Психологическая сепарация от родителей в юношеском возрасте в контексте ценностных и смысловых ориентаций

<p style="text-align: justify;">Relevance. The problem of psychological separation in adolescence comes up against many contradictions, such as high demands of society to the young generation and difficulties on the way to comply with them (prolongation of the adolescent period, dependence on parents, personal immaturity, infantilism, instability of axiological orientations, etc.). Aim. The goal is to study the relationship between the level of separation anxiety, components of psychological separation from parents and axiological and life–purpose orientations in adolescence. Materials and methods. Adult Separation Anxiety Questionnaire ASA–27, adapted by A.A. Dityuk Hoffman’s questionnaire of psychological separation, D.A. Leontyev’s test of life–purpose orientations, E.B. Fantalova’s «Level of Value and Availability Ratio in Different Life Spheres». Sampling: 98 students of higher and secondary specialized educational institutions at the age of 17–21 years (52% boys and 48% girls). Results and conclusions. Components of psychological separation from parents in adolescence is uneven; psychological separation from parents has been partially completed. Separation from the mother is more pronounced than from the father. Separation anxiety is expressed to a moderate degree. The conflicting style of separation prevails. Attitudinal separation from parents has been achieved to a greater extent affective and behavioral separations are insufficiently formed; in boys and girls, pronounced separation anxiety is associated with unformed life–purpose orientations and motivational and personal integration in the «value–availability» plane in the areas of «happy family life», «materially secure life», «freedom»; incomplete separation from the mother and the presence of meaning in life for her children are interconnected; incomplete separation from the father is associated with the present life–meaning crisis in his children.</p>

THE HIDDEN FACE OF PARENTING: EMOTIONAL IMMATURITY

Emotionally immature parents manifest a markedly distinct constellation of behavioral, emotional, and attitudinal characteristics. These individuals frequently exhibit egocentrism, constrained empathy, an excessive orientation towards self, an aversion to emotional expressions and intimacy. They often demonstrate an inability to recognize and appropriately respond to the needs of their offspring, leading to a predilection for tense and conflict-laden familial environments. Such dynamics are exacerbated by the parents’ aversion to genuine emotional engagement, which in turn impedes their capacity for self-reflection. Interactions with these parents are characteristically unidirectional and markedly lacking in depth. This study delineates four archetypes of emotionally immature parents: the emotionally driven parent, characterized by a reliance on personal feelings and a predisposition towards anxiety; the control-oriented parent, who imposes a rigid oversight on their children’s lives, dismissing their interests in favor of stringent goal orientation; the passive parent, predominantly self-engaged and frequently aligning with similarly immature personalities, exhibiting a tendency to capitulate to more dominant figures; and the rejecting parent, who displays a disinclination towards engaging in time with their offspring, finding solace in solitude and the pursuit of personal desires. This discourse aims to elucidate the phenomenon of parental emotional immaturity, outlining the primary traits of such parents and categorizing the distinct typologies thereof. The goal of this paper is to provide a comprehensive description and theoretical explication of the characteristics and classifications of emotionally immature parents.

Психологические предикаты виктимного поведения молодых людей с интеллектуальными нарушениями

<p><em>The study is aimed at identifying the main individual psychological qualities of a personality that provoking the occurrence of victim behavior in high school students with intellectual disabilities (ID). Victim behavior is considered as the behavior of an individual with a social deviation from the norm, in which the individual himself, due to the commission of certain actions or inaction, finds himself in the role of a victim of a situation, conflict, bullying, fraud or other illegal actions. The study involved high school students with ID (N=492) living in Russia, including the newly annexed regions of Lugansk, Kherson and Donetsk regions. The study used methods of problematization, dialogization, and group interaction. It has been revealed that personal immaturity, impulsiveness, suggestibility, very high or low self-esteem, poor regulation of one’s emotional state and behavior, concrete thinking, and weak analysis of situations contribute to the development of victim behavior in students with ID. The data obtained in the study are sufficient material for organizing preventive work to reduce victimization among students with ID.</em></p>

Распространение экстремизма в молодёжной среде по причине информационного инфантилизма

