Личностные ресурсы при принятии этических решений в деятельности психолога-консультанта

The article presents the results of a study that studied the components of personal resources and established connections between the level of resources and the correctness of solving ethical dilemmas. Purpose of the work: to identify and describe the component of personal resources that is associated with compliance or violation of professional ethics. Objectives of the study: to study the connection between the level of personal resources of consultants and ethical decisions in uncertain situations. Methods: 1) questionnaire for loss and acquisition of personal resources (N.E. Vodopyanova, M. Stein); 2) questionnaire «Psychological Well-Being Scale by K. Ryff» (adapted by T.D. Shevelenkova, T.P. Fesenko); 3) questionnaire «Volitional personality traits» (M.V. Chumakov); 4) methodology «Diagnostics of strategies for overcoming stressful situations» (S. Hobfoll, adaptation by N.E. Vodopyanova, E.S. Starchenkova); 5) questionnaire of values of S. Schwartz (adapted by V.N. Karandashev), method of expert assessments. Data processing method: r-Spearman, r-Pearson correlation analysis, multiple regression analysis. Sample: 70 psychologists aged from 20 to 62 years, practicing in different counseling approaches, of which 9 were men and 61 were women. The results obtained suggest that a high level of resources among consultants is associated with personal characteristics, such as perseverance and initiative. A connection has been revealed between a decrease in resources and impulsive actions, and the components of personal resources associated with the correctness of solving ethical dilemmas have been identified.

Implementation of the model of positive civic identity and traditional values of students

The article presents the developed and tested model of formation of positive civic identity and traditional values of students. The purpose of the article: to present the results of the formative experiment confirming the effectiveness of the model (increase in the indicators of positive civic identity and traditional values of students after its implementation). Research design: experiment, control diagnostics, the development and implementation of special tests on psychology of personal values. Participants: 20 students studying in the psychology department (experimental group) and 17 students studying in the special (defectological) education department (control group). Research loci: Federal State Budgetary Educational Institution of Higher Education “Transbaikal State University” (Chita, Russia). Methods (tools): value questionnaire by Sh. Schwartz, identity questionnaire in 16 categories (M. S. Yanitsky and others), R. Inglehart’s method (modification of M. S. Yanitsky), method of measuring the expression of civic identity (N. M. Lebedeva, A. N. Tatarko). Mathematical processing of data was carried out using the Wilcoxon T-test. The results of the forming experiment showed that during the implementation of the model there were significant shifts in the indicators of a number of values at the individual level (conformity, traditions, benevolence, safety). The significance of the identities “I as a representative of my people”, “I as a citizen of my country” and “I as a resident of this city” increased significantly. After psychological and pedagogical influence, the number of those who recognize the values of adaptation and socialization increased. The indicators “Strength” and “Valence” (degree of positivity) of civic identity increased significantly.

Cognitive Ability and Personal Values: A Large Sample Study of Schwartz's Values, HEXACO Personality, Age, and Gender

This study offers the most comprehensive assessment to date of the relationship between personal values and cognitive ability. A large sample of Australian adults (n = 15,552; 60% female; age M = 38.7, SD = 10.7) completed Schwartz’s Portrait Values Questionnaire (PVQ-RR), 200-item HEXACO Personality Inventory–Revised, and measures of general intelligence, crystallized intelligence (verbal ability), and fluid intelligence (abstract reasoning) as part of a job application. General intelligence correlated positively with self-direction, benevolence, and universalism, and negatively with security, tradition, and conformity. Crystallized intelligence correlated more strongly with values than did fluid intelligence. Basic values explained more variance in cognitive ability compared with higher-order values, while narrow values provided minimal incremental prediction. Personal values correlated more strongly with intelligence than did personality traits. Item-level models for personal values and personality offered meaningful incremental prediction of intelligence. Findings support refinement of theories on the development of values, personality, and cognitive ability.

