The Positioning Different Types of Personality Resourcefulness in the Coordinates of "against-and-owing to"

Abstract

The aim of the article was to establish the nature of the relationship between the types of resourcefulness of a personality based on empirical data. Methods. In the empirical study, the psychological survey methods were used, as well as mathematical and statistical methods of correlation, classification, discriminant, multifactorial, significative, comparative analysis. The empirical study is implemented in the Nelson’s model, which makes it possible to describe the phenomenon under study under given conditions. Research results. The indicators of comparability based on the results of the multivariate test of signification and comparative analysis using the Scheffe’s test justified are: value of oneself, freedom, responsibility. It should be noted that the empirical argumentation of hardiness as an indicator of comparability and a vector for positioning resource types is weak. Personality resourcefulness is different from other types resourcefulness in terms of the smallest share of representation in the volume of generalized resourcefulness and in the secondary importance of semantic significance. Resource richness is the least, and psychological resource is the most operationalized of the type from resourcefulness. Psychological capital is the most clearly expressed type of resourcefulness. Conclusions. In the manifestation of the types of resourcefulness of the personality, the experience of overcoming difficult life situations is revealed, at the same time, the main thing is the experience of independent choice according to conscience, the freedom to take advantage of the opportunity to choose and responsibility for its consequences. Therefore, we conclude that the positioning of the types of psychological resourcefulness in the coordinates of “against-andowing to” is carried out, to a large extent, owing to the individual’s reliance on the ethical choice. Empirical comparison of types of resourcefulness according to reasonable indicators allows us to determine the nature of their relationship as a constellation – an ordered matrix of interrelated valuable issues. The applied significance of the positioning of types of resourcefulness lies in the opening possibility of predicting a change in the type of resourcefulness of a personality when choosing freedom and responsibility, as well as maintaining of him internal dialogue with conscience.
