Dignity in Human Development Motivation

Trust is the foundation of life and is proven through practice. Trust in oneself and in each other is a valuable intangible asset of humanity, clearly demonstrated through material values such as money. True dignity must come from the comprehensive development of human beings. Otherwise, distorted standards such as dependence, possession and falsehood will appear, leading to human suffering. Economic relations come from basic human needs. Needs are the driving force for action. Therefore, true dignity must serve human existence and development. In addition, trust can be measured tangibly through material values, needs come from human nature and interests are the driving force for action. True dignity is closely linked to the needs of the community. Trust is demonstrated through practice, needs are necessary, the basis of interests, the driving force for development. Particularly painful is the belief in norms that are not based on human nature and no longer require dignity.

Using Geographic Momentary Assessment to Explore Spatial Environment Influences on Wellbeing in People With HIV.

Place-based socio-economic and racial inequities contribute to health disparities among people with HIV (PWH). We used geographic ecological momentary assessment (GEMA) methodologies to explore the interplay between psychosocial outcomes in daily diaries and community spatial measures among PWH in New Orleans. PWH (N = 69) were recruited from a clinic-based cohort study. Micro-longitudinal data were collected via smartphone-based daily diaries and geospatial tracking over 14 days. First, correlations were run between diary derived outcomes (e.g., feeling safe in current location, stress), and spatial measures (e.g., violent crime, alcohol outlets, and vacant lots) within a half-mile buffer around each diary point to understand the real time associations between mood and space. Next, we fit multilevel models, controlling for between-person effects, to assess within-person associations between accumulative spatial daily violence exposure (50m, 100m and 200m buffers), and measures of daily mood and coping. Violent crime, alcohol outlets and vacant lots were inversely correlated with feeling safe and positively correlated with perceived ease of obtaining drugs. Vacant lots were positively associated with stress and inversely correlated with positive mood. Within individuals, higher daily accumulated violence exposure was associated with increased rumination at the 50m buffer level, decreased trust in oneself and others at the 100m buffer, and decreased ratio of positive/negative mood at all buffers. Our results emphasize the intricate interplay between mental wellness, coping mechanisms, and spatial measures in PWH. Future research and interventions for PWH should consider how spatial factors may influence PWH in terms of mental health and care engagement.

A Panoramic View of Trust in the Time of Digital Automated Decision Making – Failings of Trust in the Post Office and the Tax Authorities

Abstract The ongoing Post Office scandal in the UK and the 2021 Child Daycare Benefit Scandal in the Netherlands make up exemplary cases of how digital automation has changed and in fact severely harmed trust relations ranging from trust in oneself over trust in social roles, trust in institutions, trust in technology and general trust. By looking closer at how digital automation in these cases generated ruptures in the lives of ordinary citizens and also affected the involved institutions and society at large I discuss how we may begin to discuss the impact of digitalization on trust in societies. I start with an introduction to the panoramic view of trust, followed by a short description of the two scandals. Based on the exploration of the two cases I take an ex post facto perspective on the dynamic social events as they unfolded in the scandals in order to analyze how the introduction of digital automation tools affected trust relations. I draw attention to some of the most noticeable changes in the four relations of trust, which is trust in institutions, interpersonal trust, trust in oneself and trust in technology.