Introduction. The presented paper examines the reasons for the development of youth extremism. In this study the author draws attention to information infantilism typical for young people today. Starting from «being determines consciousness» the author points out the objective reality of active youth involvement in virtual world. As active users of the Internet, young people join in cyber interaction: communication, exchange of information of both personal and group nature.
 Specific features of virtual interaction combined with personal immaturity lead to the fact that young users, not being fully aware of legal consequences of their actions, verbally or visually express ideas that fall under the definition of extremism stated in the Federal law № 114 of 25 July 2002 «On counteracting extremist activities», as well as become victims of recruiters to extremist groups, which actively operate in the information space and through communication in social networks, on dating sites.
 The aim of the paper is to consider information infantilism as one of the causes of dissemination of extremism through virtual environment. This theoretical construct proposes to reflect the specifics of communications in virtual environment and the characteristics of individuals, which together create prerequisites for their involvement in extremist activities and dissemination of extremism.
 Methodology. The problem was examined through the prism of psychological knowledge, which makes it possible to uncover the underlying features of human psychology that contribute to involvement in extremist activities in the virtual environment.
 Methods and techniques. The research was based on general scientific methods.
 Results. Theoretical study substantiates the concept of «information infantilism», which is one of the reasons for the dissemination of extremism through the virtual space.
 Scientific novelty: the author introduces the term «information infantilism», which is proposed to be considered as one of the psychological causes of involvement in extremist activities and the spread of extremism.
 Practical significance of the new concept is that it can be used in the process of education of youth and in the prevention of extremist crimes.

ЗАРУБІЖНИЙ ДОСВІД ПОПЕРЕДЖЕННЯ НАСИЛЬНИЦЬКИМ ЗЛОЧИНАМ ПРОТИ СТАТЕВОЇ СВОБОДИ ТА СТАТЕВОЇ НЕДОТОРКАНОСТІ НЕПОВНОЛІТНІХ

The article considers international legal acts to prevent violent crimes against sexual freedom and sexual integrity of the child. An analysis of international legal acts and legislation of other states shows that today almost all countries of the world have norms, to some extent related to the criminal law protection of public morality. The existence of these norms is due to the need for state control over prostitution, the circulation of pornographic products, as well as the existence of obligations at the level of interstate relations. It is noted that in international practice there are no generally accepted standards of legal regulation of the market of sexual services - in each country special legal approaches are introduced, taking into account national traditions. At the same time, in most European countries, against the background of loyalty to persons engaged in prostitution, stricter sanctions have been introduced than in Ukraine for sexual violence against children. The urgency of the topic is due to the fact that the expansion of the process of European integration of Ukraine requires the implementation of standards of protection of human rights and freedoms recognized in the law enforcement practice. This is especially true of children who, because of psychological, social and personal immaturity, dependence on adults, lack of life experience and many other factors, are least protected from the dangers, including sexual abuse (according to UNICEF, every fifth child in Europe becomes sexually abused). World-wide humanitarian approaches to the protection of the sexual integrity of the child are enshrined in the Geneva Declaration of the Rights of the Child 1924 p., And subsequently in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights 1948 p., The Declaration of the Rights of the Child 1959, the 1989 Convention on the Rights of the Child (ratified in Ukraine 1991 p. .), The Council of Europe Convention on the Protection of Children against Sexual Exploitation and Sexual Abuse. In accordance with international standards, in addition to the punishment of the perpetrators, work should be done with those who have committed acts of a sexual nature, to prevent new violations, as well as to rehabilitate victims. Unlike the EU criminal law doctrine, US federal law addresses the issue of criminal protection of child sexual abuse more broadly, including in the “child sexual abuse” group of acts that have more than direct but also the indirect link with the sexual motivation of the guilty person. These actions are divided into two types by American criminologists: adult and child sexual intercourse (incest) and extramarital sex (pedophilia). At the level of law, most U.S. states punish not only the person who provides sexual services but also the person who uses them (so-called "patronage"). This principle of the American lawmaker seems to be quite relevant because it allows to create evidence base, prevent crime.

