Volitional Regulation Research Articles

Карьерная ориентация «профессиональная компетентность» как фактор успешного освоения роли врача студентами медицинских специальностей

Introduction. The article reflects the results of the study that made it possible to identify the connection between subjective personality traits and the severity of career orientation, manifested in the desire to improve their knowledge and skills in the chosen field among medical university students. The maturity of the studied career motivation can be an important factor determining the success of future doctors mastering role-related professional behavior. Theoretical analysis. The results of modern research allow us to talk about the importance of the formation of a career orientation “professional competence” for the successful self-realization of young doctors, but do not reveal the features of its relationship with the structural components of the subjective organization of an individual in the conditions of interpersonal interaction. Empirical analysis. Connections were found between motivation for self-improvement in the chosen professional activity, the ability to exercise self-control in communication conditions, as well as manifested ego positions in communication and self-regulation styles. Conclusion. The formation of a career orientation “professional competence” can be an important factor in the successful development of professional role behavior by medical students, subject to the actualization of subjective properties in the conditions of interpersonal interaction: volitional regulation of behavior, the optimal combination of required and demonstrated behavior in communication, the use of optimal styles of self-regulation and interaction strategies.

Влияние травматических переживаний на психологическую безопасность личности обучающихся в контексте террористической угрозы

<p>The article presents the results of a study of the impact of traumatic experiences on the psychological safety of the personality of students. The subjects were 70 students (21 boys and 49 girls) of the college of the Belgorod region. The study revealed that students who have experienced traumatic events are most often associated with the experience of being in a war zone and the death of a loved one. Criteria C (avoidance of stimuli), D (increasing arousal), and B (repetitive reproduction of a traumatic event) were among the most pronounced criteria for traumatic experiences among students. Girls are more susceptible to the negative effects of stress than boys. The results of the correlation analysis confirmed the hypothesis that traumatic experiences violate the psychological security of a person, including all its structural components: moral and volitional regulation (normativity), strategies for coping with stressful situations, value-semantic factor and post-traumatic growth. The psychological safety of girls is most strongly influenced by the symptom of impaired functioning of important areas of life (criterion F), and boys are influenced by recurring memories of trauma (criterion B), constant increasing arousal (criterion D) and immediate response to a traumatic event (criterion A).</p>

Изменения в содержании и структуре жизненных проектов учащихся в обучающем рефлексивном диалоге

<p>This article discusses the problem of developing new teaching methods that are based on the use of reflexive technologies. One of the key components of these technologies is systemic reflection as a condition for the realization of personal potential. The paper contains a brief overview of theoretical, methodological and applied developments in the field of studying the phenomenon of reflection in Russian psychological science, which serve as a theoretical basis for the development of reflexology. The main conditions of the organization of reflexive dialogue, the principles of its construction, the necessary structural components and a summary of the author's development - the reflexive training "Life project of the individual" are described. The author's development - refletrening "Life project of personality" contains a description of the basic conditions of its organization, the principles of construction and the necessary structural components. The results of an empirical study of the influence of educational reflexive dialogue on the formation of students' life projects are presented. The use of reflexive practices (reflexive training) in reflexive dialogue for building life projects in adolescents is also justified. It has been empirically established that changes in the structure and content of life projects are noted equally in all subjects, regardless of their personal characteristics, but more likely in students with high scores on such personal characteristics as orientation in time (understanding the existential value of life), creative attitude to life (creativity), autosympathy, contact, systemic reflection", volitional regulation of behavior (control-naturalness), the level of general reflexivity, the appropriation of socially significant roles, the availability of experiences, openness to new experiences and self-assessment of metacognitive activity.</p>

Особенности волевой регуляции поведения у осужденных женщин, имеющих наркотическую зависимость