Features of the relationship of self-actualization and trust in young people

The article analyses the results of the study of the peculiarities of self-actualization and trust in youth, in particular, the identification of the peculiarities of their relationship. It was determined that self-actualization is the realization of opportunities for the development of one’s own self through efforts, joint activity and joint creative work with other people, society and the world as a whole. Trust as a psychological phenomenon and personality trait occupies an important place in a number of personal factors related to the features of self-actualization. Confidence is a belief in one’s own strength, one’s own significance, value, self-respect, the desire to find support and support in oneself. Trust is important for the establishment and development of interpersonal relations, as it is a mechanism that facilitates entry into a new environment, the formation of positive relationships, which is especially important for persons of early youth. The structure and factors determining trust have been clarified. The structure includes cognitive, affective, connotative components. Types of trust are highlighted: trust in the world, trust in oneself, trust in others, social trust. It was established that the formation of constructive relations with others is possible only when the subject has trust in himself, the world, since trust is a fundamental condition for the interaction of an individual with the world. The importance of the formation and development of trust in youth is substantiated. The research was conducted on the basis of the Vinnytsia Mykhailo Kotsiubynskyi State Pedagogical University and the Communal Higher Education Institution «Vinnytsia Humanities Pedagogical College». 72 people took part in it. According to the results of the empirical research, it was determined that among the indicators of self-actualization, the scales «support», «sensitivity», «self-perception», «idea about human nature» are significantly expressed in the respondents. The study of different types of trust allows us to conclude that the level of trust development is in the range from below average to average level. The level of trust in oneself prevails over the level of trust in others. Correlation analysis showed that trust in youth is positively related to such parameters of self-actualization as support, value orientations, self-respect, ideas about human nature, synergy.

On The Question of A Human’s Personality Resources in a Changing World: Volitional Control, Trust, Anxiety

The article attempts to describe the features of a person’s volitional regulation regarding the aspect of the implementation and realization of his intention in action in a challenging situation of the modern world: complexity, uncertainty, stress. The approaches to the study of will in psychology and philosophy have been analyzed. The role of trust in the implementation of a person’s choice and the realization of intention in action has been shown . The following empirical methods were used: the psychometric technique “Self-confidence” by T.P. Skripkina, the Scale of interpersonal trust by J.Rotter in the adaptation of S.G. Dostovalov, the methodology of “Life orientations, SOHO” D. A. Leontiev, express diagnostics of propensity to unmotivated anxiety (V.V. Boyko), “Control in action” by Yu. Kull in S.A. Shapkin’s adaptation. According to the results of our study, we can conclude that there are differences in the realization of the intention to act, depending on the different ratio of the level of trust in oneself and in the world. Self-trust can be a component and an important resource of self-regulation.

The Unreal Child1

Unrepresented mental states lead to an impaired ability to feel emotions and trust in oneself, one's history and in the world. The article explores the question of how representations of oneself and the relevant other, the mother, become possible in the course of therapy when dissociative processes previously made this impossible, and what role unconscious communication plays in the analytic realm. This question will be explored by examining the theories of André Green, Philip Bromberg, and Howard Levine.

Les sauts de l’ange : Appreciative Inquiry, une manière d’être

‘To be an AI practitioner is to be called to manifest trust in oneself, others and life. This alignment is, first and foremost, an inner one: it refers to our intention, which constantly asks to be purified. It also refers to the acceptance of our fears and doubts. And, when the magic of Appreciative Inquiry takes place in me for me, I see doors and windows in my space that let the light in, and I jump.’ Patricia

Features of personality trust of Russian and Indonesian students in terms of network activity

Introduction. The process of modern youth’s cybersocialisation is caused by the digitalisation and the inclusion of information and communication technologies (ICT) in daily life. Network activity is a part of students’ socialisation. The interaction of student youth in the virtual space is conditioned by personality trust, which is revealed through the categories of trust in oneself, other users and the virtual world. The personality trust of students, as a belief in the reliability of other people and the world, regulates network activity and the life of society. Trends in the formation of personality trust in traditional and virtual space have similar prerequisites.Aim. The aim of the study is to identify the features of personality trust of Russian and Indonesian students in terms of network activity.Methodology and research methods. The study was conducted on the basis of the subject-personal approach. A set of methods was used: “Assessment of trust/distrust of a person in other people” (A. B. Kupreychenko) (the authors introduced an additional construct “virtual world”); “The study of trust/distrust of the individual in the world, other people, oneself”; “Questionnaire for the problematic use of social networks”; “Assessment of involvement in the use of ICT”.Results and scientific novelty. For the first time, personality trust is considered in the context of network activity in the framework of a comparative study of Russian and Indonesian students. Indonesian students tend to display personality trust in communication by accepting participants in network activity, in choosing more authoritative sources of information and participants with a positive reputation. Students from Russia trust reliable and credible sources and network users, basing on empathy and a similar worldview. The personality trust of students in the virtual world and network users is more pronounced among Indonesians, and trust in oneself is equally important for both groups of students. The Russian student youth is characterised by a low level of trust in the information on the network, in comparison with the Indonesian youth. General trends in the problematic use of technology have been identified, such as cognitive absorption, emotion regulation, and Internet addictive behaviour. Both groups of students prefer online communication and strive for open and effective relationships in the virtual space with like-minded people, for mutual assistance and unity.Practical significance. The results of studying the personality trust of Russian and Indonesian students in terms of network activity can be used to build open and productive relationships between young representatives of the countries, to organise psychological and pedagogical support for the socio-cultural adaptation of foreign students, to develop digital educational environment of an international university.