Взаимосвязь рисков агрессивности студенческой молодежи с показателями самоэффективности, самооценки и скромности

<p>The study focuses on comparing rates of self-efficacy, self-esteem, and humility in relation to levels of physical aggression, anger, hostility, and general aggressiveness. 2315 students (83% – female) from Russian universities were recruited for this study. The following methods were utilized: the Buss-Perry Aggression Questionnaire, Rosenberg's Self-Esteem Scale, R. Schwarzer's & M. Jerusalem's General Self-efficacy scale, S. Shwartz's Values Questionnaire (PVQ-R2). Data from the "Humility" scale was used. The results showed significant negative correlations between the mentioned variables. An increase of aggression rates is associated with a decrease in self-efficacy, self-esteem, and humility. It was also found that there was no relationship between the indicators of hostility and humility. It was shown that the indicators of self-efficacy, self-esteem and humility differ in the context of different types of aggression. It was found that students with low and medium levels of physical aggression are characterized by higher indicators of self-efficacy, self-esteem, and humility. A similar trend is relevant for the group with low level of anger. Students with low levels of hostility show higher scores of self-efficacy and self-esteem (but not humility). Students' self-esteem, humility, and self-efficacy also vary in the context of aggressiveness integral measure levels. The obtained results can be applied in the implementation of the Concept of development of the network of psychological services in educational organizations of higher education in the Russian Federation.</p>

Этническая, гражданская и глобальная идентичности русских старшеклассников: связь с ценностями

<p>The article examines the relationship between individual values and the ethnic, social, and global identities of Russian high school students. In the context of social self-determination and the identification of individuals with various social groups during the transition to adulthood, it is essential to explore the resource potential of different types of social identity in relation to the motivational and value dimensions of personality. The sample comprised 155 participants from Moscow (54% female), 156 from Smolensk (63% female), and 173 from Khabarovsk (66% female), all aged 15 to 18 years and identifying as Russian. Respondents completed the S. Schwartz "Portrait Value Questionnaire" (PVQ-RR) and the modified “Identification with Humanity” (IWAH) technique by S. McFarland, as adapted by T.A. Nestik. As a result of regression analysis, it was determined that the primary predictor of ethnic identity among Russian high school students, regardless of their region of residence, is the meta-value of Conservation. Conversely, the primary predictor of global identity is the meta-value of Self-Transcendence, which aligns with findings from similar studies with adults. We identidied a number of correlations of individual values with three types of identity specific to each sample. The interpretation of the research results considered the socio-economic context of the regions studied.</p>

The Perceived Value of Products Create from Natural Waste Materials and Differences in Perception of Demographic Groups by Generational Theory

The objectives of this research are 1) to analyze the characteristics of the sample group's perception of the value of products created from waste natural materials and 2) to analyze differences in the perceived value of products created from waste natural materials between the sample groups according to generational theory. The population in the research was a group of people interested in handicrafts and home decoration products born from 1946 - 2010. The sample group consisted of 400 people, selected by quota sampling, divided into 4 groups by generational theory with 100 people per generation. The research tools were 1) the 7-rating scale of the perceived value questionnaire, and 2) the works created from waste natural materials as a stimulus. Data analysis used descriptive statistics, frequency, percentage, mean and standard deviation, and statistical tests 1) Factor analysis and 2) Analysis of Variance. This research found that 1) the perception of value of products created from waste natural materials among the sample group had the highest overall perception of value. Products are not devalued by perception, and 2) The sample group determined according to generational theory has a significantly different perception of the value of products created from natural waste materials. Generation Z has the highest overall perceived value, followed by Generation Y, Generation B, and Generation X.

Relationships Among Values, Design, Stakeholders, and Beliefs – A Preliminary Analysis of Student Perceptions

Emerging design processes like value sensitive design place greater importance on socio-technical and value considerations. However, there is a lack of consensus on whether technologies or engineering processes are value neutral or laden. This study explores engineering student perceptions related to value considerations and their broader beliefs. Twenty second-year engineering students completed a survey that included value statements, design priorities, Belief in a Just World questionnaire, and subsets of the Portrait Values questionnaire. Students consistently perceived that institutional and stakeholder values need to be considered in the design process but felt their own values had less importance. Some correlations between survey elements aligned with more traditional engineering mindsets while others aligned with more emerging engineering mindsets. Students with a more traditional mindset identified a smaller role for values in engineering design. There is a need for a larger, longitudinal study to more deeply understand student perceptions related to values.

Social Orientations, Preferred Values or Political Beliefs: What Predicts Anxiety and Interest in Climate Change?

