Investigating changes in prevailing mental states among students with different levels of academic performance

Introduction. The difficulties of the adaptation period increase the level of anxiety and psychological stress in students and negatively affect academic performance of first-year students. Despite the fact that recent studies have identified a wide range of conceptually different correlates of academic success, the problem of mental states of first-year students in the context of assessing their learning outcomes remains insufficiently studied in theoretical and empirical terms. Therefore, the problem of identifying a risk group for academic underachievement and maintaining the student population does not lose its relevance. The purpose of the study is to identify students’ mental states determining levels of academic performance. Materials and Methods. In order to identify the characteristics of students’ mental states, mental states were assessed at psychophysiological, psychological and socio-psychological levels. The authors used the following methods: Lemur-Tessier-Fillion ‘Psychological Stress Scale PSM-25’ adapted by N.E. Vodopyanova (2009), PSM-25 scale, method for determining neuropsychic stability, risk of maladaptation in stress ‘Forecast-2’ (V. Yu. Rybnikov), reactive (situational) and personal anxiety scale (Ch. D. Spielberger, 1973), adapted by Yu.L. Khanin, (1978), L.V. Kulikova’s methods for identifying the dominant and current states, methods for evaluating socio-psychological adaptation by K. Rogers, R. Diamond, (1954), adapted by T. V. Snegireva (1987) and by A. K. Osnitsky. The study involved 56 1st year full-time students of the Faculty of Mathematics, Informatics, Physics and Technology at Omsk State Pedagogical University. Results. The authors identified scales of methods for mental states assessment: ‘tone’, ‘activation-deactivation’, ‘situational anxiety’, ‘psychological stress’, which revealed statistically significant changes in students demonstrating different levels of academic performance. The authors revealed differences in prevailing mental states in students with different academic performance. Conclusions. The mental states of students identified in this study can be used in designing a programme of socio-psychological support for first-year students aimed at identifying the risks of maladjustment and a decrease in academic performance. Limitations. Limitations of the study include a small sample of students of one faculty and one-time use. It is necessary to check the possibility of extending the hypothesis to students of other faculties.

THE STUDY OF THE SELF-ATTITUDE OF DISPLACED PEOPLE IN THE CONDITIONS OF ADAPTATION TO THE NEW SOCIAL ENVIRONMENT

The work focuses on the characteristics of a person's self-attitude in the context of social-psychological displacement problems. This study examines how displacement can lead to changes in a person's characteristics and the specific socio-psychological challenges they face in their new living environment. The research focuses on understanding how self-attitude is expressed during socio-psychological adaptation among displaced individuals. The findings reveal that individuals who experience displacement in a new social environment tend to exhibit low self-confidence, self-management, self-evaluation, self-acceptance, and self-analysis. As a result, they often face internal conflicts and engage in self-criticism. This suggests that during the initial months of displacement, individuals develop a negative self-attitude, with positive aspects of self-attitude diminishing. However, the second stage indicates that positive changes in self-attitude are crucial for the survival and well-being of the individual and their family. Displacement and the challenges of adapting to a new socio-cultural environment are driven by the need for self-reassessment and self-acceptance. Moving from self-criticism and internal conflict towards self-esteem and self-acceptance serves an adaptive function, allowing individuals to better adjust to their new life conditions. Moreover, the study underscores the profound impact of social support networks in facilitating the transition towards a more positive self-attitude among displaced individuals. Strong social ties and community connections are crucial in bolstering self-esteem and fostering a sense of belonging, which are paramount for navigating the challenges of displacement. Recognizing and leveraging these support systems can significantly contribute to displaced individuals' psychological resilience and adaptive capabilities, ultimately enhancing their overall well-being and successful integration into their new environment.

