Vlasova); “Test “Determination of the personal adaptation of schoolchildren” (A. Furman); “The person orientation inventory questionnaire (POI, E. Shostrom)”; «Methodology» Anxiety scale «(J. Taylor); «Methodology» Definition of the general emotional orientation of the individual «(B. Dodonov); Technique «Man in the rain» (O. Romanova, T. Sytko); author's questionnaire, which helped to determine the adolescents subjective view of happiness. Statistical data processing was performed by using the capabilities of the SPSS-21 computer program. Experimental work was carried out during 2013-2017 on the basis of Kyiv educational institutions. The total number of subjects covered 400 students of the 8th -9th grades studying with in-depth study of physics and mathematics. The students of physical and mathematical lyceums have an anxiety level corresponding to the age standards, the greatest is the indicator of self-assessed anxiety, the leading emotional orientation is romantic, praxical, gnostic and communicative, have an average level of self-actualization and an obvious level of personal non-adaptability. Subjective well-being is at an average level and has links with personal adaptability and altruistic emotional orientation. Girls, compared to boys in terms of learning exact sciences, are more romantically and aesthetically emotionally oriented, with a higher personal growth. The main factors of subjective well-being of students of physical and mathematical lyceums are personal adaptation, gnostic and altruistic orientation, low level of school anxiety and a high level of self-actualization. The study of subjective well-being of the students of physical and mathematical lyceums has helped to establish the close interdependent connection between personal adaptability, self-actualization, altruistic and praxical emotional orientation and subjective well-being of students. In addition, the level of subjective well-being is most influenced by its components as a goal in life, self-perception and positive attitude. An important factor is a respondent’s accommodation or non-accommodation in hostel, because it may affect his|her subjective characteristics, the formation of personal traits and relationships with others.

The article analyzes the social and psychological factors of psychological well-being of the individual. The results of psychological well-being between homosexuals and heterosexuals were examined and compared. The complexity of studying the phenomenon of psychological well-being is due to the fact that the mechanism of its formation is in the social environment and in the inner world of man. An attempt is made to reveal their essence on the basis of researches in world and national science. The components that provide positive personality functioning are analyzed and investigated: autonomy, environmental management, personal growth, positive relationships with others, presence of life goals and self-acceptance. Psychological well-being of the individual is considered as an integral indicator of the degree of realization of the personality of one's own orientation, which is subjectively manifested in feelings of happiness, satisfaction with life and oneself. It is concluded that this phenomenon touches on all aspects of people's lives, both homo- and hetero-orientations, and therefore, a person with any sexual orientation is capable of self-actualization, self-development, life satisfaction and the exercise of one's choice.

Internationalization is one of the current directions of education development. Specially organized university work and identification of features of self-actualization in foreign students will contribute to the development of more effective programs of psychological support during socio-psychological adaptation. Aim. The paper aims to identify the personal features of foreign students with a high and low level of self-actualization during socio-psychological adaptation. Materials and methods. 52 foreign students aged from 18 to 32 years studying in London were examined. The study was based on the following methods: Yankovsky questionnaire of adaptation to a new socio-cultural environment, the Rogers and Diamond technique of diagnosis of socio-psychological adaptation, the Jones and Crandall Short Index of self-actualization, etc. The results for interpretation were obtained by statistical analysis (Mann – Whitney criterion) and correlation analysis (Spearman rank correlation coefficient) using SPSS 22.0 statistical software package. Results. Foreign students with a high level of self-actualization experience subjective well-being, and social surrounding is significant to them; however, subjective well-being is reduced when it is impossible to preserve individuality and choose a conformal type of adaptation. Foreign students with a low level of self-actualization have a subjective disadvantage that lessens when maintaining their individuality, pragmatic orientation, the acceptance of others, and self-actualization. Nevertheless, foreign students with a low level of self-actualization demonstrated a correlation between self-actualization and the interactive type of adaptation. Conclusion. The prospects for self-actualization of foreign students with a high and low level of self-actualization and the specifics of their socio-psychological adaptation have been studied.

