The Influence of Physical Exercise on Adolescent Personality Traits: The Mediating Role of Peer Relationship and the Moderating Role of Parent-Child Relationship.

Adolescence is the critical period of the formation for individual personality traits, which would be influenced by numerous factors such as the internal and external environment. In view of physical exercise as an important factor affecting the healthy development of adolescents, whether it would play an important role in the formation of adolescents’ personality traits and how it would work deserve further investigation. Based on the Ecological Systems Theory, this study has explored the relationship between physical exercise and adolescents’ personality traits, as well as the mediating effect of peer relationship and the moderating effect of parent–child relationship using 9,284 data samples. The regression results show that physical exercise has a significant positive impact on the development of personality traits such as neuroticism, conscientiousness, and agreeableness. Peer relationships exert the mediating effect between physical exercise and adolescents’ personality traits. However, parent–child relationship only moderates the effect of physical exercise on conscientiousness and agreeableness.

Психологическая коррекция интернет-зависимости подростков средствами арт-терапии

Psychological correction of Internet addiction is possible by means of art therapy. The advantage of the method is that art therapy acts in the language of visual and plastic expression, which is especially effective in working with adolescents and allows you to use it as a tool for research, development, and harmonization in cases where it is difficult for a teenager to express his emotions verbally. Modern studies of the relationship between Internet addiction and personality traits in adolescents, the relationship between the propensity to Internet addiction and character accentuations in adolescents, and the differences in personality traits and character accentuations of Internet-addicted boys and girls have been analyzed. There is a lack of scientific research on the effectiveness of psychological correction and prevention of Internet addiction among adolescents, taking into account their personal characteristics. Identifying and taking into account such features will further individualize the process of correctional, developmental, and psychoprophylactic activity of a psychologist. A description of the study of the effectiveness of methods in adolescents is given. The results of the analysis of the personality traits of adolescents prone to Internet addiction are presented. The personality traits of adolescents prone to Internet addiction include instability of the emotional sphere, self-doubt and increased personal anxiety, a reduced level of social and emotional intelligence. These personality traits create difficulties in the adolescent's communication with others and his interaction with society and also lead to difficulties in the further socialization of the individual. This further engages teenagers in using the Internet. The analysis of personality traits made it possible to develop a program for correcting Internet addiction in adolescents. Comparative results showed that the number of subjects at risk with Internet addiction and propensity to it decreased. The effectiveness of the developed program is noted.

Effects of subclinical emotional and behavioral problems on metabolic control in adolescents with type 1 diabetes: Role of maternal and adolescent personality traits

BackgroundPersonality traits of adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and those of their mothers may lead to poor glycemic control through psychiatric comorbidity. However, it is not yet known how the personality traits of adolescents with T1DM and those of their mothers affect metabolic control in the absence of or before the development of psychiatric disorders. We aimed to determine the effects of subclinical emotional and behavioral problems, as well as maternal and own personality traits, on metabolic control in adolescents with T1DM. MethodsA total of 48 adolescents with diabetes (19 females and 29 males), with a median age of 14 years, who did not meet diagnostic criteria for a psychiatric condition, and their mothers completed the Junior Temperament and Character Inventory (J-TCI) as well as the adolescent and parent forms of the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) and the TCI for adults. The mean HbA1c levels measured in the past year were obtained from medical records. ResultsPersonality traits and the emotional and behavioral difficulties in adolescents with poor metabolic control were similar to those with good metabolic control (p>.05). However, the self-directedness and cooperativeness subscale scores of the TCI completed by the mothers of those in the poor metabolic control group were significantly lower than the others: 25.5 vs. 30.4; t(39)= 3.737, p= .001, and 27.3 vs. 31.5; t(46)= 2.759, p= .008; respectively. ConclusionOur study showed that adolescents’ personality and subclinical symptoms were not related to HbA1c levels in the absence of psychiatric comorbidity, while some maternal personality traits were associated with metabolic control. Management of T1DM should be tailored to adolescents and their needs with the proper involvement of mothers.