THE HEALTH IMPACT OF TOURISM ON THE PSYCHOPHYSICAL STATE OF ELDERLY INDIVIDUALS

The purpose of our research is to ascertain the impact of tourism activities on the psychophysical state of elderly individuals. Materials and methods. 221 people took part in the transformative experiment aged 60-65, who attend the University of the Third Age (152 women and 69 men). It is worth mentioning that the frequency of classes at the University of the Third Age was 3 classes per week, lasting 40-60 minutes. The program is designed for 6 months and consists of preparatory (adaptation), main (improvement) and supporting periods. Each of the periods was aimed at achieving a set of tasks. To assess the quality of life SF-36 was used. To assess the satisfaction of the participants' lives, the Life Satisfaction Index (LSIA). Physical activity was evaluated using the PWC150 test. The level of success in psychosocial adaptation was assessed using a modified Rogers and Diamond questionnaire. Mind performance was assessed using Bourdon's correction test. The Wilcoxon test was used to analyze the statistical significance of the differences between the data. In each case, the hypothesis was tested, and the p-value was calculated. Conclusions regarding the significance of testing were made at the 0.05 significance level. In the conditions of the University of the Third Age, during the implementation of the concept, positive dynamics of indicators of motor activity, quality and satisfaction with life, mental and physical working capacity, rates of aging, socio-psychological adaptation, cognitive functions, psycho-emotional state were fixed. However, we note significant changes in integral indicators of socio-psychological adaptation at the end of the study, namely, in the indicators of self-perception (women – 68.8 ± 0.7 points; men – 78.8 ± 4.1 points) and emotional comfort (women 63.3 ± 1.7 points ; men 69.2 ± 1.2 points) (p=0.05). As was anticipated, for elderly individuals who continue self-education in their later years, the tourism program had a positive impact on cognitive functioning indicators. Conclusion. Involvement in health tourism has a positive impact on the psychophysical state of elderly individuals. The combination of physical activity, social interaction and the acquisition of new experiences contributes to the improvement of emotional, physical and cognitive health.

The article analyzes the problem of the lack of qualified personnel in the labor market and its impact on the personnel adaptation system. As part of the study, an analysis of the current situation in the labor market, an analysis of the practices of companies in the field of recruitment and selection of personnel, the views of modern business leaders were carried out, and the need for changes in the system of personnel adaptation of Russian organizations was substantiated. The situation of labor shortage that has developed over the past few years has led to changes in the main strategies in the personnel management system, primarily related to the easing of requirements for qualifications, soft skills, age, gender and other characteristics of personnel. This, in turn, required changes in the adaptation system, revision of strategy and the introduction of more complex and modern technologies. From the authors’ point of view, the emphasis from socio-psychological adaptation should be shifted to professional and organizational adaptation, technologies should be refocused on individualizing adaptation programs based on the introduction of digital systems, the use of interactive teaching methods, intensifying the use of the capabilities of self-learning organizations, expanding the scope of adaptation through training of freelancers, free labor on the labor market. Thus, the main results of the situation analysis indicate the need for an integrated approach to adaptation, including changing strategy, using modern technologies and creating conditions for professional growth, taking into account the individual characteristics of personnel.

Професійне вигорання працівників органів та підрозділів Державної служби України з надзвичайних ситуацій

