University Adaptation

There is a necessary for self-regulation of a personality during change of leading sort of activity and adaptation to new one. The article considers means which is able to contribute for increase of social adaptation at University. The interconnection between socio-psychological adaptation of students at University and parameters of empathy has been discovered by empirical way. This connection has been examined on analytical, structural and functional levels by using both methods of qualitative and statistical analysis, based on system approach to the research. It was used such methods of interrogation as `Assessment of the level of empathic abilities` by V. V. Boyko; `The methodology of diagnosis of socio-psychological adaptation` by C. Rogers and R. Diamond; `Adaptation of students to University` by M. S. Yurkina. The selection including 233 people was divided into levels by degree of manifestation of expectation for internal control for consideration of features. It includes low level (external control), medium level (optimum) and high one (internal control). It was determined that internal locus of control has an impact on increase of adaptation to University life. It was figured out that there is a manifestation of self-control in individuals who get predominance of conative parameters of empathy. Increase of adaptation is able to be achieved by using combination of the system elements such as an augmentation of facilitate empathic impacts, decrease of inhibitory ones and transformation of neutral effects of empathy on socio-psychological adaptation. Attention was also paid to the research of the structural complex both in general and in its individual manifestations. The structural analysis let to reveal basic and system-forming features of examined connection. Thus, conditions for the average manifestation of expectation of internal control have been found and it was determined that this phenomenon takes on base significance because its middle values promote for integration of system ingredients and increase of system system ability to adaptation process. In such a way it has been proved that harmonization of personality structure is possible being achieved due the increase of self-control and correction of empathic means as a mechanism of responsiveness.

The Individual

Internal control refers to the perception of an event as contingent upon one’s own behavior, capacities or one’s relatively permanent characteristics. External control, on the other hand, indicates that a positive or negative reinforcement following some action of the individual is perceived as not being entirely contingent upon his or her own action but the result of chance, fate, or luck or it may be perceived as under the control of powerful others and unpredictable because of the complexity of forces surrounding the individual (Anastasi, 1988). If we believe that we are the cause of most events, we have a highly internal locus of control. If we believe that most events in our life are caused by luck, fate or powerful others, we have a highly external locus of control. (Morgan et.al.1986).

To conduct a structural analysis of socio-psychological maladaptation in women with depressive disorders of different genesis depending on the severity of meso- and microsocial influences, to develop personalized psychosocial rehabilitation measures for this group of patients, 252 women were examined and diagnosed with depressive 94 with depressive disorder of psychogenic genesis, 83 women with endogenous depression and 75 patients with depressive disorder of organic genesis. Patients were divided into groups depending on the genesis of depressive disorder and the presence and severity of problems in psychosocial functioning. The study was conducted using clinical-psychopathological and psychodiagnostic methods. The study confirmed the previous hypothesis about the association of the manifestations of socio-psychological maladaptation as a structural component of depression, depending on the vulnerability to meso- and microsocial stress-inducing factors, with any genesis of depressive disorder. There is a tendency to increase the signs of maladaptation, self-rejection, rejection of other emotional discomfort, external control, and information, and decrease signs of adaptability, truthfulness, self-acceptance, acceptance of others, emotional comfort, internal control, dominance with increasing load as meso- and and microsocial factors. The most pronounced differences in the indicators of socio-psychological maladaptation were found in people with microsocial problems, less pronounced - in mesosocial maladaptation. The identified patterns should be taken into account in the development of treatment and rehabilitation and preventive measures for depressive disorders in women.

The paper considers psychological adaptation in the conditions of military service. The author argues that adaptation to a new social role, a new professional environment, and military relations requires a person to mobilize all his adaptive resources and developed self-regulation skills. As the main indicators of readiness for psychological adaptation, the adaptation experience of a serviceman in the pre-conscription period and psychological resistance to adaptation processes are considered. An indicator of psychological adaptation in the narrow sense of the word is the quality of the military personnel’s development of a military accounting specialty. As a result of psychological diagnostics and analysis of adaptive indicators of the subjects, all participants of the study were divided into three groups. The first group of military personnel needs additional time to fully master the military accounting specialty, because they have problems with psychological readiness to learn new types of activities, and they perceive the service situation as stressful and impossible for them. The second group includes military personnel who have shown a high level of development of military accounting specialty, but have insufficient psychological ability to adapt and have not had extensive experience of social adaptation in civilian life. The third group includes military personnel who demonstrate a high level of development of military accounting specialty in the initial period of military service. Recommendations on adaptation have been developed for each group, which are presented as a threelevel model of psychological adaptation of military personnel to the conditions of military service. The model is a complex of organizational, psychological, educational and professional activities aimed at the development of personal qualities of military personnel that contribute to improving the level of adaptive development. The implementation of the proposed model allows you to build working relationships in the military team; to form a belief in the need to improve the quality of knowledge for successful military professional activities; to successfully perform their professional military duties; to implement personal adaptation resources.

Discipline is a condition of employee self-control and orderly behavior that indicates the true level of teamwork within an organization. One important but often difficult aspect of internal employee relations is the application of disciplinary action. This study aims to look at the relationship between the locus of internal control and the discipline of work. The subjects in this study were personnel of the Mobile Brigadier Unit in the North Sumatra Regional Police with a total of 80 personnel. The data analysis method used in this study was Pearson's correlation and obtained a very significant positive relationship between the locus of internal control and the work discipline, where r = 0.4714 and p < 0.01. This means that the higher the locus of internal control, the higher the work discipline. On the contrary the less locus of internal control, the lower the discipline of its work. The internal locus of control contributes to the work discipline of 0.510. This means 51% of internal locus control affects personnel work discipline. From this percentage, it can be stated that there is still 49% influence of other factors on the work discipline of Mobile Brigadier personnel, among them are leadership style factors, and work environment.

