Dorfman Leonid Yakovlevich Models of the Self in foreign psychology // Pedagogical Review. 2024. Issue 4 (56). P. 111-123

The models of Self created in foreign psychology are considered. Their place is taken into account in broader theories to classify models of the Self. For this purpose, larger theories are divided into groups. They were separated and refined by psychodynamic, behavioral, cognitive, socio-psychological, narrative and existential-humanistic models of the Self. In psychodynamic models, the Self refers to the areas of consciousness and subconscious, considering them together. In this case, the Self differentiates and splits through divergence and fragmentation, or, conversely, deals with convergence and the emergence of a holistic Self. Behavioral patterns demonstrate a behavioral view of the Self. It included the Self as ongoing activity, including external behavior, verbal behavior and internal activity. Cognitive models refer to descriptions, prescriptions, and expectations about qualities and goals associated with a person’s sense of self. The cognitive self is a filter of incoming information. Social psychological models view the Self as subject and object, a relationship through which the Self is separated from itself. In narrative models, the Self concerns life stories that reconstruct the past and address the present and imagined future in unity. These are people’s stories about themselves. Existential-humanistic models deal with the Self, which tends to actualize itself. This leads to differentiation, symbolization and experience. A common feature of all models of the Self is their fragmentation. The prospect of their integration points to a hopeful future.

Keywords: foreign models of the Self, differentiation of the Self, psychodynamic Self, behavioral Self, cognitive Self, socio-psychological Self, narrative Self, existential-humanistic Self

Zhdanova Svetlana Yuryevna, Kraeva Victoria Sergeyevna Psychological safety of Russian and Chinese students living in the campus dormitory // Pedagogical Review. 2024. Issue 5 (57). P. 143-153

Higher education is supposed to create a safe psychological environment for students, which is necessary for rapid adaptation, comfort of learning and personal development. However, there is a lot of literature on psychological safety, empirical studies are lacking at present. Our study is aimed at describing the personal component of psychological safety in risk groups and revealing the cultural effect in the perception of the educational environment in students, living in a dormitory, including foreigners. The method included a survey of 61 Russian and 62 Chinese students of Perm State University. We used the personality autonomy questionnaire to study the relationship between personality and environment. The attitude to the environment was measured using a spatial semantic differential. We have developed a questionnaire for registering cultural affiliation. The findings show that environment attitude is related to the student’s ability to create trusting, close relationships with people. The relationships quality is a connecting element in the structure of psychological safety for Chinese students. Russian students also assess environment safety by reliability category. It was revealed that person autonomy is connected with the attitude and perception to safe of space. Cultural differences allow students to identify different criteria for evaluating a space as psychologically safe.

Akimish Dina Egimbaykyzy, Brel Elena Yuryevna Environmental volunteer activity in universities of Kazakhstan (on the example of L. Gumilev Eurasian National University) // Pedagogical Review. 2024. Issue 5 (57). P. 167-176

One of the necessary conditions and prerequisites for the development of modern youth is socionatural interaction in the system “man – society – nature”, which includes a change in the image of nature that has developed in society and the construction of a new paradigm in which the regulator of relations between man and nature is ecological volunteer activity. While examining psychological and pedagogical literature on environmental volunteering, the authors discuss the origins of the term “volunteering” and its key characteristics. The authors conducted a comparative analysis of the concepts of “volunteer”, “volunteering”, “volunteer activity”, “environmental volunteering” based on Kazakhstan, Russian and foreign theoretical experience. After reviewing the literature, it was found that “volunteering” and “volunteerism” are essentially the same, so the authors of this study choose to use the term “volunteering” because it is more widely recognized internationally. By examining different perspectives on volunteering, the study was able to define and emphasize the main qualities of a volunteer as someone who participates in volunteer activities. Environmental volunteering is considered by the authors in the same way as a method of educational work with students of a higher educational institution, during the development of which social activity is formed, such qualities as justice, tolerance, kindness, friendliness and diligence are brought up. In turn, cultural and moral education develops, a certain civic position, working capacity, etc. Thus, in this paper, the essential foundations of environmental volunteering, as well as the signs of eco-volunteering as certain integral characteristics of it, which, according to the authors, are fundamental, are highlighted.

Fan Tao., Polyakova Elena Viktorovna Psychological factors in the development of intercultural competence of foreign students // Pedagogical Review. 2024. Issue 4 (56). P. 133-141

Globalization processes in modern times are characterized by high intensity and versatility. The primary elements of globalization are the people inhabiting the planet. Among students, intercultural exchange is especially intense and complex. A big problem for students is combining efforts to develop intercultural competence with mastering the main educational program at an educational institution. The purpose of this study is to determine the essence and characteristics of psychological factors in the development of intercultural competence of foreign students. The scientific novelty of the work lies in considering and proposing the use of an integrated approach to stimulating the development of intercultural competencies, which requires simultaneously maintaining interest in a new culture, motivation to get to know it and, at the same time, recognition of the uniqueness of the socio-cultural experience of foreign students, providing them opportunities to show off your personality. A separate task is to suppress the formation of small ethnic groups in cases when belonging to such a group interferes with the student’s process of acculturation in a new environment. In general, the formation of intercultural competence does not come down to specific actions, but requires comprehensive provision of psychological comfort in a new environment. On the one hand, students are faced with academic pressure, on the other hand, the new environment poses challenges and raises questions for students. The success of developing intercultural competence depends equally on several subjects – first of all, on foreign students themselves, as independent individuals and people belonging to their own culture, on the staff of the educational institution and its students, as well as on society as a whole, as a broader environment into which the international student arrives.
