DEFICIT OF MNEMIC POTENTIAL OF CONCEPTUAL THINKING AS A COGNITIVE BARRIER IN RESEARCH ACTIVITY OF YOUNG SCIENTISTS // Pedagogical Review. 2017. Issue 1 (15). P. 133-141

The artice presents the results of the study of the degree of the mnemic potential of the conceptual structure and its relationship with the style of young scientists’ self-regulation. The study has included 122 young scientists (postgraduate students and masters involved in research activity). Methods of research: technique by M. A. Kholodnaya “Formulation of Problems”, questionnaire by V. I. Morosanova “Style of Self-Regulation of Behavior” (SSRBM). The study has resulted in revealing the insufficiently formed volume and complexity of mnemic potential of conceptual structures of young scientists evidencing limitation to bring forth and define the problem of their own research, difficulty in identifying its interdisciplinary nature. A positive relationship of indicators of complexity of defined problems with the process of planning of their own activity has been found. The findings can testify to narrow-mindedness in bringing forth a problem of own research, difficulty in definition of its interdisciplinary nature, difficulty in the problem formulation with use of scientific language. Lack of mnemic potential of conceptual thinking in junior scientists with the low level of planning can act as a cognitive barrier of successful development of stages of research activity. The findings give the grounds for more in-depth study of cognitive structure of conceptual thinking by means of psychodiagnostics methods as well as development of the program of individual coaching of young scientists during training for research activity.

PSYCHOLOGICAL FACTORS OF HEALTHY PREGNANCY MAINTENANCE IN WOMEN WITH HIV INFECTION // Pedagogical Review. 2020. Issue 5 (33). P. 157-163

The study is devoted to the urgent problem of identifying psychological factors for pregnancy maintenance in women who are pregnant having special somatic conditions (HIV infection). During the research a comparative analysis of indicators of the psycho-emotional state, the motives for maintaining pregnancy, women’s attitude towards themselves and their perceived health status between groups of women with physiologically normal pregnancy and with the threatened miscarriage was conducted. The psychological factors of maintaining a healthy pregnancy in women with HIV infection were established. At the level of clinical indicators, these were the absence of abortions and missed pregnancies in medical history. At the level of social indicators, the factor was a registered marriage as a marital status. At the level of psychological indicators – the absence of depressive mood, of high aggressiveness and frustration; acceptance of the pregnancy; rejection of the motive for pregnancy maintenance characterized by the desire to achieve a new social status and satisfy the need for love, support, attention and care; high value of oneself and high value of the child himself/herself; high assessment of the health status and the bodily resources for healing. The results can be used to develop a differentiated program to prevent the development of the threated miscarriage in women with HIV infection for antenatal clinics of maternity hospitals and center for AIDS prevention and control.