Barriers and facilitators of help seeking among morally injured Canadian Armed Forces Veterans and service members: A qualitative analysis

LAY SUMMARY Moral injury (MI) refers to the psycho-spiritual consequences of extremely challenging events that threaten one’s moral beliefs and core values. MI is characterized by intense shame, guilt, anger, loss of trust in oneself and others, and social withdrawal — factors that may impede a person’s willingness to seek help for mental health problems. The authors analyzed interviews with 13 Canadian Armed Forces service members and Veterans struggling with MI. They identified themes representing four main barriers to help seeking (stigma, denial, no knowledge of problem or MI, negative perceptions of the military health system) and five main facilitators of help seeking (a sense of shared experience, screening, encouragement from others to seek help, purpose as motivation, alternatives to formal mental health care). The themes identified largely overlap with factors shown in previous research to be barriers to help seeking among military samples. The results of this study suggest that additional education on the mental health consequences associated with MI, and enhanced screening for this type of distress, may lead to increased support seeking among service members and Veterans struggling with MI.

Critiquing the Subject of Moral Injury

ABSTRACT Moral injury embodies the claim that war is so transgressive for soldiers that it can create situations that may undermine one’s trust in oneself, others, and the world. Central to leading conceptualizations of moral injury is the assumption that soldiers are perhaps uniquely prone to such moral harm in combat. Other individuals who help form the context of such an injury, and who may also suffer, are overshadowed by the singular light cast on the veteran. This article argues that the nature of one’s moral injury, as well as the ethical landscape of the battlefield, will be misunderstood if definitions of moral injury continue to elide the relationships in which such injury arises. Focusing on one soldier’s reflection, the article critiques such definitions and proposes understanding moral injury as a harm that arises between persons in a wartime’s moral ecology, viewing it as a form of intersubjectivity. It also explores the political and ethical dimensions of such a reformulation.

Distrust as a psychological phenomenon

Purpose. The article provides a theoretical analysis of the problem of mistrust as a psychological phenomenon that is closely related to trust. Methods. To achieve the purpose of the study, methods of psychosocial approach are used (because mistrust is manifested both internally and externally); subjective approach (because mistrust is an independent psychological phenomenon); system approach (allows to take into account all connections, types, forms, criteria of trust-distrust, as well as determinants, consequences, functions). With the help of these methods the essence of distrust is revealed, which has its own criteria and features. Results. Analysis of domestic and foreign works on the psychological phenomenon of mistrust allows us to consider it as a means of ensuring human existence in the global world. Along with other sciences (philosophy, sociology, culturology, economics), which study trust – distrust, psychology has a number of methodological and technological problems. The connection between self-confidence and trust in the world is investigated. The task of the study is to determine the essence of distrust; to trace the connection between trust in oneself and trust in the world; to expand the notion of distrust as a means of personal security; to study distrust as a personality trait. An important point in the existence of a balance of self-confidence and trust in others is the level of self-reflection (awareness, spirituality), which will provide a person with peace and acceptance in an unknown difficult situation or fear and rejection, which often drives a person to act non-stereotypically or stereotypically. Conclusions. In general, it can be concluded that mistrust can manifest itself in suspicion, jealousy, inner tension, "protection", naivety, conformity, dogmatism, negativism, skepticism, intimophobia, unwillingness to make long-term plans, fear of change, excessive propensity to engage. The existence of a balance of self-confidence and trust in others is the level of self-reflection (awareness, spirituality), which will provide a person with balance and self-efficacy in solving life's problems.