The article presents a study of the features of volitional self-regulation of convicted women with drug addiction in conditions of social isolation. The purpose of the study was to study the characteristics of volitional regulation of convicted women with drug addiction. The subject of the study is the peculiarities of volitional regulation of convicted women with drug addiction. The hypothesis of the study is the assumption that the volitional regulation of convicted women with drug addiction differs from the volitional regulation of convicted women who do not have drug addiction. The study was carried out using the following diagnostic tools:
 – a methodology for studying stylistic self-regulation of behavior (SSP) aimed at the emotional-volitional sphere;
 – the methodology for studying volitional regulation (VVR) is aimed at studying the emotional-volitional and motivational-need spheres of the individual;
 – the “Volitional Personality Qualities Questionnaire” (VQL) technique designed to assess the volitional qualities of an individual.
 60 respondents took part in the study. The subjects were divided into two groups. 30 convicted women with drug addiction were selected for the experimental group. The control group consisted of 30 convicted women who did not have drug addiction.
 The results obtained during the study indicate that convicted women with drug addiction are extremely dependent on the opinions and assessments of others, are unable to independently develop plans and programs of action, and often and uncritically follow other people’s advice. In the absence of outside help, they inevitably experience regulatory failures. The stylistic features of self-regulation of activity reveal uncertainty in a rapidly changing environment; they have great difficulty getting used to changes in life and are extremely dependent on the opinions and assessments of others. They also have a reduced ability to consciously overcome obstacles on the path to their goals and conflict-free behavior; they are characterized by low initiative, independence, suggestibility, and dependence on the opinions of groups.

Psychological Self-Regulation and Its Importance for the Intrinsic Motivation, Psychological Well-Being and Performance in Sport

Self-regulation is one of the main resources contributing to the productive realization of activity and getting satisfaction from life. The aim of the study was to investigate the role of different aspects of self-regulation in the development of intrinsic motivation to practice sports and the level of life satisfaction in athletes. To study different aspects of self-regulation, the «Self-Government Test» of J. Kuhl and A. Fuhrman was used. To study the level of intrinsic motivation «The Sport Motivation Scale» was used. The «Life Satisfaction Scale» and «The Negative and Positive Emotion Scale» by E. Diener were used to test the degree of life satisfaction. The research involved 178 athletes aged from 17 to 33 years (M = 19,38; SD = 1,88), having titles from junior to Master of Sports International Class. Regression analysis showed that aspects of self-regulation such as planning, sensitivity to own values and emotional regulation in athletes contribute to a higher level of life satisfaction. A comparison of groups with different levels of self-regulation showed that athletes with higher levels of self-regulation skill are characterized by a more stable internal motivation to do sports and less expression of negative experiences; they experience positive emotions more often. In addition, it has been demonstrated that the most developed indicators of volitional regulation are characteristic of athletes at the initial and professional level of skill, as compared to those who are at the intermediate stage. Thus, self-regulation is one of the most important resources of athletes, important not only for their professional performance, but for a sense of well-being and life satisfaction.

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.

Проблемы квалификации преступлений, совершенных в состоянии аффекта

A significant role in the qualification of crimes under Articles 107 and 113 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation is played by the emotional state of the offender at the time of the assault. The article provides clear definitions and basic criteria of affect as a psychological and criminal-legal category. For an unmistakable and accurate determination of the mental state of the subject of the privileged corpus delicti, it is necessary to apply psychological knowledge about the causes and mechanisms of the occurrence and course of affect in criminal law. Psychological knowledge indicates a narrowing of consciousness and thought processes, a weakening of volitional regulation of behavior in a state of passion and, most importantly, emphasizes the connection of the response of the guilty with the unlawful behavior of the victim, explaining this by psychophysiological features, subsequent experiences of the guilty about the act committed in a state of passion in the form of regret for what happened. For a comprehensive investigation and accurate qualification of each individual crime in court proceedings, it is the first interrogations, witness statements and collected documents that are important. To confirm the state of affect, it is important for a forensic expert to carefully delve into the details preceding the commission of a crime (the presence of a traumatic situation) during the initial interrogation. The main thing is not to waste time, long breaks in time from the moment of the crime to the examination of the perpetrator reduce the likelihood of establishing the actual condition of the person, therefore psychologists and law enforcement officers should work together.

DIFFERENCES IN STUDENTS' VOLITIONAL REGULATION AND WILLPOWER ACCORDING TO EDUCATIONAL DIRECTIONS

This article provides theoretical information about will and volitional regulation. Through our research, a study was conducted to study the will regulation and will power of students studying in different educational fields. The general differences in the level of subjective control and willpower of the students of each course were studied, and their results were recorded in the article. According to the results, the students of natural science recorded high indicators according to two methods.

