Abstract

Aim. To analyze the personality characteristics of the victims and initiators included in the bullying structure.
Methodology. With the help of methods and techniques, the following indicators were investigated: to identify the presence and severity of cognitive distortions, the questionnaire of I.S. Luchinkina “Cognitive distortions during Internet communication” was used; the method of V. Boyko was used to diagnose the type of communicative attitude; the “Suicide risk questionnaire” modified by T.N. Razuvaeva designed to diagnose suicide risk.
Results. The results allow us to distinguish three subgroups of adolescents, taking into account their role position in the bullying structure:
1. The group of initiators characterized by cognitive distortions by the type of dichotomous thinking and labeling. According to the parameters of the features of communication with peers and communicative attitudes, open cruelty and justified negativism were revealed. According to the parameters of suicidal intentions, demonstrativeness, the breakdown of cultural barriers, maximalism, and a high anti-suicidal factor were identified.
2. Assistants who are characterized by cognitive distortions of the type of catastrophization. According to the parameters of communicative attitudes, the respondents of this group revealed open cruelty. Maximalism and a high anti-suicidal factor are their characteristic features.
3. Victims who are characterized by cognitive distortions such as dichotomous thinking and emotional reasoning. According to the parameters of communication features, attitudes were found according to the type of open cruelty, justified negativism and negative personal experience. Demonstrativeness, affectivity, uniqueness, the breakdown of cultural barriers and a high anti-suicidal factor are inherent for them.
Research implications. The theoretical and practical significance consists in revealing the problem of bullying prevention in social groups is still relevant, but has not yet been sufficiently studied. Existing approaches usually take into account the peculiarities of the development of the group where bullying cases occur. However, the individual characteristics of a person in a bullying situation are often not taken into account at all or are not taken into account enough. The study of individual personality traits can help in the development of more effective methods of bullying prevention.

Abstract

Aim. To reveal the features of the critical state of a person with a crisis profile.
Methodology. TIn the course of conducting the empirical research, the following methods were used: general theoretical and empirical methods, including the “Experiencing a Psychological Crisis by a Person” questionnaire by S.V. Dukhnovsky, the methodology “Identifying frustration state” by V. V. Boyko, the stress level test by Y. V. Scherbatykh, and the intra-personal conflict level test by A. I. Shipilov. Mathematical methods of statistical processing of information were used, including methods of descriptive statistics and the Mann-Whitney U-criterion to identify significant differences.
Results. As a result of the study, data were obtained on the severity of critical conditions in the research subjects. Based on the results obtained using the questionnaire “Experiencing a Psychological Crisis by a Person” (S. V. Dukhnovsky), two empirical groups were identified: subjects with a pronounced crisis profile and subjects with a weakly pronounced crisis profile. The subjects with a pronounced crisis profile revealed a state of emotional imbalance, a pessimistic and demobilization reaction, a state of disorganization and a negative self-image. It was established that in the group of subjects with high rates of crisis profile, the levels of stress and frustration were more pronounced. Indicators of intrapersonal conflict in both empirical groups are almost at the same level, the differences are not significant.
Research implications. The results obtained in the study expand the understanding of the mental state of an individual and can be used in individual and group counseling work with individuals with a crisis profile. The results of the empirical study can also be used as a basis for developing a program to remove a subject from a psychological crisis, taking into account the severity of his crisis state.

Abstract

Aim. To analyze the relationship between environmental attitudes and values among students in different cultures (using the example of Japan and Russia).
Methodology. A cross-cultural study was conducted at two universities: Ehime University (Japan) (n=147) and Chelyabinsk State University (Russia) (n=223). The main tool was a set of standardized questionnaires.
Results. The results of the study showed that there were no differences in most of values among Japanese and Russian students. At the same time, the factorization of the data revealed differences in the structure of the value systems of students of different cultures both in terms of the number of factors and their severity. It has been established that the younger generation in both countries feels the need to communicate with nature and recognizes itself as a part of it. The correlation analysis revealed the interrelation of ecological attitudes and values in both cultural groups. In the Russian sample, there is a uniform involvement of both tangible and intangible values in these relationships, while in the Japanese sample, intangible values dominate.
Research implications. The results of the study expand the understanding of the cultural determinants of environmental attitudes and behavior. They allow us to outline the directions for solving environmental problems from the perspective of a cultural and axiological approach.

