Психолингвистические исследования фрагментов картины мира китайцев

At present, fragments of the Chinese worldview are studied on the basis of theoretical and practical research developed by the Moscow Psycholinguistic School. In Russian and Chinese psycholinguistics, sufficient material has been accumulated to determine the main advantages of the free associative experiment. The problems of identifying stimulus words and interpreting reactions reflecting the Chinese picture of the world are also obvious. The free associative experiment allows us to determine the deep mental connections of the phonetic and graphic appearance of the Chinese word, represented by graphemes different from those of the Russian language, the latter having their own lexical and additional “graphic” meaning. The difficulties in learning languages of different typological systems are associated with the problems of compiling a vocabulary of stimulus words and the possibility of a multivalued interpretation of Chinese recipients’ reactions, reflecting the images of the Chinese consciousness. For this reason, it is unacceptable to transfer the “reification” of fragments of the Russian worldview to the fragments of the Chinese worldview. When compiling a vocabulary of stimulus words, one should take into account the structural and grammatical features of the Chinese word, the structure of Chinese characters and their origin, the frequency in the speech of native speakers, etc. To interpret the reactions of a free associative experiment, in addition to bilingual dictionaries, it is advisable to use various dictionaries of the Chinese language, including etymological ones. Based on the established tradition of analyzing the results of associative experiments, the author typologizes the reactions of Chinese speakers, which allows to establish the dynamics of the Chinese worldview.

Co-occurrence Patterns of Character Strengths and Measured Core Virtues in German-Speaking Adults.

The VIA Classification on character strengths and virtues suggests 24 character strengths clustered into six core virtues (wisdom and knowledge, courage, humanity, justice, temperance, and transcendence). Three recent studies employed different methods for testing the assignment of character strengths to virtues (e.g., expert and layperson ratings), and generally supported the VIA classification. However, the co-occurrence of character strengths and virtues within individuals has not been examined yet. Another untested assumption is that an individual’s composition of character strengths is related to being considered of “good character.” Thus, the present study addresses three research questions: (1) How do character strengths and measured virtues co-occur within individuals? (2.1) How does the number of character strengths an individual possesses within a virtue cluster relate to their level of the respective virtue? (2.2) How does the composition of an individual’s character strengths relate to being considered of “good character”? We combined data from different studies to obtain a sample of N = 1,241 participants (n = 897 self-raters, n = 344 informant-raters, 70.1% female) aged 18 to 92 years (M = 30.64). All participants completed assessments of character strengths and virtues. Regarding (1), we found a high convergence of the correlations between strengths and virtues and the VIA Classification: 22 out of 24 character strengths correlated with the assigned virtue (exceptions were hope, which correlated highest with courage, and humor, which correlated highest with humanity). Also, 15 character strengths showed the numerically highest correlation with their assigned virtue. Regarding (2.1), overall, we found a linear trend between the number of strengths within one cluster and the virtue level. Regarding (2.2), we found higher levels of reported “good character” in those who possessed either (a) at least one character strength in each virtue cluster or (b) all character strengths in at least one virtue compared to those who did not. The present results contribute to the discussion regarding the structure of character: individuals’ character strengths relate to differences in virtues, across different measures and data sources. Relationships were mostly as expected, and deviations were consistent with results obtained using other approaches.

ПОЭТИКА ДВОЙНИЧЕСТВА В ТЕТРАЛОГИИ Ф. АБРАМОВА «БРАТЬЯ И СЕСТРЫ»

The work is devoted to the poetics of duality in F. Abramov’s tetralogy Brothers and Sisters. The analysis of the duality models allows to imagine historical, social, political reality, the minimal structure of the human community: one and the other. At the center of the study are the key characters of the tetralogy, namely, Mikhail Pryaslin and Yegorshi Stavrov, who embody the eschatological Russian model of duality. The analysis of these characters is carried out against the background of the character structure as a whole. Within a Christian context, the Mikhail — Yegorsha twin pair is included in a broad semantic field. Yegorsha compares his sworn brother with Christ. According to the legend, the latter’s twin was apostle Thomas, whose name coincidentally means ‘a twin.’ If Mikhail is firmly associated with Christ, then Egorsha can be semantically identified with both Judas and Thomas (in all connotations). The destruction of the “country model,” the Russian schism also actualizes another version of duality: George the Victory-bearer and Yegoriy the troublebearer, which is already reflected at the level of character naming. The struggle of the “twin” heroes over a woman, ancestral land and the house, which is interpreted as a confrontation between Christ and the Antichrist, St. George and the “bad Yegorka” (changeling), is also implemented as the “Russian” version — Foma and Erema, in which the doubles lose to the circumstances. Peasant Russia is in captivity of civilization, and no one is able to protect it: the warriors die, the saints abandon the icons. This leads to the general sense of anxiety, of a life “between homes,” when the “prodigal son,” who has nowhere to go back to, becomes the modern hero.