EVELYN WAUGH’S NOVEL “BRIDESHEAD REVISITED” FROM THE VIEWPOINT OF THE GAY THEORY

The article is examining the novel “Brideshead Revisited” by Evelyn Waugh and the depiction of the identity of homosexualism in it. By analysing the novel “Brideshead Revisited” the author has applied the gay theory, a theory of culture and literature of the second half of the 20th century that alongside with the theory of feminism turned against the stereotypes of patriarchal culture. The novel “Brideshead Revisited” demonstrates hints about the homo- erotical bonds between the twomain characters. Although these messages are not direct and straight-forward; however, when reading the text from the perspective of the gay theory, we can disclose the use of allusions and codes thus providing an interpretation of friendship between Charles and Sebastian, as a romantic love story. In the case of Charles and Sebastian, the homoerotical link creates tension and problems, the depiction of their relations points to homosexual interest typical of immature personalities. However, the portrait of another, supporting character of the novel, Antony Blance, offers a different portrayal of a homosexual man: his hero is mature and successful in expressing his essentially different sexuality. In this way, Waugh has created an innovative image of a homosexual man. Nevertheless, emotionally the most vivid and nostalgic description in the novel is the portrayal of the romantic relations between both the main characters in their youth. They are depicted in a fragile and discrete manner by focusing on the emotional experience of the characters. Lack of openness and subtexts increase the artistic value of the novel.

Эмоциональные характеристики профессиональных установок старшеклассников

Introduction. The problem of professional self-determination in Russian and international psychology has been addressed for a long time and has not lost its relevance. Russian and international research mostly presents studies that consider the relationship of professional identity on student samples or in professional groups, and the studies mostly focus on the development of skills in the IT sphere. There is considerably less research aimed at studying the readiness for professional self-determination among students aged 15-18. The aim of the research was to study the emotional characteristics of professional attitudes among high school graduates and college students of the first and second years. Materials and Methods. In order to obtain empirical data, we used: Questionnaire of Professional Attitudes of Adolescents (I.M. Kondakov); Questionnaire of Emotional Attitudes towards the Future (M.R. Ginzburg); Questionnaire of Self-Realization Assessment (M.R. Ginzburg). Research Results and Discussion. The data obtained in our study demonstrates the relationship between emotional characteristics of the future and professional attitudes, indicating that the self-determination process is experienced by modern youth quite acutely. The data obtained in our study demonstrates the relationship between emotional characteristics of the future and professional attitudes, indicating that the self-determination process is experienced by modern youth quite acutely. Meaningful connections between the characteristics of self-determination and the emotional connotation of the future were identified and analyzed. Immaturity of professional self-determination is characterized by emotional experience of the future, manifestation of anxiety, despair and worry. Professional attitudes: “Rationalism of professional choice”, “Optimism about professional future” and “High self-esteem” are regarded as appropriate attitudes to the situation of professional self-determination; “Dependence and indecision in professional choice” are characterized by personal immaturity to professional self-determination, emotional experience of the future. Most likely, this emotional attitude towards the future is caused not only by the expanding range of opportunities for self-realization provided by the digital economy, but also by the high mobility of socio-economic processes and global uncertainty of the future. Conclusion. The results of the research suggest the conclusion about the relationship between the emotional characteristics of the attitude towards the future and professional attitudes of high school students, which can be used to improve the efficiency of vocational guidance activities with high school students.

Abstract No. 314 Adjunctive cadaveric bone chip and demineralized bone matrix administration for sclerotherapy treatment of symptomatic pediatric unicameral bone cysts

Unicameral bone cysts (UBCs) are benign lesions at the metaphysis of long bones in skeletally immature persons. Large cysts may reduce the structural integrity of bone, leading to pathologic fractures. Traditional treatments include immobilization, steroid injections, and curettage with bone grafting, but these have shown high rates of cyst recurrence. Image-guided intralesional injections of doxycycline and bone grafting material has begun to be investigated as a treatment option with more favorable outcomes.

