Personal Maturity Research Articles

ON THE STRUCTURE OF PERSONAL MATURITY OF UNIVERSITY STUDENTS

The article sets out a problem aimed at determining the structure of personal maturity in the period of early adulthood. The theoretical study revealed a lack of unanimity in terms of interpreting and conceptualizing the concept of personal maturity and defining its structural and content elements. The empirical study involved humanitarian students from the first to the third courses (females (103) and males (22) aged 17-20 years). As a result of the exploratory factor analysis procedures, an integrative variable of personal maturity has been calculated which is considered as a set of cognitive (self-understanding, positive thinking), emotional (self-sympathy) and behavioral characteristics (autonomy, sociability). The personality of a mature subject in the period of early adulthood can be described as distinguished by an optimistic view of the world and a deep understanding of his or her identity combined with positive emotions and self-attitude and the ability to maintain personal boundaries even creating close relationships with others. The considered algorithm for calculating the integral variable can be applied in studies aimed at studying latent psychological phenomena.

Second, the people of Sirau Village who do marriages with different organizations have an awareness that marriage is a nature (fitrah) for humans and can bring good (Id). In the midst of this awareness, they are then faced with organizational differences that can potentially lead to household harmony (Ego). However, the couple's ego is also influenced by several factors such as sublimation or shifting the gaze to something acceptable, for example, good looks—both husband and wife; reaction of formation or opposing attitudes experienced by fantasy until such as optimism for personal maturity so that potential conflicts based on organizational differences can be minimized. Negotiations that occur at the ego level in the next phase are then realized by getting married (Superego). Third, figures from each Islamic organization (Ormas) in Sirau Village have different views regarding marriages of different organizations. Based on Sigmund Freud's psychoanalytic theory, it can be seen that the NU personality structure Ego or Das Ich tends to reject based on facts on the ground who are unable to foster household harmony, while the Muhammadiyah character Ego or Das Es personality tends to accept it.</span></p>

Miłość – świadectwo osobowej dojrzałości. Perspektywa filozoficzno-pedagogiczna

Love: An Indicator of Personal Maturity. A Philosophical and Pedagogical Perspective The article is a philosophical analysis of the problem of love from the perspective of human maturity. It aims to recall the philosophical theses (including those by Aristotle, Pieper, Plato, and Wojtyla) that are pedagogically oriented. The article consists of six parts, arranged in six questions, which allow us to define love as a pedagogically desirable attitude. The ontic factors of love are primarily considered, but so too is the contemporary cultural situation that constitutes a context of human relationships. The determinants of this context are individualism, consumerism, metaphysical indifference, and more recently also pandemic-induced isolationism. In Part 1, love is defined as the „being together” of people governed by a personalistic norm. In Part 2, the emphasis is on its corporeal-sensual-spiritual complexity and, in particular, on the aptitude of the will and the intellect. Part 3 considers the principle of love: love is governed by an affirmation, not of a personal feature (or set of features), but of the person’s existence as a person. In Part 4, love is analyzed in terms of its inherent aspect of giving: giving to someone and being given to. Attention is drawn to the need to combine both attitudes in mature love. Part 5 is about friendship, the most perfect form of love. It is noted that although it binds a small group of people (it is exclusive), it also has a socially-oriented vector. Part 6 is devoted to the issue of the deficit of love (indifference, hatred) and its sources in the decline of existential thinking among contemporary people.

Research methods are questioning, a multidimensional analysis of data (factorial and cluster analysis).Results. Two groups of factors of good breeding are revealed. The first characterizes processes of spiritual and psychological new formations of the youthful period – patriotism, humanity and a level of claims. The second one – processes of new formations of the previous teenage period – ecological interests, internal culture and social tolerance. Considering main factors of good breeding, the authors identified 11 typical variations of personal development. These features allowed us to develop the scope of educational actions according to a social and psychological portrait of each group.Discussion and conclusions. The practical importance of the results of the research is finding and description of a certain set of typical variations of a social and psychological portrait of the first-year students through factors of progress and regress of good breeding. It is shown that students with high rates of good breeding have valuable relations, which are integrated into factors of patriotism and humanity, what characterizes the formation of a complete and mature personality.

Effect of explicit and implicit components of psychologists’ mental experience on their parental competence

The purpose of this research was to determine the effect of various components of psychologists’ mental experience (ME) on their parental competence (PC) when dealing with children of primary school age. We have distinguished three factors – professional attitude, professional competence and professional learning, dividing each into a number of components relating to explicit and implicit experience. For instance, explicit representation of professional attitude in terms of communication with children is a psychologist’s self-assessment scale, and implicit representation is a degree of openness of cognitive position as willingness to solve problems. Explicit representation of psychologist’s professional competence is his/her work experience in his/her major (school psychologist), and implicit representation is reflexivity of cognitive style built by competent professionals. Professional learning for psychologists takes two forms: explicit learning, which is a conscious acquisition of knowledge and skills through trainings and seminars, and implicit learning, which is undirected, for example, through research and writing articles. It has turned out that explicit and implicit components of mental experience have a different effect on such parameters of psychologists’ parental competence as feedback efficiency, level of feedback detail and predictability of feedback usefulness. In other words, we have established that professional mental experience of psychologists may shape up their parental competence, making it both high and low. It is important to know that implicit (and often unconscious) components of mental experience have as much effect as its explicit components. We believe that study of implicit components of professional learning may contribute to improvement of psychologists’ professional training and development of a professional’s mature personality.

