The most important feature of adolescence is awareness of responsibility for the content of their lives before themselves and before other people. The psychological signs of a mature adult present a certain level of self-regulation, the specifics of experiencing ontological problems, the relation to the environment, the existence of a balance between the level of appetites and the satisfaction of their achievements. Overcoming the age limits of youth, the individual experiences differently. Some consider this stage of life as a new opportunity to realize their potential, others feel dissatisfied, internal embarrassment and anxiety. A man’s view of his mature adult may be due to the economic conditions of life, social circumstances and peculiarities of the time in which he lives. Many adults begin to feel that it is difficult for them to dispose of their own lives. In a situation of psychological deprivation, an adult is worried and confused about whether she really understood and realized the true purpose of her life. That is why it is important to notice in time and respond to emotional violations of the ontological direction. In our study, we aimed to analyze the empirical indicators of adult anxiety and test the means of correctional influence in the perspective of bodily oriented psychotherapy (TOP), which indicates the path to effective problem-solving without time and cognitive resources. The main task of our corrective work with the researchers was to intensify the manifestation of positive emotions through the removal of bodily and psychological clamps; personal anxiety was regulated by promoting physical and psychological liberation; extending the range of emotions in interaction with the outside world. In addition, we have induced participants of the TOP to form new, more effective patterns of motion; learning self-regulation skills and ability to realize stress through situations of stress. The correctional program had a positive effect on the emotional state of the participants in the experiment. In particular, it proved to be effective for dealing with reactive (situational) anxiety.


The article deals with the patterns of behavior of students who participate in the training of communication skills. Observation of different participants in standardized situations revealed that there are recurring personality characteristics of responding to the situation of interpersonal interaction. The individual peculiarities of use by participants of adjectives during the training process are discussed. Discusses the patterns that are associated with the peculiarities of the personality of the participants and are manifested in the performance of training exercises. The main theories and tests related to the identification of typological personality traits are analyzed. The introduction of parameters specific to the description of behavior allows distinguishing typological groups. To solve the clustering problem, a non-numerical description of the elements of behavior elements was used. The matrix of output data was created from the set of descriptions of the adjectives of the sample of participants. An Elbow method was used to determine the optimal number of clusters. The matrix was subjected to an agglomeration cluster analysis procedure using the k-medium method for cluster integration. It was found that most of the emotional states and behavioral reactions, which were described by adjectives, as a result of analysis can be the basis for the distribution of participants in the types, depending on the frequency of manifestation of the interrelated behavioral features. For representatives of each cluster, specific forms of motivation are offered. Proposals for improving the quality of the facilitator training team are put forward. The authors propose the use of the typology developed by them to motivate and predict the behavior of participants.

Introduction. The article is devoted to the study of the specificity of the lexical-semantic and syntactic valency of lexical units nominating emotions in the poem “Then, fare thee well” by T. Moore. The relevance of this study lies in the fact that it has been carried out in line with the linguo-cognitive paradigm and aims to identify the specifics of the compatibility of emotions nominations with other lexical units verbalizing the fragment of the concept “the emotional world”. The novelty of the research is associated with its anthropocentric orientation and interdisciplinary nature of the interpretation of the material, which implies the study of the artistic concept sphere “the emotional world” on the material of the poem “Then, fare thee well” by T. Moore from the standpoint of cognitive linguistics, psychology and literary criticism.Methodology and sources. The theoretical basis of this research is presented by the works of scientists V.Yu. Apresjan, E.V. Galeeva, N.A. Krasavskii, I.N. Kucher, S.G. Lyubova, K.O. Pogosova, E.A. Rozhnova, who considered the essence of emotional concepts as culturally conditioned mental constructs, i.e. directly related to the worldview of representatives of a particular ethnic group.In the article we use the following research methods: the method of definitional analysis, the functional-semantic method, the method of component analysis, the descriptive method, as well as methods of continuous sampling and quantitative data processing.Results and discussion. In the present study, the classification of lexical units verbalizing the manifestations of emotional states in the poem “Then, fare thee well” by T. Moore has been made. In the semantic structure of the lexemes under consideration, we highlight and categorize the semes marked by the correlation with the emotional sphere of people. The linguo-cognitive analysis of the lexic and syntactic valency of the primary and secondary nominations of emotions, carried out in the work, revealed the specifics of the conceptualization of emotional states and experiences in the individual author's picture of the world.Conclusion. It has been established that the artistic conceptual sphere “emotional world” in the poem “Then, fare thee well” by T. Moore consists of two closely interrelated concepts – “negative emotions” and “positive emotions”, verbalized by lexemes nominating a wide range of emotional experiences of the lyrical character. It is concluded that the associative-figurative characteristics attributed to a specific emotion in the artistic world of the author carry valuable culturally relevant information about the individual characteristics of the interpretation of emotional concepts both by the poet himself and by the “naïve” thinking of an English-speaking person as a representative of his language and culture.