Особенности самосознания лиц с высоким уровнем тревожности

<p>The article examines the individual components and characteristics of self-awareness to expand the potential of the counseling work of a psychologist with the problem of high personal anxiety. We assume that statistically significant differences in the severity of individual parameters of self-awareness exist in groups of people with different levels of anxiety. The study participants are 125 people between the ages of 20 and 30. The aim of the research is to study the structural and content characteristics of self-awareness in persons with a high level of anxiety during early adulthood. It was revealed that the cognitive-emotional component of self-awareness is expressed at the average level. The tendency towards the development of internal maladjustment is noticeable with an increase in the level of anxiety. In the behavioral component of self-awareness decreases self-regulation, the general level of volitional regulation, perseverance and self-control, modeling and programming with an increase in anxiety. Planning and self-reliance are the most formed processes. They act as coping strategies to reduce anxiety levels. The hypothesis is confirmed.</p>

Особенности волевой регуляции у тувинцев в условиях урбанизации общества

<p>The article presents the results of a study of the features of volitional regulation among representatives of various generations of Tuvans living in the urban and rural regions. The study involved 773 people from Erzin (185 people), Mugur-Aksa (266 people), Kyzyl (173 people) and Moscow (149 people). Age of respondents: from 18 to 22 years old (203 people), from 23 to 35 years old (184 people), from 36 to 60 years old (223 people), over 61 years old (163 people). To evaluate the individual characteristics of volitional regulation in the respondents, the following techniques were used: the “Action Control Scale” by J. Kuhl; the "Questionnaire for revealing the expression of self-control in the emotional sphere, activity and behavior"; the technique for self-assessment of volitional traits; the Purpose in Life Test. Representatives of the older and younger generations differ significantly from each other in terms of behavioral self-control, self-assessments of the volitional qualities of the individual, and the PLT test. The greatest differences in will indicators between generations are observed among residents of Moscow. The results of a one-dimensional analysis of variance allow us to conclude that the differences in the indicators of volitional regulation are due to differences in the indicators of the PLT test.</p>

Structure, place, and clinical efficacy of the interactive brain therapy (stimulation) technology in cerebrovascular diseases

Highlights.Interactive brain stimulation is the next step in neurofeedback technology, it implies the possibility of volitional regulation of the hemodynamic response of specific brain region in order to transform entire brain network and obtain the desired clinical and behavioral dynamics in patients (subjects). One of the indications for using the technology is post-stroke movements disorders when the volitional influence is focused on the motor area of the brain.Background.Neurofeedback and closely related concepts of neural interface system and “interactive brain” are considered as the foundation for developing algorithms for controlling neuroplasticity. Interactive brain therapy (stimulation) is a recently developed type of neurofeedback therapy, which implies dependence of feedback on a hemodynamic response signal recorded by functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). The technology focuses on the region of interest with good accuracy and enables teaching the subject to control the activity of both individual cerebral structures and the functional connectivity between them, causing behavioral metamorphoses.Aim.To demonstrate the study design involving interactive stimulation of secondary motor areas of the brain using a bimodal fMRI-electroencephalography platform, and to describe the dynamics of the motor networks during treatment in patients with hemiparesis in the early period of recovery from stroke.Methods.The study involved 11 patients who were trained to regulate the activity of the secondary motor area and premotor cortex of the affected hemisphere, receiving feedback on the fMRI signal and the activity of the mu- (8–13 Hz) and beta2 (18–26 Hz) EEG ranges of the areas of interest. The block-designed training consisted of 6 sessions (imagination of movement – rest) with an interval of 2–3 days. During treatment the dynamics of the hemodynamic response of the areas of interest was analyzed. In test sessions (before treatment, immediately after the end, and six months later) functional connections within the motor network were reconstructed and hand function was assessed (grip strength, Fugle-Meyer Assessment, Box and Blocks test).Results.Upon completion of treatment, an increase in grip strength and dexterity was achieved; there was an increase in the fMRI signal of the premotor cortex of the ipsilateral hemisphere, and a strengthening of the interhemispheric functional connectivity of the secondary motor areas.Conclusion.fMRI and the interactive brain therapy technology built on its basis, on the one hand, provide the technological foundation for the “interactive brain” and the transformation of spontaneous neuroplasticity into a controlled one, and on the other hand, serve as an important tool for monitoring the process of restructuring of cerebral networks after a stroke, providing the ability to record the emergence (or disappearance) of connectivity between brain regions, and to measure its strength in dynamics, that is, to give a numerical description of neuroplasticity.

