(2020) Blynova, O.; Moiseienko, V.; Los, O.; Burlakova, I.; Yevdokimova, O.; Toba, M.; Popovych, I. S.; Блинова, О. Є.; Мойсеєнко, В. В.; Лось, О. М.; Бурлакова, І.; Євдокимова, О.; Тоба, М.; Попович, І. С.
The purpose of the study is to examine students’ assertiveness and their choice of behavior strategies in situations of social interaction. It considers assertive behavior as an ability to defend one’s rights, show positive and negative emotions, overcome social anxiety and adapt to social life. The research empirically investigates the correlation between students’ assertiveness and behavior strategies in conflict and in real situations of social interaction. Significant correlations with “competition” and “compromise” strategies (p<.05); indirect correlations of “adaptation” and “avoidance” strategies (p<.05) were established. The obtained results in the female sample were substantiated: between assertiveness and “compromise” (a direct correlation) and “adaptation” (an indirect correlation) (p<.05). In the male sample, assertiveness correlates with the “avoidance” strategy (p<.05). We maintain that internality at a statistically significant level correlates with assertiveness (р< .05). The obtained and substantiated empirical results about the students’ assertive behavior have scientific value. They should be operationalized into educational process. These results are useful for psychological consultancy, psychotherapeutic and training work. El objetivo de la investigación es estudiar la asertividad de los estudiantes y su elección de estrategias de comportamiento en las situaciones de interacción social. El comportamiento asertivo se considera como la capacidad de defender sus propios derechos, expresar sus sentimientos positivos y negativos, superar la ansiedad social, adaptarse a la vida social. Se investigó empíricamente la relación entre la asertividad de estudiantes y las estrategias de comportamiento en conflictos y situaciones reales de interacción social. Fueron establecidas las relaciones significativas con las estrategias de “competencia” y “compromiso” (p<.05), relaciones inversas con las de “adaptación” y “evitación” (p<.05). Recibieron y argumentaron los resultados de la muestra femenina: entre asertividad y “compromiso” (relación directa) y “adaptación” (relación inversa) (p<.05). En la muestra masculina la asertividad se correlaciona con la estrategia de “evitación” (p<.05). Se constató que la internalidad del nivel estadísticamente significativo está relacionada con la asertividad (p<.05). Los resultados empíricos obtenidos y comprobados del comportamiento asertivo de los estudiantes tienen un valor científico. Deben ser operacionalizados en el proceso educativo. Los resultados son útiles también para las consultas psicológicas, la psicoterapia y el retiro.

(2022) Popovych, I. S.; Radul, I.; Hoian, I.; Ohnystyi, A.; Doichyk, V.; Burlakova, I.; Попович, І. С.
The purpose of the empirical study is to develop and substantiate a typology of athletes’ resilience, as well as to compare different types of resilience among representatives of individual sports and team sports. Individual sports are represented by athletes from athletics, boxing, and weightlifting (n=312; average age M=26.2), and team sports are represented by representatives from mini-football, football, handball, and volleyball (n=322, average age M=28.1). Research methods: psychodiagnostic methods that used scales to evaluate the content parameters of the researched phenomena in a relevant way; participant observation; k-means cluster analysis; Spearman method correlation analysis (rs); criterion angle-transformation of Fisher’s (φ). Results. It is substantiated that athletes’ resilience typology is a scientific classification of abstract theoretical complexes (types) that integrate the most essential content parameters, structural and functional characteristics of athletes’ resilience. Commitment (rs=.148), Control (rs=.086), Challenge (rs=.076), Hardiness (rs=.115), Emotional Stability (rs=.146), Cheerfulness (rs=.186), and Motivation to Succeed (rs=.202) were determined as the content factors with the strongest connection to Resilience (р<.01; р<.05). Individual and team sports were formed as empirical typologies of athletes’ resilience. Individual athletes’ resilience was classified into four types: Value- Oriented (VO), Motivational-Oriented (MO), Socially Acceptable (SA), and Emotionally Stable (ES). The following types of team sports athletes’ resilience were identified: Motivational-Valued (MV), Control- Pragmatic (CP), Socially Acceptable (SA), and Resilient (RS). The distinctions in content features of athletes’ socially acceptable types of resilience in individual and team sports are substantiated. Conclusions. The first hypothesis was confirmed when two types of athlete resilience were developed. The second hypothesis is confirmed since the construction of resilience types is based on the dominating levels of content parameters. The third hypothesis cannot be statistically proven or disproven since the three types of athletes’ resilience differ in content parameters and cannot be compared. The Socially Acceptable type was compared, but no significant differences were found (р ≥ .05). It is recommended that representatives of individual and team sports consider the obtained results and that they be operationalized in athletes’ tactical training.