Abstract

Aim. The article is devoted to the study of the phenomenon of corruption phobia among state and municipal employees in the context of the relationship between the state and society. The methodological purpose of the study was the primary validation and (verification of reliability, as well as constructive and convergent validity) and adaptation of an original questionnaire of corruption phobia on a sample of civil servants engaged in combating corruption.
Methodology. The study involved 83 active civil servants engaged in combating corruption in executive authorities (average age is 45.65years; 77.1% of men and 22.9% of women). As the main tool for the study of corruption phobia, an original questionnaire, containing 23 statements with which the respondents were asked to express their degree of agreement on the R. Likert scale, was used. A 5-point corruption awareness questionnaire was used to verify the convergent validity of the corruption phobia questionnaire. In the search for personal determinants of corruption phobia, the 16-point questionnaire “Orientation to Social Dominance” (OSD), which underwent primary adaptation, and a short version of the questionnaire of the dark triad in adaptation by Egorova et al.
Results. The results of the exploratory factor analysis of the data from the study of corruption phobia allowed us to identify 5 factors: 1) the humanitarian costs of fighting corruption; 2) corruption-optimism; 3) reducing the initiative of officials; 4) faith in the power of laws in the fight against corruption and 5) simulation of activity and caution. All the scale factors showed an acceptable level of reliability in terms of internal consistency. During the verification of convergent validity, explicable relationships between the scales of the questionnaire of corruption phobia and the indicators of the questionnaire of orientation to social dominance were found, and correlations of corruption phobia with manifestations of two parameters of the dark triad (Machiavellianism and psychopathy) were also revealed. Russian population is more pessimistic than government officials, assessing the prevalence of corruption in society and the degree of anti-corruption resistance of human nature in its temptation by a corrupt environment. Officials who live in the provinces are more confident that the fight against corruption in Russia is systemic than those who live in megacities. Younger respondents (probably less experienced) are more confident that the majority of Russian corrupt officials have been punished as they deserve. Older civil servants believe that the fight against corruption in Russia forces officials not to take unnecessary initiative and often makes them callous and callous towards people’s problems. Atheistic officials are more confident that the fight against corruption makes officials closed people, as well as that the fight against corruption in Russia leads to a weakening of the initiative of civil servants. Respondents with a low subjective income level are more confident that countering corruption in Russia makes officials want to work more effectively, as well as that the fight against corruption in Russia is systemic. The analysis of correlations between corruption phobia and attitudes towards social dominance showed that respondents who believe that anti-corruption in Russia is being conducted effectively are significantly more likely to advocate egalitarianism, and support for the accusation of officials that they, against the background of the fight against corruption, tend to refuse non-standard requests of the population is significantly related to the idea of rivalry (competition parameter). Machiavellianism and subclinical psychopathy manifested themselves in positive relationships with signs of the “factor of the humanitarian costs of corruption phobia”, which lead officials to ignore the requests of the population (they can make them closed, soulless and callous towards people’s problems; often turn their activities into campaigning, interfering with the implementation of real assistance to the population; mask the interests of individual officials by fighting corruption or their departments). Narcissism turned out to be unrelated to manifestations of corruption phobia.
Research implications. The theoretical significance of the work consists in the further development of the concept of “corruption phobia” based on the empirical material obtained and the relationship of the phenomenon with social dominance and components of the dark triad of personality. The practical significance of the study lies primarily in the fact that the “Questionnaire of corruption phobia” can be a useful tool in the diagnostic arsenal for the study of officials by such specialists as certified psychologists, HR managers with psychological education and graduates of educational programs “Psychology of official activity”.

Ababkov to identify the current level of stress among employees of organizations. Using the method “Assessing personality conflicts” by D.M. Ramendik the level of conflict among employees of organizations was determined. The presence and nature of the relationship were checked through correlation analysis.
Results. The results of the study made it possible to show the predominance of socio-psychological reasons in the emergence of conflicts in work teams, which are caused by the influence of personal psychological (temperament and conflict) and situational (stress) characteristics of employees.
Research implications. The study of conflicts in work collectives and organizations and the factors that cause them is a necessary step towards developing adequate methods and mechanisms for their regulation. Upon completion of the work, the data obtained were provided to the heads of the organizations participating in the study. At the request of the head of MRT-Expert Sochi LLC, a training program was developed, the purpose of which is to achieve conflict-free interaction in work teams.

