraging or punishing, correcting or shaping and developing the behavior properties of a particular convict. The essence of this approach is the flexible use by the teacher of various forms and methods of educational impact in order to achieve optimal results of the correctional process. Effective forms and methods of individual educational work in penal practice include the method of character reconstruction aimed at teaching convicts productive behaviors, developing the ability to take responsibility for their behavior in various life situations; a method of communicative regulation aimed at developing the communicative sphere of prisoners; individual trainings with convicts of various categories (individual pedagogical exercises and tasks, questioning (testing, conversation, individual consultations), during which convicts receive answers to their questions; a method of alternating organizational tasks, which allows solving such problems as teaching convicts elementary managerial skills, ways of interacting with people, as well as understanding the essence of the positions of both the organizer of his own behavior and his subordinate; strengthening the emotional field of joint creative affairs, providing a special set of psychological tools aimed at enhancing emotional stress, developing sincerity, emotional closeness, emotional elevation of the convicted person (pleasant communication, approval of creative finds, psychological support); reflexive self-education method, when using which deeper psychological mechanisms are used that promote personality self-regulation), etc. The educational impact is carried out taking into account the age and individual characteristics of the person, the level of development of his moral upbringing, constant observation, studying the changes in human qualities in the life process of the correctional institution. The advantage of using various forms and methods during the implementation of an individual approach in working with convicts is that they are aimed at identifying and mobilizing the internal and external resources of the person. An individual approach to correction is one of the effective ways to help the convict, since any educational impact reaches the goal, if refracted through specific personality traits, helps to identify individual characteristics and social stereotypes of activity, predicting the behavior and effectiveness of the correction process.

The article addresses the problem of a current trend in foreign and domestic psychological science which is self-regulation among professionals working under extreme conditions. Self regulation in risk situations plays a crucial role in making decisions and choosing strategies of behavior under conditions of uncertainty, which is not only a rational process implemented by cognitive mechanisms but also an emotional process including people’s attitudes toward a situation. A set of extreme professions includes service of managers in the penitentiary service, which is associated with emotionally intense social activity and involves a constant presence of pronounced negative stressors. Studying the problem of self-regulation related to the interaction of managers with the socium of extreme nature focuses on answering the key question: What psychological and situational factors contribute to a sufficient level of self-regulation for successful activities under stress conditions? To analyze the system of self-regulation among managers in the penitentiary service we conducted a research using 6 standardized psychodiagnostic technique: Behaviour Self-Regulation Style (V. I. Morosanova, E. M. Konoz); Burnout Assessment, adapted by A. A. Rukavishnikov; Personal Aggressiveness and Propensity to Conflicts (E. P. Ilyin and P. A. Kovalev); Rapid Evaluation of Management Potential (N. P. Fetiskin, V. V. Kozlov, G. M. Manuylov); Evaluation of Communicative and Organizational Aptitudes (V. V. Sinyavsky and B. A. Fedorishin); Orientation Styles of Professional Communication (N. P. Fetiskin, V. V. Kozlov, G. M. Manuylov). The principal assumption in this research was that the structure of individual features of self-regulation (a self-regulation style) and its levels was determined by one’s personal characteristics and professional-environmental factors. The study objectives were: to identify the relationship between the level of self-regulation, overall mental state, and management potential in managers involved in extreme activity (working in the penitentiary service); to reveal psychological factors for optimization of managerial competencies under extreme conditions of professional activity; and to identify main difficulties and competence deficiencies for subsequent corrective and psychotherapeutic interventions. The research conducted enabled us: to study in details the peculiarities of self-regulation, overall mental state, and management potential among managers in the penitentiary system; and to determine which system components require intentional development in order to mitigate deficiencies and to increase the effectiveness of managers.