Recognizing Chinese Characters in Peripheral Vision: Different Levels of Processing of Character.

It hasn't been clear how holistic and analytic processing contribute to character recognition yet. The current study focused on two issues: (1) whether configural processing is sufficient to support the performance of identifying characters in absence of analytic processing; (2) whether configural processing involves multiple levels of character recognition. We examined the inversion effect in different levels of character processing from foveal to peripheral vision. Participants were asked to identify the stimulus from nine alternatives after a stimulus (character, radical, and stroke) is presented either in upright or inverted orientation. The results showed that the identification of characters and radicals had robust peripheral inversion effects at the locations of 6.2° and 12.2°, but the identification accuracies of inverted stimulus (parts only) remained above chance. These findings suggested that the configural processing of characters could not be isolated from analytical processing in the periphery in the current study. Furthermore, the greater inversion effect shown for characters than radicals at 6.2° might indicate that holistic processing of characters involves two levels of configurations: character structure and radical processing. The peripheral inversion effect for stroke was also observed and the role of stroke-based analytic in character recognition was discussed.

儿旁의 几旁과의 편방 혼동 현상과 관련 한자의 자형 표준화에 대한 提言

In Kaishu style, “人 rén” is transformed to “儿 rén” when it is located below another character. This varied form “儿 rén” is often written as “几 jī” when it is not attached to the part right above it. For this reason, the Chinese characters containing “儿 rén” that is not in contact with the upper part, such as “虎 hǔ”, “微 wēi”, “禿 tū”, “宂 rǒng”, “亮 liàng” and “兜 dōu”, often have a variant form in which “儿 rén” is transformed to “几 jī”.<BR> There are not a few inconsistencies of the forms of components in Chinese character fonts currently used in Korea; more seriously, even the same character has slightly different forms depending on the font. These inconsistencies have been an obstacle that hinders Chinese character education. The same problem is found in the characters that contain “儿 rén”. Therefore, this paper closely examined how neighboring countries in the Chinese character cultural sphere handled this issue for the establishment of standard Chinese character forms. In addition, this paper presents two suggestions that can serve as a reference in dealing with this issue in the process of revising domestic Chinese fonts based on the examples of other East Asian countries. First, based on Shuowenjiezi, for the characters containing “人 rén” in Xiaozhuan style, the forms with “儿 rén” are regarded as a standard in Kaishu style as well. Second, in consideration of the findings of Chinese grammatological studies and the tradition of Kaishu style in actual calligraphic practice, the forms with “几 jī” are regarded as a standard except for “宂 rǒng”, “呪 zhòu” and other characters that have been clearly known to include “儿 rén” for etymological reasons.<BR> The most important point is, whichever of the two is adopted, to improve the systemicity and regularity in the structure of Chinese characters by unifying the different component forms to a fullest extent. As the current issue, that the forms of the same component change slightly depending on the character or the forms of characters vary depending on the font, has a very negative effect on Chinese character education, an improvement is urgently needed.

Зависимость между грамматическим строем языка и стратегиями языкового мышления

The article contains a discussion of how the grammatical structure of a language determines sentence structure and affects verbal thinking strategy. The stages of languages’ historic development (incorporative, ergative, nominative) and the relationship between sentence structure and native speakers’ thinking are characterized. The common case of the grammatical subject of a sentence does mean that Anglo-Saxons regard themselves as their own fortune’s active makers and masters. The common case equally expresses success and failure, activity and passivity, self-will and conformity. Nowadays, languages of all the three types coexist on the Globe. The languages of the first two types are used not only by primitive peoples but also by civilized nations. But this does not mean that civilized speakers think archaically. Methods and conclusions. Contrastive analysis of language material (English personal and Russian impersonal morphosyntactic constructions) enables the author to conclude: there is no direct correlation between national character and sentence structure. The connection between thinking and grammar does not consist in this; it consists in the choice of thinking strategies based on the grammatical potential of the language under discussion.

