Relationship between Stylistic Characteristics of Humor and Types of Coping Behavior in Students

Background. Today, the development of adaptive coping behavior is extremely relevant. Some studies show that humor is an indicator of psychological adaptation. However, the relation between different styles of humor and different styles of coping behavior has not been studied. Objective. The study aims to identify the relationship between the stylistic characteristics of humor and the types of coping behavior among students. Methods. The study was conducted with the use of two diagnostic methods. The first is a questionnaire of humor styles by R. Martin (adapted in Russian by Ivanov et al., 2013). The second one is a coping test by R. Lazarus (adapted in Russian by Kryukov, Kuftyak, 2007). Sample. The study involved 120 students of Moscow universities aged from 17 to 30 years (78.3% are female). Results. Exploratory factor analysis revealed 3 groups of coping behavior strategies among students. These were strategies focused on the person (1), on interacting with society (2), on changing the situation (3) in stress. It was found that the strategy groups (1) and (2) correlated with the affiliation style of humor. Group (3) correlated with a self-supporting style of humor (Ro-Spearman, p < 0,05). Clustering by K-means method identified 3 groups of respondents. In each group, respondents used different coping strategies. We compare the groups (ANOVA) and got that the affiliation style of humor is less expressed among students who often use coping strategies focused on changing the situation (p < 0.001). Conclusion. Coping behavior among students is rather associated with supportive humor styles than with destructive humor styles. These results are of scientific significance, complementing the current knowledge about coping behavior. They can also be used in psychological trainings for students

The new functional products inclusion in the complex rehabilitation and preventive programs in athletes with musculoskeletal disorders

The review presents an urgent problem of modern sports medicine — the development and inclusion of new nutritive and metabolic food products in the treatment of athletes with injuries and diseases of the musculoskeletal system. The analysis of the main etiological factors of the musculoskeletal disorders in athletes is presented. The study of the anatomical, histological and functional features of the bone-cartilaginous structures in athletes made it possible to establish the priority macro- and micronutrients, which should be the basis in modern specialized and functional food products. Brief composition characteristics of the new canned food “Enmit-beef” and dry protein concentrate “Ostov” (for the drink preparation) are presented. The preliminary results of the use of these functional meat-based products indicate their effectiveness in rehabilitation and treatment of athletes with musculoskeletal disorders

Analytical Bound State Solutions of the Klein-Fock-Gordon Equation for the Sum of Hulthén and Yukawa Potential within SUSY Quantum Mechanics

The relativistic wave equations determine the dynamics of quantum fields in the context of quantum field theory. One of the conventional tools for dealing with the relativistic bound state problem is the Klein-Fock-Gordon equation. In this work, using a developed scheme, we present how to surmount the centrifugal part and solve the modified Klein-Fock-Gordon equation for the linear combination of Hulthén and Yukawa potentials. In particular, we show that the relativistic energy eigenvalues and corresponding radial wave functions are obtained from supersymmetric quantum mechanics by applying the shape invariance concept. Here, both scalar potential conditions, which are whether equal and nonequal to vector potential, are considered in the calculation. The energy levels and corresponding normalized eigenfunctions are represented as a recursion relation regarding the Jacobi polynomials for arbitrary l states. Beyond that, a closed form of the normalization constant of the wave functions is found. Furthermore, we state that the energy eigenvalues are quite sensitive with potential parameters for the quantum states. The nonrelativistic and relativistic results obtained within SUSY QM overlap entirely with the results obtained by ordinary quantum mechanics, and it displays that the mathematical implementation of SUSY quantum mechanics is quite perfect

Loading mode of a ferromagnetic current stabilizer

The article discusses the analysis of the steady-state mode of a ferrimagnetic current stabilizer with active-inductive and active-capacitive loads, for assessing energy and operational indicators. The constructed adjustment characteristics determine the zone of stabilizations, which depend on the parameters of the device
