Potential Failure

Being an entrepreneur encompasses a number of traits. Used as an “umbrella term,” it constitutes self-motivation, leadership, resilience, proactivity, creativity, and a sense of light-hearted preparation to deal with potential failure in different aspects of the startup. These individual traits are prevalent in most people; however, it is the combination of them, alongside sound physical health and access to social resources that allows an entrepreneur to enjoy success in due time. Psychological theory and practice may inform techniques in developing and facilitating what it takes to succeed as an entrepreneur. Specifically, health psychology explains how individuals' unique biological, psychological, and social factors, as informed by biopsychosocial theory, together produce adaptive or maladaptive behaviors. To translate this for the context of entrepreneurship, only an individual, who is physiologically healthy or otherwise manages their physical condition well, might enjoy entrepreneurial success.

Mental Problems

Many mission leaders have been confronted with counseling problems, although until recently there has been reluctance to incorporate psychopathologies and therapies into training and experience on a professional level. However, Hesselgrave, to cite one example, joins other early pioneers among missiologists in treating such a field in both book and journals as he has probed into psychocultural facets that involve personnel with mental problems. This paper is an effort to diagnose mental illness in a major culture area that is dominated by Islam in values and worldview. The intent is to apply an “emic” (Pike) approach to psychocultural pathologies in order to assist Christians as they employ psychological theory and practice cross-culturally.

The Relationship

Nona Plessner Lyons offers interview data from female and male children, adolescents,and adults in support of the assertions of Carol Gilligan (HER, 1977) that there are two distinct modes of describing the self in relation to others—separate/objective and connected—as well as two kinds of considerations used by individuals in making moral decisions—justice and care. She then describes a methodology, developed from the data, for systematically and reliably identifying these modes of self-definition and moral judgment through the use of two coding schemes. Finally, an empirical study testing Gilligan's hypotheses of the relationship of gender to self-definition and moral judgment is presented with implications of this work for psychological theory and practice.

Integrated Research

Changing individuals' health behaviour seems to be the key to solving many of the world's health problems. Although there is a multitude of potential influences, many interventions to improve health seek to change intrinsic psychological determinants of health behaviour. To date, most attention has been paid to cognitions, such as attitudes and beliefs, and a number of social cognition models (SCM) are in current use. SCM all describe cognitions as determinants of behaviour, thereby implying that changes in cognitions will lead to changes in behaviour. Although SCM are widely used to predict a range of health behaviours, they are associated with a number of important limitations, including poor levels of predictive power, particularly in relation to eating behaviour, and limited guidance about the operationalisation of theoretical constructs. These limitations may explain why very few interventions to change behaviour are explicitly theory-based, despite the widely-held view that having a clear theoretical underpinning will improve effectiveness. Ultimately, advances in understanding and changing health behaviour will come about only if psychological theory and practice are integrated. The recently-published taxonomy of behaviour-change techniques used in interventions is a good example of integrated research, but more work of this type is essential and will require respectful collaboration between researchers and practitioners working from a range of different disciplines such as health psychology, public health nutrition and health promotion.

The research deals with the problem of the formation of life scenarios of students-migrants and their sanogenic thinking through the prism of socio-cultural adaptation. The authors point out that the sanogenic thinking reduces internal conflicts, allows you to control emotions, needs and desires, and thus prevents diseases. The article is presented the model of the formation of students’ sanogenic thinking that can be a key way to restore individual wellbeing. The article proves that scenario decisions of students-migrants are unconscious, irrational mind sets for adapting to life. In this regard, the modality of students-migrants contact with socio-cultural surroundings which impacts the establishment of acculturation strategies has been predicted and featured. The authors established a correlation between certain types of socio-cultural adaptation and the prohibition of the scenario. The authors prove that the process of the development of the students’ sanogenic thinking through the prism of socio-cultural adaptation can enrich psychological theory and practice with new experience and become a means of support for the interested reader.

The article examines the assessment of the current physical condition of students who entered the first year and participated in this survey. This is a prerequisite for assessing the physical fitness of students and the effectiveness of further improvement of training sessions, new programs, recovery activities and the like. In this regard, within the framework of our survey, an analysis of indicators reflecting the level of physical fitness, physical performance, functional state of the circulatory and external respiration systems and physical health of students enrolled in the first year was carried out. The general level of their physical fitness, obtained on the basis of the values, was processed with the help of the computer program "OBEREG" and was considered as below average. So at the beginning of the academic year, the majority of students (46.67%) of the total number of students in the group were characterized by a lower than average level of physical fitness, 26.67% of them had an average value of this indicator, and 13.33% was low and above average.

Professional Self

Professional self-determination in adolescence for many years has been one of the hot topics of psychological theory and practice. Research in the field of personal and professional self-determination, career choice, continues to be a priority. Professional self-determination is part of the general process of socialization of adolescents, a necessary condition for their success and competitiveness in today's socio-economic realities. And it raises the question of what should be psychological and educational support in these conditions? Problems of career choice are considered on three sides: in the context of the social situation in which there are modern teenagers; from the perspective of adolescents themselves, choosing the profession; taking into account the peculiarities of psycho-pedagogical support of professional self-determination of teenagers nowadays. Analysis of problems leads us to the possible ways of solving them, and the need to build a new model of career guidance.