Every day, employees of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine perform complex tasks of eliminating the consequences of rocket attacks, clearing debris, rescuing Ukrainian citizens, and ensuring the protection of the population and territories from emergencies. An important scientific and psychological area is the research of the peculiarities of professional burnout of employees of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine in order to develop vectors of psychological correction and psycho-correction in case of its occurrence.The scientific article presents a structural and functional model of the socio-psychological features of professional burnout of employees of the organs and units of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine.The supporting structures for the design of the structural and functional model were: Rybalka-Shevtsov's four-dimensional personality structure and the structural and functional model of psychological mechanisms of social adaptation of young people with musculoskeletal disabilities by I. Chukhriy and A. Shevtsov.Professional burnout is presented in the structural-functional model in the context of considering socio-psychological adaptation (socio-psychological adaptation, resilience, self-efficacy) and socio-psychological maladjustment (socio-psychological maladjustment, professional burnout).External factors that influence the formation of professional burnout among employees of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine include education (availability of secondary specialized, higher, secondary general education); specialized training (peculiarities of training of employees of organs and units of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine); work experience; marital status; and extreme working conditions.Individual psychological factors are grouped as follows: emotional-affective (emotional comfort/emotional discomfort, situational anxiety, personal anxiety, depression, aggressiveness, hostility); communicative (leadership, sociability, reflectivity); cognitive (cognitive processes, reflectivity); behavioral (dominance, escapism, prominence, dependence/independence, sociability/unsociability); motivational and volitional (internal control/external control, prominence, acceptance of struggle/rejection of struggle).The personality structure itself is presented as follows: age, genetic dimension, individual psychological dimension, and activity dimension.It is important to note that the proposed structural-functional model demonstrates the interconnection of all its structural components, and its ascending core is the structure of the specialist's personality, which is formed in the age, genetic, individual psychological and activity dimensions. Through the individual psychological dimension, we have the opportunity to explore the individual psychological factors that influence the emergence of professional burnout as a component of the process of socio-psychological maladjustment, or the formation of socio-psychological adaptability, resilience and self-efficacy as components of socio-psychological adaptation. The external (social) factors that demonstrate the social conditions for the emergence of professional burnout or can act as factors that prevent its emergence (family, career growth opportunities, etc.) are of great importance in the proposed model.

Features of the Application of the Method of Socio-Psychological Training in the Formation of Students' Stress Resistance

The paper deals with such concepts as «social-psychological training» and «stress resistance»; the features of the application of this method in the formation of students' stress resistance are studied.One of the primary tasks of modern society in working with youth is the formation of a high level of sociopsychological adaptation. Currently, an active search and development of new forms and methods of both individual and group work with students is underway. In the diverse arsenal of methodological tools, a special place is given to socio-psychological training.The purpose of this psychological study was to study the features of the use of socio-psychological training as a means of forming students' stress resistance. During the primary diagnosis, two groups of students (control and experimental) were identified with a low level of stress resistance and a high level of stress.As part of the formative experiment, we developed and implemented a program of psychological support for students. Classes were held in the experimental group once a week for two months. After the formative experiment, the control stage of the study was carried out. At the control stage, the changes in the level of stress and stress tolerance of those who took (experimental group) and those who did not take part (control group) in the program were compared, thus, the effectiveness of the program of psychological support of students developed by us was tested. For re-diagnosis, the same methods were used as in the primary diagnosis at the ascertaining stage of the study.The methodological basis of the work was the theoretical provisions on the development of the group in the process of joint activity (L.G. Pochebut, G.M. Andreeva, E.S. Kuzmin, R.S. Nemov, etc.); ideas about the sociopsychological characteristics of the group (M.I. Bobneva, V.S. Ageev, P.K. Anokhin, etc.); conceptual foundations of personality development in the course of a specially organized psychological impact (A. Bandura, S.I. Makshanov, K. Levin, etc.); understanding and implementation of the methodology and methodology of socio-psychological training (L.A. Petrovskaya, Yu.N. Emelyanov, S.I. Makshanov).The research methods were theoretical analysis of scientific research; organizational methods; empirical methods: observation, psychodiagnostic methods, methods of statistical data processing.Comparative analysis of changes in the experimental and control groups (increase in stress resistance, reduction of stress and tension levels according to the corresponding coping strategies) allowed us to draw conclusions about the potential of applying the method of socio-psychological training in the formation of students' stress resistance.

