Distinct connectivity patterns between perception and attention-related brain networks characterize dyslexia: machine learning applied to resting-state fMRI

Diagnosis of dyslexia often occurs in late schooling years, leading to academic and psychological challenges. Furthermore, diagnosis is time-consuming, costly, and reliant on arbitrary cutoffs. On the other hand, automated algorithms hold great potential in medical and psychological diagnostics. The aim of the present study was to develop a machine learning tool for the detection of dyslexia in children based on the intrinsic connectivity patterns of different brain networks underlying perception and attention. Here, 117 children (8-12 years old; 58 females; 52 typical readers; TR and 65 children with dyslexia) completed cognitive and reading assessments and underwent 10 minutes of resting-state fMRI. Functional connectivity coefficients between 264 brain regions were used as features for machine learning. Different supervised algorithms were employed for classification of children with and without dyslexia. A classifier trained on dorsal attention network features exhibited the highest performance (accuracy .79, sensitivity .92, specificity .64). Auditory, visual, and fronto-parietal network-based classification showed intermediate accuracy levels (70-75%). These results highlight significant neurobiological differences in brain networks associated with visual attention between TR and children with dyslexia. Distinct neural integration patterns can differentiate dyslexia from typical development, which may be utilized in the future as a biomarker for the presence and/or severity of dyslexia.

Prevention of self-harm and suicide among persons serving sentences in minimum security correctional institutions of the penal enforcement system of the Republic of Kazakhstan

BACKGROUND: The article considers the possibilities of preventing self-harm and suicide among inmates in minimum security institutions of the penal and correctional system of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Statistics of the annual cases of self-harm and suicidal acts confirm the need to prevent them using psychological, technical, and legislative tools. AIM: To determine the possibilities of preventing self-harm and suicidal acts among persons serving sentences in minimum security correctional institutions of the penal and correctional system of the Republic of Kazakhstan. MATERIALS AND METHODS: An intellect map was used to visualize concepts. The following were used as tools for psychological diagnostics: questionnaires to establish the presence or absence of mental disorders and identify signs of potential suicide risk; sketch of a potential client’s persona to see the behavior, emotional state, daily activities, demographic characteristics, and needs and goals of the client; and thematic plan schedule of individual counseling meetings. RESULTS: Autoaggression was most often singled out as the most relevant destructive form of behavior in correctional institutions of the penal system.

PSYCHOLOGICAL DIAGNOSTICS AND PSYCHOLOGICAL AND PEDAGOGICAL SUPPORT FOR GIFTED CHILDREN IN MUSIC LEARNING

Purpose. The purpose of this study was to understand how music teachers perceive and diagnose gifted children in teaching music, what are the psychological and pedagogical features of teaching music in groups of children with different creative potential, and what psychological and pedagogical support is needed for students. To promote creativity in the music classroom, teachers need to acquire knowledge about creativity as a concept in general and in the music field in order to create situations in which students can build creative abilities and gradually develop their creativity. Creative potential in the process of teaching music should be formed taking into account children’s psychological and pedagogical characteristics in the group at different levels of its formation. Psychological diagnostics involves the selection of tools and technologies that activate the formation and development of emotional intelligence in groups of children with different creative potential in the process of teaching music. Forming the level of students’ giftedness is proposed as a new dimension of creative pedagogical knowledge for teaching music. And psychological and pedagogical support for students is an important element in the development of emotional intelligence in groups of children with different creative potential in the process of teaching music. Methodology. The basis of the research is formed by subject-activity and humanistic approaches with the implementation of psychodiagnostic and theoretical methods (analysis, comparison, generalization), methods of structural data analysis. Results. The results of the study make it possible to diagnose the level of emotional intelligence in groups of children with different creative potential in the process of teaching music, and teachers’ recommendations allow to improve the training program, taking into account psychological and pedagogical support to increase the effectiveness of this process. Practical implications. The results of the study can be applied in the field of general and professional education for diagnosing children with different creative potential, the creation and development of emotional intelligence, psychological and pedagogical support and psychological counseling.

