this study aims to identify and analyze the factor structure of psychological readiness for professional self-determination (PRPSD) in high school students, viewed through the lens of their socio-psychological personality type. The relevance of the work is driven by the need to develop differentiated career-guidance approaches that account for students’ individual-typological characteristics in order to improve the effectiveness of their professional choices. The study tested the hypothesis that the components of PRPSD (cognitive, motivational-value, emotional-volitional, operational-activity) form different configurations and intensities depending on the student’s dominant socio-psychological personality type. The research methodology was based on a comprehensive diagnostic approach. To identify socio-psychological personality types, a method for determining socio-psychological types was used (for example, an adapted version of Leary’s method, MLO, etc., the specific tool should be specified). The assessment of PRPSD components was carried out using validated questionnaires and tests measuring the level of career information awareness, the formation of professional interests and inclinations, choice motivation, decision confidence, self-assessment of professionally important qualities, emotional attitude toward the choice, and the development of planning skills. The sample consisted of 10th–11th grade students (N=XXX). Data analysis methods included factor analysis (exploratory and/or confirmatory), analysis of variance (ANOVA) to compare groups formed by personality type, and correlational analysis. The results confirmed the hypothesis of a specific factor structure of PRPSD for different socio-psychological personality types. Factor analysis conducted separately for typologically defined groups revealed differences in the number of significant factors, their content loadings (which PRPSD components combine into a single factor), and their relative weights. For instance, in one type the key factor might be the combination of motivation and self-esteem, while in another it could be the link between information awareness and operational skills. Statistically significant differences between groups in the expression of individual components and integral PRPSD indicators were also established. The discussion focuses on interpreting the observed differences in PRPSD structure through the prism of characterological traits and predominant modes of social interaction inherent to each socio-psychological type. The findings suggest that universal career-guidance models may be insufficiently effective, as the psychological mechanisms and “supports” of the self-determination process differ among high school students with different personality patterns. The results underscore the importance of individualizing career-guidance work in schools and developing targeted psycho-pedagogical support programs based on the student’s socio-psychological type to form a coherent and effective readiness for career choice.

this study focuses on the development, pilot testing, and validation of the psychometric properties of the original «Life Satisfaction Factors Questionnaire» (LSFQ), designed for the comprehensive assessment of factors and levels of life satisfaction among mature adults (aged 35-55 years). Methodology and methods. The pilot sample included 100 participants (50 males/50 females), balanced by gender. The reliability (internal consistency) of the methodology was assessed using Cronbach’s alpha coefficient (? > 0.70 for both scales), indicating acceptable internal consistency of items measuring the target constructs. Convergent validity of the LSFQ (particularly the final Life Satisfaction Index, LSI) was evaluated against validated and reliable instruments measuring similar constructs: the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) by E. Diener and the Life Satisfaction Index A (LSIA) by B. Neugarten (1961), adapted by N.V. Panina (1993). Results. The methodology comprises 10 life satisfaction factors, each assessed twice (as extremely important for people of your age and the degree of personal satisfaction with this factor), which allows for the identification of the Importance Scale (IS) and the Satisfaction Scale (SS). Calculating the «Importance – Satisfaction» ratio reveals deficit and resource zones of satisfaction. The Life Satisfaction Index (LSI) represents an integral assessment of subjective life satisfaction. Reliability indicators of the scales (Cronbach's alpha coefficient) in the range of ? = 0.80 (IS) and 0.73 (SS) indicate acceptable internal consistency of the scales. Construct validity with SWLS (E. Diener) r = 0.72, p < 0.001; LSIA (N.V. Panina) r = 0.68, p < 0.005. Criterion validity between LSI and each factor ranges from r = 0.58 to 0.72. Content validity was ensured during the stage of forming the list of factors. Conclusion. The obtained results confirm the functionality of the methodology and justify the need for further testing on more representative samples.