Социально-психологическая адаптация индийских студентов в российском вузе

The introduction notes the increase of educational migration and the relevance of creating the necessary conditions for the successful socio-psychological adaptation of international students in Russia. The theoretical analysis is devoted to identifying modern problems of adaptation of international students in universities in different countries, including Russia. Among the various forms of work with international students, group culturally-sensitive counseling can help actualize the individual’s adaptive resources through immersion in the socio-cultural environment of the country of educational migration. Empirical analysis is based on a description of the results of a comparative study of the dynamics of personal characteristics of international students before and after group culturally-sensitive counseling. The advisory sessions involved 30 Indian first-year students (Penza State University). The analysis of the personal characteristics was carried out by means of the 3 methods: The Freiburg Personality Questionnaire, The Image-associative test “The image of the native country – the image of foreign countries” (S. V. Frolova), “The adaptation of a person to a new sociocultural environment” (L. V. Yankovsky). Reliably significant positive changes in the personality states of the respondents (decrease in the level of neuroticism, spontaneous aggressiveness, depression) were revealed. Conclusion. The analysis shows the effectiveness of group culturally-sensitive counseling in the socio-psychological adaptation of international students, which contributes to their active entry into the new socio-cultural environment of the country of educational migration. There has been an increase in integration among respondents with both Russian and Indian culture.

FACTORS OF SOCIO-PSYCHOLOGICAL ADAPTATION AND ANXIETY OF REFUGEES DURING THE WAR

The article provides a theoretical analysis of the problem of anxiety, the tendency of a person to experience anxiety, which is connected with the premonition of real or imagined danger. The purpose of the article is to review and analyse the factors of socio-psychological adaptation and anxiety of refugees in terms of war, as well as psychological techniques to develop in them a new attitude to stress reactions as a resource that can strengthen immunity to traumatization. The study used the methods of terminological, substantive and statistical analysis in determining the content and essence of anxiety as a state and process of experiencing, as well as modelling and projecting methods to find factors of social and psychological adaptation and reducing the level of anxiety of refugees during the war. It has been emphasized that anxiety is an individual psychological feature reflecting an increased tendency to feel alarm in various life situations, in particular those that do not objectively foresee this. Common and distinctive features between anxiety and alarm have been identified. In the structure of anxiety, cognitive, emotional and operational components have been found and described, among which the dominant position is occupied by an emotional response to an unfavourable life situation. It has been shown that anxiety is divided into two main categories: covert and overt. It has been pointed out that there is a connection between the state of alarm and the strength of the individual’s nervous system. Assumptions are expressed regarding the inverse correlation of the strength and sensitivity of the subject’s nervous system. The analysis of scientific research has shown that anxiety enables an individual to respond to a threatening situation adaptively. Anxiety also changes the nature of the behaviour, leads to increased behavioural activity, encourages more intense and purposeful efforts, and thereby performs an adaptive function. It has been emphasized that if the anxiety is intense and long-lasting, it prevents the formation of adaptive behaviour and leads to violations of behavioural integration, and sometimes to clinically expressed disorders of the psyche and behaviour. Peculiarities of the person’s psychological states in terms of war events have been analysed. It is argued that the most important self-preservation strategy is to change the subject’s attitude to war traumatization. A person should know that it is not at all necessary to become a victim of life’s trials, that not every stress causes post-traumatic disorders, and that stress energy can be transformed and used effectively. It has been established that a new attitude to stress reactions as a resource strengthens immunity to trauma and promotes post-traumatic growth. It has been noted that adaptation and the ability to adapt is a prerequisite for the future active and productive activity of an individual in any sphere of life. When a person feels free and comfortable (adapted), they perform both their social and professional roles well, which is very important in the process of social interaction both during education and in later life. Adaptation is divided into external and internal, and such types of adaptation are distinguished as pedagogical, professional, social, biological, and psychological ones. Factors have been clarified, and external and internal criteria of psychological and pedagogical adaptation have been distinguished. At the same time, it has been concluded that socio-psychological adaptation to the conditions of a military conflict occurs as an adaptation to a socially tense, constantly changing environment. Therefore, it is important to shift the emphasis from the state of adaptation to the properties of adaptability of the individual and the community, which are associated with such constructs as resilience, psychological resilience, and group efficiency.

