GENERAL PSYCHOLOGY, PERSONALITY PSYCHOLOGY, HISTORY OF PSYCHOLOGY

6-23 190
Abstract

   The Introduction provides the author's definition of academic procrastination, a typical procrastination situation for a student. The need to give a definition is due to the complex nature of the phenomenon. The author outlines the main approaches to understanding the phenomenon under consideration. Academic procrastination is considered as: self-regulatory failure; way of coping with negative emotions; personality trait; strategy for effective problem solving in “deadline” frames.

   The purpose of our study is to consider academic procrastination from the point of view of its adaptive aspects and defensive function.

   The novelty of this study is to offer a new perspective on the academic procrastination issue in the educational environment as high procrastination wall theory.

   In addition, the author considers procrastination as an integral part of the sense structure of personality. In the “Theoretical justification” section, academic procrastination is described as an action of the barrier, deflective and disorganizing influence of semantic attitude (mindset). The author for the first time presented and described in detail a high procrastination wall theory, where the occurrence of academic procrastination is explained from the position of insufficient sense content of academic tasks and educational activities in general. In the “Discussion of results” section, academic procrastination is considered in the context of personality defense mechanisms. Procrastinating students most often use the mechanisms of “rationalization”, “regression” and “substitution”, which are adaptive and distort reality to a very small extent. In the “Conclusion” section, the author points out the need to change the approach to understanding academic procrastination, which in the long term can not only solve the problem of postponing tasks, but also increase interest in education and learning activities.

EDUCATIONAL PSYCHOLOGY

24-39 181
Abstract

   This article is a literary overview of the phenomenon of metacognitive awareness, its main aspects, content, and studies in the field of metacognition.

   The study's novelty lies in the insufficient knowledge of this phenomenon and comprehensive analysis of the studies of metacognitive awareness.

   In the Introduction, the author presented general information about metacognitivism, metacognitive and metacognition. Specifically, they identified the differences between cognition and metacognition and described the essential features of metacognition and its various components. In the Theoretical justification, the author describes the structure of metacognitive awareness and the content of its components and subcomponent. Based on the direct relationship of metacognitive awareness with students' self-regulation, the author suggests the correlation of metacognitive awareness with the level of effectiveness of cognitive activity and the inclusion of students in it. In addition, metacognitive awareness is allegedly interconnected with the skills of adaptation and search for solutions to problem situations, including in the context of learning. Based on foreign research, the author concluded that metacognitive awareness is interconnected with the success of learning in remote format. The Discussion of the results presents the main similarities and contradictions in the judgments of different researchers to determine the concept of metacognitive awareness. The authors give data on the relationship of the high level of academic success with the average level of metacognitive awareness. This is justified by the fact of revaluation of their abilities by students with a high level of metacognitive awareness. The Conclusion contains provisions that generalize the results of theoretical analysis and discussion of the results. The findings obtained in this article are the prerequisites for empirical studies of the relationship between metacognitive awareness with other phenomena associated with the educational process in psychology.

SOCIAL PSYCHOLOGY

Abstract

   The article examines the idea of inflated socio-cultural expectations as factors contributing to the formation of the delayed life syndrome in modern realities.

   The novelty of the work lies in the fact that the empirical study conducted is one of the few studies devoted to the study of the relationship between the inflated expectations of society and the presence of the delayed life syndrome.

   In the Introduction, the author reviews the relevance of the study, formed by the widespread use of social networks and television, which do not unambiguously affect people's ideas about their own lives. The analysis of various approaches to the problem of delayed life syndrome and the influence of social expectations on a person is given. The empirical object of the study was 100 people of the able-bodied population from 18 to 65 years old without dividing them into groups. This selection was made based on the ideas of this group as a sample of people who have formed life values and goals and who can evaluate their own actions and the influence of public opinion on them. The section "Methods" contains the author's questionnaire, which identifies a person's delayed life syndrome, as well as the presence of signs of an overestimated influence of society on the individual. The Results of the study show a connection between the delayed life syndrome and the existing social expectations of a modern person. In the section "Discussion of th results", the author notes that the delayed life syndrome of one person cannot lead to the emergence of a cult of success and achievement all over the world. Therefore, too high socio-cultural expectations arising from the process of globalization lead to the formation of delayed life syndrome in people.

PSYCHOPHYSIOLOGY

66-84 191
Abstract

   It is popularly believed that a human of today comes from Homo Erectus (an erect-walking individual), who probably is the ancestor of Homo Sapiens (a rational individual). In case of accenting the key points of the main human characteristics, this name changes into Homo sapiens erectus. Humans have become rational and erect-walking over a long evolution. The aim if a human race is not to lose these two properties because they are inextricably tied up, and determine a seamlessly developed and a healthy person. At the moment, along with the technocratic progress that has fallen on the way of life and rhythm of every person, there is a tendency to disrupt posture, gait, and physique, intellectual and physical development. As a result, the acquired motor compensations and the loss of important movement patterns with a significant loss of the unique properties of the human body and personality are revealed as a whole. This is a payment for "the blessings" of civilization to some extent, and it also comes from an ignorance and laziness. This article provides an in-depth review of the connection between the mind and bipedalism. The relevance of a modern outlook on psychophysiological methods for assessing, maintaining and correcting of the postural tone, as well as human balance and equilibrium, has been revised. The term "posture" is defined as the position maintained by the body, either through muscular activity or as a result of a coordinated contraction of a group of muscles specifically working to maintain it. This article is one of the starting points for the upcoming research, which will be devoted to the biomechanics of a human movement, its effective psychophysiological assessment and adequate correction of movement disorders, postural balance, coordination and stability.

   The purpose of this work is to improve the quality of a movement by generating new hypotheses and involving engineers, physicians and scientists specializing in the problems of human body movements, to involve specialists and patients in the community focused on the studying of body movements, to collect and develop a knowledge base, skills and technologies, helping clients and patients to move correctly.