An understanding of the psychosocial factors that influence an individual’s attitude towards climate change and the potential impact of these factors on sustainability could prove valuable in the development of future programmes and campaigns designed to encourage more eco-friendly behaviours. Therefore, the objective of this study was to examine the relationship between anxiety about climate change, climate change curiosity, and a number of variables pertaining to psychosocial functioning, including social orientations, preferred values, and political beliefs. This study involved a sample of 277 people (Mage = 30.10; SD age = 9.32) who completed a series of scales: The Climate Anxiety Scale, The Curiosity of Climate Changes Scale, Agency/Communion Scale, The Portrait Values Questionnaire, and The Political Beliefs Questionnaire. The regression analysis revealed that two aspects of social orientation, namely unmitigated agency and unmitigated communion, were predictive of anxiety about climate change. Conversely, curiosity about climate change was not predicted by different aspects of social orientation. The self-transcendence metacategory of values was found to positively predict climate anxiety, whereas the conservation metacategory of values predicts it negatively. Political beliefs were not found to predict fear of climate change; however, some aspects of political beliefs were predictive of interest in climate change. Furthermore, a cluster analysis identified three distinct clusters of participants, distinguished by varying scores on the climate anxiety and climate curiosity scales. These clusters were characterised as follows: Anxious (individuals with high levels of climate anxiety and high levels of climate curiosity), Curious (individuals with low levels of climate anxiety and high levels of climate curiosity) and Disinterested (individuals with low levels of climate anxiety and low levels of climate curiosity). The individuals grouped within these clusters demonstrated differences in some aspects of social orientation, preferred values, and political beliefs.

Особенности ценностно-смыслового компонента психолого-педагогической культуры личности старшеклассников

<p>The work is devoted to the analysis of the value-semantic component of the psychological and pedagogical culture of the individual. In addition, the author examines and analyzes the category "psychological and pedagogical culture", the relationship of the term with the categories "psychological culture" and "pedagogical culture".The article presents the results of a study conducted among students in grades 10-11 of Barnaul schools. 152 students were from classes of psychological and pedagogical orientation and 165 students from non-psychological and pedagogical classes.To study the features of the value-semantic component of the psychological and pedagogical culture of the personality of high school students, the following methods were used: 1) «Portrait Value Questionnaire»(Sh. Schwartz),in the adaptation by N.M.Lebedeva;2)«The system of lifemeanings»(V.Y.Kotlyakov);3)«Test of life orientations»(D.A.Leontiev,in the adaptation by E.N.Osina,N.V.Kosheleva);4)Mini-essay «My attitude to pedagogical professions». The results obtained make it possible to say that high school students from psychological and pedagogical classes have peculiarities in the formation of a value-semantic component of psychological and pedagogical culture of a personality when comparing them with high school students from other classes.Differences in attitudes towards the teaching profession, the structure of value orientations, and the system of life meanings are revealed. The author notes that in the future it is planned to compare groups according to a larger number of indicators of the value-semantic sphere, to conduct a factor analysis to identify factors (components) characterizing the value-semantic component of the psychological and pedagogical culture of a high school student's personality. In addition, a program of work with psychological and pedagogical classes is being tested and implemented,aimed at forming a value-semantic component of psychological and pedagogical culture.</p>

Value Predictors of Current and Prospective Family Identity in Adolescents with Various Developmental Trajectories

The article presents the results of an empirical study aimed at searching the value predictors of current and prospective family identity in adolescents with different trajectories of transition to adulthood. The study participants were 488 adolescents aged 13–18, demonstrating trajectories of confident, postmodern and infantile transition to adulthood, as well as an uncertain trajectory of transition to adulthood. Empirical data was collected using the "Who am I? Twenty sentences" by M. Kuhn and T. McPartland, a short version of the Value Questionnaire of Sh. Schwartz and a modified methodology for studying self-esteem by T.V. Dembo and S.Ya. Rubinstein. The results suggest that in the structure of adolescent identity, the current family identity prevails over the prospective one. The value of benevolence is a positive predictor of indicators of both current and prospective family identity. The value of self-direction is a negative predictor of the indicator of current family identity, the value of hedonism is a prospective family identity. The negative impact of the value of self-direction on the current family identity is most clearly in the subgroup of adolescents with a postmodern trajectory of transition to adulthood, the negative impact of the value of hedonism on the prospective family identity is in the subgroup of adolescents with confident transition to adulthood.

