The relevance of studying the self- assessment of cadets of the Suvorov Military School of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia and its relationship with psychological health is due to the need to increase the effectiveness of the system of psychological support for cadets during the period of pre-university education, the purpose of which is to compensate for the deficiencies in the adaptive abilities of adolescents and their further personal and professional self-determination. One of the main criteria for assessing a cadet’s career opportunities in the law enforcement system is his self-assessment. A young man entering the Suvorov Military School of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia does not always proportion the level of his physical, intellectual and personal capabilities with those requirements of the educational environment of a military school. The inability of adolescents to adequately assess their strengths and weaknesses complicates the process of professional self-determination, in connection with which a significant percentage of the pupils who entered the school experience difficulties in adaptation, are disappointed in their choice and make a decision to expel. The study resulted in a correlation between the self-esteem of the cadets of the Suvorov Military School of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia with the resource of their psychological health, reflecting the ratio of constructive and destructive-deficient central (unconscious) personality functions. Another finding is a significant difference in the self-assessment of cadets assigned to different groups of psychological health. The practical significance of the research findings is determined by the possibility of their effective use in the system of psychological support for pre-university training of cadets of the Suvorov military school, including the period of mass psycho-prophylactic examinations and the provision of targeted psychological assistance to cadets with low self-assessment.

Against the background of social changes in the last decade, the increasing priority of the role of a child in relation to the role of an adult, modern adolescents are faced with a choice of growing-up strategies, which is accompanied by an internal conflict of this process, a contradiction between the laws of development, including social and modern cultural imperatives. This urgent problem is in the focus of the presented research. The process of modern Russian adolescents growing-up in the context of their professional self-determination is analyzed. Professional self-determination is considered as a factor of positive growing-up acceptance due to certain value orientations. It is assumed that the choice of a future profession made by adolescents (i.e., their professional self-determination) increases their self-assessment of adulthood, and value orientations can act as its predictors as determining the meaning of growing up for them. The study involved 302 male teenagers aged 14-17 years, including: 148 cadets of the Suvorov School of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia and 154 students of secondary schools. The study used the questionnaire method, modified Dembo - Rubinstein Self-Assessment Methods and Schwartz Value Survey. Statistical processing was based on a comparative ( F -tests and the Mann -Whitney U test), variance ( F ), and regression ( B ) analyses. The results of the study show that the professional self-determination of adolescents increases their self-assessment of adulthood. The professional self-determination of adolescents is associated with the factor of primary professional socialization, namely, the conditions of the educational environment in which they grow up. The value orientations of adolescents are predictors of their self-assessment of adulthood, and are mediated by group, gender, and social stereotypes in the image of an adult and the role of an adult.

A comparison of stress and self-esteem as made between a group of 23 couples in treatment who had abused their children and 23 control couples who were matched for age, race, sex, education, and occupation. Stress was measured by the Recent Life Changes Questionnaire. Self-esteem was measured by a synthesis of 38 items selected by mental health professionals from the Clarke Parent/Child Relations Questionnaire and the Self-description and Mate Description Form. Analysis of variance showed that couples who had abused their children had significantly greater stress than control couples. However, there was no significant difference between the groups on the measure of self-esteem. There was also no interaction effect of stress with self-esteem on abuse. While it seems well established that stress is a major contributor in child abuse, the interaction of stress with personality factors of parents who abuse their children remains uncertain.

Maintenance of certification (MOC) within a medical society requires continuing medical education that demonstrates life-long learning, cognitive expertise, and practice-based self-assessment. This prospective study sought to evaluate whether a self-directed Practice Improvement Module (PIM) would improve pediatric orthopedic patient outcomes, thus demonstrating evidence of life-long learning (Part II MOC credit) in treating supracondylar humerus fractures. Six surgeons and 113 patients were included. There was no significant difference in actual fracture outcome before or after PIM at any level of surgeon experience regarding radiographic appearance or need for reoperation (p>0.10). Junior staff demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in the percentage of time that marking the operative site was documented in the chart by the surgeon before (38%) and after (65%) PIM (p=0.02). The self-directed education portion of the supracondylar fracture PIM led to modest improvement in documentation habits among junior staff, without impact on overall patient outcomes. Therefore, the PIM appears to be less useful in providing evidence for life-long learning as it relates to surgical outcomes (Part II MOC/CME), yet, it may directly benefit practice-based self-assessment (Part IV MOC), and the self-assessment and Personal Improvement Plan may be the most important portion of the PIM to improve outcomes.