THE SPIRITUALLY DETERMINATION OF HARMONISATION OF A CHARACTER OF PERSONALITY IN YOUTH AGE

The article is devoted to the results of empirical research of the influence the spiritual determinants to the process of harmonization a character of the personality in youth age. The author theoretically analyzed the concept of «character of personality» in philosophical, spiritual-religious and scientific-psychological approaches. The were singled out the components of the character structure (spiritual and moral, moral and community, intellectual and creative, emotional, willed, psychosomatic) and their construction (altruism - selfishness, honesty - hypocrisy, responsibility - externalism, creativity - rigidity, kindness - aggressiveness, empathy - individualism, organization - impulsiveness, self-control - weakness, optimism - pessimism, confidence - anxiety, stress tolerance - neuroticism), criteria for its harmony (moral education, poise, strength of character, integrity of character) and levels of harmony of a character (disharmony, potential disharmony, adaptations and harmony). The author developed a spiritual and moral scientific approach to the harmonization of character of personality in youth age. The article presents the results of research the influence of spiritual determinants to features of harmonization of character of modern youth. It has been experimentally proved that the spiritual and moral development of the personality determines the harmony of its character and a personality as a whole. The article presents the contents of the author’s program of harmonization of character through spiritual and moral self-actualization of the personality. The innovative psychological special course presented in article is directed on harmonization of character of senior pupils and students by spiritually and moral self-actualization. Itcombines lectures, introspection, discussions, role games and can be applied in work with student’s youth.

Analyzing graphic structure of phono-semantic characters: A Vietnamese method of teaching and learning Chinese characters

From the perspective of graphological structure, this article examines Vietnamese methods of teaching and learning Chinese characters by analyzing their phonetic and semantic elements. The selected sample for the survey is taken from characters collected from Thiều Chửu’s Dictionary of Chinese Script with Sino-Vietnamese Reading—the most useful dictionary in Vietnam in nearly 100 years. The resulting statistics reveal that, out of the 14,950 characters in this dictionary, there are 931 phonetic elements in which 455 are strong ones, producing 10–20 phono-semantic characters. This article argues that analyzing the relationship between the characters and their phonetic elements read in Sino-Vietnamese pronunciation is a good method for Vietnamese people to teach and learn Chinese characters. The method of learning Chinese characters has been applied in teaching Chinese characters for more than 1000 monks and nuns at the Vietnam Buddhist Academy in Hanoi. The experimental results show that students were able to improve their vocabulary very quickly, and could apply this to learning and teaching Chinese characters.

A Semantic Analysis and Community Detection-Based Artificial Intelligence Model for Core Herb Discovery from the Literature: Taking Chronic Glomerulonephritis Treatment as a Case Study

The Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) formula is the main treatment method of TCM. A formula often contains multiple herbs where core herbs play a critical therapeutic effect for treating diseases. It is of great significance to find out the core herbs in formulae for providing evidences and references for the clinical application of Chinese herbs and formulae. In this paper, we propose a core herb discovery model CHDSC based on semantic analysis and community detection to discover the core herbs for treating a certain disease from large-scale literature, which includes three stages: corpus construction, herb network establishment, and core herb discovery. In CHDSC, two artificial intelligence modules are used, where the Chinese word embedding algorithm ESSP2VEC is designed to analyse the semantics of herbs in Chinese literature based on the stroke, structure, and pinyin features of Chinese characters, and the label propagation-based algorithm LILPA is adopted to detect herb communities and core herbs in the herbal semantic network constructed from large-scale literature. To validate the proposed model, we choose chronic glomerulonephritis (CGN) as an example, search 1126 articles about how to treat CGN in TCM from the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), and apply CHDSC to analyse the collected literature. Experimental results reveal that CHDSC discovers three major herb communities and eighteen core herbs for treating different CGN syndromes with high accuracy. The community size, degree, and closeness centrality distributions of the herb network are analysed to mine the laws of core herbs. As a result, we can observe that core herbs mainly exist in the communities with more than 25 herbs. The degree and closeness centrality of core herb nodes concentrate on the range of [15, 40] and [0.25, 0.45], respectively. Thus, semantic analysis and community detection are helpful for mining effective core herbs for treating a certain disease from large-scale literature.

