Aim. The article reports the data of a longitudinal study investigating the cause-and-effect relationships between conscious self-regulation and career adaptability as general psychological and professionally oriented regulatory resources of a person. The main aim of the study was to study the cause-and-effect relations between the conscious self-regulation and career adaptability in the course of senior schoolchildren’s training, using Russian schools as a sample.

Methodology. 110 Russian schoolchildren took part in a two-wave longitudinal study with an interval of one year in the period of their schooling in the 10th to 11th grades. In each study they were requested to fill in the questionnaire "Self-Regulation Profile Questionnaire – SRPQM 2020" by V.I. Morosanova and the Russian version of the "Career Adaptability Scale" by M. Savikas. The analysis of the collected data was carried out using IBM SPSS Statistics 26 and the R programming language environment.

Results. The dynamics of conscious self-regulation and career adaptability was shown in a sample of Russian schoolchildren at the stage of their education in the 10th and 11th grades. The study confirmed the stability of connections between the conscious self-regulation and career adaptability. The data analysis has revealed the indirect cross-longitudinal effects in the cause-and-effect relationships between the conscious self-regulation and career adaptability.

Research implications. The theoretical significance of the study is determined by its involvement in developing the fundamental scientific ideas about conscious self-regulation of a per- son in ontogenesis and its focus on identifying the psychological factors that contribute to the professional self-development of a person. The practical significance of the study is related to the diagnostic programs development, development and support of professionally oriented resources of students in the situation of choosing a profession in high school as well as formation of their readiness to master the chosen specialty in higher educational institutions.

Aim of this work is to identify and study the relationship of the general emotional orientation with irrational attitudes and mechanisms of psychological defenses.

Methodology. In the empirical study the following methods were used: the test questionnaire "Emotional Orientation" by B.I. Dodonova; method of diagnosing irrational attitudes by A. Ellis; test questionnaire "Life Style Index" by R. Plutchik, G. Kellerman, H. R. Conte adapted by L. I. Wasserman, O. F. Erysheva, E. B. Club. Statistical data processing was performed using Spearman's rank correlation method.

Results. The results indicate the presence of an inverse relationship between the general emotional orientation and psychological defenses. We believe that most types of emotional orientation can be attributed to personal resources for overcoming stress. Thus, emotions experienced in the process of cognition, communication, disinterested help to other people, contemplation of objects of art or nature, can create a positive emotional mood that is conducive to reducing excessive stress and the severity of psychoprotections, thus increasing the adaptive capabilities of a person. The exceptions were hedonistic and romantic emotional orientations, which showed a direct connection with denial. The desire to mystify the surrounding reality and indulge in exclusively sensual pleasures can lead to a loss of contact with objective reality. This fact calls into question the absolute value of positive emotions, if they are due to the non-constructive life position of the individual. No stable links were found between the general emotional orientation and irrational attitudes. The exception was the aesthetic emotional orientation, which showed the presence of inverse conjugation with the psychoprotective projection and irrational attitudes of the "obligation towards other people" group. An attempt was made to theoretically comprehend the relationship obtained, as a result of which it was concluded that the aesthetic emotional orientation can be a factor in the cognition of the surrounding reality, the formation of a more complete and holistic picture of the world and the harmonization of relationships with other people.

Research implications. The results obtained in the study expand the understanding of the emotional sphere of a person and the determinants of his behavior, revealing the nature of the relationship of emotional orientation with psychological defense mechanisms and irrational attitudes. The results of the empirical study can be used in the practical activities of a psychologist in order to form productive strategies for self-realization, taking into account the leading type of emotional orientation, reduce the severity of irrational attitudes, as well as to develop recommendations for increasing the level of adaptation of the individual to various situations and maintaining psychological health.

Aim. To determine the role of empathy and tolerance for uncertainty in the preference for emotional reasons for decision making and choosing pro-social behavior on the material of verbal tasks in a cross-cultural comparison of Chinese and Russian participants.

Methodology. Participants of the study: Chinese sample (N=44), Russian sample (N=50). Methods: 1) verbal tasks for personal choice, 2) questionnaire of Cognitive and Affective Empathy (QCAE) in Russian adaptation, 3) Badner uncertainty tolerance scale.