Social phobia and addictive behaviours in adolescents

Adolescence is the age of discordance: abandonment of ideas and feelings, perpetual becoming, eternal change, everything presupposes contradiction. It is the age of speeds and disappointments. Pessimism alternates with enthusiasm for a new idea or for a noble cause, hence the affective ambivalence. This paper aims to identify some behavioural aspects and personality traits of adolescents of two categories, adolescents from two-parent families and those from single-parent families. To verify the work hypothesis, we applied the Scale for assessing adolescent disorders - short form, the sample population includes 90 adolescents who are part of single-parent and two-parent families, 45 male subjects and 45 female subjects. Based on the results there is a significant difference between adolescents from biparental families and adolescents from monoparental families, in terms of generalized anxiety, substance addiction and eating disorder. People with high levels of anxiety are often convinced that they will act in the wrong way or that someone else will judge them.

Theory of mind of adolescents in the context of inclusive education

Topicality of the study is due to the need for practice in understanding and substantiating the psychological foundations of the formation of such a personality trait of adolescents as tolerance, as well as in identifying other personal characteristics of adolescents as predictors of the formation of tolerance. The purpose of the article is a generalised theoretical presentation of the empirical results of a pilot study of the personality traits of adolescents in the context of inclusive education. Achieving this goal makes it possible to reveal the psychological mechanisms of the adolescent's social behaviour. The study of the problem of the mental model as a predictor of the formation of tolerance in adolescents in the context of inclusive education was carried out within the framework of the methodological principles developed by Simon Baron-Cohen, as well as in the framework of the system-subject approach of Yelena Sergiyenko, in which the traditions of the systemic (Boris Lomov, Alexei Leontiev, Vladimir Shadrikov) and the subject-activity (Sergei Rubinstein, Kseniya Abul'khanova, Andrey Brushlinskiy, Viktor Znakov) approaches in psychology are creatively integrated. The article presents and substantiates the results of an empirical study of the mental model as a predictor of the formation of tolerance in adolescents in the context of inclusive education. In the course of applying the procedure of regression analysis, on the basis of the mental model, the basic personality predictors of the formation of tolerance in adolescents – “self-control in communication”, “self-attitude” and “situational anxiety” were identified. The resulting regression model explains the possibility of influencing the general index of tolerance through the indicated personal characteristics. The mental model makes it possible to conceptualise the inner world of a teenager. The article substantiates new research opportunities for studying the ability of adolescents to understand their own mental world and the mental world of another. The conclusion is made about the high productivity of using the mental model, its research capabilities in the study of individual personality traits, and, in particular, in the formation of adolescent tolerance in the context of inclusive education.

Identity Diffusion as the Organizing Principle of Borderline Personality Traits in Adolescents-A Non-clinical Study.

Growing evidence shows that diagnosing and treating borderline personality disorder (BPD) is of high relevance for affected youths. Although identity crisis is part of the normative developmental process, identity diffusion is a potential candidate for being an appropriate concept in further developing screening tools and interventions for BPD treatment in adolescence. We hypothesized that severity of borderline traits (as indicated by the strength of their associations with identity diffusion) would be negatively associated with non-clinical adolescents' endorsement of borderline features' presence. We also hypothesized that identity diffusion had a central role in the network of borderline personality traits and could be conceived of as a latent organizing principle of borderline personality disorder. In our study, 169 non-clinical adolescents (81 girls and 88 boys; Mage = 15.38; SDage = 1.52) filled out self-report measures of borderline personality features and identity diffusion. According to our results, having strong feelings and interpersonal sensitivity were the two most endorsed borderline personality features. Borderline personality features were positively correlated with identity diffusion. The more severe a borderline personality feature was, the less relevant it was for non-clinical adolescents. According to a network analysis, identity diffusion was the most central and least redundant element of the network of borderline personality traits. Results are discussed from a clinical point of view, further encouraging professionals to use identity diffusion screening tools to detect BPD in adolescence.

Closeness to Parents and Experiencing Threats with COVID-19 Mediates the Link between Personality and Stress among Adolescents.