The article examines the psychological aspects of the manifestation of anxiety and perfectionism as a phenomenon of selfattitude in the period of youth and maturity in a situation of transitivity associated with constant changes in social processes, value systems and the transformation of the everyday space of a modern person. The paper analyzes the differences in the manifestation of the level of anxiety and the level of perfectionism in people at a young and mature age; the influence of situational and personal anxiety on self-attitude and the level of specific components of self-attitude is considered; the relationship between the level of socially prescribed perfectionism and the level of self-attitude of the individual is studied. The results of the study demonstrate that the young participants experience a significantly higher level of situational anxiety at their age, in contrast to people of mature age. At the same time, anxiety, as a personality trait, is generally on the same level, with insignificant growth in the group among young people. The study did not reveal any differences in the level of self-oriented perfectionism in the two age groups. However, according to the scale of perfectionism oriented towards others, there are differences between young and mature respondents. The study records that the level of situational anxiety is significantly lower in people of mature age. At the same time, the respondents of this age group are characterized by a higher level of self-esteem, self-confidence, self-acceptance, self-consistency, as well as self-understanding than the participants at a young age.

The article presents the results of a theoretical and empirical research aimed at studying the individual psychological characteristics of emotional intelligence of future teachers with different levels of personal anxiety. In the given publication еmotional intelligence is understood as a personality’s ability to realize its own emotions, to understand their causes, to control them, as well as to understand the emotional sphere of other people, to control their emotions. Anxiety in our study is interpreted as a negative emotional experience associated with a premonition of danger. The study involved students from different faculties of the State Institution “South Ukrainian National Pedagogical University named after K.D. Ushynsky” (52 persons). Correlation analysis has shown that the relationships between emotional intelligence and anxiety parameters have only a negative character. Qualitative analysis allowed to study the individual-typical features of emotional intelligence of future teachers with different levels of personal anxiety. Two groups of subjects – "low-anxiety" persons and "high-anxiety" persons has been established to conduct this analysis (with the help of the "aces" method). Determination of statistically significant differences by Student's t-test showed the advantage of "low-anxiety" persons for most parameters of emotional intelligence (p<​​​​​​​0.005 and 0.01). It turned out that they have a better ability to understand and verbally describe their emotions, recognize them, understand their causes, control them. They are better able to cause and maintain the desired emotions, control unwanted, control the external manifestations of emotions. "Low-anxiety" persons better understand other people's emotions and manage them more successfully, analyze the emotional states of other people by external manifestations (facial expressions, gestures, sound of the voice). They are more sensitive to the internal states of others, are able to evoke certain emotions in them, reduce the intensity of unwanted emotions and may be prone to manipulating people. The obtained results can be used to create emotional intelligence training, as well as in the process of professional selection of teachers. ​