Взаимосвязь волевой регуляции и прокрастинации у студентов

<p>The article is aims to clarify the features of relationship between volitional regulation and procrastination. The results of an empirical study obtained on a student sample are presented. The study involved 1-4 years university students of Lomonosov Moscow State University (N=304) from sociology, chemistry and mechanics and mathematics faculties (average age 19.58 years old, st. dev. 1.57). The following techniques were used: the formalized self-rating technique of V.A. Ivannikov, E.V. Aidman, "Action Control Scale" by J. Kuhl in adaptation of S.А. Shapkin, Purpose in life test of Crumbaugh and Maholick in adaptation of D.A. Leontiev and General procrastination scale (C. Lay) in adaptation of O.S. Vindecker and M.V. Ostanina. The results show that students with more developed volitional regulation are less prone to procrastination. There were no significant differences in the indicators of volitional regulation and procrastination between students of different courses and faculties.</p>

Связь особенностей этнической идентичности и условий жизни и состояния волевой регуляции у тувинцев

<p>The article presents the results of a study of the correlation of living conditions and ethnic identity on the state of volitional regulation among Tuvans living in various regions of the Russian Federation. The study involved 431 people aged 18 to 45 from Erzin (185 people), Kyzyl (141 people) and Moscow (105 people). To evaluate the individual characteristics of volitional regulation in the respondents, the following techniques were used: the Action Control Scale by J. Kuhl; the "Questionnaire for revealing the expression of self-control in the emotional sphere, activity and behavior"; the technique for self-assessment of volitional qualities; the Purpose in Life Test. The features of ethnic identity were evaluated using the “Types of Ethnic Identity” technique (by S.V. Ryzhova, G.U. Soldatova). The results of a one-way ANOVA allow us to conclude that the differences in the state of volitional regulation among Tuvans living in rural and urban settlements in the case of the "Action control scale" and social self-control are due mainly to the characteristics of the ethnic identity of the respondents, and in the case of emotional and behavioral self-control - peculiarities of ethnic identity of the respondents and living conditions in the region.</p>

Взаимосвязь волевых качеств и образа жизни у жителей Тувы, проживающих в сельской местности и городах

Background. The paper presents the results of research into the features of volitional regulation among Tuvans living in rural areas and cities. Objectives. The study had its purpose to test the hypothesis about the relationship of volitional regulation with the characteristics of the lifestyle and semantic sphere of the respondents. Methods: “Action Control Scale”, “Questionnaire for identifying the severity of self-control in the emotional sphere, activity, and behavior”, PIL test, and the author's ad hoc questionnaire for studying the lifestyle characteristics. Sample. Tuvans living in Erzin (185 people), in Mugur-Aksy (265 people), in Kyzyl (172 people), and in Moscow (105 people) were compared. In total, the study involved 727 people aged 18 to 79 years, 466 women and 261 men. Results. It is shown that Tuvans living in rural vs urban areas assess their lifestyle differently. Rural residents are significantly more likely (p = 0.01) to assess their way of life as traditional whereas urban residents consider their lifestyle as modern (p = 0.01). MANOVA revealed the significant differences between the compared groups in all indicators of volitional regulation. Сovariance analysis showed that these differences are due to the lifestyle characteristics as well as the features of the respondents’ semantic sphere. The data processing obtained significant effects of the PIL test indicators and lifestyle characteristics for the Action Control Scale (p = 0.01 and p = 0.05, respectively), for emotional self-control (p = 0.01 and p = 0.01), behavioral self-control (p = 0.01 and p = 0.01), and social self-control (p = 0.01 and p = 0.01). Conclusion. The obtained results allow to assume that in the process of modernization/urbanization of Tuvan society, the role of traditions and group experience in the regulation of activity decreases whereas the role of volitional regulation increases.

