STUDY OF EMOTIONAL STATE AND MEANING SPHERE IN WOMEN WHO CONSCIOUSLY REFUSED MEDICAL SUPPORT DURING PREGNANCY

The article deals with the relevance of studying the phenomenon of motherhood in modern society in various aspects. It is assumed that the features of the level of psycho-emotional tension can be considered as an indicator of the actual functional state in women during pregnancy. The presence of two competing dominant foci in the perinatal period, represented as: motherhood and career, motherhood and independence, motherhood and life support of the family, motherhood and selfdevelopment, lead to the development of intrapersonal conflict. Resolution of intrapersonal conflict leads to an increase in psycho-emotional tension. Quantitative determination of the vegetative coefficient and the total deviation from the autogenic norm allows you to identify the level of psycho-emotional tension. Significant differences in the severity of the vegetative coefficient and the total deviation from the autogenic norm in women who consciously refused medical support during the period of pregnancy are described.

Structure of Protective and Coping Response in Police Officers Suffering from Somatoform Vegetative Dysfunction of Gastrointestinal Tract in Relation to Psychohygiene Tasks

The aim of the study was to identify differences of protective and coping behavior and its dynamics in conditions of asthenization and anxiety-depressive response in employees of internal affairs bodies, suffering from somatoform vegetative dysfunction of the gastrointestinal tract. Materials and methods of research. To reveal structural and dynamic characteristics of the protective response and character of the asthenization depression and anxiety influence on the internal affairs employees, 64 police officers with somatoform vegetative dysfunction of the gastrointestinal tract (F. 45.3) according to criteria of ICD-10 were investigated. Results of the study and their analysis. The study revealed that the differences were both purely individual and cross-cutting, reflecting a pronounced intrapersonal conflict. This indicates the weakness of the defense system in police employees suffering from somatoform vegetative dysfunction of the gastrointestinal tract, regardless of gender identity, emphasizing their low adaptive capacity, making it difficult to recognize the problems. The basic socio-professional characteristics of police officers are reflected and their role in protective and coping response is shown. The results of the study are offered to use in psychohygienic work with employees, prone to somatoform reactions.

The Manifestation of Aggressiveness in Students of Technical University

This article examines the current student problem of our time – ways to implement intrapersonal conflict in aggressive forms of behavior, mechanisms of manifestation, gender characteristics of aggressiveness in the student environment. The theoretical part of the research defines the main concepts and modern concepts that the authors adhere to. Practical research is based on the identification and study of groups in the University student environment that are most prone to aggression; on the selection in groups of students who are prone to various types of aggression in the form of deviant behavior. The main tools of the research were methods and techniques: the Express survey developed by the authors; the A. bass-A. darky aggression questionnaire (BD); methods for diagnosing the tendency to deviate behavior (SOP); observation; Spearman's rank correlation coefficient method. In the course of the study, the following reliable conclusions were obtained. The girls were found to have weak volitional control of the emotional sphere in the manifestation of verbal, physical, indirect aggression, as well as irritability and suspicion. In young men, weakness of volitional control is correlated with irritability, indirect aggression, negativism, and resentment. Delinquent behavior is typical only for young men. Propensity to aggression and violence in the female sample of the risk group is associated with verbal, physical and indirect aggression as a way of detente. Female aggressiveness can manifest itself in a willingness to display negative reactions and an oppositional manner in behavior. In the male sample of the "risk" group, the propensity to aggression and violence have less pronounced correlations with negativism, and the most specific way to solve the situation is physical aggression. The authors suggest ways to conduct psychological and pedagogical work in higher education with students who have various forms of aggression.

Life dissatisfaction among students: exploring the role of intrapersonal conflict, insufficient efforts and academic stress

Purpose The study focuses on academic stress among the students due to insufficient efforts and intrapersonal conflicts amid the COVID-19 situation. The purpose of this study is to measure the mediating role of academic stress between life dissatisfaction and adequate steps and intrapersonal conflicts. Design/methodology/approach The researcher had surveyed 729 students from the two states, including Haryana and Punjab and 716 responses were used for analysis. These respondents were approached in April–May 2020 to explore the impact of COVID-19. The questionnaire was prepared with the help of Google form, including 29 questions. Confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling (SEM) were used to validate the research model and for testing the hypothesis. Findings The findings indicate that intra-personal conflict and insufficient efforts have a significant positive relation with academic stress. Also, intrapersonal conflict and insufficient efforts have a significant positive relation with life dissatisfaction. It has been reported that academic stress mediates the relationship between life dissatisfaction and intra-personal conflict. The results also reveal that academic stress is positively and significantly associated with life dissatisfaction. Originality/value This is one of the few studies that explored the mediating role of academic stress between life dissatisfaction and insufficient efforts and intrapersonal conflicts.