Psychological features of mothers who have given birth to premature babies present one of the most complex and insufficiently explored areas of modern perinatal psychology. The progressive increase of the children born before the term as well as the insufficient development of psychological care programs for mothers at the women's consultation and nursing departments of newborns dictate the urgency and necessity of this problem. Using psychological techniques, the authors comprehensively assessed the personality characteristics, motives for the pregnancy preservation, personal and situational anxiety of mothers of premature babies at Perinatal Center №.1. The assessment revealed that the mothers with premature low-birth-weight babies experienced a sharp increase in situational anxiety compared to personal anxiety, while the mothers of full-term babies with a normal weight tended to decrease the level ofsituational anxiety. In addition, the mothers of premature babiessufferfrom expressed and severe depression more often than the mothers of full-term babies(p<0.05).

The article considers the manifestation of personal and situational anxiety in first- and third-year students of the Free Economic Zone. Anxiety is considered from two points of view - situational and personal. In the first case, the term is used to describe an unpleasant emotional state associated with feelings of tension, anticipation of unfavorable developments. Otherwise, anxiety is felt as an experience of personal threat, increased sensitivity to failures and mistakes, self-dissatisfaction. Anxiety is a state of anxiety that arises in a person in a situation that poses a certain physical or psychological threat to him. According to S. Freud, the unpleasant state of anxiety is a useful adaptive mechanism that encourages the individual to protective behavior to overcome the danger. Anxiety is a personal limit that reflects a decrease in the threshold of sensitivity to various stress agents. Anxiety is expressed in the constant feeling of threat to one's own "I" in any situation; Anxiety is an individual's tendency to experience anxiety, which is characterized by a low threshold for the occurrence of an anxiety reaction: one of the main parameters of individual differences. 55% of first-year students have a high level of personal anxiety and 45% have a moderate level of personal anxiety. First-year students used to be in the walls of their home school, but now they find themselves in a little-known university building, which also increases anxiety and insecurity. The student, in contrast to the student, is forced to form new styles and strategies of behavior within the walls of the university and forms of assimilation of a large amount of information from different disciplines. 3rd year students have a low level of situational anxiety (36.4%) and a moderate level of personal anxiety (63.6%). In the third year the process of specialization begins, strengthening the interest in scientific work as a reflection of further development and deepening of professional interests of students. The urgent need for specialization often leads to a narrowing of the sphere of diverse interests of the individual and students' reassessment of many values of life and culture. They become more confident in their abilities as students, but may have doubts about their future lives.

IntroductionModern clinical narcology searches for anti-craving programs to overcome psychoactive substances (PAS) pathological addiction with bio-adaptive regulation of systems (BARS).Aims and objectivesTo develop computer modified biofeedback program integrated with Luscher test.MethodTwenty-two PAS addicts who were undergoing biofeedback modified psycho-training were examined. Computer rheoencephalogram (REG) was used as an external monitoring module.ResultsTechnologically novel biofeedback computer modification was developed with preceding Luscher computer testing for determination of the individual preference colour and the colour producing individual unpleasant associations in respondents. Consequently, biofeedback program was corrected differentially by changing standard colour templates for those personified on monitor. Cerebral hemodynamics condition transferred to individually designed for a particular respondent colour registers is used as a homeostatic parameter reflecting alcohol craving presence/absence: in case of the disordered REG parameters the signal reflects the respondent's unpleasant (negative) colour, and with no craving the screen is filled with positive, pleasant, favourite colour. During BARS auto-training the respondents’ skills to mediate present subjective clinical PAS craving manifestations with unpleasant colour and the experimental auto-training method have been mastered, and those psycho emotional states which displace PAS craving symbolic colour from the screen are selected, and it is substituted with favourite colour (symbol of healthy mode of life motivations).ConclusionsUsage of combined BARS biofeedback improved effectiveness of the training and allowed to objectivize and control the condition of the patient getting reliable visual and digital information about either regress or activation of PAS craving and potential relapse of addictive behaviour.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.