INTERACTIVE DIGITAL EQUIPMENT IN THE PROGRAM OF COMMUNICATION SKILLS DEVELOPMENT FOR PRESCHOOLERS

The social situation of the development of modern children is signifi cantly transformed due to large-scale digitalization. (Soldatova, Rasskazova, Nestik). In this context, it becomes relevant to develop programs that are based on modern technologies and contribute to environmental development. The goal is to study the development of preschooler’s communication skills in using interactive digital equipment. Research methods and sampling. The program was developed for the “Interactive Sandbox” (LLC PlayStand). The study involved  preschoolers aged -. Research methods included structured observation, according to the criteria by A.M. Shchetinina, M.A. Nikiforova; drawing test by E. Wartegg. Both techniques were carried out before and after the implementation of the program. Main results showed that after the course, for all  observed indicators, the scores increased by .-. points as compared to the fi rst measurement. According to experts, the uneven development of the components of communication skills became apparent: () the motivation to communicate is higher than the communication skills themselves; () the cognitive sphere, which provides the opportunity to build a game, describe and explain the plot, is also better developed than communication skills. According to the Wartegg test, the greatest positive dynamics was observed for four stimuli of the method: No.  - projection of the self-concept, self-confi dence (% of children); No.  - projection of the level of volitional regulation, achievement motivation (%); No.  - projection of the desire for integration (%); No.  - projection of a sense of inner security (%). The proposed program shows signifi cant effectiveness, according to experts. However, the programs infl uenced intrapersonal characteristics that can become the basis for further development of the communication process - self-centering, a sense of security, motivation, the desire for integration rather than the quality and intensity of communication, partner orientation, and empathy.

Интеллектуальное воспитание в процессе подготовки агроинженеров

Intellectual education is an activity aimed at personal development, including such intellectual qualities as competence, creativity, a unique mindset, self-regulation, etc. Intellectual education is an integral part of the education process. The tasks of intellectual education are determined based on students’ intelligence, the level of their compliance with the requirements of professional activity. The authors conducted an empirical study of the peculiarities of mental experience of agricultural engineering students to assess the development of operational characteristics of thinking, determine the relationship between the parameters of intelligence and the level of self-regulation, the correlation of empirical data with the criteria of intellectual education. The study involved 97 students of the Institute of Mechanics and Power Engineering named after V.P. Goryachkin of Russian State Agrarian University - Moscow Timiryazev Agricultural Academy. The results of the empirical study demonstrated a direct relationship between the levels of development of thinking operations and components of volitional regulation of activity. The peculiarity of intellectual development of future agricultural engineers is insufficient formation of a number of intellectual skills, which hinders the formation of intellectual qualities of a professional. To ensure effective and successful engineering activity of graduates (training area 35.03.06 Agroengineering), it is necessary to expand students’ outlook, enrich general mental experience and form a set of professional knowledge, as well as train basic thinking operations.

ІНТЕРНЕТ-ЗАЛЕЖНІСТЬ ДОРОСЛИХ КОРИСТУВАЧІВ ТА МОЖЛИВОСТІ ЇЇ ПРОФІЛАКТИКИ

The authors of the article analyzed the essence of Internet addiction as a modern socio-psychological phenomenon, which was formed with the emergence of a new moderator of social relations - the Internet. Internet addiction is qualified as a multi-vector socio-psychological phenomenon and a factor that: 1) affects the consciousness, emotional state, physical health and behavior of people of different ages; 2) is a type of non-chemical addiction, which is equally dangerous for the physical and mental health of not only children and youth, but also adults; 3) is a consequence of incompetent use of the Internet and therefore, like any other addiction, requires special correction. Views on the emergence and spread of non-chemical addictions among adult Internet users are analyzed in the works of foreign and domestic scientists. An analysis of interpretations of behavioral types of addiction is given, as well as the main approaches and criteria for their classification. The subtypes of cyber addictions are specified, in particular: addictive Internet surfing (web surfing), phabbing, virtual dating, cybersex (cybersexual addiction), addiction to online gambling (cybernetic ludomania, online ludomania), obsessive need to stay on the Internet (Internet addiction, Internet addiction), gadget addiction, audio or video addiction, television addiction, online gambling, pathological online reading, cyberneomania, selfitis (or selfism). Attention is focused on the fact that addiction (dependency) is an obsessive, unnatural need of a person for something that subjectively has physiological, psychological and psychosocial significance for him (the need for certain mood stimulants, certain unnatural thoughts, emotions and experiences, in certain unnatural actions, etc.). It is shown that Internet addiction is a type of non-chemical psychological addiction, and therefore it is primarily a self-destructive phenomenon of the psyche, which consists in a violation of emotional and volitional regulation. Like any other addiction, addiction to the Internet has a destructive effect on the personality, causes emotional and nervous overload, leads to astheno-neurotic and psycho-emotional disorders and even somatic diseases, disrupts the interpersonal and social communications of addicts. The program and methods of prevention of Internet addiction in adults are outlined. Primary, secondary and tertiary prevention of addictive behavior is considered in detail; special emphasis is placed on the preventive and corrective work of the psychotherapist with persons prone to addiction.