ПЕРФЕКЦИОНИЗМ КАК ФАКТОР КОНФЛИКТОВ

The article is devoted to the study of different types of perfectionism influence on occurrence of interpersonal conflict and its connection with impersonal conflict. Perfectionism is defined as regular pursuit of unattainable perfection focused on excessive standards. The article shows the multidimensionality of this phenomenon reflecting first of all spreading perfectionist's intention to achieve perfection either to himself or to others, or globally. The emphasis on the idea that perfectionism can have either neurotic or healthy nature on which its conflictogenity is dependent is made in the article. To overcome the ambiguity of this phenomenon understanding it’s proposed to use the term “pseudo-perfectionism” to name a “healthy” form of perfectionism. The distinct origins of perfectionism formation — under parental pressure in childhood or during adulthood under economic conditions pressure, especially profound in the modern world are revealed in the article. The certain form of perfectionism emergence is provoked by these affections depending on a number of conditions. The forms of perfectionism differ by their conflict potential degree and ability of their carriers to adapt to society. It’s accentuated in the article that personal neurotic perfectionism formed under unfavorable conditions provokes fear of failure, inadequate responsibility for the activity results, thinking in “all or nothing” format and self-esteem rigid dependence on an achievement level is emphasized in the article. Pseudo-perfectionism increases activities’ essence significance, promotes adequate results’ assessment standards establishment and is reflected in individual’s realistic requirements to his performance level. The conflict potential of different forms of perfectionism is investigated. Directed at the individual himself it’s distorting his basic needs and causing intrapersonal conflict which in turn creates the ground for interpersonal collisions. When directed towards others perfectionism provokes interpersonal conflicts directly. The idea that both neurotic and pseudo-perfectionism have a conflict potential, but the nature and prospects of conflicts caused by these forms differ significantly is carried out.

“A Foreign City”: Dr. František Langer and the battles for Kazan in August – September 1918

  The object of this research is the participation of the soldiers and officers of Czechoslovak Corps on the Volga front of the Russian Civil War reflected in the documentary novel by F. Langer. The goal of this work consists in the analysis of evolution of the relations of Czechoslovak legionnaires on the Russian events in the context of the large-scale socioeconomic crisis. The research is based on the novel by F. Langer, which was written in 1920 but became available for scholarly reflection almost a century later. This novel introduces new records on the events of 1918 in Kazan, which became a turning point in the battle for the Volga Region, and allows revising the chronology of protest moods within the Czechoslovak Corps. The most well-known manifestation of the refusal from participation in combat operations is the actions of the personnel of the 1st regiment of the corps under the command of the Colonel Y. Shvets, who committed suicide in the late autumn of 1918. This fact is regarded as most striking manifestation of demoralization of the military personnel; however, these symptoms could be traced in September if referred to the text of F. Langer’s chronicles, which has not previously become the subject of scientific analysis. The documentary novel expand the boundaries of protest moods in the soldier environment; it forms a solid representation on the intrapersonal conflict among the participants of the events back in the early September of 1918, which adds more details on the motivation of the participants of combat operations. The conclusion is made that the Czechoslovak Corps, solving virtually pointless battlefield tasks, not only suffered heavy losses, but also lost the meaning of its actions in general. The work of F. Langer indicates the first protest moods among the soldiers in the early autumn of 1918.  

On the relationship of intrapersonal conflict with models of achieving success and career type

This article reveals the relevance of the study of intrapersonal constructive conflicts, as well as examines the essence of the socio-psychological approach to understanding this type of conflict. This type of conflict is associated with a positive model for achieving success, career growth and personal development. The article also reveals the significance of the study of intrapersonal destructive conflicts. This type of conflict is associated with an immoral and criminal model of achieving success, career growth and personality deformation. The theory of intrapersonal constructive and destructive conflicts is an integral part of social conflictology. There is still a lot to do both in theoretical and applied terms for its complete formation. Currently, there is an urgent need for the development of conflictological competence not only among professionals, but also among various groups of the population.

Intrapersonal conflicts as the basis for the professional development of university students (by the example of a non-state university)

The purpose of writing this work is to cross-light the issue of predetermining the professional development of students, their self-determination by intrapersonal conflicts and crises. The paper presents a theoretical justification for intrapersonal conflicts through underlying contradictions. A conflict is presented as a dual phenomenon in the writings of the sociological school of conflictology. The contradictions and conditions that give rise to intrapersonal conflict in the process of professional self-determination are described. The paper presents the results of an empirical study conducted at a private university in the city of Kazan. Its results made it possible to confirm the key point that intrapersonal conflicts not only accompany professional self-determination and the formation of students, but also lead to the harmonization of the students’ personalities as professionals and allow them to realize the importance and necessity of training.

The experience of using psychosemantic technique “color-associative experiment” in psychological counseling of students

This article presents a qualitative and quantitative study of personality based on psychosemantic technique “color-associative experiment”. The subject of this research is the theoretical framework, procedure for psychosemantic technique “color-associative experiment”, and the possibilities of its application in psychological counseling of students. For quality data processing and interpretation, the author employs the techniques of free and axial coding (the categories correspond to the axes: conditions, phenomenon, its characteristics, strategy of interaction with the phenomenon, and outcome), which allow the psychologist to acquire a holistic representation on the current state of the respondent. The article provides the materials of empirical study, which involved 15 people; describes the results diagnostics of the bachelor's degree students conducted in terms of distance learning at the Academy for the Humanities and Pedagogy  (branch) of the Crimean Federal University in Yalta (April 2020). The obtained results indicate that the verbal space and perceptive-semantic space are not identical, but mutually complementary, forming a holistic picture of the individual semantic space of personality. On the example of implementation of “color-associative experiment” technique, the respondent (bachelor's degree graduate) is characterized by a neurotic structure of personality. The intrapersonal conflict and resulting emotional tension are accompanied by the pursuit of orderliness and freedom (the verbal component of semantic space), but also indicate the prevalence of variability and lack of constancy in the perceptive semantic space of personality. For comparing the results of perceptive and verbal semantic space, the author offers the schematic image of the coordinate system formed by these two axes and saturated with individual meanings of the respondent. Thus, in the dialogue with the respondent, the psychologist forms a map of the individual semantic space of the latter. The application of the method of “color-associative experiment” indicated the instance of the development of reflection among students.
