The article investigates perfectionism as a psycho- logical phenomenon that combines the subject’s desire for perfection, the achievement of high personal moral, aesthetic, and intellectual standards. Theoretical approaches to the study of perfectionism in Ukrainian and foreign scientific literature are analyzed. The genesis of personal perfectionism is studied. It is revealed that the development of perfectionism is influenced by a system of motives, interests, and needs, which are closely related to such factors as values, ideals, attitudes, and beliefs. Psychological characteristics of individuals with a tendency to perfectionism and psychological characteristics of individuals who are not prone to perfectionism are compared. It is determined that the perfectionist orientation is initially socially marked. It is established that the formation of perfectionist tendencies is actively influenced by the social environment. The purpose is to highlight the results of a study of the manifestations of student youth’s perfectionism. Research methods include tests, questionnaires, and quantitative analy- sis. 11 males and 39 females participated in the study (n = 50). Results. It is established that students with pronounced indicators of perfectionism are character- ized by such volitional qualities as responsibility, atten- tiveness, ability to immerse themselves into work, but they have low indicators of such strong-willed qualities as determination and persistence. Perfectionists are characterized by low self-esteem, especially in terms of intelligence, character, abilities, confidence, and inde- pendence. The highest possible difference between the level of self-esteem and the level of demands. The individual-typological qualities of such students include extroversion, spontaneity, low level of lability and anxiety, and high self-esteem. The ratio of selfes- teem and the level of demands are moderate. Indica- tors of character, abilities and appearance, the average self-esteem, are higher than the level of demands. Con- clusions. The study indicates the existence of a signif- icant percentage of students with high and low levels of perfectionism. Students with a high rate of perfec- tionism are characterized by a tendency to set unre- alistically high standards, a compulsive aspiration of the unattainable, and an assessment of their self- value as a result of productivity only. They are a risk group in terms of further development of negative psycho-emotional states. Key words: perfectionism, student’s youth, ideal, personality, maladaptation. У статті досліджено перфекціонізм як психологічне явище, що поєднує прагнення суб’єкта до досконалості, досягнення високих особистісних моральних, естетичних, інтелектуальних стандартів. Проаналізовано теоретичні дослідження перфекціонізму науковців. Досліджено генезис перфекціонізму особистості. Виявлено, що на розвиток перфекціонізму впливає система мотивів, інтересів, потреб, які тісно пов’язані між собою такими чинниками, як цінності, ідеали, настановлення та переконання. Здійснено порівняння психологічних особливостей осіб зі схильністю до перфекціонізму та психологічних особливостей осіб не схильних до перфекціонізму. Визначено, що перфекціоністська орієнтація первісно має соціально-приписаний характер. Встановлено, що на формування перфекціоністських тенденцій активно впливає соціальне оточення. Метою статті є висвітлення результатів дослідження прояву перфекціонізму серед студентської молоді. Методами дослідження є тести зі стандартизованими анкетами, опитувальники, кількісне аналізування. Загальна кількість респондентів, які взяли участь у експерименті, складає 50 студентів, з них 11 юнаків та 39 дівчат. Результати. Встановлено, що для студентів з вираженими показниками перфекціонізму характерні такі вольові якості, як відповідальність, уважність, здатність глибоко занурюватися в роботу. Проте вони мають низькі показники за такими вольовими якостями, як рішучість і наполегливість. Для перфекціоністів характерна занижена самооцінка, особливо це стосується інтелекту, характеру, здібностей, впев- неності та самостійності з максимально високою розбіжністю рівня самооцінки та рівня домагань. До індивідуально–типологічних якостей таких студентів віднесено екстравертованість, спонтан- ність, низький рівень лабільності й тривожності, високу самооцінку. Співвідношення показників самооцінки та рівня домагань має помірний харак- тер. Висновки. Проведене дослідження вказує на існування значного відсотка студентів, що мають високий та низький рівень прояву перфекціонізму. Студенти з високим показником перфекціонізму характеризуються схильністю до встановлення нереалістично високих стандартів, компульсивним устремлінням до недосяжного та оцінкою своєї цінності лише в результаті продуктивності. Вони становлять групу ризику з точки зору розвитку в подальшому негативних психоемоційних станів. Ключові слова: самооцінка, студентська молодь, ідеал, особистість, дезадаптивність.

