PSYCHOMETRIC ANALYSIS OF THE AUTHOR’S QUESTIONNAIRE “TYPES AND MOTIVES OF DECEPTION”

SUMMARY:

The problem’s relevance. In contemporary Ukrainian psychological practice, there is a significant deficit of standardized Ukrainian-language instruments for diagnosing personality’s propensity for various forms of insincere behavior. Deception as a phenomenon of human behavior has a multifaceted nature and requires a comprehensive approach to study. Aim. Development and psychometric validation of the author’s Ukrainian-language questionnaire “Types and Motives of Deception” for comprehensive diagnosis of personality’s propensity for various forms of insincere behavior and identification of deception motives. Methods. Internal consistency analysis (Cronbach’s α), correlation analysis (Pearson coefficient), exploratory factor analysis (principal components method with varimax rotation), confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) using IBM SPSS AMOS 26. Sample: N = 570 respondents (18–55 years, 64% female). Results. The questionnaire contains 65 statements rated on a 4-point Likert scale. The structure includes 13 deception type scales and 8 motive scales. Most scales demonstrate acceptable reliability (α = 0.71–0.88). Construct validity was confirmed through correlation analysis: logically expected relationships between motives and types of deception were identified. Factor analysis (KMO = 0.81) revealed six higher-order factors: “egoistic/utilitarian”, “prosocial/ altruistic”, “self-protective/internal”, “self-presentational/expressive”, “creative/playful” and “erroneous/unconscious” deception. CFA confirmed structural validity (CFI = 0.95, RMSEA = 0.06) and full coverage of Shkuratova I.P.’s scales, enhancing construct and convergent validity. Normative levels for result interpretation were developed. Convergent validity is confirmed by high correlations (r = 0.70–0.87) with validated instruments (LPQ, PDS, BIDR, etc.). Conclusions. The “Types and Motives of Deception” questionnaire is the first Ukrainian-language comprehensive instrument for diagnosing propensity for various forms of insincere behavior. The methodology can be used for professional selection, work with offenders, and counseling practice for diagnosing propensity for insincere behavior.

PERSONAL FEATURES OF SOCIO-PSYCHOLOGICAL ADAPTATION OF INTERNALLY DISPLACED PERSONS IN CRISIS CONDITIONS

SUMMARY:

The article is devoted to the study of socio-psychological adaptation of internally displaced persons in wartime conditions. The article presents the results of an empirical study of personal factors of socio-psychological adaptation of internally displaced persons (IDPs) in conditions of full-scale war. The research method also determined the schematization of the resource-dynamic model of personality adaptation, conducted a corresponding empirical study of the features of socio-psychological adaptation of IDPs, as well as analyzed its relationships with anxiety, self-esteem, life positions and adaptive personality characteristics, in particular, internal resources of the personality. The study involved 258 respondents, including 116 internally displaced persons from different regions of Ukraine, 71 IDPs from Mariupol and 71 persons without IDP status. The socio-psychological adaptation questionnaire by K. Rogers and R. Diamond, Beck's anxiety scale, M. Rosenberg's self-esteem scale, T. Harris's life positions methodology and the Wiesbaden researcher of positive and family psychotherapy (WIPPF) N. Pezeshkian were used, which allows assessing personal characteristics, internal resources and ways of processing conflicts. Descriptive statistics methods, correlation analysis (Pearson's r) and comparison of correlations using Fisher's z-transformation criterion were used. It was established that anxiety is the leading maladaptive factor of respondents, demonstrating a negative relationship with the integral indicator of adaptation, which is why its most sensitive component to anxiety is emotional comfort. Self-esteem, internal and resources have a stable positive relationship with adaptation. The most significant resource personal characteristics are perceived as contact, trust, activity and perseverance. In the subgroup of IDPs from Mariupol, the relationship between anxiety and adaptation is statistically stronger, which affects the strengthening of the maladaptive impact of anxiety in conditions of intense traumatic experience. The obtained confirmed results provide a resource-dynamic model of adaptation and can be used to develop psychological support programs aimed at reducing anxiety and developing the internal potential of the individual.

A RESOURCE-BASED MODEL OF PSYCHOLOGICAL READINESS OF TERRITORIAL COMMUNITY RESIDENTS FOR CRISIS SITUATIONS

SUMMARY:

Ukrainian territorial communities currently function under conditions of war and prolonged crises, which intensify psychological strain and increase the need to strengthen psychological readiness for effective crisis response. This study aims to theoretically substantiate and develop a resource-based model of psychological readiness among territorial community residents. To achieve this goal, we conducted a theoretical analysis of research on psychological readiness and crisis response. We conceptualize psychological readiness as an integrative socio-psychological construct that emerges from the interaction of psychological and social resources and manifests in proactive and coordinated behavior under conditions of uncertainty. The proposed resource-based model conceptualizes psychological readiness as a two-level system integrating individual and collective dimensions. At the individual level, psychological readiness is supported by three groups of resources: cognitive resources (adequate risk perception, positive outcome expectations, self-efficacy, awareness, and critical information processing); emotional-regulatory resources (emotional intelligence, the ability to regulate anxiety and panic reactions, and stress resilience); behavioral resources (prior crisis response experience, volitional self-regulation, internal locus of control, and the ability to mobilize social support). At the collective level, readiness depends on community social resources, including social cohesion, collective efficacy, support networks, leadership capacity, trust in institutions, cooperation between residents and local authorities, practical preparedness, and information accessibility. Self-efficacy functions as the system-forming component of the model by integrating psychological and social resources and facilitating their transformation into proactive behavior. The proposed model can inform the design of programs aimed at enhancing community psychological readiness for crisis situations.