Trust as a leading socio-psychological relationship in the experience of existential given

The understanding of the value of human life and responsibility for everything that happens or can happen to a person is analysed in the article; ways of overcoming alienation and loneliness and building trust in oneself, in the world and in others are identified. A theoretical overview, where the connectivity of existential givens is traced, is presented; in works of psychology, we however do not find scientific-psychological and statistical substantiation of these connections, which were outlined as long ago as at the time of existentialist philosophers. The results of empirical research are obtained by using the following methods – the study of personal trust or distrust in the world, in other people, in oneself by Alla Kupreychenko; Milton Rokeach Value Survey; Multidimensional diagnostic of "responsibility" RESPONSIBILITY-70; Dmitriy Leont'yev’s Meaningful Orientations Test; "Death Attitude" questionnaire by Paul T. P. Wong; Kseniya Chistopol'skaya’s adaptation of the "Fear of Personal Death" questionnaire, Yevgeniy Osin & Dmitriy Leont'yev’s differential questionnaire on the experience of loneliness. 80 people between the ages of 18 and 61 took part in the study. Of these, 54 % were females and 46 %, males. 51 % of the respondents have a family; 49 %, do not; 50 % of the respondents have a higher education. It is established that the level of understanding life, accepting responsibility, loneliness and its consequences are largely determined by the individual's trust in oneself, in others and in the world as a whole; the "optimal measure" of trust allows a person to accept existential given and cope with the feeling of meaninglessness of existence and the fear of death; what becomes the logical continuation of the search and finding meaning in life and the struggle with existential crisis is the attitude towards death, which includes analysis of the reasons for fear.

Sport and self-love: reflections on boxing and the construction of selfhood

ABSTRACT This article examines whether boxing, despite – or perhaps because – its destructive potential can be an arena for the formation of selfhood. Based on Honneth’s theory of recognition (1995), I suggest that boxing can be an arena for recognition in the form of love and therefore essential for the construction of selfhood. My central thesis is that boxing can cultivate love, trust, and knowledge in and of oneself- elements crucial to the formation of selfhood. By taking a closer look at the three forms of boxing – basic conditioning, sparring, and the boxing match (competition) – I suggest that these different ways of practice have different potential for cultivating these elements. I conclude that due to contextual and internal factors, the boxing match does not fulfil its potential. However, sparring can provide relationships of care that results in regimes of self-care; trust in oneself and others, as well as self-knowledge; all building blocks in the construction of selfhood. I round off with a suggestion to modify the boxing match in order to enhance its potential for realizing both play and selfhood.

Взаимосвязь умственного развития студентов с морально-нравственными регуляторами социального взаимодействия

Objective. The most important source of stabilization and further development of society is the social activity of citizens. Young people have the greatest potential for this activity. In this regard, it is interesting to study the factors and conditions of social activity of students. Background. For Russia, which experienced a socio-political cataclysm at the end of the last century and is in the stage of “recovery”, the social activity of young people is a source of stabilization and further development. In this regard, it is interesting to study the factors and conditions of social activity of students. Study design. The interrelationships of the level of students’ mental development were investigated, firstly, with the level of acceptance of such moral standards as trust and honesty, and, secondly, with such parameters of social interaction as its significance for the subject and the choice of the method of reaction in a particular situation. Participants. 268 students of three universities wich differ by the level of urbanization of the locality (megapolis, regional centre, district city). The average age of subjects is 19-20 years. Measurements. Test of mental development of adults, questionnaire of trusting relationships, questionnaire of legitimization of dishonesty, method of diagnostics of social interaction (M.K. Akimova, etc.). Results. It is revealed that the level of formation of such mental operations as the ability to generalize, classify, think by analogy and inductively, operate with numbers, is statistically significantly interrelated with the level of trust in oneself and in public institutions, the degree of anxiety in social interaction, as well as with the degree of prevention of such manifestations of dishonesty as theft. The erudition of the subject is interrelated with trust in the state and public institutions. The assessment of the subjective significance of the situation of social interaction and the level of activity in it are also interrelated with certain characteristics of the mental development. Conclusions. There is a cognitive component in the form of the formation of certain mental operations, erudition and the level of general mental development of the subject in the forming of trust and honesty, as well as in assessing the subjective significance of the situation of social interaction and determining the level of activity in it.

