Published: May 1, 2024

Метою є теоретико-емпіричне дослідження психологічних особливостей і типів самоорганізованості студентської молоді в умовах соціальної невизначеності. Методи. Вибіркову сукупність склали здобувачі трьох рівнів вищої освіти, які навчалися університетах України, загальною кількістю 362 особи (M = 22.86; SD ±2.84). Важливим критерієм, що об’єднав досліджуваних те, під час воєнного стану всі вони опинилися у складній соціальній ситуації, а їхнє проживання навчання зазнало суттєвих просторово-часових змістових змін. Застосовано психодіагностичні методики, пройшли апробацію дослідниками-психологами на українських вибірках. Основні виміри параметрів готовності до змін, самоорганізації та саморегуляції визначено: “Опитувальником особистісної змін” (ООГЗ) (Rollnick et al., 1992); “Тест-опитувальником діяльності” (ТОСД) (Мандрикова, 2010); опитувальником “Стиль поведінки” (ССП) (Morosanova, 1991). Результати. З’ясовано двадцять п’ять статистично достовірних зв’язків (р<.050; р<.010; <.001), продемонстрували закономірні залежності параметрів. Кластерним аналізом методом k-середніх установлено чотири типи невизначеності: “Авантюрна самоорганізованість” (АС) (кластер 1, n 47; 12.98%); “Оптимістична (ОС) 2, 143; 39.50%); “Пристрасна (ПС) 3, 97; 26.80%) “Толеруюча (ТС) 4, 75; 20.72%). Дискусія висновки. Обґрунтовано, “авантюрність”, яка володіє найміцнішим прямим зв’язком із “цілеспрямованістю” (R 231; p небезпечною. Пояснено, високий рівень цілеспрямованості, конструктивної амбіційності, який притаманний лідерам студентських організацій, безумовно межує з авантюрністю, юнацьким максималізмом може приносити рекордні результати подвиги, також мати зворотні наслідки глибокі розчарування. “АС” “ПС” деструктивними, “ОС” “ТС” – конструктивними типами самоорганізованості. Узагальнено, окреслені вдалою спробою кластеризації емпіричного масиву даних метою з’ясування нових знань. Рекомендовано отримані впровадити структурні підрозділи закладів працюють зі студентською молоддю.