Results. Different predictors of the choice of alternatives by the participants in the Chinese and Russian samples are associated with an orientation towards interpersonal relationships. The choice of pro-social behavior depends on the level of affective empathy, the cognitive empathy subscale being a predictor of egocentric behavior choice.

Research implications. The results of the study contribute to the development of ideas about the empathic component of personal choice regulation.

Aim. Development and justification of the installation model of resentment.

Methodology. The methodological basis of the study was a categorical-systematic approach, in which qualitative modeling was used, namely, a morphological modeling method that allows finding an innovative solution to a scientific problem with conscious reference to already existing partial solutions – the mainstays of knowledge in the field under study.

Results. A new model of understanding resentment has been developed, which allows overcoming the methodological and theoretical limitations currently available in psychological science in its study.

Research implications. On the basis of the developed installation model of resentment, its further operationalization is possible, as well as the study of the relationship of resentment with other elements of the dispositional system of personality. Besides, the obtained scientific result allows practicing psychologists to more effectively implement their professional activities in working with clients. This is expressed in the ability to correctly combine methods of cognitive behavioral therapy with traditional methods of dealing with resentment as an emotion in the course of helping clients on this request. Thus, not only the correction of the emotional state of the client is realized, but also the prevention of possible resentments in the future.

Aim. To study psychological resources and patterns of personal and professional development of the polysubject community "teacher – student" at the stage of transition from secondary education to higher education (school, university, professional activity) in conditions of combined online and offline learning.

Methodology. A theoretical-empirical study was conducted, which consisted of three stages: the first and second stages – ascertaining, the third stage – forming (longitudinal study 2018–2022). The study involved 605 respondents. Theoretical, diagnostic, statistical methods were applied.

Results. The results are obtained on the psychological patterns of personal and professional development of the polysubject community in school and university, general and special in polysubject interactions. The factors and conditions contributing to and hindering the creation of a polysubject community "teacher – student" and psychological resources (developed programs) aimed at preventing and overcoming continuity crises in ensuring the personal and professional development of students at the stage of transition school-university, university-professional activity are identified and investigated.

Research implications. Transformations have been carried out at the target, content, and technological levels of psychological training of future teachers. The effectiveness of the implemented technology and training programs allow us to recommend them for implementation in the professional training of teachers of all forms and levels of education.

Aim. Verification of the “Self-realization Research Questionnaire” developed by M. R. Ginsburg (M. R. Ginsburg, 1996) as a psychodiagnostic method for determining young students’ readiness for active self-determination and self-realization.

Methodology. “Questionnaire of self-realization research” (M. R. Ginsburg, 1996), aimed at identifying the creative and reproductive attitudes of young men and women; “Questionnaire of professional attitudes of teenagers” (I. M. Kondakov, 1989); Questionnaire “Emotional attitude to the future” (M. R. Ginsburg, 1996). The study involved high school students (grades 10-11) and first-year college students aged 16-18, in all of 412 (176 boys and 236 girls). Statistical analysis of the data was carried out using exploratory factor analysis, α-Cronbach's internal consistency coefficient, and Spearman's rank correlation coefficients. The received materials were processed using the statistical package SPSS 23.0.

Results. It is shown that the “Self-realization Research Questionnaire” developed by M. R. Ginzburg actually reveals not the levels of creative or reproductive attitude to self-realization, but the measure of the activity-passivity of the subject in the context of self-determination. The questionnaire modified by us in terms of processing and interpreting the results of the study can become a full-fledged psychodiagnostic tool in the work of practical psychologists on the professional self-determination of early adolescence students in the post-industrial economy. Considering the subject's own activity as an important condition for successful self-realization, we called the technique "Questionnaire of activity in self-realization".

Research implications. The practical significance is determined by the demand of modern society for updating and creating modern tools for studying the readiness for professional and life self-determination of students of early adolescence in the post-industrial economy.

Aim. Identification of the relationship between students' perspectives of self-directed learning trajectory and their psychological characteristics.

