The article focuses on the study of personality self-attitudes and the type of eating behavior. The correlation, comparison and qualitative analysis are an attempt to understand the relationship between the type of eating behavior and attitude of the individual to himself. The obtained results help a better understanding and differentiation of a person's formation, expressed through self-attitudes and its derivatives, which form the self-concept of personality, which, in turn, makes it possible to further introduce this experience into psychocorrectional assistance to a person, in particular: to draw up a program for correcting a person’s self-attitude, which, in turn, will help balance his eating behavior. The purpose is to study the type of eating behavior and its relationship with a person's attitude to himself. Research methods: During the study, the following methods were applied:correlation, comparative and qualitative analysis, tests with standardized questionnaires. Results: With the help of comparative and qualitative analysis, three types of eating behavior were analyzed and compared with the characteristics of self-esteem, and it was found that the key scales by which groups are differentiated are: integral scale S “self-relation” (p≤.029) and scale “self-acceptance” (р≤.039). In a comparative analysis of the data obtained from the experimental and control groups, it was found that the eating behavior for the respondents of the experimental group (with eating disorders) is characterized by high tension in two types: emotional and external types of eating behavior. Conclusions. The study of the "self-relation" factor, which is a structural component of the “Self”, also reveals differences between the two groups. It is concluded that eating disorders are closely related to the balance of structural components of the self, such as: self-esteem, self-acceptance, self-interest, which, in turn, affect the psycho-emotional state of a person.Keyw ords:emotional type of eating behavior, external type of eating behavior, restrictive type of eating behavior, self-relation, features of self-relation, experimental group, control group. Стаття фокусується на вивченні самоставлення особистості та типу харчової поведінки. За допомогою кореляційного, порівняльного та якісного аналізу здійснюється спроба зрозуміти тип харчової поведінки з формою ставлення особистості до себе. Отримані результати допомагають кращому розумінню і диференціації становлення людини, що виражається через самоставлення і його деривати, які формують Я-концепцію особистості. Дозволяє у подальшому впровадити цей досвід у психокорекційну допомогу людині, зокрема: скласти програму корекції самоставлення особистості, що, у свою чергу, допоможе збалансувати її хар-чову поведінку. Метою є вивчення типу харчовоїповедінки та співвідношення його зі ставленням людини до себе. У ході дослідження були застосовані наступні методи: кореляційний, порівняльний та якісний аналіз, тести зі стандартизованими анкетами. За допомогою порівняльного та якісного аналізу було проаналізовано три типи харчовоїповедінки та порівняно з особливостями самоставлення особистості. Встановлено, що ключо-вими шкалами, за якими диференціюються групи, є: шкала S “глобальне самоставлення” (р≤.029) та шкала “самоприйняття” (р≤.039). При порівняльному аналізі отриманих даних експериментальноїта контрольної груп було встановлено, що харчова поведінка для респондентів експериментальноїгрупи (із порушенням харчової поведінки) відрізняється більшою напругою по двох типах: емоційному та екстернальному типам харчової поведінки. Дослідження фактору “самоставлення”, який є структурним компонентом “Я”,також виявляє відмінності між двома групами. Зроблено висновок, що порушення харчової поведінки тісно пов’язано зі збалансованістю структурних компонентів Я, таких як: самоставлення, самоприйняття, самоінтерес, які, в свою чергу, впливають на психоемоційний стан людини. Отримані результати дослідження доцільно операціоналізувати в психокорекційних і психопрофілактичних програмах в рамках роботи з порушенням харчової поведінки особистості.Ключовіслова: емоційний тип харчової поведінки, екстернальний тип харчової поведінки, обмежувальний тип харчової поведінки, самоставлення, особливості самоставлення, експериментальна група, контрольна група.

This study has explored the valence of sibship that may empower the self-esteem of children with asthma at the interpersonal, environmental control competence, emotionality management, and body-image levels. It has been assumed that the relationship between siblings may have a moderating effect on the negative impact that asthma has on child’s development. Seventy children suffering from chronic asthma have been involved: 40 children with siblings (experimental group) and 30 sibling-free children (control group). The children with asthma have exhibited higher levels of self-esteem in comparison with the sibling-free children. The results of the study, at the clinical significance level, highlight how meaningful could be the involvement of healthy siblings to support the development, and to ease the compliance of children suffering from asthma. The outcomes have confirmed the supportive valence of sibship for the self-esteem of the children with asthma.

The goal of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of youth volunteering in increasing the self-esteem of hearing children of deaf adults (CODAs), who commonly start taking care of their parents from a young age. To this end, an experimental study based on the non-equal comparison groups design was applied to a experimental group of 4 participants and a control group of 3 participants, selected based on the recommendation from expert social workers from the M General Social Welfare Center in P City. The volunteer programs, conducted non-face-to-face due to COVID-19, were centered on art activities such as drawing one's own dreams, decorating flowers, and customizing pencil cases. Repeated measures analysis of variance (rANOVA) was conducted to verify the effectiveness of volunteering, and the analysis results are as follows. First, in both the experimental group and the control group, CODAs’ self esteem increased after the program was carried out. Second, while the growth effect appeared in both groups, the slope of increase in the self-esteem of the experimental group was significantly higher than that of the control group. Accordingly, the effectiveness of volunteering to improve CODAs' self-esteem was verified. This study suggests academic and practical implications based on these findings.