Theoretical approaches to improving the terminological apparatus of psychodiagnostic research in the system of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine

The article provides a comprehensive analysis of the basic concepts and terms used in the field of psychological diagnostics. The scientific approaches to the formation of terms and conceptual apparatus by which this branch of psychological science describes its subject of study are considered. It is emphasised that the development of science is determined primarily by the formation of terminology, that is, its language as a system of general and specific concepts that are reflected in certain terms and signs. It is stated that the language of psychodiagnostics is a complex, multilevel, integral system, the elements of which are categories, concepts, terms, symbols. It is shown that in the course of the development of psychology, the conceptual apparatus is continuously being improved, definitions are being clarified, and the terminological vocabulary is being enriched. The current state of development of psychodiagnostics, the formation of promising theories of assessment and measurement of individual characteristics have necessitated the clarification of its terminological apparatus, a significant number of concepts, definitions, which are often contradictory, through the use of various approaches and terminological elements. It is emphasised that the conceptual and terminological apparatus of psychodiagnostics should be developed on the basis of modern realities, abandoning outdated approaches to the definition of certain concepts, and that work towards clarifying and unifying terms requires special care and validity. With a view to improving the terminology, the author provides clarifications of some common definitions. Thus, it is proposed to distinguish between the concepts of “qualities” and “traits”, since “quality” corresponds to the Kettellian term “superficial” or “primary” trait and the Allportian term “secondary” or “secondary” disposition, and the concept of “trait” is more generalised, it summarises the existence of a significant number of qualities. It is proposed to understand individual (individual psychological) properties as generalised characteristics of temperament, character, abilities, orientation, i.e. stable mental phenomena which influence human activity, characterise a personality from the psychological and social aspects and are implemented in society. In addition, it is proposed to clearly distinguish between the concepts of “qualities”, “traits”, “features”, to introduce the terms “individual and personal properties and traits”, and to differentiate psychodiagnostic tools for the study of constitutional, individual and personal traits.

FEATURES OF COPING STRATEGIES IN CONDITIONS OF UNCERTAINTY OF WARTIME

Relevance. The purpose of this article is to empirically investigate the discrepancies in the selection of coping strategies among groups of people during war under various conditions of uncertainty. Methodology. The sample consists of 186 residents of Ukrainian cities who live under various conditions of uncertainty. Methods: author’s questionnaire, methods: «Test for psychological diagnostics of coping mechanisms (E. Heim)», «The Intolerance of Uncertainty Scale (IUS-12) (N. Carleton, adaptation by H. Gromova)»; mathematical methods for processing empirical data using the IBM SPSS Statistics 26 package. Results. Respondent groups, based on their location relative to the front line, show statistically significant discrepancies in cognitive and behavioral coping strategies. The empirical study’s analysis showed that individuals living in the front and near-front zones often compare their problems with others and downplay their difficulties more frequently (41,94%) than those living further from the front line (21.94%). Furthermore, individuals closer to the front line show a higher tendency to employ the adaptive coping strategy «altruism» (19.35%), that is, they offer help to others in overcoming difficulties more often than those living further from the front line (6.45%). Both groups predominantly employ relatively adaptive coping strategies. However, a divergence in problem-solving approaches exists: individuals in the front and near-front zones typically avoid problem-solving by engaging in a favorite activity, whereas the other group tends to evade problem-solving by resorting to alcohol, medicines, sedatives, or indulging in tasty food. The study did not identify statistically significant differences between groups regarding intolerance to uncertainty.