MODERN ASPECTS OF BRAIN FUNCTIONAL INTERHEMISPHERIC ASYMMETRY STUDY

One of the basic principles of the functioning of the hemispheres of the brain is asymmetry. The unevenness of the left and right hemispheres of the human brain in combination with the phenomenon of dominance of one of them affects the features of the construction and perception of the picture of the world, the nature of reaction and behavior. The problems of functional insufficiency of interhemispheric interactions are highlighted, a comparative analysis of indicators of socio-psychological adaptation of persons with a predominance of one of the hemispheres, as well as features of lateralization of a healthy brain and pathology is presented. An attempt has been made to consider and study modern aspects of interhemispheric asymmetry, as well as to present issues of functional insufficiency of interhemispheric interactions. The results of studies of stationary and dynamic properties of the functional specialization of the hemispheres considered in the article showed that the issue of the organization of functional hemispheric asymmetry, starting with classical and modern ideas, is of great interest to various specialists.

Особенности социально-психологической адаптации подростков с задержкой психического развития

To date, the problem of studying the emotional-volitional sphere and behavior of adolescents with mental re-tardation remains relevant and is not only fundamental, but more applied in the field of correctional psychology and pedagogy. The aim of the work is to study the features of the emotional-volitional sphere as a factor of so-cio-psychological adaptation of adolescents with mental retardation in order to further develop recommenda-tions for providing them with psychological and pedagogical assistance on the basis of the identified patterns. As a result, it was ascertained that adolescents with mental retardation are characterized by a higher level of socio-psychological adaptation compared to adolescents with a normal type of mental development. At the same time, the high level of adaptation of adolescents with mental retardation is determined by such features of the emotional and personal sphere as external locus of control, a low degree of neuropsychic stability and low personal anxiety. In adolescents with a normal type of mental development, with a high level of socio-psychological adaptation, there is an internal locus of control, high indicators of the level of neuropsychic stabil-ity, as well as low personal anxiety.

Low, medium and high levels of formation of social and psychological adaptation of listeners are revealed.
 The effectiveness of students' educational and service activities depends on the individual psychological characteristics of the individual and the integrated work of the Institute's employees to provide comfortable conditions for students to assimilate knowledge, develop skills and abilities to effectively resolve operational and service tasks.

Resilient, social and psychological adaptation of students to the educational environment of the university

Introduction. Social tension in society has led to an increase in the number of students with mental health disorders. An urgent need to create psychological assistance services in the system of higher education has arisen. However, the directions and priorities of its functioning remain unclear. The psychological service in the system of higher education is actively developing. Psychological science should look for conditions for successful psychological support of the learning and development of students, their social and psychological adaptation. Materials and methods. 80 girls and 75 first-year boys studying in pedagogical specialties were included in the sample were included in the sample. The empirical study took place in March after 6 months of adaptation. Research methods: The methodology "Motivation for learning at a university" was proposed by T. I. Ilyina, the Method for diagnosing sociopsychological adaptation of Rogers - Diamond (adaptation by A. K. Osnitsky, 2004), the Method "Adaptation of students at a university" (T. D. Dubovitskaya, 2010), Questionnaire "The resilient of an adult" (A. V. Makhnach, 2013). Research results. Qualitative and quantitative analysis helped to distribute students into three groups with different levels of adaptation to the educational environment of the university. So, 20% of students are adapted at a high level; 65.16% - at the average level; 14.84% - at a low level. Every fourth student is resilient (25.81%). They have the potential to deal with difficult life situations, as well as for self-development and personal growth. Every sixth (18.06%) has low hardiness, and slightly more than half (56.13%) has moderate hardiness. A correlation study showed that the higher the resilience of students, the higher their adaptability, acceptance of themselves and others, emotional comfort, internality, motivation "acquisition of knowledge" (r = .363; p < 0.05; r = .358; p < 0 .05; r = .670; p < 0.01; r = .630; p < 0.01; r = .521; p < 0.01; r = .683; p < 0.01). Conclusion. The resilient of students is associated with the successful adaptation of students. Viable students are highly satisfied with the social position in the student group, the effectiveness of their educational activities; emotional comfort; acceptance of self and others; infernality and activity; the motive of obtaining knowledge. Purposeful psychological work to improve the resilient of students will contribute to their successful social and psychological adaptation