Religiosity, Personality and Maturity

Religiosity is something available to every person, therefore it might be corelated with personality and maturity; this, however, should not be said about causality. This article shows that no matter what aspects of religiosity are studied, religiosity is always more than personality, hence the findings of many authors yield conflicting results. The research presented here serves to explain this problem from the perspective of examining the relationship between religiosity and personality and pseudo-religiosity and maturity. In the first study, Polish university students who declared to be believers and members of the Roman Catholic Church were examined using the Personality Inventory (NEO-FFI) and Scale of Personal Religiosity in order to investigate a relationship between some aspects of religiosity and personal traits. On the other hand, a second study shows that most members of charismatic groups, identified as pseudo-religious, exhibit personality immaturity. In this study pseudo-religious individuals were examined using the Personality Maturity Questionnaire (DoM) based on the Maslow Theory of Personality Maturity.

ФОРМИРОВАНИЕ АНТИНАРКОТИЧЕСКОЙ УСТАНОВКИ У ПОДРАСТАЮЩЕГО ПОКОЛЕНИЯ

The formation of an anti-drug attitude among Russian minors becomes especially expedient in light of the growing number of criminal trafficking in psychotropic substances on the territory of the country, the general “rejuvenation” of crime in the illegal distribution of narcotic substances or their analogues, the high degree of involvement of the younger generation in the use of prohibited substances. The topic of combating drug addiction has been worrying the minds of specialists in the field of law, medicine, sociology, psychology, and public administration all over the world, including Russia, for more than a dozen years. In modern conditions, thanks to narcotic and other psychotropic substances, a large number of people are trying to escape from life’s difficulties, social pressure. At the same time, often, the use of psychoactive substances leads to deaths or psychoneurological disorders. Therefore, this topic seems to be very relevant for research. In this article, the author provides a general statistical picture of the prevalence of narcotic and other psychotropic substances among immature persons. On the basis of the analyzed regulatory and legal framework and the opinions of specialists, specific steps have been developed to form an anti-drug attitude among minors in modern realities.

Manifestation of the traits of extremist personality among high school students

This article is dedicated to the relevant problem – extremism in youth environment. The author summarizes new material on the topic, as well as introduces into the scientific discourse the description of the types of extremist personality among male high school students. The goal is to reveal the traits of extremist personality in high school students, and typologize these manifestations based on the empirical data. The scientific novelty lies in studying the characteristics of extremist personality among male high school students. The two types of personality are determined. It is established that extremist patterns in personality manifest through the following parameters: duty to endure pain and acceptance of the duty to die; propensity to manipulate; tendency to submerge into transcendental and transpersonal; level of satisfaction of basic social needs; degree of psychological stability; level of anxiety; level of identity manifestation, level of tolerance to negative mental states, level of social and communicative tolerance. The author reveals the pronounced psychological characteristics of the two key types of extremist personality among high school students. The first type can be characterized as infantile, immature personality with a severe need for love, acceptance, protection, support, prone to dogmatism and power thinking. The second type has evident autistic features: lack of nee for social relations, fear of the surrounding world, any deviations from the usual, familiar surroundings, and course of life.

Созависимость, жертвенность и альтруизм в аспекте помогающего поведения

The article presents the results of the study that revealed the interconnection of codependency, self-sacrifice, and altruism. It showed that though these personality traits are close in the meaning when actualized in helping behavior, codependence is typical for an immature personality, while self-sacrifice and altruism for an integral and self-sufficient one. It has been experimentally proved that self-sacrifice and altruism are interconnected; altruism is an effective implementation of helping behavior, and self-sacrifice is ideational attitude reflected in readiness for such behavior. Codependency is not connected with self-sacrifice and altruism phenomena, having a different motivation and associated with violence experienced in childhood. Differentiating these phenomena helps to correct inef-fective helping behavior, as well as to develop an ability to actualize its productive and socially important aspects.

FEATURES OF PSYCHOLOGICAL ADAPTATION TO SCHOOL OF FIRST-GRADERS WITH SPEECHDISORDERS IN INCLUSIVE EDUCATIONAL ENVIRONMENT

