A definition of the separation anxiety concept is given as well as it highlights the process of the anxiety occurrence in psychological development. Based on the theory of the "I-reconstruction" method a new perspective on the separation-individuation development is offered regarding personality constructs such as "desire", "possession", "satisfaction" being formed. The article also provides a description of the behavioral manifestations and psychological characteristics of a person with separation anxiety, as well as a way to overcome it in the psychotherapy process.&nbsp;The problem of separation anxiety in adults is related to the violation of the basic rights of an individual ‘to be’ and ‘to exist’ in the process of separation-individuation, which is reflected in the prohibition of the need to possess&nbsp; own individuality. Realization of the right to possession occurs due to the personal appropriation of a body, behavior and emotions, which enables separation-individuation in development. The attitude to&nbsp; own right to possession is reflected in the fantasies of an individual, which form his\her compensatory behavior in the conditions of the possession right prohibition. The compensatory behavior of a person with separation anxiety takes the form of addictions, eating disorders, frequent diseases, etc. Actualization of the right to possession in the personality structure by the method of "I-reconstruction" is considered as a way of developing healthy behavior patterns, overcoming separation anxiety and forming a stable image of the individual's self.</p> Yuliia Zinchenko Copyright (c) 2024 Yu.

The following research methods and techniques were used: the questionnaire method to assess the motivational and needs sphere of early intervention specialists, assessment of satisfaction of personal&nbsp; needs , emotional-volitional and work spheres of life of RW specialists and the methodology of K. Izard's "Differential Emotion Scale" for analyzing the affective components of activity regulation, reflecting the peculiarities of the subject's motivational attitudes. The study was conducted in August - September 2023. 85 specialists from Kharkiv, Zakarpattia, Odessa, Lviv, Donetsk, Luhansk regions and Vinnytsia city, who work in early intervention, participated in the study.&nbsp;Results. The hierarchy of needs of RW specialists after the start of large-scale Russian aggression was determined. In the first place - obtaining new knowledge about supporting families and children during the war, knowledge about trauma and working with it, then - communication with colleagues, financial and material needs, the need for emotional support to prevent emotional burnout, etc. The positive dynamics of satisfaction of needs in the professional sphere of RW specialists were determined (improved since the beginning of the war): the need for awareness about working with families in a war situation, the ability to integrate new ideas into daily practice, the ability to act creatively and produce new ideas. The greatest positive dynamics in relation to the personal sphere were recorded in relation to the level of energy and activity, the ability to regulate own emotions, satisfaction with ordinary affairs, and the ability to make decisions. The negative dynamics of needs in the personal sphere are associated with understanding the future, a sense of security, and the ability to concentrate.</p> Hanna Kukuruza, Olena Bliznyuk, Serhiy Tsylyuryk Copyright (c) 2024 H.

Shahnawaz, U. Rehman Social Networking Addiction Scale) https://periodicals.karazin.ua/psychology/article/view/24746 <p>The article presents the results of adapting the Social Networking Addiction Scale (M.G. Shahnawaz, U. Rehman) for use in Ukrainian samples of subjects. It is defined that social networking sites are virtual communities, where participants create individual public profiles to communicate with friends, meet people, and show their life stories. It is shown that immersion in the online environment can lead to addiction to social networks, which requires studying. The Ukrainian version of the questionnaire included 11 items that allow measuring social network addiction by such factors as “Salience”, “Withdrawal” and “Conflict”.&nbsp;The sample consisted of 382 individuals (210 women and 172 men) aged 18 to 64 years. The survey was conducted using Google Forms with informed consent from the subjects to participate and process the results.&nbsp;The validation included checking the factor structure of the original questionnaire using confirmatory factor analysis (with the DWLS estimator); determining the internal consistency of the methodology factors using Cronbach’s α coefficient; checking the construct validity of the questionnaire (connection with the Internet Addiction Test by K. Young and the Addictive Behavior Propensity Scale); and determining its retest reliability using Spearman's correlation analysis.&nbsp;The indicators of social media addiction were compared, taking into account gender; their relationship with the age of the subjects was also analyzed. The results of the adaptation proved the suitability of the questionnaire for use on Ukrainian samples of subjects.</p> Pavlo Sevostianov, Svitlana Yanovskaya, Rimma Turenko, Darіa Pyvovar Copyright (c) 2024 Sevostianov P., Yanovskaya S., Turenko R., Pyvovar D. https://periodicals.karazin.ua/psychology/article/view/24746 Fri, 27 Dec 2024 20:44:25 +0000 Conceptual Model of Mischievousness Development as a Component of Game Competence https://periodicals.karazin.ua/psychology/article/view/24747 <p>This article presents the development of a conceptual model of&nbsp; mischievousness development as a component of playfulness/game competence, which is an important contribution to modern psychology. Mischievousness is considered as a key element that integrates a number of psychological characteristics, such as gaming competence, emotional intelligence, creativity, and flexibility of personality traits in social interactions, which contribute to successful social adaptation and effective management of interpersonal conflicts. An important characteristic of mischievousness is the ability to act "on the verge of foul" - balancing between straightforwardness (aggression) and politeness (fear), which allows you to effectively maneuver in social interactions and resolve conflicts in situations where the risk of violating social norms is high.</p> <p>The model consists of three main components: motivational-goal, which determines the main guidelines for the development of mischievousness; process-activity, which covers activities to develop key psychological characteristics and integral qualities inherent in mischievousness; and reflective-resultative, which is aimed at analyzing achievements and results of self-development. Special attention is paid to mastering specific psychotechniques that help develop key psychological characteristics and integral qualities necessary for successful management of interpersonal interactions and conflicts. The proposed model integrates cognitive, emotional and behavioral components, emphasizing the importance of mischievousness as a tool for social adaptation, creative self-expression and effective conflict management in various social contexts.&nbsp;The selection of appropriate psychodiagnostic techniques based on this model opens up new opportunities for empirical research on mischievousness and the development of diagnostic tools that will allow for a deeper understanding and assessment of mischievousness in various cultural contexts.&nbsp;Further research is focused on studying specific psychotechniques and strategies used by individuals with a high level of mischievousness to effectively manage social interactions and conflicts.</p> Serhii Bezkorovainyi, Iya Gordienko-Mitrofanova, Sergey Sauta Copyright (c) 2024 Bezkorovainyi S., Gordienko-Mitrofanova I.

The results indicate that both younger and more experienced couples demonstrate a high level of empathy components. Empathy plays an essential role in the quality of marital relationships, but its impact is ambiguous. In younger couples, a high level of empathy is&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; connected with a desire for emotional intimacy and a fear of losing their partner. In contrast, in couples with longer marital experience, empathy contributes to stability and trust but reduces the pursuit of autonomy. Women in the initial stages of relationships tend to experience a stronger emotional bond, yet their satisfaction with the relationships decreases over time, whereas men’s satisfaction increases in the later stages of relationships. In younger couples, empathy is associated with a desire for support and emotional engagement, while in more experienced couples, it is connected to the ability to consider the partner's viewpoint. The research also found that a high level of empathy can either enhance or reduce marital satisfaction, depending on the length of marriage and other factors.</p> Valentyna Pavlenko, Krystyna Krasnikova Copyright (c) 2024 Pavlenko V., Krasnikova K. https://periodicals.karazin.ua/psychology/article/view/24748 Fri, 27 Dec 2024 21:28:21 +0000