Background. The relevance of the study is associated with the need to increase the effectiveness of measures to prevent the development of mental disorders in law enforcement officers and to form a stable psychological adaptation to high-intensity stressors when working in extreme conditions. Aim. The paper aims to evaluate the adaptability of people of extreme jobs with different indicators of regulatory systems during stress modeling. Materials and methods. 158 male officers of law enforcement agencies aged from 18 to 49 years with various types of professional activity were examined: 1) security profile – 24 employees of the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia; 2) sensory-motor/sensory-gnostic profile – 92 males of military contract service of the Armed forces of Russia; 3) team profile – 42 officers of the Armed forces of Russia. The use of biofeedback data allowed to evaluate the indicators of regulatory systems in the initial functional state and during stress modeling. The study of individual psychological features was conducted using a battery of psychological tests. Results. Individual psychological features of professional reliability in law enforcement officers with high, medium and low indicators of regulatory systems during stress modeling were determined. It was revealed that individuals with exhausted regulatory systems were characterized by a low autonomy of regulatory processes, difficulties in goals setting, an expanded sphere of saving emotions, and low activation of behavior aimed at pleasure seeking. Conclusion. Empirical data confirmed the feasibility of creating a method for comprehensive psychological, neurobiological and psychovegetative diagnostics of self-control and self-regulation, which allows expanding the existing arsenal of predictive tools for evaluating behavioral responses in people of extreme jobs that require high mental reserves and neuropsychological stability. Taking into account the individual psychological features of law enforcement officers with different activity of regulatory systems is considered as essential for the creation of individualized preventive and rehabilitation programs.

Purpose This study aims to explore the influence of casino servicescape on unplanned gaming behaviors by examining the mediating role of casino customers’ perceived behavioral control (i.e. perceived internal and external control). Design/methodology/approach Data were collected from 475 casino customers using street intercept survey. Multiple regression analysis was used to evaluate the mediating role of perceived behavioral control. Findings Results show a negative indirect effect of casino servicescape evaluation on customers’ unplanned gaming behaviors through perceived internal control. Moreover, casino customers’ perceived external control does not mediate the relationship between casino servicescape evaluation and unplanned gaming behaviors. Research limitations/implications Findings suggest that a favorable casino servicescape may enhance customers’ perception of control over their personal resources (e.g. skills and knowledge), which in turn facilitate self-regulation of their unplanned gaming behaviors. The findings are limited to Chinese casino customers, and researchers should further validate the results for non-Chinese casino patrons. Practical implications To casino operators, results suggest that the Friedman-style casino design (i.e. compact gambling areas and low ceilings) potentially encourages unplanned gaming behaviors of casino customers. From social-policy perspective, governments can create effective responsible gaming programs by enhancing casino customers’ perceived internal control. Originality/value This study illuminates the process that connects casino servicescape with unplanned gaming behavior by explicitly testing the mediating role of customers’ perceived behavioral control. Moreover, it examines unplanned gaming behaviors of leisure gamblers who represent the mass gaming population.

Socio-psychological adaptation of the employee is an important condition for the success of professional activities, determining the effectiveness and reliability of the subject in performing operational tasks. The scientific significance of the problem is actualized in the professions of social orientation and requires not only physiological adaptations, but analysis of prospects predict the dynamics of adaptation, a constructive interaction and cooperation in socio-professional environment. Current empirical studies show that law enforcement problems of professional adaptation involve a lot of social regulatory factors, value and moral content. In the presented results of empirical research the peculiarities of socio-psychological adaptation of employees of internal Affairs bodies with different level of personal adaptive capacity are discussed. Statistical analysis of indicators of two groups of adapted and unadapted staff allowed us to establish reliably significant differences in the adaptation on physical, psychological and social levels. It was revealed that employees with low levels of adaptive capacity are different in asthenic reactions, neuropsychological instability, emotional discomfort, severity of negative emotional state. The overall profile of socio-psychological adaptation is characterized by low level of behavioral self-regulation and communicative potential difficulties in establishing a constructive relationship, deconditioning disorders. It was found that employees with a high level of personal adaptive capacity are different in activity and performance, neuro-psychological stability, the capacity for behavioral self-control, communicative abilities and moral normativity. Indicators of socio-psychological adaptation demonstrate the ability to adequate perception of social norms, the availability of professional motives in the activities, alignment of personal interests with the interests of the service activities, goodwill in the relationship, cooperation and responsibility.

The features of the mental health of 150 servicemen (an experimental group), who perform military service in submerged command posts, are analyzed in comparison with 60 servicemen whose professional activities are outside the influence of the conditions of these points (control group). It has been established that the mental health indicators of the military personnel of the experimental group differ for the worse in comparison with the same indicators in the control group. With an increase in the duration of service in the buried points, the severity of mental disorders increases, and the level of social adaptation decreases, which necessitates an expansion of the scope of psycho-preventive measures. Within the framework of psycho-prevention, it is advisable to conduct psychocorrectional measures with the use of methods of mental self-regulation, allowing to improve the neuro-psychological adaptation of military personnel.