A Debreceni Egyetem Tehetséggondozó Programjában résztvevő hallgatók munkaérték preferenciái

Work values make individuals interested and guide their behavior permanently, so our investigation is particularly important. Employees choose a workplace where they in accordance with their values. The purpose of our research was to explore the work value of students participating in the Talent Management Program of the University of Debrecen. Among our sub-goals was the investigation of whether intrinsic or extrinsic values are preferred. We conducted our own investigation using a questionnaire method, the Super work value questionnaire. A t-test was used to examine the difference between the rankings of women and men. Among the respondents, social relations, self-realization, variety and safety represent the most value. Aesthetics and control are considered less important. We recommend creating a working environment for employers that is characterized by close human relationships and diversity, where employees can take advantage of the opportunities provided by their creativity.

Resilience and emotional intelligence as mediators between personal values and life satisfaction among Chinese young adults

BackgroundYoung adults are in the period of the formation and establishment of values. Even though previous research has revealed that personal values are important factors influencing young adults’ life satisfaction, it is still unknown when and under what circumstances values affect life satisfaction among young adults. Therefore, this study explored the relationship between personal values and life satisfaction among Chinese young adults, focusing on the mediating roles of resilience and emotional intelligence.MethodsA sample of N = 635 (271 male) young adults from four universities located in Guangzhou were recruited using a cross-sectional stratified sampling method. All participants completed the Revised Portrait Value Questionnaire, Emotional Intelligence Scale, Satisfaction with Life Scale, and Brief Resilience Scale.ResultsResults revealed that: (1) self-transcendence (r = 0.29, p < 0.001), self-enhancement (r = 0.27, p < 0.001), openness to change (r = 0.22, p < 0.001), and conservation (r = 0.26, p < 0.001) were differentially positively associated with life satisfaction. Chain mediation analysis found that: there was a significant indirect effect for self-transcendence, via EI (ind = 0.070, p = 0.004, 95% CI = [0.027, 0.124]), and the sequential influence via EI and resilience suggested a moderate effect (ind = 0.024, p = 0.008, 95% CI = [0.009, 0.045]). For self-enhancement values exerted significantly negative indirect effects on LS via resilience (ind = −0.029, p = 0.034, 95% CI = [−0.060, −0.005]). Openness to change had a significant indirect impact on LS via EI (ind = 0.086, p < 0.001, 95% CI = [0.046, 0.133]), and the sequential influence via resilience and EI was significant (ind = 0.029, p = 0.001, 95% CI = [0.015, 0.050]). For conservation, the chain mediation model did not reveal any significant indirect effects via resilience or EI.ConclusionOur findings extend the current literature on personal values and life satisfaction, highlighting the significant effects of resilience and emotional intelligence on the link between personal values and life satisfaction. Overall, this research helps young adults strengthen their resilience and emotional intelligence to increase the impact of values on life satisfaction.

Turkish teachers' values with rational and non-rational truth and teacher emotions in teaching.

The aim of this study was to clarify the relationships between personal values, truth-related values and emotions among Turkish teachers. The Schwartz's Value Theory and Frenzel's teacher emotion model were used as the theoretical framework. This study used a cross-sectional correlational research design. The data were collected from 279 teachers with the Portrait Value Questionnaire (PVQ) where rational truth and non-rational truth values were added, and with the Teacher Emotions Scale (TES). The circular structure of the Schwartz Value Theory was tested by multidimensional scaling. The data analysis aimed to uncover relationships between personal values, truth-related values, and emotions. Rational truth emerged near self-direction and self-transcendence, yet items measuring non-rational truth were scattered among values. Females had higher regard for self-direction and hedonism than males. Non-rational truth was negatively correlated with enjoyment, while it was positively correlated with anxiety. The implications for gender roles in Turkish society are discussed.

