ART THERAPY IN SEARCH FOR LIFE MEANINGS

An art therapy exercise program is posed in the article. The author has proven the effectiveness of the art therapy program for a person's search for life meanings. Study participants are 59 women aged 18 to 20 years (M=18,63; Std.=0,72), who noticed various manifestations of the state of meaning loss (apathy, emptiness, boredom, etc.). Standardized psychological diagnostic techniques were used in the research. The first psychological diagnostic technique was the test of life-meaning orientations by D. Crumbot and L. Makholik in adaptation of D.A. Leont’ev). This test allows to identify the life guidelines of a person. The second psychological diagnostic technique was the methodology "Scale of psychological well-being" by K. Riff in adaptation of L.V. Zhukovskaya, E.G. Troshikhina. This methodology was used to measure the level of psychological well-being, which was a subjective indicator of the effectiveness of the art therapy program. The empirical base of the study was made up of two groups of respondents. The first group was experimental (E-group, N=25; M=18,50; Std.=0,60), the second one was a control group (С-group, N=22; M=18,76; Std.=0,72). The author used descriptive statistics, difference reliability analysis method (Mann-Whitney U test, Wilcoxon test), correlation analysis by the r-Spearman method. The effectiveness of the developed art therapy program was confirmed for a person's search for life meanings by the results of an empirical research. The indicators of life-meaning orientations and psychological well-being increased, the strength and intensity between both indicators increased because of the strengthening of the creative activity of the person, which contributed to the deep awareness of the participants in the process of their life experience, significant connections with other people and the world in general, fixation on creative images and immersion in personal meanings that filled these creative images.

Students and education during the covid-19 pandemic: study and perspectives

The COVID-19 pandemic has grown a worldwide health concern and has imposed a significant impact on education. As a result, halfway through the second semester of 2019/2020, learning methods were delivered through distance learning (DL). The purpose of the paper is to study the specifics of online education during the Covid-19 pandemic.

FACTOR STRUCTURE OF THE LIFE-MEANING ORIENTATIONS TEST IN THE STUDENTS SAMPLE

The internal consistency and structure of questions of the life-meaning orientations test - the most popular tool for measuring the consciousness of life and the existential orientation of a person - have been studied. Its diagnostic value is undeniable, but the procedure for distributing assessments by subscales raises a number of questions: some items are included in two or three scales at once, and the content of individual items does not correspond to the characteristics of the subscale in which they are included. The vagueness of the factorial structure is explained by the fact that the methodology is based on a one-dimensional approach, which initially did not imply the differentiation of individual components. A survey of 93 students aged 17-24 was carried out, while two versions of the keys to the method, published in 2000 and 2020, were used in parallel. The general indicator of students' life awareness has an average interval of 103.16 ± 18.73, is characterized by a normal distribution and high internal consistency. The factorial structure of variables is not similar to any of the models previously described in methodological sources. The measurement of the meaningfulness of life in the student sample is influenced by five factors that together determine 62.7% of the empirical distribution: 1) the existential fullness of the personality's existence; 2) a sense of controllability and orderliness of life; 3) the success of self-identification (awareness of oneself, one's goals and life purpose); 4) a positive and open perception of one's own life; 5) joyful expectations from the future. The obtained factors only partially reflect the structure of LSS as a mental education of a higher order. First of all, they reveal the peculiarities of understanding their own life in the student population. The study asks the question of the psychological factors that determine the existential characteristics of a person at different stages of life.