Purpose: many researchers have already established that the 2019 COVID-19 pandemic poses a threat to adolescent psychological health. Studies on the COVID-19 pandemic mainly focus on individual psychological consequences, such as anxiety, depression or stress. The presented study added a family context to psychological analyses of the COVID-19 pandemic in adolescence. We examined the mediational effects of closeness to parents and perceived pandemic-related threats to relationships between personality (emotional stability and agreeableness) and stress in adolescents. Methods: in total, 413 students from secondary schools in southern Poland completed questionnaires measuring stress, personality, closeness to parents and experiencing threats with COVID-19. Results: the results demonstrated that closeness with parents in conjunction with experiencing family-related threats and threats related to lifestyle changes were mediators between adolescent personality traits and the intensity of the stress experienced. Conclusions: closeness with parents and threats experienced with COVID-19 mediate relationships between personality traits (emotional stability and agreeableness) and the intensification of stress in adolescents.

An empirically derived hierarchical tree typology of DSM-5 pathological personality traits in adolescence.

Traditional personality disorder (PD) taxonomies have been developed for adult populations. We aimed to identify an adolescent hierarchical tree typology of PD indicators to provide classification into broad severity classes but also more fine-grained classification within those classes. A large sample of community adolescents (N = 1,940) completed a validated dimensional measure that covers a comprehensive range of pathologically formulated personality traits, the Personality Inventory for DSM-5. Latent class tree modeling suggested three classes at the first level of the tree representing high, medium, and low PD-trait levels-thus spanning the range between normal and pathological personality. These classes were divided into subclasses lower in the hierarchy, which suggested subclinical variants of patterns that are often found in clinical samples, medium levels of externalizing and internalizing behaviors, and differential profiles of thriving in the low-risk classes. The identified classes had promising initial criterion validity based on meaningful relations with self- and peer-reported measures of friendship and social functioning with peers. Our hierarchical PD tree typology may represent groups at differential risk for developing PDs and could therefore be useful for preventive purposes.

THE INFLUENCE OF ADOLESCENTS ' SELF-ESTEEM ON THE MOTIVATION TO ACHIEVE SUCCESS

This article reveals the features of the development of self-esteem and achievement motivation in older adolescents. Adolescence is considered a crisis period in human ontogenesis. In modern studies, there is a steady increase in the formation of unfavorable personality traits in adolescents. At this age, problems with self-esteem of the individual are more common, since the teenager's interest in himself, his self-perception and the need to understand himself are activated by the processes of puberty and psycho-physiological changes. The danger of this tendency for the future generation lies in the fact that inadequate self-esteem can cause the development of insecurity, complexes, anxiety, aggression, and can also act as a factor in suicidal behavior of adolescents. It should be noted that for many years Kazakhstan has been among the ten countries in the world in terms of the number of suicides among adolescents and youth. In modern socio-economic conditions, it is especially important to achieve a high level of development of a teenager's personality, and the formation of such qualities as self-confidence, motivation to achieve success. Therefore, the study of the relationship between self-esteem and the motivation for achieving success of the younger generation, along with modern social and revolutionary changes, is one of the urgent problems. The article presents an analysis of the results of an empirical study, the purpose of which was to identify the relationship between self-esteem and motivation for achieving success in adolescents. To achieve the goal of the study, the following psychodiagnostic methods were used: the method of G.N.Kazantseva "Study of general self-esteem"; the method of A. A. Rean "Motivation for success and fear of failure". The results suggest that there is a close positive relationship between self-esteem and achievement motivation in adolescents

Time beyond traits: Time perspective dimensions, personality traits, and substance use in adolescents

We examined associations between time perspective dimensions and substance use, after controlling for personality traits in adolescents. Time perspective was defined as feelings and orientations toward the past, present, and future, and substance use included tobacco, alcohol, marijuana, and illicit drugs. The Five-Factor Model of personality (extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, emotional stability, and openness) was used. Participants were 791 adolescents (Mage = 15.82, SD = 1.23; 56% female). Findings indicated that (a) negative feelings about time and (b) having an orientation toward the past over the present and future were positively associated with greater substance use. Sequential regression analyses indicated that both time feelings and time orientation were associated with substance use above and beyond personality traits. Multivariate analyses also indicated that time perspective dimensions were related to personality traits with generally small to moderate associations, showing that the constructs were independent. Results support the notions that time perspective dimensions are distinct from personality traits in adolescents and that time perspective dimensions may be modifiable mechanisms used to change human behaviors including substance use in adolescents. The findings have implications for adolescent substance use interventions that target time perspective dimensions.

