Stress resistance and coping behavior of university graduates as a factor in their employment

Актуальность статьи обусловлена тем, что выпускники вузов очень часто остаются не востребованными на рынке труда и профессионально дезадаптируются. В статье представлен анализ наиболее актуальных проблем формирования копинг стратегий поведения. Представлены результаты исследования стрессоустойчивости и копинг стратегий поведения безработных выпускников вуза и трудоустроившихся выпускников, согласно которым, выпускники ВУЗов, успешно устроившиеся на работу, наиболее часто используют относительно адаптивные когнитивные копинг стратегии поведения и адаптивные эмоциональные и поведенческие копинг стратегии поведения. Безработные выпускники ВУЗов часто используют неадаптивные варианты когнитивных копинг стратегий, относительно адаптивные варианты эмциональных копинг стратегий, а также адаптивные поведенческие копинг стратегии поведения. Полученные выводы указывают на то, что проблемные жизненные ситуации требуют активизации познавательных способностей человека и эмоциональной устойчивости. Устойчивые и неустойчивые к стрессу выпускники ведут себя в трудных ситуациях по-разному, используя различные по адаптивности копинг стратегии поведения. The relevance of the article is due to the fact that university graduates very often remain unclaimed in the labor market and professionally maladapted. The article presents an analysis of the most pressing problems of the formation of coping strategies of behavior. The paper presents the results of a study of stress resistance and coping behavior strategies of unemployed university graduates and graduates who successfully got a job in their specialty, according to which, university graduates who have successfully got a job most often use relatively adaptive cognitive coping strategies of behavior and adaptive emotional and behavioral coping strategies of behavior. Unemployed university graduates often use non-adaptive variants of cognitive coping strategies, relatively adaptive variants of emotional coping strategies, and adaptive behavioral coping strategies of behavior. The findings indicate that problematic life situations require the mobilization of a person's cognitive abilities and emotional stability. Resistant and unstable people behave in difficult situations in different ways, using coping strategies of different adaptability.

Theories of a Stress-Coping Behavior: Searching for Neurocognitive Mechanisms

The article proves that the main form of overcoming stress is coping behavior, which is understood as a purposeful social and neurophysiologically determined behavior that allows a person to cope with stress in ways that meet the characteristics of the individual and the situation. Coping behavior is considered a synonym for stress-coping behavior, which is expressed in the use of coping strategies by the individual. Personal characteristics and situational factors determine the choice of coping behavior strategies. The article aims to resolve the contradictions of multimodal approaches to the problem in question in the post-Soviet countries and group theories that include not only external social but also neurophysiological factors. The article shows that the choice of coping strategies mostly depends on personal and neurophysiological factors. These include neurophysiological reflexive or instinctive and higher ones: adequate self-concept, positive self-esteem, personality anxiety, cognitive style, and energy resources, which include endurance and temperament characteristics, intelligence, creativity, and locus of personality control. Overcoming a stressful situation is impossible without cognitive "processing," which becomes available through reflection. The influence of reflection on the choice of coping strategy of the individual is that reflective individuals choose more adaptive and effective strategies. The international relevance of the article lies in discovering neuroscientific aspects of the problem in question in the post-Soviet countries, which will allow these countries to contribute to the global scientific interdisciplinary discourse.

Reactive and Proactive Coping Behaviors in Russian First-Year Students: Diagnostics and Development Opportunities

The relevance of the study is determined by the role of the adaptation processes of first-year students to the university environment, which is the most important (preliminary) stage for: (a) their successful overcoming of various learning difficulties; (b) comfortable and constructive interaction with teachers and other students; and (c) search and application of adaptive behavior strategies due to new living conditions. The development of proactive coping is a key factor in the students efficient learning activity because it represents a platform for their personal growth. The aim of the study is to determine the possibilities of diagnostics and development of reactive and proactive coping behavior in first-year students. The study involved 272 first-year students at Pacific National University (including 136 students of an experimental group who sought help from the University Psychology Center in 2019 and 136 first-year volunteer students as a control group). The following methods were used for diagnostics: Proactive Coping Inventory (PCI) , adapted by E.P. Belinskaya et al., Ways of Coping Questionnaire by R. Lazarus, adapted by T.L. Kryukova et al., Hardiness Survey by Salvatore Maddi adapted by D.A. Leontyev and E.I. Rasskazova, Time Perspective Inventory (TPI) by Ph.Ge. Zimbardo, adapted by A. Syrtsova et al. and Reflexivity Diagnostics Method by A.V. Karpov. As a result, the first-year students showed low levels of developed reactive and proactive coping, high levels of social and emotional support as well as escape-avoidance, average levels of strategic planning and search for informational support, and a reduced level of reflective, predictive resource. It is shown that the search for social, emotional and informational support is the basis for constructing adaptive behavior strategies. It is confirmed that self-control and the category of the future are moderating for all types of proactive coping. The conducted cluster analysis made it possible to identify three profiles, which differ in the levels and content of reactive and proactive behavior (non-adaptive, reactive and active with a tendency to proactive). Repeated measurements show that individual and group forms of psychological intervention cause changes in the indicators of reactive-proactive coping behavior, which can be regarded as a positive dynamics in the development of behavior in students of the experimental group. Finally, a conclusion was formulated about the possibilities of using various forms of psychological support (individual counseling, trainings, and self-help groups) in optimizing the first-year students proactive coping behavior.