The aim of the current study is to look for theoretically and empirically grounded proof for the correlation between aspirations – extrinsic and intrinsic- determining the motivation – and the psychological wellbeing of adolescents in 11th grade. Materialistic orientation is expressed in the preferences of extrinsic goals such as fame, wealth and image, while the intrinsic aspirations are related to preferences of aspirations for personal growth, personal relationships and community contribution. High level of psychological wellbeing is measured through the six elements from K. Ryff’s definition: self-acceptance, positive interaction with others, autonomy, managing of environment, meaning and personal growth. The research includes a group of 50 students in two Bulgarian high schools.

This paper evaluates the independent effect of the spatial proximity of green urban areas upon the individual subjective well-being of the Milan population (Italy). The methodology is based on a survey undertaken in 2010 using a sample of 1,000 of Milan citizens. Univariate and multivariate analyses and GIS localization have been employed in order to rank the major individual well-being determinants and the relationship between citizens and urban green areas. Results show that the residential proximity of citizens to urban green areas seems to have little bearing on individual subjective well-being.

Purpose As luxury goods are losing their importance for demonstrating status, wealth or power to others, individuals are searching for alternative status symbols. Recently, individuals have increasingly used conspicuous consumption and displays of experiences on social media to obtain affirmation. This study aims to analyze the effects of luxury and nonluxury experiences, as well as traditional luxury goods on status- and nonstatus-related dimensions. Design/methodology/approach After presenting the theoretical foundation, the authors conduct a study with 599 participants to compare status perceptions elicited by the conspicuous consumption of luxury goods, luxury experiences and nonluxury experiences. The authors investigate whether experiences that are visibly consumed on Instagram are replacing traditional luxury goods as the most important status symbols. Furthermore, the authors examine the effects of the content shown on nonstatus-related dimensions and analyze whether status perceptions differ between female and male social media communicators. Finally, the authors analyze how personal characteristics (self-esteem, self-actualization and materialism) influence the status perceptions of others on social media. Findings The results show that luxury goods are still the most important means of displaying status. However, especially for women, luxury experiences are also associated with a high level of social status. Thus, the results imply important gender differences in the perceptions of status- and nonstatus-related dimensions. Furthermore, the findings indicate that, in particular, the individual characteristics of self-actualization and materialism affect status perceptions depending on the posted content. Originality/value While the research has already considered some alternative forms of conspicuous consumption, little attention has been given to experiences as status symbols. However, with their growing importance as substitutes for luxury goods and the rise of social media, the desire to conspicuously consume experiences is increasing. The authors address this gap in the literature by focusing on the conspicuous display of luxury and nonluxury experiences on social media.

The article is devoted to the study of student's coping strategies influence on the level of their subjective well-being in conditions of distance learning. It was found that student's coping strategies have an impact on the level of their psychological comfort. Using regression analysis it was revealed that the variability of student's life well-being is determined by the following coping strategies: positive self-esteem; responsibility; planning; escape and self-control. It was developed the typology of students in the conditions of distance education, which includes such indicators of dominant coping strategies: the level of psychological comfort, dominant coping and measure of stress tolerance. According to the certain typology, three types of students were defined: 1) adaptive type (high indicators of well-being, high indicators of tolerance to stress, dominant strategies “self-esteem”, “responsibility” and “planning” ); 2) maladaptive type (low indicators of well-being, low indicators of tolerance to stress, dominant coping “escape”); 3) average adaptive type (average indicators of well-being, average indicators of tolerance to stress; dominant strategies “responsibility”, “self-control”, low indicators of coping “positive self-esteem”). The results of the study indicate that students who are best adapted to distance learning and have a high level of psychological comfort tend to evaluate themselves positively, treat work responsibly, plan their studies and have an average level of self-control.

Letting Go

There is a growing literature on nonattachment, defined as a flexible, balanced way of relating to experiences without clinging to or suppressing them. We developed a 7-item Nonattachment Scale (NAS-7) by shortening a previously validated 30-item measure (NAS; Sahdra, Shaver & Brown, 2010). NAS-7 was found to display strong psychometric properties in American and Australian samples (total N = 504), including a unidimensional factor structure and measurement invariance across different samples. The correlations of NAS-7 with other theoretically relevant constructs were virtually identical to the long-form NAS. Across different samples, NAS-7 assessed nonattachment was associated with greater autonomous regulation, self-actualization, psychological and subjective well-being, and reduced materialism and depressive symptoms. NAS-7 is a suitable alternative to the long-form NAS as it takes about half the time to complete than the long form without a substantial loss of information.