Psychological adaptation of a person experiencing loneliness to the conditions of studying at a university

The experience of loneliness is one of the most important problems of society, which has existed for many years. The feeling of loneliness experienced by students of pedagogical training fields can negatively affect the success of mastering educational material, adaptation to a new social status, as well as negatively affect the development of the teaching profession image. It is most relevant to investigate the problem of experiencing loneliness in people who, by the nature of their professional activity, are involved in constant interaction with other members of society. The aim of our research is to study the psychological characteristics of the adaptation of a person experiencing loneliness to the study conditions at a university. It is one of the urgent problems caused by the influence of the success or failure of the adaptation process on the development of students attitudes to study, as well as to future professional pedagogical activity. The study was conducted on the basis of the Southern Federal University. The total number of respondents who took part in the study was 290 first-year students of pedagogical specialties of full-time education. The following methods were used in the study: "Methodology for diagnosing socio-psychological adaptation" by K. Rogers and R. Diamond, "Diagnosis of experiencing loneliness" by E.E. Rogovoy, methods of mathematical data processing Correlation criterion r-Spearman. As a result of the study, data were obtained indicating that there is a statistically proven relationship between the loneliness experienced by a person and the characteristics of adaptation to the study conditions at a university. The results of the study will make it possible to determine the features of individual work with students of pedagogical areas with different levels of loneliness and to develop an individual program for the adaptation of students, depending on the loneliness actually experienced by the individual, especially in the 1st year of study.

Problems and Prospects of the Online Model for Exporting Russian Education in the Context of Digital Inequality

Russia has historically been a favored destination for international students, a trend continuing through 2020–2022 despite pandemic challenges, quarantine measures, remote learning adaptations, and evolving geopolitical dynamics. The pandemic prompted significant digital transformations in universities, revealing varying digital readiness among Russian institutions for the abrupt shift to online education. This led to the emergence of a novel “digital didactics” methodology. Russian universities adopted digitalization not only for education but also for supporting digital students’ sociopsychological adaptation and devising recruitment strategies via social networks. In these circumstances, digital inequality emerged as a critical concern. This issue is not only evident at a global level but also across various stages of foreign students’ education, spanning from virtual admissions to final certification. This study analyzes the global experiences and recommendations for crafting an optimal model for online educational engagement with foreign students and categorizes Russian universities based on their digital readiness for education export and identifies challenges in engaging foreign students and attracting applicants.

Psychological aspect of pain syndrome in endometriosis

Relevance. Endometriosis is a multifactorial gynecological disease characterized by a benign proliferation of endometrial cells outside the uterine cavity. At the present stage of the study of endometriosis, the etiology and pathogenesis of its development have not been studied enough. More and more attention is paid to the emotional and personal characteristics of patients, and the disease itself is gradually moving into the category of psychosomatic disorders.The objective was to identify the features of the perception of pain syndrome, as well as emotional, personal characteristics and the level of adaptation of women with endometriosis.Methods and materials. The study involved 76 respondents: 46 women with endometriosis and 30 women without gynecological pathology (conditionally). We used psychodiagnostic questionnaire methods aimed at studying the perception of pain syndrome, emotional sphere, level of adaptation, personal characteristics and gender identity.Results. The personal profile of women with endometriosis is dominated by such traits as: anxiety, depression, difficulties in controlling life events, a decrease in the level of socio-psychological adaptation and satisfaction with the quality of life, a tendency to escape from reality in comparison with the personal profile of conditionally healthy women. It has been established that a higher assessment of the severity of pain syndrome in endometriosis is interconnected with such types of interpersonal interaction as «dependent-obedient» and «cooperating-conventional».Conclusions. The treatment and rehabilitation of patients with endometriosis requires taking into account their psychological characteristics, as well as a multidisciplinary approach involving specialists of various profiles, including psychologists/ psychotherapists.