Psychological preservation of volunteers during the war: An empirical analysis

The article presents the results of an empirical study of the psychological self-preservation of volunteers with varying lengths of volunteer experience. The main structural components of psychological self preservation, the level of subjective stress, and the psychological safety of the individual are identified. The presence of meaning in life and personal characteristics such as extraversion, friendliness, conscientiousness, and openness to new experiences were examined. The use of basic coping strategies in stressful situations was analysed. In order to study the psychological self-preservation of the personality of volunteers through structural components, including cognitive, emotional, behavioural, and social, the following psychodiagnostic methods were used: Ukrainian adaptation of the short five-factor personality questionnaire (TIPI-UKR); “Express diagnostics of the psychological safety of the individual”; Questionnaire of the Perceived Stress Scale PSS-10; The Meaning of Life Questionnaire MLQ 2006, and the method of psychological diagnostics of coping mechanisms (E. Heim). Psychological self-preservation implies the ability of a person to effectively adapt to negative events and the ability to think positively and rationally assess the situation. This implies the ability to manage emotions, create a positive social environment, and have the resources to restore mental and physical health after difficult life events. It was found that in the subjects, with an increase in the duration of volunteer work, the level of subjective stress increases and the level of feeling of psychological safety decreases, which also indicates that volunteer work is a complex multifaceted process and requires resources and energy. However, with regard to the presence of meaning in life, it can be seen that with increasing experience of volunteering, there is a higher level of presence and search for meaning in life. It can be assumed that volunteer work and helping others gives a sense of self realisation, significance, and personal importance. The search for meaning in life is relevant for all the subjects studied and reflects the current situation of self-realisation both professional and personal life and serves as a structural element of the psychological self-preservation framework, giving meaning and awareness to a person's activities. Further study of the structural components of psychological self-preservation requires the development and implementation of psychological training on the development of resistance to stressful situations, taking into account the presented results of empirical research

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.

The article reveals the problems that rest on the choice of profession of school graduates, the transi-tion of young people from study to work, the difficulty with professional orientation, and, as a result, high unemployment in the labor market. The listed problems cover almost many countries of the world. Among the reasons for such a negative growth, the authors of the publication explain, first of all, changes in the functioning of the educational system, which can eventually lead to socio-economic risks and social inequality. The other side of the above-mentioned problem noted that the existing educational practice in many ways does not provide the order of the state and society for the formation of a graduate of urban and rural schools as a subject of socio-professional self-determination. The reasons rest on the following factors:– a low level of career guidance interaction between educational organizations of different levels, which generates the substitution of practice-oriented forms of professional orientation with psychologi-cal diagnostics and counseling;– the use of outdated inefficient approaches without taking into account modern information tech-nologies and more.The purpose of the presented research is to identify, in the regional context, the transformation of professional preferences of high school students in urban and rural schools as a strategy for future em-ployment.As a result of the survey conducted by the authors among school graduates, conclusions and pro-posals were formulated to optimize preparatory and organizational work among high school students to improve the methodology of career guidance activities. These proposals formed the basis for the developed sociological survey program and documents for school administrations in order to conduct annual monitoring to identify students’ professional preferences, taking into account new trends in the employment market.

ТЕОРЕТИЧЕСКИЕ ПРОБЛЕМЫ ИСТОРИИ КЛИНИЧЕСКОЙ (МЕДИЦИНСКОЙ) ПСИХОЛОГИИ

The article substantiates insufficient knowledge of the history of the formation and development of clinical (medical) psychology, demonstrates the small volume and content scarcity of relevant foreign and domestic historiography, singles out a number of unresolved theoretical problems. The purpose of the study was to determine the main theoretical problems of the history of clinical (medical) psychology, the research tasks were to identify problems in this area of knowledge, analyze them and find possible solutions. As research methods, a comparative historical, bibliographic, historical event method and a method for developing periodization of the historical process were used. Such theoretical problems of the history of clinical (medical) psychology as problems of periodization, ‘localization’ and differentiation of the history of medical psychology and the history of psychiatry as well as the main ways to solve them were identified. As a solution to the problem of periodization of the history of clinical psychology, three grounds have been proposed. The history of clinical psychology can be implemented as a history of changes in ideas about the mental norm, pathology and treatment; as a history of the evolution of medical and psychological diagnostics; as an institutional history. The problem of ‘localization’ the history of clinical psychology can be solved by writing ‘local’ (‘national’) stories. The problem of differentiating the history of clinical psychology and psychiatry, apparently, cannot be solved completely, but a partial solution can be found by relying on three criteria: differentiation in the line of ideas about norm/pathology and treatment, in the line of psychodiagnosis methods and in the institutional line.