Epistemic Self-Trust: It's Personal

AbstractWhat is epistemic self-trust? There is a tension in the way in which prominent accounts answer this question. Many construe epistemic trust in oneself as no more than reliance on our sub-personal cognitive faculties. Yet many accounts – often the same ones – construe epistemic trust in others as a normatively laden attitude directed at persons whom we expect to care about our epistemic needs. Is epistemic self-trust really so different from epistemic trust in others? I argue that it is not. We certainly do rely on our cognitive faculties to achieve epistemic ends; but I argue that we also have the normatively rich sort of epistemic trust in ourselves. Moreover, there is a theoretical need for this normatively rich notion of epistemic self-trust: positing it yields the best account of how we secure important epistemic goods, including knowledge and recognition as knowers. I argue this by giving an account of epistemic trust in others and showing that it can be generalized to epistemic trust in oneself.

The Psychological Resources of Personality-Based Confidentiality: Possibilities of Personality Trust in Oneself and Others

The aim of the article is to define personality-based confidentiality resources in an empirical way. The following methods were used: a psychological survey with the use of personality resourceful questionnaire, a psychological resource questionnaire, a test questionnaire for diagnosing indicators of existential resources, a questionnaire for virtues and character strengths, a questionnaire for coping with a crisis, a psychological well-being questionnaire, a coherence scale, methods for determining tolerance to uncertainty, and estimation methods and predicting the development of situations of interpersonal interaction, questionnaire of reflexivity, methods of trust / distrust of a person to the world, others, himself. Methods of mathematical statistical analysis such as Tests of Normality, multivariate analysis, cluster analysis of k-medium method, classification analysis, comparative analysis, discriminant analysis are applied. The empirical study was implemented according to the Nelson’s model, since conditions were set for determining the resources of personal confidentiality, namely: the level of human confidence in himself, the level of human confidence in others, the level of system reflection, and the certainty of resource content. The results of the research. It is proved that a person’s search for shortcomings in himself and others is a criterion of his readiness to mistrust both himself and others. The predictors of the embodiment of confidentiality in relation to a person towards himself and others are the psychological resources of working on oneself, responsibility, helping others, realized through resources as «character forces» – openness to new experience, leadership, and ability to forgive, kindness. According to the results of the empirical study, it is leadership as the ability to inspire and organize oneself and others, which is the main factor and predictor of a person’s trust in oneself and other people. Conclusions. The main resources for the embodiment of confidentiality are reflexive resources, which include psychological resources and resources as «character forces». The results of the study give reasons to consider the psychological resources of working on oneself as «recovery resources», (shared) responsibility, kindness to others and helping them who interpret, and, accordingly, make it possible to conceptualize subjective activity, that is, to realize personal self-understanding; as well as «strength of character» as an openness to new experience, leadership, the ability to forgive, kindness, giving the opportunity to argue the understanding.