Electronic structure of LaIrIn5 and f-electron character in its related Ce-115 compounds

LaIrIn$_5$ is a reference compound of the heavy-fermion superconductor CeIrIn$_5$.The lack of f electrons in LaIrIn$_5$ indicates that there should not be any f electron participatingin the construction of its Fermi surface. Thus the electronic structure comparison between LaIrIn$_5$and CeIrIn$_5$ provides a good platform to study the properties of f electrons. Here angle-resolvedphotoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) measurements and density functional theory (DFT)calculations are performed to study the electronic structures of LaIrIn$_5$ and CeIrIn$_5$.We find the valence band structures of the two materials are similar to each other, exceptfor the absence of f bands in LaIrIn$_5$. By analyzing the Fermi crossings of the threeconduction bands of the two materials quantitatively, we find the volumes of the electronpockets $\\upalpha$ and $\\upbeta$ around the M$'$ point become larger from LaIrIn$_5$ to CeIrIn$_5$,while the hole pocket $\\upgamma$ around the $\\Gamma'$ point becomes smaller. Together with thecalculation results, we confirm that this is mainly originated from the f-electron contribution,while the lattice-constant difference between LaIrIn$_5$ and CeIrIn$_5$only has a finite influence.We also give a summary of the f-electron character in its related Ce-115 heavy fermion compounds. Our results may be essential for the complete microscopic understandingof the 115 compounds and the related heavy-fermion systems.

Text hiding in text using invisible character

Steganography can be defined as the art and science of hiding information in the data that could be read by computer. This science cannot recognize stego-cover and the original one whether by eye or by computer when seeing the statistical samples. This paper presents a new method to hide text in text characters. The systematic method uses the structure of invisible character to hide and extract secret texts. The creation of secret message comprises four main stages such using the letter from the original message, selecting the suitable cover text, dividing the cover text into blocks, hiding the secret text using the invisible character and comparing the cover-text and stego-object. This study uses an invisible character (white space) position of in the cover text that used to hide the the secrete sender masseges. The experiments results show that the suggested method presents highly secret due to use the multi-level of complexity to avoid the attackers.

Struktur Kepribadian dan Mekanisme Pertahanan Ego Tokoh Utama dalam Naskah Drama Al-Wajhu Al-Muẓlim li Al-Qamar Karya Najib Kailani

This article aims to peel the structure of the main character psychological condition and the defense mechanisms of his ego by using Freud's psychoanalysis theory. This is because the drama script has a very complicated problem which is experienced by the main character, Salim, in his life. He had despaired and felt that his life was empty because he got several influences from western culture. The personality structure, according to Sigmund Freud, is divided into three: id, ego and superego. This research is descriptive qualitative research. The result of this research is that personality structure which consists of id, ego and superego was found in Salim's figure. However, the dominating one is the id, then the ego, and the last superego. The researcher can make a hierarchy of personality structure of the main character, Salim, based on his research as (1) the personality structure in the form of id occupies the first level because its appearance is very intense; (2) the personality structure in the form of ego occupies the second level because its appearance is not as much as the id, (3) The personality structure in the form of superego occupies the third level because Salim rarely uses in conscience based on good or bad morality. Meanwhile, the ego defense mechanism found by the researcher in this drama script is (1) repression, (2) displacement or diversion, (3) rationalization, and (4) direct aggression. The others were not found in the drama script. The defense mechanism of the ego displacement becomes one often done by Salim figure to avoid the problem and the psychological conflict that he experienced. The reason is that he diverts feelings of displeasure towards an object to other objects that are more likely to be used as a backrest in the complicated conflict in himself. He considers that the defense mechanism of the ego's displacement felt more secure so as not to add to the complicated problem that he faces.

‘We have the same enemies’: Simone de Beauvoir and the silent feminism of C. Wright Mills

ABSTRACT During the last two decades, there has been a surge of interdisciplinary interest in the writings of the radical twentieth-century sociologist C. Wright Mills, and one of the central issues in this wave of scholarship has been the Mills’ relationship to feminism and the place of sex and gender in his social theory. Contemporary scholars assert that Mills was largely ignorant about feminism or even hostile to it and that his social theory basically ignores issues of sex and gender. As this essay shows, the existing consensus is fundamentally mistaken. Mills’ social theory of sex and gender and his emerging critique of patriarchy were heavily influenced by the ‘silent feminists,’ Shira Tarrant's name for the leading women social scientists and philosophers of the 1930s and 40s. Though an analysis of Mills’ Character and Social Structure and White Collar, I show that Mills’ anti-essentialist conception of gender was inspired by the work of anthropologist Margaret Mead, sociologist Viola Klein, and psychoanalyst Karen Horney. Likewise, through an analysis of Mills’ review of Simone de Beauvoir’s The Second Sex, I show that not only is his critique of Beauvoir rooted in his readings of the silent feminists but also that Beauvoir’s influence on Mills’ thought can be traced through his most popular works, The Power Elite and The Sociological Imagination.