Разработка информационной системы для психологической диагностики

<p>The article deals with the information system, which is a prototype of an adaptive simulator created on the basis of the realization of Markov processes for psychological diagnostics, adapting the difficulty and complexity of tasks in accordance with the diagnostic assessment in real time. The description of the system for adaptive diagnostics of user readiness level based on Markov models is presented. The system allows estimating the user's readiness level by giving him/her tasks of different difficulty and complexity according to the Markov process. An algorithm for creating tasks with a high order of detailing the complexity gradient, on the example of the subject area of professional counseling, for the purpose of diagnosing abilities is formed. In case of incorrect answers or exceeding time limits, the user falls into a "trap" where he/she receives simpler tasks with hints. Examples illustrating the application of the information system are given, as well as the results of approbation.</p>

Research on the Attitude of Youth Audiences Towards Bloggers and Content on Social Media

Introduction. The trends observed in the Internet environment today give reason to consider social media as one of the most important communicative spaces of socialization, formation of personal and social identity of young people. The high interest in bloggers and the media content replicated by them actualizes the task of studying the psychological and socio-cultural factors that cause young people to assign the status of significant others to the subjects of the blogosphere, who subsequently act as personified agents of socialization and objects of identification for them.Scientific purpose. To identify individual-psychological features of students with different attitudes towards bloggers.Materials and Methods. In the process of research we used the method of questionnaire survey, method of psychological diagnostics (16-factor personality questionnaire of R. Kettell, questionnaire of attentiveness and awareness of K. Brown and R. Rayyan in adaptation of A. M. Golubev, method of semantic differential of Ch. M. Golubev, Ch. Osgood's method of semantic differential, A. T. Jersild's questionnaire "Mental states of personality", methods of mathematical statistics (descriptive statistics, Mann-Whitney U-criterion, Spearman's rank correlation coefficient).Results. The empirical study revealed positive and negative relationships between students' personality traits, their attitudes towards bloggers and perceptions of the influence of bloggers and their content on mood, attitudes towards others and behavior. Differences were also found in the individual-psychological characteristics and mental states of young people, depending on their perceived influence of bloggers. Thus, those who are influenced by bloggers have more pronounced conflicting perceptions of themselves, lack of meaning in life, and lack of freedom of choice. This group has higher rates of anxiety and conformity. Discussion. The results obtained can be applied to the development of media literacy in students, as well as in psychotherapeutic practice to solve the problem of media addiction.

Conative gamification model for psychological diagnostics and identification of risk zones of deviant behavior in educational institutions

Introduction. In the modern world, new methods of teaching and upbringing in the educational process are being created, new technologies are associated with the creation of digital methods of modeling the environment: interactive tools. Simulation-based learning methods are more common, which is a new tool that can potentially replace and enhance the real experience in a fully interactive way. The central trend in the educational institution is the transition to new methods that are integrated into the digital environment. The purpose of the article is to create a model of gamification of psychological diagnostics and identification of risk zones of deviant behavior in educational institutions. Methods. Within the framework of the strategic academic leadership program «Priority 2030», we conducted studies of deviant behavior of schoolchildren (n=85) and students (n=125). The following methods are used: diagnostics of the level of empathic abilities of V. V. Boyko; methodology of T. Adorno, E. FrenkelBrunswick, D. Levinson, R. Sanford «Scale of fascism»; methodology for identifying the «bullying structure» of E. G. Norkina. Methods of mathematical statistics: factor analysis by the method of principal components, regression analysis. Research results. Six components that make up the conative model of identifying risk zones of deviant behavior are identified: «Self-destruction», «Tendency to violate norms», «Susceptibility to right-wing extremism», «Cognitive distortion», «External aggression», «Pathological personality». A regression equation has been compiled, which gives the probability of prediction, where 94% accuracy of prediction, thereby determining that the scale of fascism is determined by two variables: authoritarian aggression and authoritarian submission. Other empirical facts have also been established to explain the model based on cognitive empathy. The management of the Penetrating ability in empathy can change the structure of bullying, reduce the number of aggressor's assistants, because it is positively interrelated with the role of defenders of victims (r=0.19; p<0.05). Conclusion. The components that reflect the diagnostic potential of the gamification model for identifying risk zones in the educational institution of students are fixed. Based on the selected components, you can create a program using the regulatory framework.