Features of interconnection between temperament, self-esteem and aggressiveness in adolescents with mental and somatic pathology

Introduction Adolescence can manifest different in norm and in illness. It’s important to find common characteristics of adaptation with different types of ontogenesis, or leading manifestations of diseaseObjectivesThree adolescence (boys&girls) sample: normal – 22, middle age 16, cardio pathology – 7, middle age 16, psychopathology – 12, middle age 15MethodsDirect self-esteem by Dembo-Rubinstein (DR) test and indirect self-esteem by color attitude test by Etkind (CAT), Structure of Temperament Questionnaire (STQ-77), Buss-Perry Aggression Questionnaire (BPAQ).ResultsSignificant differences (criteria Kruskal–Wallis) were obtained on scales BRAQ “Hostility” (H= 8.430, p<0.015), “Common aggression” (H= 8.347, p<0.015), STQ-77 “Physical Endurance” (H= 9.895, p<0.007), “Physical Tempo” (H= 8.579, p<0.014), “Social Endurance” (H= 7.902, p<0.019), “Social Tempo” (H= 7.736, p<0.021), “Plasticity” (H= 7.797, p<0.020), “Self-confidence” (H= 7.157, p<0.028), “Neuroticism” (H= 8.179, p<0.017); gaps DR-CAT for scales “Health” (H= 12.330, p<0.002), “Happiness” (H= 7.296, p<0.026).

Individual asymmetry profile and typological personality

This article examines the relationship between individual asymmetry and typological personality traits in adolescence, and also develops recommendations for improving the effectiveness of educational activities in adolescence. The study, which involved a total of 912 young people, was carried out in three stages. At the first stage of the study, 357 students of academic lyceums (74 girls and 283 boys) took part. The second stage of the study involved 244 students of vocational colleges (including 218 girls and 26 boys) and 80 conscripts. The third stage of the study involved 231 students (138 girls and 92 boys). The relationships identified between the individual profile of asymmetry and typological personality traits (cognitive style and style of activity, which are expressed in pragmatism, reflexivity, theoretical and practical style of thinking, in the features of verbal and non-verbal thinking, the leading signaling system, emotionality, figurative memory, volition, analytical abilities, self-regulation, etc.) made it possible to formulate scientifically grounded conclusions about the close relationship between the individual profile of asymmetry and typological personality traits. For example, if the functional test “Plexus of fingers” is mainly associated with such a personality trait as the ease of transition from thinking to practical action (pragmatism), then “Aiming” and “Applause” have a significant impact on the manifestation of the first and second signaling systems in personality. The functional test “Pose of Napoleon” serves as an impor- tant factor in the formation of the quality of extraversion-introversion of a person. Key words: individual profile of asymmetry, typological personality traits, adolescence, cognitive style, learning activity.

Проблемы построения и анализа упорядоченных сетей частных корреляций в психологических исследованиях

In the context of network modeling, psychological variables are understood as directly affecting each other, and not as a consequence of latent constructs. An efficient assessment of networks showing relationships between measured variables can be carried out using the methods of regularization of the network of partial correlations. This article provides an example of constructing a regularized network of partial correlations in the R software environment (it is showing the relationship between the personality traits of adolescents and their behavior in virtual space using the example of the social network VKontakte) and examines the features of constructing and analyzing ordered networks of partial correlations. A list of potential problems arising when using the considered network methodology is presented. The issues related to sample size and reproducibility of the network, difficulties in interpreting networks, and comparing different networks with each other, including both network models and models of latent variables, are considered.
