Abstract

The aim of the research: elucidation of autonomic dynamics (according to the electrical resistance of the skin) during functional load, taking into account the individual-typological properties of the nervous system and psychological qualities of the individual.
 Materials and methods. Determined the functional mobility of nervous processes (FMNP, the method of M. V. Makarenko), electrical resistance of the skin (polygraph study), psychological personality traits (16-factor personality questionnaire by Cattell).
 Results. The relationship between FMNP, individual parameters of skin galvanic response and some personality traits has been identified. The questions concerning the role of individual-typological properties of the nervous system in the development of autonomic reactivity, their connection with psychological personality traits, prediction of possible behavioural reactions and states are considered.
 Conclusions. It was found that individuals with high FMNP in terms of sensorimotor response, more likely to have a variant of behavioral response, which is characterized by maximum speed and accuracy of the task, low anxiety. However, there is a risk of overstrain of the autonomic nervous system (according to the indicators of the phase electrical resistance of the skin (ERS)). In the case of low levels of FMNP, a variant of behavioural response with relatively low task efficiency, slow autonomic regulatory processes and a tendency to experience is more common. We claim that FMNP is involved in creating a neurodynamic, autonomic and psychological basis for individual behaviour during sensorimotor response in emotionally stressful conditions. The identified differences can be useful for determining the optimal area of ​​professional activity, settling interpersonal relationships in the team, predicting the limits of acceptable actions and human actions, assessing the likelihood of risks of personal responsibility, the degree of stress, and so on

Highlights

  • The lifestyle of a person, his social behaviour, spiritual positioning are constantly manifested in numerous combinations of psychophysiological characteristics that form the basis of personality

  • Discussion of the research results studies indicate that there is a link between individual typological properties of higher nervous activity (HNA), autonomic reactivity and psychological personality traits, which indicates the involvement of the studied psychophysiological characteristics in the development of individual style of human behaviour

  • We emphasize that the results obtained by us in the imaging study can not claim to solve all aspects of the problem of psychophysiological basis of individual behavioural responses, to some extent complement the information about the mechanisms of development of skin galvanic response in individuals with different FMNP and features of stable psychological personality traits

Summary

Introduction

The lifestyle of a person, his social behaviour, spiritual positioning are constantly manifested in numerous combinations of psychophysiological characteristics that form the basis of personality. Significant interest in the disclosure of the biological basis of human behavioural responses is constantly supported by a fairly large practical demand from medicine, physiology, psychology, law, pedagogy, sports [3,4,5]. One of the main genetically determined properties of nervous processes is their functional mobility (Holzinger's coefficient varies between 0.61–0.86) [7]. Such circumstances necessitate the elucidation of psychophysiological components of human behaviour depending on the individual properties of HNA, the peculiarities of the systems of regulation of physiological functions, their autonomic manifestations and the psychological structure of personality
