Introduction. Maintaining student psychological health is a strategic problem faced by the Ukrainian society. This problem is sensitive to the influences of civilization, as well as social and psychological factors, which makes it necessary to study student psychological health and develop measures to optimize it. Psychological health is associated with individuals stress resistance, harmony and spirituality. The authors treat psychological health in accordance with the systemic approach as a dynamic complex system that ensures the integrity of the individual and is a prerequisite for their active lifestyle, effective interaction with the environment and self-realization. Individuals integrity is key to identifying their activity, initiative and individuality. The aim of the study: to identify the components of Ukrainian studentsʼ psychological health and these components quantitative values. Research methods. The authors used a set of instruments for studying the components of student psychological health. Results. Student psychological health was found to be made up of the cognitive, emotional, behavioral and value-motivational components, whose quantitative manifestations were described in the article. In particular, it was found that every third respondent had low self-esteem, self-understanding and self-liking, which are the components of the cognitive component of psychological health, with fairly high integrated self-esteem, self-interest and reflexivity. A significant part of the respondents was shown to have low ability to control their emotions and self-motivate as well as to have difficulties in recognizing the emotions of others (emotional component). On the other hand, most students were well-adjusted in socially and psychologically and quite stress-resistant. The value-motivational component of student psychological health was quite developed. It is advisable to improve students ability to set their goals in life, enjoy life, and make sense of life. Conclusions. The obtained data are important for the organization of effective student psychological support in order to preserve their psychological health.

The article examines ethnic identity on two levels. Ethnic self-awareness at the level of an ethnos acts as a system unifying common ideas shared by the majority of ethnos members about their ethnic group, the main features of their culture and their ethnic psyche. This is a system of views, ideas and perceptions of an ethnic group that appears because of interactions with other groups and reflects the group’s knowledge of them, attitude towards them. A group’s ethnic identity is reflected in its language, in the system of its customs and traditions, in myths and national styles. Ethnic self-awareness at the level of an individual acts as an integral system of ideas about oneself, is closely connected with the individual’s image on their own ethnic group. It provides a group member with a sense of belonging to the corresponding ethnic community, which is necessary for an individual’s psychological health and social comfort, a full-fledged life. Such self-awareness is formed throughout the entire period of human development, from childhood to maturity. The authors prove the thesis that the structure of ethnic self-awareness is crystallized due to emotional connections formed during socialization. Ethnic self-awareness is a coded emotional-cognitive component that has both objective and subjective forms of expression. The formation of a person as a representative of a certain ethnic group take place through the interiorization of those cultural and social values ​​and relations that form the basis of their ethnic group’s social life. The emotional component of ethnic self-awareness includes a sense of national dignity. Ethnic identity is an essential component in the structure of an ethnos, along with such components as a common origin, culture, language. This is not only an awareness of one’s identity with their ethnic community, but also includes assessment of one’s own ethnic group, feeling of significance to be its members, common ethnic feelings, which are the most important criteria for interethnic comparison. So, the structure of ethnic identity is multifaceted, all structural elements are closely interconnected and interact with each other at different levels and at different stages of ethnos development, acquiring a leading value.

The image of the physical I am tightly connected with self-esteem, as the cognitive component is not perceived by the person indifferent, but awakens in her the assessments and emotions, the intensity of which depends on the context and the cognitive content itself.  Global self-expression, which symbolizes the individual's feelings for or against, has a macrostructure that contains four emotional components and two subsystems: the self-esteem system and the emotional-value system. Self-esteem develops on the basis of leading activity, hierarchy of values, basic motives, social ideas, stereotypes, standards, norms of behavior in relation to which a person conceives his / her self and creates personal meanings.  The structure of self-esteem can be expressed as follows: First, there is some generalized self-esteem (self-esteem, self-esteem), which is a holistic, one-dimensional and universal formation, which expresses the degree of positive attitude of the individual to his own imagination of the image of "I";  second, this generalized self-integration is in some way integrated with partial self-esteem according to their subjective significance.

The article is devoted to the theoretical and empirical research of the relationship between self-attitude and emotional experiences, and the hardiness of the individual. Hardiness is seen as an integral characteristic of personality that has a connection with the individual properties of the individual at every level of the individual. The study involved 147 people of all ages. The following diagnostic methods were used: Stolin-Panteleev self-attitude questionnaire, test "Scale of differential emotions" K. Izard, S. Muddy’s hardiness test (adaptation by D. O. Leontiev, O. I. Raskazova). The analysis of the results of the self-attitude survey showed that the indicator "Global self-attitude" in the subjects is at a high positive level. Components of self-attitude such as "Self-interest" and "Self-understanding" also scored the most points. The research of the emotional sphere showed the presence of different types of emotions, both positive and negative in the emotional life of the subjects. Correlation analysis revealed the existence of a link between self-attitude and emotional experiences. The results of the research of hardiness showed the development of this characteristic within the average values. Correlation analysis (Pearson’s correlation coefficient) showed a high level of correlation between the indicators of self-assessment "Global self-attitude" and "Self-esteem" with hardiness, and also inverse correlations between «Acute negative emotions», «Anxious and depressive emotions» and hardiness. The weakest relationship with hardiness was observed in the scale "Attitude of others". Regression analysis allowed us to build a model that explained the high level of dispersion of hardiness. This model includes components of self-attitude and emotional experiences: "Self-esteem", "Self-interest", «Anxious and depressive emotions», "Attitudes of others", "Self-foam". Among these components, the level of hardiness is most affected by "Self-esteem". Research has shown that there is a link between self-attitude, emotional experiences and hardiness. Also was shown that self-attitude and emotional experiences affects the level of hardiness.

