CORRELATION BETWEEN DEFENSE MECHANISMS AND CHARACTER ACCENTUATIONS OF PERSONALITY // Pedagogical Review. 2019. Issue 5 (27). P. 157-165

The paper analyzes the correlation of defense mechanisms and character accentuations, and peculiarities of the use of defense mechanisms by an individual. The authors show the importance of studying the defense mechanisms due to changes occurring in the society, as well as the necessity to adapt to them for psychological health and harmonious development of a person. The state of scientific knowledge of the correlation between psychological defenses and character accentuations was identified. The study found that the most used defense mechanisms are: intellectualization, denial and regression. A correlation analysis of the results revealed the preferences in the use of defense mechanisms by individuals with different character accentuations: hyperthymic character accentuation has a high correlation with the denial mechanism; a stuck type of character accentuation highly correlates with the projection defense mechanism; disturbing character accentuation has a high correlation with the regression mechanism; the study participants with a cyclothymic character accentuation more often use the following types of defenses: regression, projection and displacement; unstable character accentuation has a high correlation with the mechanisms of regression, projection and displacement; the study participants with an exalted character accentuation are more likely to use the protective regression mechanism. The results of the study of the relationship of protective mechanisms and various character accentuations can be used in developing recommendations in the process of optimal adaptation of a person to various situations, and also for self-realization and maintaining psychological health. The received data can help specialists in the practice of psychological counseling, as well as in the development of correction and support programs for various categories of people.

VALUE BASES IN PREPARING STUDENTS FOR PROFESSIONAL ACTIVITY // Pedagogical Review. 2019. Issue 6 (28). P. 234-239

The development of students in the process of their preparation for professional activity is a significant factor. Among personal characteristics, values occupy a special place, since they largely determine the orientation of the person, behavior, relationships with other people, success and effectiveness of the activity. Interest in value research is growing today. This is due to the transition of society to an innovative path of development, the complexity of the tasks that arise in front of a person. Of particular relevance is the question of studying the values of young people, since the future of the country and society depends on them. In a study of students’ values by the method of R. Inglehart, it was found that among the criteria of “traditionality- survival” they have the predominant value of “survival”. Young people focus more on financial well-being, accumulation of resources, rejection of marginality and foreignness. They respect authoritarianism, adhere to the traditional distribution of gender roles. Among the parameters of the methodology “Refined Theory of Basic Personal Values”, the priority is “preservation” among students, where the main criteria are traditionality, power, security, conformism. In the second place, young people have the “openness” parameter, which is associated with independence, aspiration for novelty and deep emotions. It is important to note that the values “self-affirmation” and “self-determination”, which are opposite in Schwartz’s theory, have the same number of points. The inconsistency in the choice of values reflects the changes taking place in society, the transitivity of time, and is also due to the age of students associated with setting life goals in youth, the formation of worldview positions, and the realization that social standards and universal values are important in society.

PSYCHOLOGICAL COMPONENTS OF INNOVATIVE BEHAVIOR AS NECESSARY PARTS IN PROFESSIONAL TRAINING OF STUDENTS // Pedagogical Review. 2020. Issue 2 (30). P. 197-203

The modernization of society raises issues of training personnel with developed innovative potential. In this situation, the issues of studying the specifics of the innovative behavior of the individual, the development of the innovative potential of students in the context of professional education are relevant. The study of innovative potential and innovative human behavior is based on an activity-based approach in psychology. Innovative activity creates favorable conditions for the development of personality, the effective use of internal potential. In innovative behavior, a person realizes his “actual potentiality”, the ability to transcendence, and personal growth becomes an actual state. For the development of the innovative potential of the individual, it is fundamentally important to develop the worldview of the individual, tolerance to uncertainty, and the need for self-realization. The problem of initiating innovative behavior is of great interest today. For modern pedagogy and psychology, the task of forming and developing a personality focused on innovative behavior is currently becoming urgent. Although the concepts of “formation” and “development” are close, the development process is still more significant in this issue, since it involves subjectivity, human activity. Currently, a promising model in the preparation of a modern specialist is a model of professional selfdevelopment, where the emphasis is on the internal activity of a person, the need for selfrealization. A necessary condition for the development of innovative potential is the educational environment, where a person is included in the cultural ties of society. The educational environment should contribute to the formation of an innovative culture of students, create a single and holistic process of innovative training of specialists.

It should be focused on the development of innovative thinking, improving motivation, improving the quality of independent and team work, and selfdevelopment of students. When developing the innovative potential of students, it is necessary to use active forms of education: training, project activities, discussions, modeling, roleplaying and simulation games. Active forms of education help to develop students communicative competence, creative and organizational abilities, personal and professional identity.

An important factor in the development of innovative potential of students is the educational environment. The functioning of this environment should be based on a systematic analysis of the object, subject, processes, and conditions of innovative development.

Values, life orientations and life satisfaction of parents raising children with disabilities // Pedagogical Review. 2023. Issue 4 (50). P. 162-169

The number of children with disabilities is growing every year. The appearance of a child with disabilities in the family leaves an imprint on the state of the parents, instills in them anxiety and fear for the future of the child. In such families, disintegrating social processes are observed that do not contribute to the successful socialization of children with disabilities. At the same time, the family can be considered as a resource in the development of a child with disabilities. Considering that many parents raising children with disabilities have typical features, a study was conducted on the psychological characteristics of parents: values, life orientations and life satisfaction. The following methods were used: The Life Satisfaction Scale (E. Diener; adapted by D.A. Leontiev, E.N. Osina); “Portrait Values Questionnaire-Revised” (Portrait Values Questionnaire -Revised – PVQ-R; Sh. Schwartz et al.; modification by K.V. Sugonyaev), where we examined the meta-values of “Openness to change” and “Saving”; Test of life orientations by D. A. Leontiev. The results of the study indicate that the values, life orientations and life satisfaction of parents raising children with disabilities differ significantly from similar psychological characteristics of parents raising healthy children. Parents raising children with disabilities need psychological and pedagogical support, they need comprehensive, targeted psychological assistance. The results obtained are of practical importance and can be used by specialists in designing programs of psychological and pedagogical support for parents raising children with disabilities.