the article is devoted to the study of the phenomenon of oniomania – an obsessive desire to purchase unnecessary goods, considered as a form of escaping from reality and psychological defense. The causes of oniomania, its connection with the emotional states of the individual and the role of impulsiveness in making decisions about purchases are analyzed. The possible consequences of oniomania for mental health and social adaptation of the individual are considered, recommendations for the prevention and correction of consumer behavior are offered. Objective: To consider the concept of oniomania as one of the types of addictive behavior and a way of escaping from reality. To identify the causes of the tendency to oniomania by conducting a study. To achieve the goal of the study, the analysis of scientific psychological and psychiatric literature on the subject of the study, structuring and generalization of the obtained data were used. The results obtained in the framework of the questionnaires and questionnaires showed that the majority (84.6%) of the subjects admit that from time to time they spend money on unnecessary purchases. In addition, impulsive spending really brings pleasure or helps to distract from real life. People addicted to shopaholism or impulsive shopping have one more aspect in common – difficult relationships in the family, especially in childhood. The tendency to oniomania is manifested in those respondents whose parents did not devote enough time to their children, paid little attention to them, often quarreled with each other or were going to divorce/divorced the marriage. Addictive forms of behavior lead to significant disorders and serious problems in personal, professional, social, educational, family and other significant areas of a person’s life . Moreover, the results of addiction are often the very causes of oniomania. This is especially evident in those people whose family relationships in childhood required correction.

Based on the conducted theoretical research, criteria for assessing the emotional well-being of primary school children have been defined, its most important aspects have been identified, and the necessity of developing a unified concept of «emotional well-being» along with its systematic description has been substantiated.

corporate identity is defined as the process of identification of employees and organizational structures with the organization, including the adoption of its philosophy, values and norms of behavior. Scientific novelty is due to the interdisciplinary nature of the study of corporate identity and the difficulties in terminology associated with this concept. Researchers note that employees who experience a corporate identity work more efficiently and stay with the company long-term. These employees share the values of the organization, follow its rules and norms of behavior, and also commit their future to the organization. The article also highlights the historical context and evolution of corporate identity research. The author notes that research into corporate identity began in the second half of the twentieth century and concerned the formation of a corporate style. Subsequent research focused on corporate philosophy and employee belonging to the organization through sharing its values. The paper provides an overview and analysis of the concept of corporate identity, touching on the historical context and theoretical foundations, which helps to understand the importance and impact of this concept on employees and the organization as a whole. The importance of the concept of corporate identity for employees and organizations is emphasized. It helps to build a positive image and reputation of the company, and is also a key factor in the success of the organization. The results of the study can be used in the practical development of programs for the development of corporate culture of organizations, competency models, as well as socioogical research.

shooting performance in applied sports disciplines (practical shooting, biathlon, archery) depends critically not only on technical skill and physical conditioning but also on the athlete’s ability to maintain an optimal psychophysiological state under stress and competitive pressure. The insufficient study of the targeted application of comprehensive self-regulation methods to improve shooting-specific outcomes determines the relevance of this research. The aim of the study was to evaluate the impact of systematic application of mental self-regulation techniques on shooting accuracy and consistency in qualified athletes. Forty athletes (Candidate Master of Sport and Master of Sport levels) from practical shooting and biathlon disciplines participated in the study and were randomly assigned to an experimental group (EG, n=20) and a control group (CG, n=20). Over eight weeks, the EG underwent a structured self-regulation training program that included progressive muscle relaxation, diaphragmatic breathing, ideomotor training, and elements of cognitive-behavioral therapy to manage anxiety and attention. The CG continued their standard training. Shooting performance was assessed before and after the intervention using standardized target series under simulated competitive stress conditions (time limits, noise distractions). Dispersion (shot grouping), accuracy (deviation from the target center), and exercise completion time were recorded. Additionally, physiological stress markers (heart rate, galvanic skin response) and subjective state assessments (CSAI-2 questionnaire) were measured. After completing the program, the EG showed statistically significant (p<0.01) improvements in shot grouping by 18.7% and in accuracy (reduction in mean deviation) by 15.3% compared to baseline and to the control group. EG athletes also demonstrated greater stability of results under stress, smaller heart rate increases, and reduced competitive anxiety according to questionnaire data. No significant changes in shooting performance or psychophysiological parameters were found in the CG.