The Role of Reflexivity in the Development of Personality in the Elderly

This study is devoted to clarifying the relationship between types of reflection and the status of ego-identity, corresponding to dynamic changes in ego in normative crises of late age. Understanding the specifics of reflexivity will clarify the strategies of individual and group psychological support for older people. Successful aging depends on the awareness and acceptance of the challenges of age development. The identity achievement status as a result of the regulatory crisis is an indicator of the maturity of the individual at this age stage and indicates the ego-integration of the individual. The reflection parameters are compared in groups of respondents with different identity statuses. Identity statuses characterize a certain phase of a normative crisis as a transition from one stage to the next. A discriminant analysis of the main indicators of personality maturity and different types of reflection was carried out. The indicator of deadlock reflection is most characteristic of older people with a foreclosure identity. The reflection indicator of future activities is most pronounced among respondents characterized by a moratorium of identity and among respondents with a foreclosure status of identity. These statuses correspond to the first phase of the crisis and the critical phase, respectively. The indicators of general reflexive activity, retrospective reflection, reflection of current activity, perspective reflection, auto-reflection, deadlock reflection statistically reliably distinguish groups of respondents with a moratorium of identity and respondents with achieved status of identity. Reflective activity is most characteristic of respondents with a moratorium on identity, which indicates the presence of an acute phase of the crisis.

INFANTILISM DEVELOPMENT PROBLEMS AND RESPONSIBILITY FORMATION IN MODERN ADOLESCENTS AND YOUNG PEOPLE

Responsibility is one of the main characteristics of a mature person. In the 21st century, in the era of increasing infantilism, one of the important areas in modern psychology and pedagogy is the problem of responsibility formation and development in adolescents and young people. There are various hypotheses about the emergence of infantile and irresponsible behavior and their manifestations in childhood and adulthood. The strength of society is the strength of the individuals who make it up, so in modern science it is important to identify the causes of social infantilism and introduce technologies for its prevention and correction. Based on the theoretical analysis, the paper examines the dominant symptoms of the infantilism development (irresponsibility, mental discomfort, loneliness, sexual behavior violation, narcissism and gender chauvinism) and their manifestations in different age periods. The forms of irresponsibility in adolescents and the causes of their occurrence in different age periods are presented in detail. According to the author, the main reasons for infantilism development in adolescent and youth environment are: 1) the lack of collective education and the low influence of teachers, psychologists and educational environment in general on the individual’s development; 2) a pronounced style of pedagogy of freedom, provoking selfishness development; 3) delegation of responsibility for education exclusively to the family in the absence of psychological and pedagogical support for family relations; 4) deformation of the family relations model against the background of falling birth rates, shifting gender roles and family values. For the prevention and correction of infantilism among adolescents and young people, specialists in the sphere of modern education need to conduct systematic diagnostic work with the family and pay close attention to the introduction of practical technologies for the prevention of irresponsible behavior among younger schoolchildren and adolescents. In addition, it is necessary to introduce psychological and pedagogical education of the younger generation on the issues of individual self-development, self-education and self-realization.

Development, Validation, and Internal Consistency of the Positive Psychology-Based Acceptance of Illness Scale (PAIS): A Culturally-Appropriate Japanese Measure

Acceptance of illness has been shown to improve the well-being of individuals suffering from chronic illnesses. We developed a new acceptance of illness scale, “Positive Psychology-Based Acceptance of Illness Scale: PAIS,” for HTLV-1 associated myelopathy (HAM) patients, one of the intractable neurological diseases with a chronic course. The validity and internal consistency of this PAIS were examined in 260 HAM patients in Japan. Exploratory factor analysis extracted four factors with 21 items: “Loving myself as I am”; “Experiencing the grace of illness”; “Feeling a loving connection with others”; and “Developing as a mature person”. Cronbach’s α was .83 to .88, except for Factor 4 which was slightly low at 0.64, and internal consistency was confirmed. A significant correlation was found between the PAIS and the index of convergent validity. The study’s findings are an important step toward a more comprehensive concept of acceptance of illness.

In particular, professional self-actualization is defined as a complex multilevel phenomenon, a process of directed activity aimed at progress in one's own professional development, which is conditioned by the disclosure of one's own professional potential. Three approaches to the study of self-actualization in the professional sphere are highlighted: subject-activity, where professional activity is the main basis for self-actualization of the individual, due to difficulties and internal contradictions; personal development, where professional self-actualization leads to profound internal changes and forms and professional maturity; acmeological, in which professional self-actualization is the achievement of the highest level of professionalism, professional and personal maturity ("acme").

The intra-personal conflict between learning motivations and professional motivation is determined. A number of features of professional self-actualization of students-psychologists and their interrelation with the crisis of professional readiness are considered.