Sleep Value and Sleep Resilience are Important Dimensions of Sleep Health and We Measured Them: Methods for the Sleep Resilience and Variance in Sleep Valuation (SRVIV) Study

Abstract Sleep health is a multidimensional construct that is essential for general health and well-being. Sleep value, the amount of worth an individual places on their sleep, and sleep resilience, the ability to function emotionally, cognitively, and physically in the presence of sleep disturbances are overlooked dimensions of sleep health. To study these sleep health dimensions, we developed the Sleep Valuation Item Bank 2.0, Values Inventory, Monetary Sleep Value Questionnaire, and Sleep Resilience Questionnaire. This paper describes the methods for the Sleep Resilience and Variance in Sleep Valuation (SRVIV) Study. The SRVIV study was conducted to explore the factor structure of sleep value and sleep resilience and determine how they relate to demographic, sleep, and psychological variables. This study resulted in an analysis sample of 455 participants who were recruited by a Qualtrics team and completed a Qualtrics survey consisting of demographic, anxiety, depression, and sleep-related questionnaires, in addition to sleep value and sleep resilience questionnaires. Adult participants were recruited throughout the continental United States and were predominately female (53%), white (82%), married (50%), and had an average age of 45.4 years. The data resulting from this study can be used to address important questions in the field of sleep psychology.

THEORETICAL ASPECTS OF THE FORMATION OF SOCIAL VALUES OF PRIMARY SCHOOL STUDENTS BASED ON NATIONAL SPORTS

The article discusses the theoretical aspects of the formation of social values in primary school students based on national sports. The philosophical, psychological, and pedagogical meanings of the concepts of "value" and "social value" are characterized. In the course of the analysis, social values—in a broad sense—are important in the context of compliance or non-compliance with the needs of phenomena and objects of existence, society, social groups, and individuals. It is clarified that in a narrower sense, these are humane and aesthetic requirements that have developed as a product of human culture and social consciousness. Signs of social values are understood as general provisions for members of society, continuously functioning depending on time, regulation of public relations, voluntary and conscious action. Also, according to the theoretical analysis in the article, the life and social types of ways to regulate the behavior of primary school students through social values regulate several attributes. In particular, vital: life, health, physique, safety, well-being, human condition (satiety, calmness, cheerfulness), strength, endurance, quality of life, natural environment (environmental values), practicality, consumption, etc., and social: hard work, wealth, work, family, unity, patriotism, tolerance, discipline, business, risk, social equality, ability to achieve, personal independence, consumption level, etc. In the empirical section, experimental work was carried out for primary school students using the "Value Questionnaire" method. Schwartz and M. Rokich's methodology "Definition of value orientations" was used.

ФЕНОМЕН АЛОЦЕНТРИЗМУ: У ФОКУСІ ПСИХОЛОГІЧНИХ ДОСЛІДЖЕНЬ

The article analyzes the multidimensional construct of allocentrism, which is understood as a way of thinking and cognition in which a person relies on an external reference system and puts other people, not himself, in the focus of attention. Various approaches to the study of allocentrism are analyzed, including neurobiological, psychological and socio-psychological studies. It is shown that allocentrism is not a homogeneous phenomenon, but manifests itself at different levels of the human psyche, from neural processes to social behavior. Three levels of study of this phenomenon are distinguished. At the psychophysiological level, the perception of space and orientation in it are studied; methods: encephalogram, functional magnetic resonance imaging, virtual technologies. At the psychological level, the ability to take the position of another, to look at the world through their eyes is studied; methods: self-esteem scale, value questionnaires, projective methods for completing sentences, scenario stimuli. At the socio-psychological level, the ability of the individual to take into account the interests and needs of others is considered; methods: INDCOL scale, other individualism-collectivism scales. The complexity of defining and measuring allocentrism is emphasized, as it is closely intertwined with other psychological phenomena, such as decentering, collectivism, and empathy. Their common and distinctive characteristics are highlighted. Some methodological aspects of the study of allocentrism are considered, including the advantages and disadvantages of such methods as self-report questionnaires, experimental tasks, and neuroimaging. The need for more accurate and valid instruments to measure allocentrism at different levels, which will be useful in counseling and therapy, is emphasized. Key words: allocentrism, decentering, collectivism, empathy, neuropsychology, allocentric personality.

