This investigation aims to identify the personal features and psychological status of the unemployed person and the ways of work with people who are currently unemployed. This article is about unemployed person characteristics under self-concept. Also, this article includes scientific and theoretical representations about a “fully functioning” person by the emotional, cognitive and behavioural components of self-awareness. The results of unemployed person research are presented based on the result analysis and observation. For example, 3% of unemployed people consider that they have a deficient level of efficiency. Lower than average level of efficiency has 8,5% of the interview. Working qualities as very high considered 46% of men and 26% of women. Higher than average ability to work considered 76% of men and 68% of women. Also, 8% of men and 5% of women rate themselves as adventurous people. As people with low entrepreneurship, rate themselves about 55% of all unemployed. Also, 28% of people rated their mental state as satisfied, and only 6% - as confident and optimistic. Only one-third of the unemployed (34%) are in a subjectively favourable state of affairs, while the remaining 66% feel some negative experiences. It is important to mention that the construct of self-concept is appropriate to use in determining the goals of correction and development work. Corrective and development work involves a set of activities aimed at psychological support and elimination of negative aspects in the psychology of the unemployed person.

This article presents a categorical method for analyzing the complex processes of personal identity. Human experiences are a result of conscious generalizations that dominate culture and are fixed in semantic categories. The rapid transformation of society fragments a life into many identifying parameters. Therefore, «a self-concept» and a semantic category of being may not be consistent with each other. The harmonious level of self-organization is manifested in the sensory coherence of people: an intention and an expectation. And fragmentation is a chaos of self-awareness and loss of an emotional stability. In a complicating society, the identity of a person becomes multiple and ambiguous. These studies will determine not only the social level of human self-organization, but begin the search for a method to maintain them. The article attempts to consider a categorical method for analyzing the self-identification properties of a people.

The purpose of this study was to determine how a child's self-concept influences their drug attitudes and behaviors. In addition to identifying specific drug practices, students responded to four subscales of the California Test of Personality. “Anti-Social Tendencies” and “Family Relations” correlated significantly and negatively with the use of almost all substances and positively with drug attitude. “Feeling of Belongong” was related negatively to the use of the more dangerous drugs.

Much local economic policy in the UK assumes either an inward investment guise or involves some form of work with the local productive sector. This article critically examines both forms of policy as practised in a Merseyside context. It concludes that inward investment and local industrial development work undertaken by MERCEDO was in many ways regressive and broadly reducible to the development of capital. The later orientation of MERCEDO policy towards the unemployed and other labour groups is found to be a more progressive form of intervention.

Abstract The present study investigated incarceration as a possible triggering factor of self-concept transformations. Self-concept consists of a set of multiple dimensions organized hierarchically functioning as cognitive schemas. It is a structural complex product of reflective activity, and it is susceptible to changes as the individual encounters new situations, life transitions, and social roles. To investigate the transformations in the self-concept structure, 150 incarcerated women responded to the Feminine Inventory of the Self-Concept's Gender Schemas, Self-Concept Clarity Scale and Situational Self-Awareness Scale. The results showed dynamic and multidimensional organization of self-concept in the women investigated, including various categories of the self. The elements analyzed indicate that prison, an undesirable life event in adulthood, is a driver of transformations in the dynamics of self-concept.


At the present stage of development of society the problem of identification and self- identification of the person becomes actual one. Individual consciousness is split by the influence of mass culture, the use of technologies of consciousness change, for example, in situations of formation of public opinion, the absolutization of any facet of a person (a person who produces, a person who consumes, etc.). The problem of self-identification without understanding the essence of man cannot be solved. The essential characteristic of man is consciousness. As a generic characteristic, consciousness is manifested in each individual through the prism of the unique essence of a particular personality. The component structure of consciousness includes will, knowledge, emotions (volitional, rational-mental and emotional-sensual spheres) and self-consciousness. Modern deconstruction of personality is carried out mainly through deconstruction of the rational-mental sphere; therefore, there is reason to assume that the relationship of this component with others is a backbone. Analysis of the absolutization of other components of consciousness (will and emotions) shows that formlessness or emptiness is what the essence of a person becomes when such a component as rationality is removed from his consciousness. Postmodernism captures the «death of the subject». He emphasizes the impossibility of an independent individual consciousness. The subject is transformed into an instrument of blind impersonal social processes. Information technology is used to influence people's minds. A person begins to represent reality not in accordance with his personal perception, but through its reflection in the media. From the above we can see all the difficulties of self-determination in the information society. Information society and mass culture replicated by it lead to internal disharmony and fragmentary personality. This could lead to her false identification. Therefore, it is necessary to be clearly aware of the situation, so that there is no substitution of the personality by the«likeness», that is, not to become a «quasi-personality». To resist the existing state of affairs, the subject must be only integral one on the personal and generic levels, and not fragmented, "decentralized" individual, devoid of self-awareness and clear identity. Therefore, modern man needs to develop the ability to form his own judgment and strive to penetrate into the essence of processes and phenomena.