FEATURES OF THE SEMANTIC SPHERE OF PERSONALITY AND DAILY STRUCTURING OF EMPLOYMENT OF STUDENTS WHO HAVE HAD COVID-2019

Background. The COVID-19 pandemic and the mass self-isolation associated with it had a significant impact on the features of the semantic sphere of personality formed by students at its beginning. And the more the changed living conditions affected the life and health of the students themselves, the more likely their life-meaning orientations, basic beliefs, as well as the practice of filling the time of their own life have changed. It is important to determine what differences in these parameters are observed in those students who have had this viral infection, when compared with those students who have not had it.
 The purpose of the study was to identify the features of the meaning-of-life orientations of the individual, basic beliefs and the daily structuring of life time during the period of self-isolation of students who were ill with the COVID-2019 viral infection.
 Materials and methods. The sample consisted of 180 students who studied at the 4th year of several Moscow universities (MSPPU, RSSU, MSOU, etc.) at the faculties of social and humanitarian orientation. A group of students who had been ill with COVID-19 was selected from this randomly compiled student sample. Two student groups were compared: 1) students who have had COVID-19; 2) students who have not had it. Empirical data are collected on the basis of the test “Life orientations” by D.A. Leontiev, the scale of basic beliefs (WAS) by R. Yanov-Bulman in the adaptation of M.A. Padun and A.V. Kotelnikova and a specially developed methodology for students ‘ self-assessment of the structure and volume of daily employment during the period of restrictive measures related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The list of types of daily employment was developed by students of the 4th year of the Faculty of Extreme Psychology of the Moscow State Psychological and Pedagogical University during training sessions in an online format. It included the following types of daily employment: sleep, educational activities, housework, time at the computer for non-educational purposes, lying in a horizontal position, maintaining physical fitness, watching TV, other employment-its own version, which could include work, volunteer activities, etc. The students participating in the study were given instructions as subjects: “Please remember what exactly you were usually busy with during the day during the period of self-isolation and express it in % ratio, based on the total amount of 100%. In the line: “Other employment” – list what exactly you were doing.”
 Mathematical and statistical data processing is carried out on the basis of the MS package Office Excel, IBM SPSS Statistics 23. The reliability of the differences in the indicators of the two student groups was determined by the Mann-Whitney U-criterion.
 Results. It is established that ill virus COVID-19 students differ from students without a history of them, the higher the overall level of meaningfulness of life; although the structure of the General level of meaningfulness of life in them is the same (in first place is the goal of life, followed by: locus of control life, the process of life, the result of life; this completes the hierarchy of locus of control, “I”), but the students had been ill with the virus COVID-19, live with a more pronounced sense of the efficiency of life and are more motivated people; they also have a relatively higher indicators of locus of control life, the process of life, locus of control “I”; ill with the virus COVID-19 students have similar levels of belief in the benevolence of the world and control the events in their life events without a history of them students. At the same time in their cognitive models of the world was formed more than a high, but not beyond the normative values, the level of basic beliefs – in their own luck and luck, the value and significance of their own “I”, there is justice; students who recover from the virus COVID-19, more varied structure of his employment during the day, compared to without a history of them students.
 Conclusion. The data obtained empirically confirm the presence of differences between the student samples: students who have had the COVID-19 virus infection differ from their peers who have not had it, both by the peculiarities of the semantic sphere of the individual and by the peculiarities of structuring the time of their own life. In order to scientifically explain these identified differences, additional research is required with a large coverage of students.

In this connection, the purpose of the research presented in the paper is to study the differences in the connections between the indicators of personal projects and the life-meaning orientations of the individual at the stages of adolescence and youth. The sample consisted of 148 people (64 boys and 84 girls aged 16 to 30). In use were used: the methodology Analysis of personal projects (B.R. Little in the adaptation of E.Yu. Ryazantseva), as well as the test of life-meaning orientations. Statistical analysis was performed in SPSS (version 22) using the Mann Whitney U test (for metric variables). The identification of links between metric indicators was carried out using correlation analysis (Spearmans coefficient). It was shown that a relationship was found between the indicators of personal projects (difficulty, visibility, control, responsibility, values, time adequacy, autonomy) and life-meaning orientations. At the age of 1617, young people are oriented towards outside support. For young people aged 18-25, the search for their identity becomes significant, where both the support of relatives and friends and their inner resources are important. At an older age (2630 years), the degree of individual independence in the implementation of their projects increases, the dependence on socio-cultural resources decreases, the number of connections between personal projects and indicators increases: goals in life, locus of control life.