(2020) Popovych, I. S.; Halian, A.; Halian, I.; Burlakova, I.; Shevchenko, R.; Lappo, V.; Zhigarenko, I.; Попович, І. С.; Галян, А. І.; Галян, І. М.; Бурлакова, І. А.; Шевченко, Р. П.; Лаппо, В. П.; Жигоренко, І. Є.
The study presents the empirical research on emotional intelligence as a factor of efficient adaptation of future healthcare professionals to their professional environment. It considers emotional intelligence as a complex construct of mental abilities related to handling emotional information and generating emotional experience of an individual. Cluster analysis is used to determine the levels of adaptiveness: high (16.59%), medium (38.57%) and low (44.84%). The study determines the indexes of intercorrelation of the components of social and psychological adaptation of the future healthcare professionals; it diagnoses the level of manifesting emotional intelligence in the future healthcare professionals with different levels of adaptiveness (р≤.05; р≤.01). The research focuses on the differences in the structure of emotional intelligence of well-adapted and badly-adapted future healthcare professionals (р≤.05; р≤.01) to their professional environment. The structure is represented by the content characteristics: understanding of one’s own emotions and other people’s emotions, managing one’s own emotions and other people’s emotions; emotional competence; emotional experience. The study proves that empathy, emotional competence and self-improvement are the factors ensuring an appropriate level of adaptation of future healthcare professionals to their professional environment. Емпірично досліджено емоційний інтелект як чинник ефективної адаптації майбутніх медичних працівників до професійного оточення. Розглянуто емоційний інтелект як складний конструкт ментальних здібностей, пов’язаних із оперуванням емоційною інформацією та формуванням емоційного досвіду суб’єкта. Кластерним аналізом визначено рівні адаптованості: високий (16.59%), середній (38.57%), низький (44.84%); визначено показники інтеркореляції компонентів соціально-психологічної адаптації майбутніх медичних працівників; діагностовано рівень прояву емоційного інтелекту у майбутніх медичних працівників з різними рівнями адаптованості (р≤.05; р≤.01). Констатовано відмінності у структурі емоційного інтелекту добре адаптованих та слабо адаптованих до професійного оточення майбутніх медичних працівників (р≤.05; р≤.01). Структура представлена змістовими характеристиками, серед яких: розуміння власних емоцій та емоцій інших людей, управління власними емоціями та емоціями інших людей; емоційною компетентністю; емоційним досвідом. Доведено, що співпереживання, емоційна компетентність та самовдосконалення є чинниками, які забезпечують належний рівень адаптації майбутніх медичних працівників до професійного оточення.