The article is devoted to the problems of intercultural communication in the era of globalization. The possibilities of dialogue and communication in the context of opposition to the theory of globalism, national ideology and national values are considered. The paper analyzes the opportunity of the existence of the so-called "universal" values, the potential of their combination and coexistence with traditional and national values. The article substantiates the interference in the affairs of other states of safe democratic values, leads not only to a poor standard of living of these states but also to the denial of the very idea of "democracy". In modern conditions of economic and, above all, financial globalization, the social self-determination of states, their elaboration of sustainable development goals and means of achieving them, will play an important role. This is the task of ideology, which must be rationally substantiated before its concrete implementation. Only in this case fruitful communication and dialogue between countries are possible. The paper points out that the very concept of "globalization" is often interpreted in completely different ways, there is no scientific approach to its measurement. The national idea, however, cannot rely on abstractions that cannot be realized with the benefit of society. The paper concludes that the clash of civilizations and ideological rapprochement are temporary phenomena and, although multidirectional, but also mutually conditioned. It is on this basis that intercultural communication between states and representatives of different civilizations should be built, even despite the differences in valuation approaches.

The question of project manager competencies and especially in social projects is a key issue for social organizations seeking to progress and achieve success. If the manager has an important role to play with regard to the social organization, he’s however dependent on his behavioral, professional and personal capacities. The purpose of this paper is to show, on the basis of a quantitative study carried out among 120 managers of social projects in cooperatives located in the city of Agadir (Morocco), that the success of projects is conditioned by the leadership skills. Consequently, factors related to behavioral skills such as Solidarity; Involvement; Patience; Creativity; Empathy; Motivation; Trust; Commitment; Self-esteem; Transparency; Self-control; Discipline and other factors related to professional characteristics and personal characteristics of project managers prove a positive and significant relationship with the criterion of success studied.

Autonomy is associated with intellectual self-preservation and self-determination. Shame, on the contrary, bears a loss of approval, self-esteem and control. Being afflicted with shame, we suffer from social dependencies that by no means have been freely chosen. Moreover, undergoing various experiences of shame, our power of reflection turns out to be severly limited owing to emotional embarrassment. In both ways, shame seems to be bound to heteronomy. This situation strongly calls for conceptual clarification. For this purpose, we introduce a threestage model of self-determination which comprises i) autonomy as capability of decision-making relating to given sets of choices, ii) self-commitment in terms of setting and harmonizing goals, and iii) self-realization in compliance with some range of persistently approved goals. Accordingly, the presuppositions and distinctive marks of shame-experiences are made explicit. Within this framework, we explore the intricate relation between autonomy and shame by focusing on two questions: on what conditions could conventional behavior be considered as self-determined? How should one characterize the varying roles of actors that are involved in typical cases of shame-experiences? In this connection, we advance the thesis that the social dynamics of shame turns into ambiguous positions relating to motivation, intentional content,and actors’ roles.

Chapter 12, “Commentary: Personalization,” discusses the process of personalization, based on the portraits presented in Chapters 8–11. Personalization is not just a matter of individual variation; it is a form of active engagement through which individuals endow imaginaries with personal meanings and refract the imaginary through their own experiences. The portraits illustrate how the social imaginary of childrearing and self-esteem entered into dialogue with the complex realities of people’s lives. Parents’ ability to implement their childrearing goals was constrained and enabled by their past experiences and by socioeconomic conditions. The individual children were developing different strategies of self-evaluation, different expectations about how affirming the world would be, and different self-defining interests, and their self-making varied, depending on the situation. Some children received diagnoses of low self-esteem as early as preschool.

Chapter 7, “Child-Affirming Artifacts,” uses ideas from Vygotskian theory to describe the child-affirming artifacts that populated children’s homes. Some artifacts were widely distributed consumer products. Children interacted with toys and electronic games that dispensed praise. Children’s books and TV shows, marketed as promoting children’s self-esteem, featured characters who were celebrated for their achievements, individuality, inherent worth, and potential. Several children loved Blue’s Clues, a show whose star constantly praised its characters and audience. These consumer products instantiated the same self-enhancing practices that parents believed fostered children’s self-esteem, thereby amplifying the social imaginary. This chapter also describes personalized, handmade artifacts designed by the families to celebrate their children. Photos of the children and artwork by children were on display in every household, and some adults created original homages to their children, which prompted commentary and stories that extolled the children’s achievements and reminded them how much they were loved and cherished.