this study is devoted to a comprehensive assessment of the organizational conditions of the Physical Culture, Sports, and Health Center (PCSHC) in the Krasnogvardeysky District of Saint Petersburg. The aim of the work was to analyze the key aspects of the center’s functioning that influence the efficiency of providing physical culture and wellness services to the population and achieving strategic goals in promoting a healthy lifestyle. To achieve this aim, a set of methods was applied, including analysis of the regulatory framework and the center’s internal documentation, structured observation of organizational processes, surveys of visitors and staff, and a SWOT analysis to identify strengths and weaknesses, opportunities, and threats in the institution’s current activities. The research results revealed a number of significant characteristics of the PCSHC’s organizational environment. A satisfactory level of conformity of the material and technical base to basic needs was established, but there is a need to update some equipment and expand the facilities for certain disciplines. Analysis of program and methodological support showed diversity in the services offered but pointed to the necessity of more actively implementing adaptive programs for low-mobility population groups and modern fitness trends. Management processes are generally effective, but opportunities were identified to optimize the marketing and service-promotion system as well as to enhance interdepartmental cooperation with educational and medical institutions in the district. The center’s staff have sufficient qualifications but require development in working with modern technologies and specific population groups. Based on the data obtained, it was concluded that the organizational conditions of the PCSHC in the Krasnogvardeysky District ensure a basic level of functioning but have significant potential for optimization and development. Key directions for improvement include modernization of infrastructure, diversification of program offerings with an emphasis on inclusivity and innovation, strengthening of the marketing strategy, and establishment of systematic partnerships with other organizations in the district. Implementing the proposed measures will increase the accessibility and quality of the physical culture and wellness services provided, expand the population coverage, and, as a result, strengthen the center’s contribution to improving the health and quality of life of residents of the Krasnogvardeysky District of Saint Petersburg.

the article discusses the regulatory features of the regulation of pedagogical activity when working with persons with musculoskeletal disorders (MD). Materials and methods. To assess the system of state support for physical rehabilitation programs for persons with MAP, the relevant regulatory documents for the period from 1991 to 2025 were studied. Results. The lack of elaboration of certain legislative initiatives and by-laws was noted, due to the organizational disunity of participants in the educational process, the lack of clear criteria for classifying persons involved in the rehabilitation of persons with musculoskeletal disorders as teachers. Criteria have not been developed to determine the validity of the choice of the organizers of the pedagogical process of teaching methods in the rehabilitation of persons with MD. The procedure for monitoring the completeness and quality of individual rehabilitation programs has not been developed, the mechanisms for assessing their pedagogical and biomedical results have not been worked out. There are other problems in the regulatory framework of the pedagogical process aimed at the rehabilitation of persons with MD. Methodological principles and mechanisms for assessing the effectiveness of rehabilitation measures in persons with MD need to improve regulation. To date, a system for monitoring the quality and completeness of individual rehabilitation programs has not been developed. Conclusion. Further improvement of the system of pedagogical rehabilitation of persons with AML does not require the development of new legislative acts, but needs their by-law regulation, taking into account the capabilities of all participants in the educational process involved in working with persons with motor disorders.

the article examines the key role of teachers' readiness to organize joint activities of schoolchildren as an important condition for successful education and comprehensive personal development of students. The author identifies several components of this readiness, including cognitive-activity, operational, axiological, motivational and personal aspects. In the context of rapidly developing digitalization, attention is focused on the importance of creating an open educational environment that would meet the needs of students, promote their socialization and self-realization. One of the central themes of the work is the need to bridge the gap between educational methods focused on knowledge transfer and the actual needs of students for independence and adaptation to modern living conditions. To do this, it is proposed to return to the classical principles of activity-based pedagogy, in which the joint participation of both teachers and students in learning processes would be more significant. However, in practical terms, the teacher survey reveals existing problems, such as the lack of teachers' willingness to implement an activity-based approach, which most often leads to a reduction of teamwork to standard educational activities without taking into account individual goals and analyzing the results. Teachers face difficulties in activating students, who often do not take the initiative, and this is due to many factors, including high workload and lack of time.

the article is devoted to the analysis of the National Education Policy 2020 and its role in the internationalization of higher education in India. The purpose of this study is to identify the main aspects of the internationalization of higher education in the country, which led to its high performance. The methodological base includes content analysis of sources and literature on the topic of the work. The authors conclude that the National Education Policy 2020 is the first national strategic document where internationalization is identified as a priority. NEP 2020 is in line with international trends in the field of educational reform. envisages a complete overhaul of the higher education system to overcome these challenges and provide high-quality higher education by leveraging the experience of top foreign universities, while higher education institutions with autonomy will bring in innovations from world-class universities in curricula, pedagogy, which can significantly improve the quality of education they offer. NEP 2020 moves towards achieving this goal by adopting innovative policies for the country's universities with a globally relevant curriculum in natural and social sciences that will attract a large number of international students. The policy also provides support to those who want to pursue higher education abroad. The recommendations of NEP 2020 will open up new opportunities for the development of international research and cross-border mobility of faculty and students. One of the findings of the study was the conclusion that the historical experience of internationalization of higher education in India, reflecting all the contradictions and complexity of the processes characteristic of a multinational and multi-confessional state, will be of practical value for the development of the Draft Strategy for the Development of the Education System in the Russian Federation until 1936 with a perspective up to 2040.