“It’s up to me”: the experience of patients at high risk of cardiovascular disease of lifestyle change

Objective Despite knowledge of the effect of lifestyle changes in preventing cardiovascular disease, a large proportion of people have unhealthy lifestyle habits. The aim of our study is a) to explore the experiences of participants at high risk of CVD of lifestyle change after participation in a one-year structured lifestyle counselling programme and b) to link the techniques and strategies used by the participants to the processes of the transtheoretical model of behaviour change (TTM). Design A qualitative explorative design was used to collect data on participants’ experiences. An abductive content analysis was conducted using the processes within TTM for the deductive analysis. Setting Patients that participated in a one-year lifestyle counselling programme in Swedish primary care, were interviewed. Subjects Eight men and eight women, aged 51–75 years, diagnosed with hypertension or type 2 diabetes mellitus. Main outcome measures Experiences of lifestyle change in patients at high cardiovascular risk. Results The analysis yielded four dimensions that assisted lifestyle change: ‘The value of knowledge’, ‘Taking control’, ‘Gaining trust in oneself’ and ‘Living with a chronic condition’. The theme ‘It’s up to me’ illustrated that lifestyle change was a personal matter and responsibility. Conclusion Enhanced knowledge, self-efficacy, support from others and the individual’s insight that it was his/her own decisions and actions that mattered were core factors to adopt healthier lifestyle habits. Practice Implications: Although lifestyle change is a personal matter, the support provided by primary healthcare professionals and significant others is essential to increase self-efficacy and motivate lifestyle change. Key Points A large proportion of people persist to have unhealthy lifestyle habits also after receiving a diagnosis of hypertension or diabetes mellitus, type 2. This study contributes to enhanced knowledge of how patients experience lifestyle change after counselling in primary care. Both experiential and behavioural processes as defined by the transtheoretical model of behaviour change were used to make lifestyle changes by the patients in this study.

PSYCHOLOGICAL WELL-BEING OF AN INDIVIDUAL IN RELATION TO TRUST IN ONESELF AND PEOPLE

The article is devoted to the study of the psychological well-being of an individual in connection with trust in oneself and people. The relevance of the study is due to the fact that the situation of social development of a modern person in the postmodern environment, characterized by disintegration of communities and groups formed and supported on the basis of unity of worldview, activity and lifestyle, creates a threat to the psychological well-being of a person, due to the growing distrust of man to himself and people. In the course of the study, the level and substantial characteristics of an individual’s confidence in oneself and people were studied; the psychological well-being of an individual with different levels of trust in oneself and people was investigated; the components of psychological well-being associated with the personal trust in oneself and people were revealed. It was established that the lower the level of trust of a person in himself and people, the lower the level of psychological well-being and its components; indicators of self-confidence and trust in people are associated with the following components of psychological well-being of an individual: personal growth, goals in life, environmental management, self-acceptance, an integral indicator of psychological well-being, degree of satisfaction with daily activities.

\u201cTo mean something to someone\u201d: sport-for-development as a lever for social inclusion

BackgroundSocially excluded groups are at higher risk of low well-being and poor health. The link between social exclusion and health inequities is complex, and not being involved in society makes it difficult to be reached by standard prevention programs. Sport-for-development (SFD) programs are low-threshold and may be promising settings for inclusive actions. We explore the underlying mechanisms through which SFD might have an impact on social inclusion and examine the necessary conditions that work as a catalyst for these underlying mechanisms.MethodsA realist evaluation approach was adopted. A non-profit SFD organization in a middle-large city in Flanders, Belgium, formed the setting for a single case study. Document analysis, participatory observations, interviews, and a focus group, were sources for identifying necessary context elements and essential mechanisms through which SFD could promote its participants’ health and wellbeing.ResultsAmong the most efficient mechanisms triggered by the Foundation’s activities are learning by fun, connecting with peers (of whom some serve as role model) and engaging as a volunteer with some responsibilities. Building trust in oneself and in others is a necessary process throughout all these mechanisms. Facilitating context factors include the activities’ accessibility and unconditional approach (creating a sense of safety), the popularity of the first division football team the Foundation is associated with (leading to a sense of belonging), a steady network of social partners and a strongly positive relationship with the SFD coach(es).ConclusionsOur findings demonstrate that a SFD setting may be a vehicle for engaging hard-to-reach population groups. It enhances socially vulnerable persons’ sense of competence and connectedness, leading to opportunities to improve life and work skills transferrable outside SFD settings. Based on these findings, suggestions are provided that may enhance the field and help to develop feasible (policy-led) interventions designed to promote social inclusion.
