Occupation as a factor of personality subjective well-being

This article examines personality subjective well-being and describes its psychological structure, general components and characteristics. An overview of foreign theories and studies on subjective well-being is presented. Correlations amongrelated concepts such as happiness, life satisfaction and subjective well-being are also described. Subjective well-being is seen as a multivariate construction of a stable nature in mobile equilibrium. It is argued that a type of professional activity can have great importance and a positive impact on an individual's social life, health, identity shaping and psychological wellness. This article's findings are substantiated by the survey administered to 2229 respondents divided into groups according to their area of business: students, psychologists, doctors, teachers, engineering and technical staff, representatives of service industries, workers, military men, and prisoners. The descriptors identified two types of natures: positive, directed to a person's inner world (happy, lucky, optimistic) and to the outer world (trustworthy, competent, successful), and negative (pessimistic, unhappy, envious). This division of nature type was categorized according to the participants' subjective well-being index. Empirical evidence has shown that occupational specificity influences a person's subjective well-being. A substantial difference was found in subjective well-being index of the respondents. A higher index is typical of students and military men. Educators and industrial intelligentsia also demonstrate an increased level of subjective well-being, whereas prisoners tend to have a low level of subjective well-being. The same low index is characteristic of servicing trade representatives and psychologists. © Lomonosov Moscow State University, 2015

Исследование взаимосвязи эмоционально-личностного благополучия студентов с показателями интеллекта

Introduction. The current socio-economic situation is characterized by complexity, inconsistency, instability, which negatively affects the psycho-emotional state of citizens, reduces their level of satisfaction with life. To solve the problem of maintaining the internal balance of the individual, more and more psychological scientists are paying close attention to the study of well-being and identifying factors for its optimization. Scientists have found numerous proofs of the relationship between wellbeing and psychological qualities of the individual, while the question of the relationship with intellectual characteristics belongs to the category of little-studied. This topic is particularly relevant for the student audience, which is the professional potential of modern society. The aim of the study is to identify the relationship between emotional and personal well-being and intelligence of students. Methods. The methodology of self-assessment of emotional and personal well-being (SEPWB) and the cultural-free intelligence test of R. Kettell (CFIT) were used as research tools. Results of the study. The study allowed us to identify 4 typological groups with a pronounced positive, weak positive, weak negative and pronounced negative self-assessment of emotional and personal wellbeing. The results of the distribution of the sample of students into the selected groups showed that 62.5% of students positively assess their emotional and personal well-being. At the same time, students with intermediate types (weak positive and weak negative) have the highest values on the intelligence test. Correlation analysis of the parameters of the SEPWB method and the CFIT method showed the specificity of correlation structures in groups with different types of emotional and personal well-being, which is proof of the ambiguity, non-linearity of the relationship between emotional and personal wellbeing and intelligence. Conclusion. The novelty of the study is to establish the relationship between the expression of intelligence and the level of emotional and personal well-being. The results obtained can be used by university teachers, as well as psychologists of enterprises involved in the organization of students ' industrial practice. © 2021 LLC Ecological Help.

Психологические предикторы эмоционально-личностного благополучия курсантов вуза Государственной противопожарной службы МЧС России

Relevance. Professional activity requires professionals of the Emercom of Russia to be constantly ready for physical and emotional overload, and to develop self-regulation skills. Their ability to maintain internal well-being often determines the outcome of emergency rescue, search and other urgent work. Intention. To study individual and personal characteristics of cadets of the Institute of the State Fire Service of the EMERCOM of Russia as psychological predictors of emotional and personal well-being. Methodology. The study involved 300 male cadets using such diagnostic methods as Self-Assessment of Emotional and Personal Well-being, Deviant Behavior, and Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory. Results and Discussion. According to the Self-Assessment of Emotional and Personal Well-being, 56 % of respondents have positive self-assessment (high and increased level of emotional and personal well-being), and 44 % - negative one (reduced and low). A lack of military-professional orientation, a tendency to addictive behavior, suicidal risk, aggression, anxiety, rigidity, low intensity and breadth of social contacts were associated with manifestations of emotional and personal distress in cadets. Conclusion. The studied individual and personal characteristics are predictors of emotional and personal well-being in cadets. The obtained data can be used for professional psychological selection in educational institutions of the Emercom of Russia, as well as for psychological prevention and correction to improve the psychological readiness of cadets for professional activities. © 2020 Nikiforov Russian Center of Emergency and Radiation Medicine, EMERCOM of Russia

Protein–protein interactions in carotenoid triggered quenching of phycobilisome fluorescence in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803

AbstractAn inquiry into the effect of temperature on carotenoid triggered quenching of phycobilisome (PBS) fluorescence in a photosystem II-deficient mutant of Synechocystis sp. results in identification of two temperature-dependent processes: one is responsible for the quenching rate, and one determines the yield of PBS fluorescence. Non-Arrhenius behavior of the light-on quenching rate suggests that carotenoid-absorbed light triggers a process that bears a strong resemblance to soluble protein folding, showing temperature-dependent enthalpy of activated complex formation. The response of PBS fluorescence yield to hydration changing additives and to passing of the membrane lipid phase transition point indicates that the pool size of PBSs subject to quenching depends on the state of some membrane component

Supernovae and their host galaxies - V. The vertical distribution of supernovae in disc galaxies

We present an analysis of the height distributions of the different types of supernovae (SNe) from the plane of their host galaxies. We use a well-defined sample of 102 nearby SNe appeared inside high-inclined (i > 85 deg), morphologically non-disturbed S0-Sd host galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. For the first time, we show that in all the subsamples of spirals, the vertical distribution of core-collapse (CC) SNe is about twice closer to the plane of host disc than the distribution of SNe Ia. In Sb-Sc hosts, the exponential scale height of CC SNe is consistent with those of the younger stellar population in the Milky Way (MW) thin disc, while the scale height of SNe Ia is consistent with those of the old population in the MW thick disc. We show that the ratio of scale lengths to scale heights of the distribution of CC SNe is consistent with those of the resolved young stars with ages from ~ 10 Myr up to ~ 100 Myr in nearby edge-on galaxies and the unresolved stellar population of extragalactic thin discs. The corresponding ratio for SNe Ia is consistent with the same ratios of the two populations of resolved stars with ages from a few 100 Myr up to a few Gyr and from a few Gyr up to ~ 10 Gyr, as well as with the unresolved population of the thick disc. These results can be explained considering the age-scale height relation of the distribution of stellar population and the mean age difference between Type Ia and CC SNe progenitors.Comment: 11 pages, 6 figures, 6 tables, accepted for publication in MNRA