Characterization of lactic acid bacteria derived exopolysaccharides for use as a defined neuroprotective agent against amyloid beta1\u201342-induced apoptosis in SH-SY5Y cells

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a disease characterized by cerebral neuronal degeneration and loss in a progressive manner. Amyloid beta (Aβ) in the brain is toxic to neurons, being a main risk factor for initiation and continuation of cognitive deterioration in AD. Neurotoxicity of Aβ origin is also linked to oxidative stress characterized by excessive lipid peroxidation, protein oxidation, changes in antioxidant systems, and cerebral DNA damage in AD. Furthermore, Aβ can induce oxidative neuronal cell death by a mitochondrial dysfunction. Cellular injury caused by oxidative stress can be possibly prevented by boosting or promoting bodily oxidative defense system by supplying antioxidants in diet or as medications. However, most synthetic antioxidants are found to have cytotoxicity, which prevents their safe use, and limits their administration. For this reason, more attention has been paid to the natural non-toxic antioxidants. One of the most promising groups of non-toxic antioxidative compounds is thought to be polysaccharides. This study investigated the characterization and protective action exerted by exopolysaccharides (EPSs) originated from Lactobacillus delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus B3 and Lactobacillus plantarum GD2 to protect from apoptotic activity exerted by Aβ1-42 among SH-SY5Y cells. We characterized EPSs by elemental analysis, FTIR, AFM, SEM, and XRD. The antioxidant effects of EPSs were determined by the DPPH free radical scavenging activity, hydroxyl radical scavenging activity, metal ion chelating activity, lipid peroxidation inhibitory activity, and superoxide anion scavenging activity method. The protective effects of EPSs were determined by flow cytometry and RT-PCR. Mannose ratio, molecular weight, functional groups, surface morphology, and amorphous character structure of EPSs are thought to play a role in the protective effect of EPSs. EPSs reduced apoptotic activity of Aβ1-42 in addition to their depolarizing effect on mitochondrial membrane potential in concentration-dependent manner. These observations contribute the inclusion of EPSs among the therapeutic options used to manage various neurological disorders in the traditional medicine in a scientific manner, indicating that EPSs may be promising natural chemical constituents that need advanced research and development for pharmacological therapy of AD.

A Frommian perspective on the socio-psychological structure of post-fascism in liberal democracies

ABSTRACT My research explores Erich Fromm’s social theories of narcissism, alienation and authoritarianism for the purpose of linking those theories together, thereby analysing current populist phenomena as an extension of a fascist development in terms of Enzo Traverso’s conception of post-fascism. In my view, Fromm’s critical social theory of narcissism, which pertains to his two other theories, has great potential to unravel current political issues in liberal democracies that are generally tackled in terms of populism. Through a demonstration of the theoretical scope of Fromm’s social theory, which sheds light on pathological social and political phenomena in historical continuity, I argue that the primary tasks of Critical Theory in Frommian terms are to divulge the sources of fascist orientations in seemingly democratic practice and to offer appropriate remedies for these difficulties. In this light, I conclude that in terms of a Frommian social theory of narcissism, fascist types of politics thrive even in advanced liberal-democratic countries, taking the form of authoritarian populism, particularly where society rests on a narcissistic character structure intertwined with an authoritarian orientation.

Rapid implicit extraction of abstract orthographic patterns of Chinese characters during reading.