Navigating values: leadership behaviors for enhancing police organizational identity

PurposeThis study investigates the differential effectiveness of leadership styles within the German Federal Police Office, focusing on how these styles interact with employees' personal values to influence organizational identification (OI). Thus, we investigate the augmentation hypothesis and explore the moderating effects of personal values on leadership effectiveness regarding OI.Design/methodology/approachUtilizing a quantitative cross-sectional design, the study analyzes responses from 1,816 police employees via the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire and Portraits Value Questionnaire. Hierarchical regressions are used to analyze the hypothesized associations.FindingsThe results indicate that transformational leadership significantly enhances OI more than transactional or laissez-faire leadership. Moderating effects of personal values reveal complex interactions: while transformational leadership consistently predicts higher OI, transactional leadership’s effectiveness varies according to the employees' values such as Conformity and Tradition enhancing OI, Universalism and Benevolence diminishing it. These findings suggest that leadership effectiveness in policing is contingent on aligning leadership style with the personal values of the employees.Originality/valueThis research contributes to the understanding of how personal values modulate the impact of leadership styles on organizational outcomes within police organizations. It underscores the necessity for police leaders to consider the value profiles of their employees to optimize OI and effectiveness. The study is among the first to systematically explore these dynamics within a law enforcement context, providing empirical evidence to inform targeted leadership development and policy-making in policing.

The Impact of Self-Transcendence on Anxiety Among Chinese College Students: The Moderating Roles of Self-Enhancement and Dominant Self-Construal.

This study explores the role of self-transcendence values in reducing anxiety among Chinese undergraduates, with a particular focus on how self-enhancement values and self-construal styles moderate this relationship. A total of 567 undergraduate students were assessed using the Portrait Values Questionnaire (PVQ-21), the Trait Anxiety Inventory (T-AI), and the Self-Construal Scale (SCS). Hierarchical regression and moderated moderation analyses were conducted to test the interactions between the variables. The findings suggest that self-enhancement moderated the association between self-transcendence and anxiety, particularly in individuals with low self-enhancement. Furthermore, the moderating effect of self-enhancement was influenced by dominant self-construal. These findings have practical implications for integrating value-based interventions in educational and public health strategies aimed at improving mental well-being among university students.

The exploration Batak Toba culture based on Schwartz Basic Values Theory: A descriptive analysis of cultural value Dalihan Na Tolu

Indonesia is a country rich in ethnic and cultural diversity, one of which is the Batak Toba culture. Batak Toba culture places great importance on the philosophy of Dalihan Na Tolu, a traditional framework that emphasizes social harmony and respect. This study explores the relationship between Schwartz’s fundamental human values and the philosophy of Dalihan Na Tolu in Batak Toba culture. The research respondents comprised 143 Batak Toba individuals aged between 16 and 29 years, 44 men and 99 women. The instrument used was the Portrait Values Questionnaire(PVQ-40), adapted to the Indonesian context. The research found that the highest value among Batak Toba people is universalism, with self-transcendence being the dominant value orientation. These fundamental values of universalism and self-transcendence are strongly reflected in the Dalihan Na Tolu philosophy, which emphasizes the importance of maintaining harmony and balance between humans and nature.

Patient-Reported Goals of Care in the Preoperative Clinic: Barriers to and Facilitators of Patient Values Elicitation and Documentation.

Infrequent preoperative goals of care (GOC) documentation leads to challenges in medical decision-making when patients experience postoperative complications. We evaluated the feasibility of enhancing GOC documentation through a patient portal-based values questionnaire. A patient values questionnaire (PVQ) was distributed to patients before their Gynecologic Surgical Oncology clinic appointments via an electronic health record (EHR)-based portal from June to October 2023. Surgeons and advanced practice providers were encouraged to address PVQ responses during clinic appointments. Patient acceptability surveys were sent to PVQ respondents and clinicians were interviewed to assess feasibility and acceptability. PVQ response rate was 225/383 (59%); 29% of all patients had an established cancer diagnosis. Clinicians deemed preoperative GOC documentation important and the PVQ valuable to prepare for unexpected postoperative complications. Accessing questionnaire responses through the EHR was a technical barrier. Clinicians agreed that GOC should be addressed after diagnosis and treatment discussions, but before surgery. Ninety percent of patients felt comfortable discussing GOC at their first clinic appointment. Patient portals facilitate preoperative GOC documentation, however, clarifying and integrating values into care require ongoing discussions between clinicians and patients. Optimal timing of GOC elicitation is posttreatment planning and before surgery when the patient is most informed.
