THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN CARDIOINTERVALOGRAPHY INDICATORS AND PSYCHOLOGICAL COMPONENTS OF THE ADAPTIVE POTENTIAL OF CADETS IN THE FIRST YEAR OF STUDY

Military service is a very specific type of activity, during which the human body can be exposed to a whole range of unfavorable factors of various etiologies. The most difficult period in military service is the initial adaptation period, when the physiological and psychological restructuring of the soldier's body occurs, his adaptation to life and everyday life, to the requirements of the military environment. Adaptation of military personnel to military activities affects the success of this activity, as well as the preservation of the health of military personnel. The study of the features of the process of adaptation to military service seems important for organizing high-quality training of personnel and achieving the ability of military personnel to withstand significant physical and neuropsychic stress. All this also applies to students of military educational institutions. In this case, motivation will be understood as a time-limited psychophysiological process that controls the behavior of an individual, setting its direction, organization, activity and stability; the ability of a person to actively satisfy his needs, while further acting in the interests of the state and society. One of the important areas of this work, which has great practical significance, is the study, assessment and forecasting of the adaptive capabilities of the cadets' body. Most often, psychological diagnostic methods are used to determine the level of adaptation, but recently instrumental research methods, in particular, heart rate variability analysis, have become increasingly widespread.

Формализация процедуры выявления личностных характеристик потенциальной жертвы кибермошенничества

The current state of the problem of cybercrime is considered and the most common types of cyber fraud are highlighted. The concept of cybervictimisation is described as a combination of personality traits characterising an increased level of propensity to become a victim of cybercrime. A procedure for identifying personality characteristics of individuals with increased cybervictimisation is proposed. Approaches to researching the relationship between the degree of expression of certain character traits and the manifestation of cybervictimisation are studied. The methods of psychological diagnostics for the purpose of identifying personality traits are considered. To determine the quantitative characteristics of the degree of manifestation of character traits, the 16-factor personality questionnaire of R. Kettell was used to test a sample of respondents who were subjected to fraudulent actions in cyberspace. The respondents were divided into two control groups – those who succumbed to the actions of cyber fraudsters and those who managed to resist them. For each respondent, a set of walls describing the degree of manifestation of the relevant character traits was obtained. The task was to identify the personality traits most characteristic of the respondents in each of the control groups by finding the greatest variation in the wall values for each of the character traits across the types of cyberfraud under consideration. The Mann-Whitney criterion was used to evaluate the differences in the respective samples of walls translated into a ranking scale. Using the analysis of asymptotic significance of differences in the average ranks, the character traits for which the reliability of differences is maximum were selected, and a matrix was constructed that allows characterising the propensity to be exposed to a certain type of cyber fraud by the most pronounced manifestation of these character traits. The obtained results were compared with published research results in this area, and their qualitative correspondence was revealed. The set of personality characteristics significative in terms of exposure to cyber fraud is generated. The direction of development of the topic under study is set.

Psychological features of coping with stress in tennis players during training and competitions

The issues of coping with stress in sports, despite being widely studied, do not lose relevance due to their high practical significance. Studies of coping in a sport like tennis are not so numerous. The purpose of this study is to establish the features of stress–coping behavior in a sample of adolescent tennis players during training and competitions. The study was conducted with the participation of 60 people in the training and in the competition period. The sample was made up of those engaged in tennis and table tennis. Methods of psychological diagnostics were used as methods: «Scale of stress sources» (E.V. Raspopina), «Test of resilience» (S. Maddi in Leontiev's adaptation), «Methodology for studying the relationship between an athlete and a coach» (Y.L. Khanina and A.V. Stambulova), «Coping test» (R. Lazarus). It was revealed that the more athletes are passionate about their activities, the less resistance they have to various sources of stress, the higher the indicator of the influence of the surrounding world on respondents as a source of stress, the more pronounced their coping strategy of distancing is. The more pronounced the influence of external conditions, the less likely athletes will resort to coping «taking responsibility». The higher the indicator of the gnostic component, the less respondents use the coping strategy «escape-avoidance». The presence of good relationships between athletes and the coach, minimizing the impact of stress on athletes, the predominance of adaptive coping strategies and a high level of resilience among athletes will not only contribute to the development of coping behavior, but also improve the performance of athletes. Therefore, it is very important to promote the development of positive dynamics of the development of these components that form coping behavior.