Methodology. The sample included 67 first- and final-year undergraduate students. Research methods and data analysis were the following: «Self-regulation profile questionnaire – SRPQM» (V. I. Morosanova), «Self-attitude test questionnaire» (V. V. Stolin, S. R. Panteleev), psychodiagnostic technique for self-assessment of the ability to self-education and self-development, questionnaire «Students’ perspectives of self-directed learning trajectory» (D. S. Gnedykh, Yu. A. Khamaganova); correlation analysis.

Results. The completeness of perspectives of self-directed learning trajectory among 1st-year students correlates with the ability to self-regulation, among 4th-year students – with selfattitude, and regardless of the year of study – with self-belief, the desire for self-knowledge, and self-assessment of the ability to self-education and self-development.

Research implications. The results can be used by psychologists in accompanying the educational process at the university.

Aim of this work is to create an author's methodology that allows you to predict the effectiveness of a potential mediator in a conflict situation.

Methodology. As part of the study, participants were asked to solve two cases describing conflict situations according to specific instructions. To assess the validity of the developed methodology, the method of "contrast groups" was used, and to assess its reliability, the method of "retesting" was used.

Results. The data obtained showed that the constructed efficiency index can be a significant way in psychological research to measure the effectiveness of a potential mediator in a conflict situation, which allows us to evaluate the qualitative and quantitative indicators of his work.

Theoretical and/or practical significance. This study complements the understanding of the actual role of mediation as a type of mediation activity. The factors of the effectiveness of the mediation procedure in the work of the mediator are analyzed. A methodology has been sub[1]stantiated and created to assess the effectiveness of a potential mediator in a conflict situation.

Aim. To study the main characteristics of child-parent interaction of adolescents from large families.

Methodology. The data of an empirical study of parent-child interaction between adolescents aged 12 to 17 years (boys and girls) from large families (families with three to seven children) using the "Parent-Child Interaction" methodology by I.M. Markovskaya. The characteristics of intra-family interaction were identified and analyzed according to the estimates of boys and girls aged 12 to 17 from large families in Moscow region. The results were processed using the SPSS.17 program.

Results. According to adolescents from large families, the following characteristics of parent-child interaction were found: undemanding, softness, i.e. the absence of harsh measures applied to children, emotional closeness to the parent, acceptance of the child's personal qualities, the presence of cooperation and consistency in interaction with mothers. Adolescents from large families give a positive assessment of the authority of their mothers and are satisfied with their relationship with them. The degree of severity of the average values of the interaction characteristics of adolescents from large families, both boys and girls, does not differ at the statistical level.

Research implications. The results of the study will serve as a basis for further study of child-parent interaction in various types of families in order to develop strategies for providing socio-psychological assistance to dysfunctional families and, as a result, will help improve the psychosocial functioning of families in difficult life situations, as well as increase the growth of full-fledged large families.

Aim. Identification of the relationship between interpersonal tolerance indicators and uncertainty with indicators of existential fulfillment, social anxiety and frustration among students.

Procedure and methods. The psychodiagnostic procedure was carried out using the following methods: "New questionnaire of tolerance-intolerance to uncertainty" by T. V. Kornilova; a test of existential motivations by V. B. Shumsky and others; a questionnaire of social anxiety and social phobia" by O. A. Sagalakova and D. V. Truevtsev; “Methodology of diagnosing the social frustration level " by L. I. Wasserman modified by V. V. Boyko. The normality of the distribution was checked using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov normality criterion with the correction of Lilyfors; correlation analysis was performed using Pearson's r-criterion.

Results. Among students the following was revealed: dominant desire to build controlled interpersonal relationships in which uncertainty is undesirable, and for a significant part of the subjects it is unacceptable; moderate level of existential fulfillment, the dominant component in the structure of which is "self-worth"; an increased level of social anxiety, especially in situations: "To be the center of attention, under supervision" and "Post-situational rumination and the desire to overcome anxiety in expert situations"; low level of social frustration. The interrelation between interpersonal tolerance and uncertainty with three investigated personal characteristics is established.

Theoretical and/or practical significance. The results of the study reflect the relationship between interpersonal tolerance and uncertainty with existential fulfillment, social anxiety and social frustration among students. They can be used to improve the psychological support of students at universities, optimize group training programs so that they contribute to reducing interpersonal tolerance to uncertainty.