The article deals with the problem of psychological adaptation to school of first-graders with speech disorders in inclusive educational environment. The article outlines the essence of the concepts of adaptation to school, which is understood as the adaptation of children to a modified system of requirements, norms and rules associated with the implementation of educational activities. It is determined by readiness to accept the role of a pupil, the formation of a positive attitude to school studies and a sense of emotional comfort in a new social space. The problem of disadaptation to school is determined; it is caused by a number of factors: internal (school readiness, peculiarities of psychophysical development, brain dysfunction, etc.) and external (irrational organization of learning, inconsistency of teaching methods and technologies with the age and functionality of children, etc.). The article substantiates the relevance of encouraging children with speech disorders to participate in inclusive learning in order to socialize them. The authors present the results of the empirical study according to which the personal, socio-psychological and psychophysiological aspects of the psychological adaptation of first grade pupils with speech disorders are formed at an insufficient level. Insufficient adaptability to school of this category of children happens due to personal immaturity, predominance of the game motive and insufficient acceptance of the role of a school student. Insufficient adaptation to the psychophysical aspect confirms the presence of pupils with speech disorders of endogenous factors, which cause their difficulties in learning, in particular neurological disorders manifested in rapid fatigue, difficulties to concentrate and slowing in the pace of processing educational material.That is, speech disorders are a destabilizing factor in the process of psychological adaptation of children to school. According to the results of the survey carried out by specialists of the support team the authors found insufficient level of professional competence in relation to the psychological adaptation of first-graders with speech disorders to school in inclusive environment. Thus, the great majority of specialists need help in increasing their professional competence in relation to the specified problems in the format of seminars, trainings and webinars.

The Role of Junior Adolescents' School Well-Being/Ill-Being Characteristics in School Anxiety Variations.

Difficulties that junior adolescents (aged 11–13 years old) experience in terms of academic adaptation, which are indicated through school anxiety and academic wellbeing characteristics, often lead to a dramatic decrease in academic performance, behavioral problems, and deterioration of their health. The purpose of this investigation is to determine the structure of characteristics of school wellbeing/ill-being of junior adolescents and their role in variations of school anxiety, which largely define academic adaptation. In this study, based on positive psychology and a systematic approach, the level of distinctiveness of characteristics of school wellbeing is carried out with the help of comparative analysis; the factor structure of these characteristics is identified; the characteristics of wellbeing and their coordinated combinations (factors) are determined as predictors of school anxiety. The sample consisted of 120 students of the 5th–7th grades, aged M = 11.5; SD = 1.04 (49.2% girls, 50.8% boys) who attended Saratov secondary schools. To study the level of school anxiety, we used the Philips’ School Anxiety Scale (SAS), and indicators of school wellbeing were measured with the original scales developed by the authors of the study. Statistical processing of the results was carried out with regression analysis and factor analysis. The results showed that the school wellbeing of junior adolescents forms a complex structure that includes cognitive, personal, emotional, social, and psychophysiological characteristics of school life. It was found that from 16% up to 53% of the deviation of variables characterizing school anxiety is conditioned by the assessment of variables characterizing emotional states, the ability of self-regulation, cognitive capabilities, and interest in learning. The study determined a high level of tension in adolescents in the field of emotions’ self-regulation, unpleasant physical sensations at school, before and after attending school, in the course of planning their school day and reflecting on educational activities. The most powerful factors of school anxiety in junior adolescents are physical distress, low ability to self-regulate and social adaptation, lack of independence in a learning activity, and personal immaturity.

The Lack of Satisfactory Relationships as the Contextual Cause of Extramarital Relationships in Women: A Qualitative Study

Introduction: Given the increase in extramarital relationships and subsequent increase in the number of divorces, the present study aimed to study the contextual factors for extramarital relationships in women.Methods: This study was conducted using a qualitative method based on the grounded theory. To this end, all women involved in extramarital relationships residing in Yazd were considered as the research population. A total number of 40 women involved in extramarital relationships were selected through snowball sampling and purposive sampling and were interviewed. The data collected through the interviews were then analyzed using a theoretical coding technique.Results: A total of 58 concepts (codes) were identified in open coding and 14 subcategories were extracted in axial coding. Besides, the contextual factors for extramarital relationships were divided into four main categories including emotional and behavioral gaps, unbalanced sexual relations, immature personality, and the evoking social environment. Finally, the lack of satisfactory relationships emerged as a core category.Conclusion: Based on the findings, it can be concluded that extramarital relationships in women can be considered a multifactorial phenomenon that is formed by the absence of satisfactory individual, marital, and social relationships.