this article addresses the problem of preventing repeat offenses and correcting delinquent behavior among minors registered with branches of the criminal-executive inspection (CEI). The introduction substantiates the relevance of the issue and highlights the influence of a complex of factors on the formation of unlawful attitudes in adolescents, including a negative microsocial environment, family dysfunction, a low level of parental pedagogical culture, and individual psychological traits (heightened excitability, low self-control, unstable value systems). The Materials and Methods section describes a systemic approach to prevention, entailing coordinated efforts by the CEI, educational institutions, social services, law enforcement agencies, and psychologists. Key methods include comprehensive diagnostics of personal characteristics to develop individualized correction plans, building trusting relationships with the adolescent, involving them in socially approved activities (sports, creative pursuits, volunteering), working with the family (where possible), and collaborating with schools to foster legal culture. The Results and Discussion demonstrate the importance of specialized programs (social skills training, anger management), psychological support to identify deep-seated conflicts, and legal education, as well as factors that enhance effectiveness: an individualized approach (case coordinator), positive reinforcement of achievements, mentorship, professional training of personnel, and ensuring access to education and employment. The need to overcome stigmatization and create a supportive environment is emphasized. In conclusion, it is stressed that overcoming delinquent tendencies requires a comprehensive, scientifically grounded approach combining social, pedagogical, psychological, and legal measures aimed not only at control but also at rehabilitation, the formation of a positive identity, and law-abiding behavior through the unlocking of the adolescent’s potential and the establishment of a support network.

the article is devoted to the analysis of the problem of victim vulnerability of adolescents in the modern socio-cultural context. Adolescents are presented as a group of the population with a high level of personal and situational victimization. A significant problem at present is the problem of victim behavior of adolescents exposed to bullying and cyberbullying. In the case when a teenager becomes a victim in a cyberbullying situation, he demonstrates victim vulnerability, a serious social risk of developing his victim behavior arises and, as a consequence, the risk of developing victimhood, which can be considered as a stable personality trait. Adolescents who have been exposed to cyberbullying have certain psychological characteristics, the identification and study of which can provide significant assistance in organizing and conducting special psychological and pedagogical work aimed at preventing and overcoming victim behavior of adolescents. As part of special psychological and pedagogical work with adolescents, it is necessary to inform adolescents about the specifics of safe behavior, in particular safe behavior in the Internet space, the characteristics of victim behavior, the resources that should be used to counter bullying and cyberbullying. It is necessary to promote the formation of adolescents' skills and abilities in resolving various conflicts using a rich repertoire of coping strategies, reflexive and communicative abilities and skills. In working with adolescents, it is important to create conditions for the development of adolescents' ideas about the possibilities of self-regulation, overcoming negative emotional states, relieving excessive neuropsychic stress, developing stress resistance, resilience and viability.

the urgency of improving the system of training cadets for professional activity is of particular importance in the context of modern geopolitical challenges and historical events. The growing instability in the international arena, including conflicts, hybrid threats and the improvement of military strategies, requires future defenders of the Fatherland not only to possess impeccable military professional skills, but also to develop tactical thinking, the ability to analyze possible risks and make decisions in conditions of uncertainty. These requirements make the process of studying at military universities a key element of ensuring national security. All this caused special attention to the formation of the preadaptivity of military university cadets – the cadet's ability to unpredictably change himself in a critical and emergency situation, allowing him to activate mechanisms for changing functions, overcome the changed conditions of the situation and fully implement military professional skills. However, the question of how this ability is formed and what factors influence it is still open. Consideration of the historiography of the formation of preadaptivity of military university cadets allows for a deeper and more detailed study of this phenomenon. Therefore, the purpose of the study is a systematic analysis of the historical experience of the formation of preadaptivity of future officers. According to the results of the study, the author concludes that there has not been a comprehensive study and holistic consideration of this problem in military pedagogy. The prospect of developing this research will allow us to further develop an integrated training system for future officers, combining historical experience with current modern requirements, which will allow us to train highly qualified officers who are able to effectively perform their tasks in any conditions.