ANTICIPATORY COMPETENCE IN THE STRUCTURE OF COPING BEHAVIOR IN RESIDENT DOCTORS

The work is devoted to the study of the problem of anticipation as a psychological mechanism in the process of forming prognostic competence among resident doctors. Theoretical approaches and concepts to the problem of intuitive behavior – anticipation are considered in domestic and foreign psychology. The diversity of views on the study of the problem of anticipation and its multidimensional and multidimensional nature are substantiated; the structure of anticipation consistency among resident doctors is empirically studied; spatial, temporal and personal-situational components of the development of the ability to predict in resident doctors and coping behavior strategies are identified; the interrelationships between anticipation consistency and preferred coping strategies by resident doctors are established.

Knowledge Network Evolution of Smokers, Adaptive Behaviors and Enhancement of Knowledge Capability

Objectives: With the evolution of knowledge networks of smokers, we analyzed how adaptive behaviors affect the enhancement of the knowledge capability of their organization. Methods: Through the empirical analysis of 228 questionnaire data from smoker-dense zone, this paper conducts a regression analysis between the implementation of different behaviors and the capability improvement, in the context of knowledge flow evolution. Results: Conclusions show that different behavioral decisions of knowledge subjects have different influences on their knowledge capability, and the routine behaviors have a significant negative impact on their knowledge capability, while the imitative behavior and innovative behavior have a significant positive impact on the improvement of knowledge capability. These effects are also affected by the regulatory effects of the three stages of knowledge flow. Conclusion: In different stages of the functional evolution of the knowledge network of smokers, different behavioral decisions of knowledge subjects will promote or restrict their own knowledge capabilities. Based on the knowledge growth expectation, knowledge subjects can adopt different behavior strategies to achieve dynamic environment adaptation and gain competitive advantage.

RELATIONSHIP OF ACCEPTABILITY OF MISLEADING METHODS WITH PERSONAL FEATURES AND SOCIAL BEHAVIOR STRATEGIES

The article presents the results of an empirical study of personality traits, strategies of social behavior and the acceptability of information manipulation on a sample of youth, mainly female students (n=195). Based on the theory of communicative implicatures by P. Grice and the theory of information manipulation by S. McCornack, a case test with educational and interpersonal situations of communication was created, aimed at studying the choice of admissibility of information manipulation. Correlation analysis revealed that the acceptability of all four forms of information manipulation (lies, deception, inappropriateness, and obscurity) is most closely related to deficiencies in conscientiousness (lack of productivity, organization, and responsibility) and goodwill (lack of trust and empathy). We can observe the connections with individual personality aspects that are unique for different methods of information manipulation. In addition, information manipulation is associated with destructive social strategies of behavior, especially in the intersubjective sphere and in combination with a tendency to devalue the interlocutor.

The Applications and Complexity Analysis Based on Supply Chain Enterprises’ Green Behaviors under Evolutionary Game Framework

Green behaviors adopted by supply chain companies are conducive to resource conservation and environmental protection and enhancing their core competitive advantages. By constructing a game model of green behavior of supply chain companies, this research deeply analyzes the main influencing factors of green behaviors adopted by supply chain companies. It uses dynamic evolution game analysis and simulation experiment methods to explore the path evolution direction and dynamic convergence process of green behavior strategy choices of these companies, so as to provide reference value for green behavior decision-making of supply chain enterprises. The research results show that the probability of supply chain enterprises choosing green behavior strategies is related to factors such as enterprise green investment income and costs, co-benefits, spillover benefits, greenness and output of raw materials or products, government green subsidy coefficients, and fines. Supply chain enterprises should reduce the cost of green investment, maximize the profit of green investment, and increase the greenness of raw materials or products; the government should increase the coefficient of green subsidies and encourage supply chain enterprises to actively participate in the collaborative management of the green supply chain.