Abstract

Aim. To analyze the development of the inner position of adults in the context of institutional requirements for students at different stages of their youth.
Methodology. Empirical research was carried out in two stages. An original questionnaire and ranking procedure were used to study students’ perceptions of the social value of professions. The sample consisted of 324 respondents (169 boys and 155 girls) enrolled in colleges and universities (bachelor’s degree) in Moscow, Dolgoprudny, Odintsovo, Chelyabinsk, Orsk. To determine the level of the need to achieve success was used test-questionnaire by Y.M. Orlov “The need to achieve the goal”. At this stage, the study was attended by students of colleges of Moscow and Moscow Oblast (208 people: 113 girls and 95 boys) and Ural Economic District (148 people: 91 girls and 57 boys), as well as students of Chelyabinsk State University (191 people: 139 girls and 52 boys). The total sample is 547 people. The empirical data is processed using the statistical package SPSS 23.0.
Results. It is shown that at the age of 16-18 the inner position of an adult only begins to develop, and at the age of early adulthood (19-21 years) it acquires signs of maturity. This is facilitated not only by the psychological maturation of young people, but also by the greater pressure of institutional requirements determining their social status among adults and responsible people.
Research implications. The study contributes to the development of theoretical ideas about the factors that determine the formation of the inner position of the adult in adolescence. Its results will be useful in the teaching and further training of teachers, psychologists and pedagogues involved in the education and upbringing of young students and in the practical activities of the psychological service of educational institutions.

Abstract

Aim. To identify the life-meaning orientations and interests of young people studying vocational professions.
Methodology. Participants are students of secondary vocational educational institutions of a technical profile (15–17 years old). A total of 593 people. In the 2014–2015 academic year – 292 people: 142 live and study in a metropolis, 150 – in a small town. In the 2021–2022 academic year, there are 301 people: 163 live and study in a metropolis, 138 in a small town. “Questionnaire of Life Meaning Orientations” by D. Leontyev and “Map of Interests” by A. Golomstock were used in the study.
Results. The life-meaning orientations of adolescents studying working professions in secondary vocational educational institutions of the Russian Federation correspond to the lower limits of the standards existing for the Russian sample. There was a decline in the indicators of life meaningfulness among the students in the period from 2014 to 2022, which was manifested in a decrease in interest in many subject areas. Intergroup differences were revealed: students of secondary vocational educational institutions of a small city have higher rates of life meaningfulness compared to students of a metropolis. Their interest in school subjects is more consistent with their choice of educational institution. This trend is independent of the year of the study.
Research implications. The theoretical significance lies in identifying trends in changes in semantic orientations among adolescents acquiring a working profession, which may be associated with the type of spatial (small town – metropolis) and temporary (2014–2022) environment.

Abstract

Aim. To study such subjective determinants of successful re-professionalization of an individual as self-efficacy, vitality, coping strategies.
Methodology. The results of studying the content of ideas about success, the severity of resilience, self-assessment of effectiveness of preferred coping strategies among Masters with different levels of success at the stage of re-professionalization are compared. Using the Mann- Whitney U test, average data for two groups of respondents were compared; Spearman’s correlation analysis revealed the presence of statistically significant differences in the severity of subjective determinants of personal success at the stage of re-professionalization among successful and less successful Master’s respondents. Sample composition is Master's students who have a non-major first education and have decided to master another profession (N = 222; 25-35 years old). Diagnostic methods: Vitality test (Methodology by S. Maddi, adaptation by D. A. Leontyev); General self-efficacy scale (R. Schwarzer, M. Yerusalem; adapted by V. G. Romek); Questionnaire “Methods of coping behavior” by R. Lazarus and S. Folkman; Questionnaire “Success Factors” (T. N. Shcherbakova).
Results. The features of coping behavior strategies in individuals with varying degrees of success in the situation of re-professionalization are determined. It is shown that there is a connection between the preferred coping strategy and the self-efficacy and resilience of the subject of reprofessionalization. Differences were identified in the chosen coping strategies, as well as the level of self-efficacy and resilience among successful and less successful masters at the stage of mastering a new profession, which influence the effectiveness of educational and professional activities. It has been established that more successful masters more often choose “taking responsibility” and “planning to solve problems” as coping strategies. Among the significant success factors, undergraduates highlight, first of all, creativity, ability to achieve goals, and desire for self-realization. It was revealed that among less successful Master’s students there is a direct positive correlation between self-efficacy and such coping behavior strategies as “seeking social support” and “escape-avoidance”, and an inverse negative relationship between self-efficacy and the coping strategy “taking responsibility”.
Research implications. Determining significant indicators of subjective predictors of individual success in conditions of professional mobility complements the understanding of the role of constructive coping strategies in organizing the productive activity of the subject of re-professionalization. A comprehensive analysis of resources and risks of various coping strategies and correlation with other predictors of success using mathematical statistics methods allows us to determine a system of behavioral strategies and personal characteristics necessary for success in a situation of professional mobility. Based on the data from the empirical study related to the study of the characteristics of coping behavior strategies in people with re-professionalization, a program of psychological support for masters choosing a new professional field has been developed. This program includes a diagnostic block for identifying individual difficulties and risks and training in constructive coping behavior.