An experiment was conducted to test the effects of assessment feedback on rapport and self-enhancement. After adult participants (N = 83) completed the Millon Index of Personality Styles, the experimental group was given personalized assessment feedback; the control group received only general information about the inventory. After the session, all rapport-related scores (positive evaluations of examiner and session) and most of the self-enhancement-related scores (accurate mirroring, self-esteem, self-competence, and self-understanding) were significantly higher in the group that received assessment feedback. These results suggest that both processes are mechanisms by which the provision of assessment feedback produces positive change. Implications for mental health counselors are drawn.

The experiment concerned the hypotheses that the frequency of self-accepting responses to questionnaire items can be increased by standard verbal conditioning techniques and that this increase generalizes to similar but novel questionnaire items as well as to items indicative of more positive attitudes toward others. Two comparable forms (Forms A and B) of a scale of self-acceptance and acceptance-of-others were used. Form A of the scale, consisting of 18 self-acceptance items and 14 acceptance-of-others items, was administered to 400 R.C.A.F. personnel. The 60 lowest scorers on the self-acceptance items were selected and randomly divided into experimental and control groups. Each member of the experimental group was conditioned to a pre-determined criterion on the 18 self-acceptance items of Form A of the scale. Members of the control group received the same treatment except that reinforcement of responses was withheld. Immediately after the conditioning procedure, each S completed 50 questionnaire items drawn from Forms A and B of the scale. The results are interpreted as demonstrating that attitudes which are theoretically relevant to social interaction can be modified by means of verbal conditioning techniques.

The aim of the present study was to examine the effect of an online live group program with Greek traditional dances on the self-esteem and anxiety of the participants. The research involved 147 people, 43 men and 104 women, aged 49,73±8,141 years old, members of Cultural Clubs. The participants were randomly divided into the experimental group (N=75) and the control group (N=72). The experimental group participated in online live group lessons of Greek traditional dances, through the online platform ZOOM, twice a week. Each lesson had a 45-minute duration and the program lasted 12 weeks, during the quarantine imposed due to COVID-19. During the same period of 12 weeks, the control group continued its daily life in quarantine. The participants in both groups completed the Heatherton and Polivy (1991) State Self-Esteem Scale to measure performance self-esteem, social self-esteem and appearance self-esteem, as well as the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory-FORM X-1 by Spielberger et al. (1970) for the measurement of state anxiety, before and after the 12-week period. The processing of the data showed that after participating in the online live group program of Greek traditional dances, the participants in the experimental group significantly increased their performance self-esteem (t=-7,75, p<0,001), social self-esteem (t=-5,23, p<0,001), and appearance self-esteem (t=-5,67, p<0,001), but they significantly reduced their state anxiety (t=7,33, p<0,001). Regarding the participants in the control group, after the 12-week period, the studied variables moved in the undesirable direction, as evidenced by the reduction in self-esteem factors and the increase in state anxiety. The results show that participating in Greek traditional dance group programs, which are conducted live online, affects positively the self-esteem and state anxiety of the participants. Consequently, during these difficult health times that the whole world is experiencing, participating in online live group programs of Greek traditional dance may improve the participants’ psychological state, offering at the same time the solution on the one hand to distance oneself from other people and on the other hand to come in contact with people.

This research highlights the effect of paint therapy group counseling on college students’ achievement in the field of education. For this purpose, we have used a quasiexperimental design with pretest/posttest of control group and experimental group. The sample used in our experiment consists of 18 students at a university in Guangdong Province. Participants were randomly assigned to two groups, i.e., experimental group and control group, and completed pretest and posttest measures of self-acceptance and self-evaluation over 2 months. The difference between the two groups before and after the intervention was determined using an independent-samples t-test. We have also used a paired-sample t-test to compare the effects of the intervention on the experimental achievement scores of the groups. The results showed that the self-acceptance score in the experimental group’s posttest was 40.78 ± 6.91 (t = 3.66, p < 0.01 ), while the scores of self-acceptance factor and self-evaluation factor were 20.67 ± 4.12 (t = 3.19, p < 0.05 ) and 20.11 ± 3.59 (t = 3.71, p < 0.01 ), respectively. Besides, the two months, posttest follow-up showed that the self-acceptance score was 43.67 ± 4.64 (t = 1.0, p < 0.05 ), and the scores of self-acceptance factor and self-evaluation factor were 22.11 ± 2.85 (t = 4.06, p < 0.01 ) and 21.56 ± 2.65 (t = 2.86, p < 0.05 ), respectively.