Abstract The results of the work show that the relatively small differences in declared, negative emotional states (such as depression or anxiety) between people suffering and not suffering from cancer can be explained by the suppression of negative affect in the former. It was assumed that the suppression is related to a compensation of an automatic, affective self-assessment - i.e. implicit self-esteem, lower in cancer patients. The results confirmed that the connection of cancer and depression (similarly cancer and anxiety) became significantly stronger while the self-esteem defensiveness and past stress are statistically controlled.

The main provisions of the concept of professional self-determination of students by means of the discipline “Mathematics” are given. There are three main stages of the self-determination process. It is argued that at each stage of mathematics is inherent in the ability to indirectly promote professional self-determination in various fields of activity, and the means of realizing such opportunities is task-oriented material of a practice-oriented and professionally-oriented nature. It is proposed to consider these problems in the context of the process of mathematical modeling. The tasks of the “pre-professional” orientation were analyzed and recommended for use, corresponding to each of the stages of self-determination and stimulating interest in such areas of professional activity as construction, economics, medicine, jurisprudence, etc.

In the comprehensive rehabilitation of patients with cancer, physical exercise is considered as an additional method of prevention of anxiety spectrum disorders, which increases the level of self-esteem. Improving the psychological status of children can be associated with sports achievements when participating in the Winners Games competitions, preparation for which includes not only physical exercises but psychological support. The aim of the study was to assess the dynamics of the psychological status in children with cancer when preparing for the Winners Games. Material and methods: the study included 20 children with cancer aged from 8 to 12 years who were planning to participate in the Winners Games. Psychological support of theparticipants was aimed at self-regulation skills, relationships with partners and the coach, adequate motivation, and the exercises necessary for maintaining psychological status during the competition. A number of indicators were studied such as the level of self-esteem (Rosenberg test), the level of anxiety (the Luscher color test) and psychodiagnostic examination (the Cattell’s method) in the beginning of training and after three months. To compare the average group values, the Student's T-test was used. To evaluate the distribution (qualitative characteristics), the Fischer F-test was performed. Results: an assessment of the dynamics of the psychophysiological status in children with cancer preparing for the Winners Games (at the beginning of training and 3 months after physical training and psychological support) revealed a decrease in the number of children with low self-esteem and high anxiety (p < 0.05). There was a statistically significant improvement in the emotional-volitional and communicative properties of children, as well as in the features of interpersonal interaction. There was a significant difference in terms of extreme estimates (low and high level) indicating the improvement of emotional stability and motivation, as well as the reduction of anxiety, isolation and timidity, and enhancement of sociability, courage. Conclusion: The results obtained demonstrate a decrease in the number of children with a low level and an increase in the number of children with a high level of emotionalvolitional characteristics and communicative properties, which indicates the effectiveness of psychological support for children with cancer preparing for the Winners Games.

The article discusses the development of professional skills in students, as a condition for the training of a police officer. The research is revealed that the main contradiction of professional self-development of students of educational institutions of higher education of the system of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia lays between the requirements of the profession to the specialist’ personal qualities and the level of awareness to these requirements by cadets. The pedagogical conditions for the transformation of students’ personal qualities into professional qualities are considered in the article. The students features during the adaptation period are highlighted. The possibility of the professional self-development activation is revealed not only by direct, but also by indirect influence to the students, through the formation of a sociopsychological environment, where professional self-development will be approved. It describes the identification mechanism for the readiness of students to adopt professional qualities in the educational environment through the stages of professional self-development. The main way of transforming personal qualities into professional ones is revealed - this is the formation of professional self-consciousness on the basis of an adequate self-assessment of the knowledge gained about the profession. As a result of the study, the level of professional qualities of students increased. In the described study, the following methods were used: a questionnaire survey, the «Locuscontrol» technique by j. Rotter, a comparative analysis, a content analysis.