Využití psychodiagnostických metod v manažerské práci

The article focuses on the use of psycho-diagnostic methods in management and HR management. Various methods and their classification are described and analysed for their best uses. Authors of the article work with the premise that while psychology itself developed in a neutral clinical environment, eventually it spread to other areas, such as HR management, with a completely different overall approach towards the examined subject. Where clinical psychology focuses on diagnostics separated from real life, HR psychology examines employees and job candidates in specific situations. It is further influenced by the HR professional’s experience and own, subjective calibration. Most managers have no psychological background and tend to think in precise, measurable terms unattainable in psychology. Thus reliability, validity, objectivity, and standardization of results is of utmost importance to the applied psychological methods and the results these methods provide. There are various ways of classifying psychological diagnostic methods in management. These include factors such as individuality, administration, or time-scope. The authors, however, choose to look at these methods in terms of their use and purpose. Non testing methods are described first – observation, interview, anamnesis, and analysis of spontaneous products are introduced in detail. Following are personality and performance tests, analysis of their advantages and disadvantages and possible uses. The focus of the article lies in detailed analysis of selected psycho-diagnostic methods and their use in the recruitment process through the eyes of managers. The authors interviewed managers with experience in recruitment and selection of new employees and provided a brief overview of providers of each of the following analysed methods: Behavioural interview, Hogan Personality Index (HPI), Meyers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), The Big Five Questionnaire (NEO), Belbin e-interplace, Achievement Motivation Inventory (LMI) and the Bochum Personality questionnaire (BIP). The outcome includes basic recommendations for the use of various psycho-diagnostic tools. The most important is the need for the identification of employee selection criteria. Appropriate psycho-diagnostic tools can be selected only once these criteria are well defined. The various tool providers often organise pilot runs to create diagnostic models that are tailored to specific job positions or clients. Such models are often reliable, and their providers should be able to provide data about empirical test results, standardization of the used methods and detailed user and evaluation manuals. Evaluation reports for each candidate are a standard feature of such solutions. Further recommendations are: psycho-diagnostic tools are not the only source of information about candidates, the number of candidates and the overall time-frame designated for the hiring process play an important role too, some methods are good only for screening while other methods require professional psychologists. Some methods are better for specific positions or can be used to sieve candidates in the first round of the hiring process. And finally, the various tools can be combined for better results which should always be evaluated not in their absolute values but in relation to the desired position and the required competencies.

Integrated Technology of University Students’ Sports Selection and Orientation in Physical Education Specializations Tailored to Individual Characteristics

The article analyzes student sport, which is a reserve of high-performance sport, on the one hand, and a powerful factor in health preservation and socialization of future specialists and active members of society, on the other hand. The article discusses sports selection and orientation in the context of sportization of orientation of university physical education towards preservation of students’ health, creation of health-forming educational space to ensure the development of health-forming values that result in the improvement of students’ health and physical condition. The aim of the study is to develop, apply and evaluate the effectiveness of the integrated technology of students’ sports selection and orientation towards university physical education specializations tailored to students’ individual characteristics. The general scientific research methodology is presented by a systematic approach to determining a person’s individual characteristics in the unity and interrelation of biological, social and psychological components, their influence on choice and success in certain activities, and their impact on health. Methods of scientific analysis, observation, experiment, empirical methods of psychological diagnostics, psychophysiological methods, statistical and mathematical methods were used. The study was conducted from January, 2016 to September, 2020. It involved 327 people: athletes from the DYUSSHOR (children and youth sports school of the Olympic reserve) of the Krasnoyarsk Krai, adult athletes, and the 1st, 2nd and 3rd year students of the schools of Siberian Federal University from educational specializations in basketball, aerobics, and rock climbing. The proposed methods of selection and orientation towards specializations in physical education can be applied in universities regarding the practice of student sport as a reserve of high-performance sport and mass student sport. The proposed methods of orientation of students towards physical education specializations tailored to their individual characteristics can be applied in the system of higher physical education and in physical education classes at universities. When assessing the conformity of the athlete’s data to the chosen sport, which is a mathematical algorithm for assessing the conformity of professionally significant qualities to those required in the chosen sport, the obtained data on the athletes’ conformity ranged from 70% to 93%. These data confirm the previously obtained data on the prevailing tendencies in the severity of the typological characteristics of the nervous system properties in athletes doing different sports, as well as the correspondence of the typological complex of the nervous system of those under the study with the athletes’ morphological and functional characteristics required in elite sports. As a result of the study, the established correspondence of these students to the chosen specializations ranges from 48% (rock climbing, 1st year female students) to 87% (female students, basketball). The following motives can be considered the most significant for the group of students under the study: health preservation, social sphere, and physical perfection. The use of modern methods of orientation and selection in the context of the sportization of physical education will contribute to solving the problems that the staff of the Department of Physical Education face in helping the students to choose the type of physical activity (the student’s orientation towards mass student sport, health-improving physical education), as well as a specific sport
