Having applied Holland’s, Klimov’s, Golomshtok’s, Ovcharova’s, and Vereshchagina’s diagnostic questionnaires, it has been concluded that investigative (individuals who choose scientific professions, are focused on solving intellectual creative tasks and possess the developed nonverbal and verbal intelligence) and artistic types (with originality of thoughts and extraordinary view of life) are peculiar to the majority of the respondents; the of “individual – individual” type is peculiar to the majority of the respondents, who choose communication-related professions; most of the respondents manifest interest in pedagogy; internal socially significant motives (professions that bring pleasure), the motive of social significance prevail in choosing a future profession.

PSYCHOLOGICAL WELL-BEING AS A PRECONDITION OF
FUTURE SPECIALIST’S PERSONAL AUTONOMY DEVELOPMENT

SUMMARY:

The relevance of the study is explained by the fact that in modern higher education the issue of personal autonomy of students is of special importance as it determines the amount and quality of the knowledge gained and the level of competence. The paper aims to assess the level of psychological well-being, depending on the year of study in an institution of higher education that is a necessary prerequisite for the development of personal autonomy of future specialists. There have been distinguished the main factors and components related to psychological mechanisms that determine the level of future specialist’s personal autonomy, including management of the environment and the nature of relationships. An empirical study was conducted using K. Ryff’s Scale of Psychological Well-being in the adaptation of S. Karskanova. The results of the research have shown that among the factors of psychological well-being only “autonomy” has distinct age dynamics, reducing depending on the duration of study. The number of students with the low level of “autonomy” increases depending on the year of study, the number of those with the average level – ranges, and the number of the respondents with the high level remains statistically unchanged. Among the factors of psychological well-being, “personal growth” and “objectives of life” have the highest rates, and “management of environment” and “autonomy” have the lowest ones. As a result of the research the need for the development of a special course “Psychology of Future Specialist’s Personal Autonomy” has been proved. The course is going to take into account the results of the carried out empirical research, including experience of subjective activity, interpersonal interaction experience of a future specialist as well as the conditions of modern educational environment, which is planned to be covered in the further research study.

KEYWORDS:

psychological well-being, independence, personality, future specialists, autonomy, positive relations with others.