Orthographic processing is crucial in reading. For the Chinese language, sub-lexical processing has already taken place at radical level. Previous literature reported early position-specific radical representations and later position-general radical representations, implying a possible separating process of abstract position information irrespective of radicals per se from radical representations during orthographic processing. However, it remains largely unclear whether the abstract pattern of spatial arrangement of radicals can be rapidly extracted, and if so, whether this extraction takes place at the visual cortex, the very first processing center. As the visual cortex is documented to actively participate in orthographic processing, it may also play a role in the possible extraction of abstract orthographic patterns of Chinese characters. Hence, we hypothesize that abstract orthographic patterns of Chinese characters are covertly extracted at the visual cortex during reading. In this study, we investigated whether the visual cortex could rapidly extract abstract structural patterns of Chinese characters, using the event-related potential (ERP) technique. We adopted an active oddball paradigm with two types of deviant stimuli different only in one feature, structural or tonal, from standard stimuli; in each of the two sessions, subjects focused conscious attention on one feature and neglected the other. We observed that the ERPs recorded at occipital electrodes responded differentially to standard and structural deviant stimuli in both sessions, especially within the time range of the occipital P200 component. Then, we extracted three source waves arising from different levels of the visual cortex. Early response differences (from 88 to 456 ms after stimulus onset) were observed between the source waves, probably arising from left primary/secondary and bilateral associative visual cortices, in response to standard and deviant stimuli that violated abstract structural patterns, whether subjects focused their attention on the character structure or not. This suggests rapid extraction of abstract structural patterns of Chinese characters in the visual cortex, no matter the abstract structural pattern was explicit or implicit to subjects. Note that the source waves arising from right primary/secondary visual cortices in response to standard and structural deviant stimuli did not differ at all, indicating that this extraction of the abstract structural pattern of Chinese characters was left-lateralized. Besides, no difference was observed between source waves originating from any level of the visual cortex to standard and deviant stimuli that violated abstract tonal patterns, until 768 ms when a late effect related to conscious detection of targets occurred at higher levels of the visual cortex. Note that at late stages (later than 698 ms after stimulus onset), responses arising from bilateral associative visual cortices to standard and target stimuli differed for both sessions, no matter the structural or tonal feature was attended to. Our findings support the primitive intelligence of visual cortex to rapidly extract abstract orthographic patterns of Chinese characters that might be engaged in further lexical processing. Our findings also suggest that this rapid extraction can take place implicitly during reading.

Augmented quasigroups and character algebras

The conjugacy classes of groups and quasigroups form association schemes, in which the relation products are defined by collapsing group or quasigroup multiplications. In previous work, sharp transitivity was used to identify association schemes, such as certain Johnson schemes, which cannot appear as quasigroup schemes. Thus quasigroup schemes only constitute a fragment of the full set of all association schemes. Nevertheless, the current paper shows that every association scheme is in fact obtained by collapsing a quasigroup multiplication. In a second application of a similar technique, character quasigroups are constructed for each finite group, as analogues of the character groups of abelian groups, to encode the multiplicative structure of group characters. As infrastructure for these and related results, three key unifying concepts in compact closed categories are established: augmented comagmas, augmented magmas, and augmented quasigroups, the latter serving to capture such diverse structures as groups and Heyting algebras.

Класифікація професійно важливих якостей психолога-консультанта

It is noted that there are a large number of scientific achievements, which cover the list of professionally important qualities of a counseling psychologist. However, scientists have not reached a consensus on the list of professionally important qualities of a counseling psychologist. Some authors include professionally important qualities as «skills», «abilities», «faith», etc., although these are different scientific categories. The purpose of our research is to systematize, classify, and group professionally important qualities that should be inherent in the psychologist-consultant, according to their personal sphere in the structure of the character. Methodology – on the basis of scientific achievements, professionally important qualities of a counseling psychologist were selected, on the basis of which a questionnaire was developed and an anonymous survey of 53 practicing counseling psychologists was conducted, who were asked to mark their required level of development. Statistically calculating the results, we selected qualities with medium, high and very high degree of development, which was then systematized, classified, and grouped by their personal sphere in the structure of the character. Scientific novelty – for the first time professionally important qualities of a psychologist-consultant were classified and grouped according to their personal sphere in the structure of character – intellectual, volitional, communicative, sensory-perceptual, social-oriented and self-presentation. The intellectual professionally important qualities of a counseling psychologist include prudence, flexibility, critical thinking, predictability, insight, observation, creativity, imaginativeness, and reflectivity. Volitional includes such subgroups of qualities as a) purposeful volitional quality – purposefulness; b) self-regulatory – patience, endurance, self-control, self-government, c) self-organizational – organization, discipline; d) morally-oriented – responsibility. Communicative includes such subgroups of qualities as a) communicative and ethical – tolerance, tact, correctness, delicacy, impartiality; b) communicative-technological – diplomacy, dialogism; c) communicative-positional – sociability, contact, openness, assertiveness. Sensory-perceptual includes syntonism, empathy, sensitivity. To self-presentation – authenticity, friendliness, congruence. To the socially-oriented – altruism, reliability, humanism. Conclusions. Thus, grouping professionally important qualities of a counseling psychologist by their personal sphere in the character structure will promote a systematic and conscious selection of the necessary psychodiagnostic tools, which in turn will ensure the quality of the professional and psychological selection of candidates for the position of «counseling psychologist». A promising area of research is to determine the reference profile of the degree of development of professionally important qualities of a psychologist-consultant of the National Police. Keywords: professionally important qualities; counseling psychologist; psychological counseling; professional and psychological selection; police.
