Yuliya Gimayeva, Anastasia Rodina — Fri, 29 Dec 2023 00:00:00 +0000

The article presents a study of the relationship between personal maturity and procrastination in young men and women who are senior students. It was found that in half of men and 42% of women, irrational procrastination is expressed at an average level. Almost a third of women and men have medium-high and high levels of procrastination. On average, young people have achieved a satisfactory overall level of personal maturity. A total of 86% percent of young men achieved an acceptable level of personal maturity (satisfactory and high), among women such part is approximately two-thirds. However, the share of students with an unsatisfactory level of personal maturity is relatively large, among women one third of them. Achievement motivation in men and sense of civic duty in women are presented at a level closer to high. Inverse correlations were obtained between irrational procrastination and self-actualization traits as a sign of personal maturity. There are correlations common to men and women, as well as specific ones. In general, higher procrastination among students is correlated with a limited orientation on self-actualization values and weak synergy. In women, irrational procrastination is inversely correlated to autonomy from external influences, flexibility of behavior, sensitivity to oneself, synergy. In men, procrastination is inversely correlated to self-control.

The article presents the results of a study devoted to the description of the socio-psychological characteristics of students with disabilities, which influence the success of adaptation to learning in higher education institutions, and also establishes the factor structure of socio-psychological adaptation to learning of students in this category. Two groups of subjects were compared: adapted and less adapted students. As a result of the study, it was found that adapted students with disabilities are characterized by developed social and communicative competencies, orientation towards professional growth and a career in the future against the backdrop of a significant decrease in intellectual and cognitive skills motives expressed in the desire for knowledge and mastery of a profession. Factor structure of socio-psychological adaptation of adapted students with disabilities represents an adequately developed personal-communicative potential, assimilative adaptation to the student group with the goal of overcoming existential needs and a specific manifestation of activity aimed at supporting self-conceptual integrity.

The Relationship Between Intra-Group Status and Propensity for Conformity in the Process of Forming Group Norms

Valentina Pavlenko — Fri, 29 Dec 2023 00:00:00 +0000

The question of the relationship between the intragroup status of a group member and the degree of his conformity remains unresolved. Proponents of the idea of "middle-status conformity" tend to view low-status members as weakly susceptible to social influence, while their opponents - the most conforming part of the group. An experimental study of this problem became the purpose of this article. 74 students of the 4th senior (8-11) grades took part in it. The following methods were used: a specially designed experiment to study the process of formation of group norms, sociometry and referentometry. The obtained results did not confirm the idea of middle status conformity. At the same time, the hypothesis of the existence of a significant negative relationship between intragroup status and susceptibility to group influence was confirmed. Leaders are characterized by stability of opinion and immutability of position, while low-status members are characterized by pronounced fluctuations in assessments and opinions. It is shown that with age, the revealed relationship between in-group status and the degree of susceptibility to social influence increases. The conclusions drawn are limited to natural, long-established and well-structured groups; physical characteristics in a situation of uncertainty as an object of assessment; definition of intragroup status as a combination of sociometric status with referentiality; conforming behavior in the form of internalization.

Iryna Kryazh — Fri, 29 Dec 2023 00:00:00 +0000

The article presents the results of the development and standardization of the "Belief in the Power of Money Scale" methodology. The scale consists of 10 statements, which are evaluated according to the degree of agreement with each item from 1 to 7 points. 563 people (24.01±11.95 years old), among whom 198 are male carriers, were involved in the standardization of the methodology and the collection of relevant norms on the domestic sample; 365 - female. Psychodiagnostic methods: the scale of subjective well-being by H. Peruye-Badu, the scale of satisfaction with life by Diener, the scale of belief in a just world by C. Dalbert, the scale of belief in the power of money by I. Kryazh. The most important of the social attitudes for the subjective well-being of the subjects is the belief in the justice of the world for the person himself. This applies to emotional and cognitive parameters of well-being. However, in contrast to life satisfaction, emotional comfort is more affected by the negative effect of belief in the power of money. During the analysis of the psychometric indicators of the adapted version of the technique, its content and construct validity were checked; reliability and coherence of its points; in addition, test norms for the Ukrainian-speaking sample were obtained. Test norms were determined separately for groups of men and women.
