Abstract

The relevance of the research is that in general psychology the class of positive mental states hasn't been studied properly. The goal is to identify frequently experienced positive mental states in everyday and stressful situations of educational and professional training of students, their relationship and structural and functional organization. 114 students participated in the research, aged 18 to 25 years (85 % women, Me=21; 15 % men, Me=22.5). Hypothesis - typical positive mental states of students, actualized in the educational and professional training at the university, have a complex structural and functional organization in connection with the educational situation. Methods: the author's questionnaire "Assessment of positive mental states" (A.O. Prokhorov, A.V. Klimanova), and methods of mathematical statistics: Pearson's correlation coefficient, L.K. Vyhandu's maximum correlation path method. We found that frequently experienced positive mental states correlate with the classes of states: emotional, cognitive, psychophysiological, volitional states, states of consciousness and communication (at p ≤ 0.01). Key blocks in the structural and functional organization of positive mental states were identified: during a lecture - an emotional block and a block that includes states of consciousness. During a seminar - a psycho-physiological, emotional block and a block that includes the state of communication. During an exam - psycho-physiological and emotional-volitional blocks.