Dynamics of quality of life main parameters in patients with spine tumors underwent surgical treatment

Особенности профессиональной направленности студентов вузов в эпоху цифровизации

In the digital era, the success of the professional development of future specialists in the process of obtaining higher education largely depends on their professional orientation (PN). Despite the significant interest in the subject of the study, the problem of identifying the factors that affect PN remains poorly understood.
 The purpose of the study is to determine the factors of the formation of PN of students enrolled in training and retraining programs, and the features of PN in the digital era.
 The article reveals the content and structure of the PN of future specialists in the era of digitalization. According to the results of the empirical research, the relationship of students' PN with indicators of life-meaning orientations, motives for choosing a profession and training was revealed; the relationship between students' life-meaning orientations and indicators of motives for choosing a profession and training at the stage of digitalization of education. The factors influencing the personal condition, and the factors of the formation of the personal condition of students, who are trained according to the programs of training and retraining of specialists, have been determined.
 As a result of an empirical study, it was concluded that a negative impact on the formation of PN is created by factors caused by various life circumstances, lack of independence of decisions in choosing a profession, low reflection of life goals, prospects for the future, rigidity of volitional and personal qualities, internal conflict in the structure of personality relationships, low pleasure training and the like. At the same time, the level of PN is significantly higher among students who receive a second higher education and who understand its importance at the stage of digitalization of education.

Рефлексия смыслов и особенности субъектности сотрудников органов внутренних дел в среде непрерывного образования

Abstract. The research problem lies in the need to study the contradiction between the high values of life-meaning orientations and the reflexivity of employees of the internal affairs bodies. Purpose of the article: to investigate the indicated contradiction and reveal the peculiarities of the subjectivity of the personality of employees. The analysis and interpretation of the characteristics of the personal development of employees in lifelong education was carried out by the method of clustering the sample using the values of the tests "Life-meaning orientations" D. Krambo, L. Makholik, adaptation - D.А. Leontiev, reflexivity (A.V. Karpov), as well as the subjectivity of a professional's personality and focus on the personal development of an employee, including in lifelong education based on the author's methodology. The work used the correlation analysis of the studied features by means of nonparametric statistical criteria (Spearman's rank correlation coefficient), cluster analysis. As a result of the study, it was revealed that reflexivity, orientation towards development in professional activity and focus on continuing education in clusters are expressed unevenly. The hypothesis of a strict inverse relationship between manifestations of reflexivity and life-meaning orientations was not confirmed. At the same time, a feature of the subject-personal orientation of employees is an insufficient connection between reflexivity and high values of meaningful orientations, subordination of the personal principle to the "professional role and position" (according to the terms of V.A. Lefebvre) due to the subordination and discipline in the profession, as well as the substitution of the moral imperative with legal norms. Strategies with extremely high values of life-meaning orientations of adult employees of internal affairs bodies, which have a negative correlation with reflexivity, regardless of subjectivity or the severity of orientation towards development in the profession, are assessed by us as unfavorable for personal development.

Worldview through the Prism of Personal Life-Meaning Orientations

The article provides an insight into the interrelation between the worldview and personal meaningful orientations in the context of the modern digital era. The purpose of the article is to investigate the process of generating personal ontology with due regard to personal meaning-making, which involves considering three groups of issues. Firstly, attention is focused on understanding the complexity of the modern epoch against the background of the technological revolution and the effects of virtual imitation of reality, which may determine the worldview. Secondly, an effective insight into life-meaning orientations involves reviewing methodological approaches. Thirdly, the article considers the basic paradigms of life choices including the pragmatic option for self-determination, retrospective reflection based on historical-philosophical inquiry, the paradigm of genetic determination of human behavior and decision-making, and an opposing existential paradigm, which identifies proper life orientations. The study refers to enactivism as a methodological tool, according to which, changes in external circumstances generated by the subject may effect the structure of semantic regulations. The authors come up with an innovative approach to investigating the ways in which the meanings of personal ontology are shaped in the context of complexity and virtualization of the modern world. The idea of the ambivalence of life-purpose relfection is justified. The authors come to a conclusion that structuring personal ontology depends on processing the main tendencies of the epoch in the domain of personal reflection, which is based on one’s inner world and connected with goal-setting and shaping one’s life-project.