El propósito de la investigación es estudiar las perspectivas temporales en las actividades profesionales de los especialistas en el área económica. Es sabido que los especialistas con más de veinte años de experiencia se centran principalmente en el pasado y el presente, y los que acumulan menos de diez años, en el futuro. La base metodológica de la investigación fue el concepto de perspectiva temporal. Esta metodología ha sido aprobada por investigadores en el estudio de los trastornos de adaptación, ansiedad, innovación. Está demostrado que los representantes del grupo profesional de especialistas que acumulan menos de diez años de experiencia están más inclinados a la planificación estratégica y a la busca del apoyo emocional en situaciones difíciles, y que los especialistas con 10-20 años de experiencia, a la superación proactiva y reflexiva. Se ha descubierto también que los hombres tienen una orientación temporal más pronunciada para el “Futuro”, y las mujeres, para el “Futuro trascendental” (р≤.05). Las mujeres son más propensas a la inmersión emocional en los eventos actuales, mientras que los hombres son más propensos a estructurar los eventos actuales y planificar eventos futuros. (р≤.05). Es aconsejable utilizar los resultados obtenidos en asesoramiento psicológico y evaluación del personal. The aim of the article is the research of time perspectives in the professional activity of specialists of economic sphere. It is established that specialists with experience more than twenty years have largely focused on past and present, and specialists with experience of up to ten years on the future. The methodological basis of the research was the concept of time perspective. This methodology has been approved by researchers in the study of adaptation disorders, anxiety, innovation. The representatives of the professional group of specialists with experience up to ten years may be more tend to strategic planning and the search for emotional support in difficult situations; and specialists with experience of 10-20 years – to a proactive and reflexive overcome. It is found that men are more express for temporal focus of the “Future,” and women – for “Transcendent future” (p≤.05). Women have a more expressed tendency to emotional immersion in the events of the present, and men – structuring of current events and planning future events (p≤.05). The received results should be used in psychological counseling and estimation of staff. Метою статті є дослідження часових перспектив у професійній діяльності фахівців економічної сфери. Встановлено, що фахівці зі стажем більше двадцяти років значною мірою орієнтовані на минуле і сьогодення, а фахівці зі стажем до десяти років – на майбутнє. Досліджено, що представники професійної групи фахівці зі стажем до десяти років більшою мірою схильні до стратегічного планування і пошуку емоційної підтримки у важких ситуаціях; а фахівці зі стажем 10-20 років – до проактивного і рефлексивного подолання. Встановлено, що у чоловіків більшою мірою виражена часова спрямованість “Майбутнє”, а у жінок – “Трансцендентне майбутнє” (р≤.05). У жінок більше виражена схильність до емоційного занурення в події сьогодення, а у чоловіків – до структурування поточних подій і планування подій майбутнього (р≤.05). Отримані результати доцільно застосовувати в психологічному консультуванні та при оцінці персоналу.
RE-ADAPTATION OF JUNIOR ATHLETES TO COMPETITIVE ACTIVITY AFTER A FORCED BREAK
(2024) Popovych, I. S.; Burlakova, I.; Omelianiuk, S.; Kornienko, V.; Kondes, T.; Kharytonova, N.; Zavatska, N.; Hoian, I.; Попович, І. С.
This study aims to perform a theoretical and empirical analysis to identify psychological factors, establish key correlations, and determine the differences in junior athletes’ re-adaptation to competitive activity after a forced break. Methods: The research involved 36 junior athletes from both individual and team sports, representing sports schools for children and youth – “LSSCY Enerhetyk” (Lviv, Ukraine), “SSSYOR №1” (Ivano-Frankivsk, Ukraine), and junior academies of professional football and handball clubs from Kherson and Mykolaiv. A forced break in competitive activity was the primary criterion for participant selection. Valid and reliable psycho-diagnostic tools, previously tested in sports studies, were employed. Results: No statistically significant differences were observed in the re-adaptive capacity parameters across the examined junior samples. An algorithm for creating a profile to assess junior athletes’ ability to re-adapt is proposed. It considerably simplifies the management of recovery process and is capable of increasing the accuracy of planning competitive activities. It was established that the following parameters are the most dependent parameters of re-adaptation (three correlations for each): “adaptability”, “acceptance of others” and “internality”. The most dependent coping strategies (five correlations for each) are as follows: “problem-solving planning” and “escape–avoidance”. It was explained that the strongest direct correlation of “internality” with the coping strategy “problem-solving planning” (rs = .549; p <.001) testifies that the efforts made by the re-adapting individual have the greatest re- adapting effect. It was found that the opposite effect is in the correlation between “emotional comfort” and the coping strategy “escape–avoidance” (rs = -.525; p = .001) which is the most undesirable combination at the stage of re-adaptation. Discussion and conclusions. It was substantiated that juniors’ re-adaptation to competitive activity after a forced break is the return of athletes to active training and competitive processes in order to resume a sporting career. It was noted that the comparison of two groups with low and high levels of the parameters of re-adaptation confirmed that adaptive capacity and internal orientation towards problem-solving is the most effective combination of juniors’ competences at the stage of re-adaptation to competitive activity after a forced break. It was summarized that re-adaptation is an important scientific problem in research into sporting activities which requires empirical study and implementation of effective practices in sporting activities