Ιmmigrants’ psychological health has been the focus of many studies as it is a timely subject due to the increasing numbers of immigrants and refugees who enter Greece the recent decades, and the resulting anxiety that this process brings about to the individual. The aim of the present study was to examine the relationship between immigrants’ and Greeks’ anxiety, self-esteem and depression. In addition, the present study aimed to compare the psychological health between immigrants and Greeks. The participants were 115 Albanian, 118 Indian immigrants, and 116 Greeks. Τhe Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, the CES-D Scale, and the State Anxiety Inventory were administrated for measuring self-esteem, depression, and anxiety, respectively. To test the bivariate relationships between the study variables, Pearson product-moment correlation coefficients were calculated. The potential differences of psychological health between immigrant groups were examined with ANOVA, and multiple linear regression was used to predict the variance of depression by self-esteem and anxiety, after controlling for ethnicity and demographics. Moreover, moderation analysis was used to examine the moderation role of self-esteem in the relationship between anxiety and depression and possible differences between ethnic groups. In line with our hypotheses, immigrants had higher levels of depression and lower self-esteem scores, compared to Greeks. However, Indians reported the lower levels of anxiety compared to both Albanians and Greeks. Differences were also observed between the two immigrant groups, with Albanians experiencing more mental health problems than Indians. Both self-esteem and anxiety explained a large proportion of the variance of depression in immigrants (45%), thus substantiating our theoretical model (i.e., depression depends on individuals’ anxiety and self-esteem). Consistent to our expectations too, self-esteem was a moderator in the relationship between anxiety and depression; no differences between ethnic groups were observed though (e.g., the level of self-esteem acted protectively in the same way in Albanians, Indians, and Greeks). Despite the limitations, the findings of this study could be particularly useful to clinicians working with immigrants. Coping effectively with anxiety and enhancing immigrants’ self-esteem could be tailored-based targets for both prevention and intervention programs.Ιmmigrants’ psychological health has been the focus of many studies as it is a timely subject due to the increasing numbers of immigrants and refugees who enter Greece the recent decades, and the resulting anxiety that this process brings about to the individual.

Abstract. Background: Self-esteem is a major contributor to risk for repeated suicide attempts. Prior research has shown that awareness of stigma is associated with reduced self-esteem among people with mental illness. No prior studies have examined the association between self-esteem and stereotype awareness among individuals with past suicide attempts. Aims: To understand the relationship between stereotype awareness and self-esteem among young adults who have and have not attempted suicide. Method: Computerized surveys were administered to college students (N = 637). Linear regression analyses were used to test associations between self-esteem and stereotype awareness, attempt history, and their interaction. Results: There was a significant stereotype awareness by attempt interaction (β = –.74, p = .006) in the regression analysis. The interaction was explained by a stronger negative association between stereotype awareness and self-esteem among individuals with past suicide attempts (β = –.50, p = .013) compared with those without attempts (β = –.09, p = .037). Conclusion: Stigma is associated with lower self-esteem within this high-functioning sample of young adults with histories of suicide attempts. Alleviating the impact of stigma at the individual (clinical) or community (public health) levels may improve self-esteem among this high-risk population, which could potentially influence subsequent suicide risk.

Abstract. The importance of various trait dimensions explaining positive global self-esteem has been the subject of numerous studies. While some have provided support for the importance of agency, others have highlighted the importance of communion. This discrepancy can be explained, if one takes into account that people define and value their self both in individual and in collective terms. Two studies ( N = 367 and N = 263) examined the extent to which competence (an aspect of agency), morality, and sociability (the aspects of communion) promote high self-esteem at the individual and the collective level. In both studies, competence was the strongest predictor of self-esteem at the individual level, whereas morality was the strongest predictor of self-esteem at the collective level.

The work is devoted to the consideration of improving the quality of teaching students the discipline “Numerical methods” through the development of the cognitive component of computational thinking based on blended learning. The article presents a methodology for the formation of computational thinking of mathematics students, based on the visualization of algorithmic design schemes and the activation of the cognitive independence of students. The characteristic of computational thinking is given, the content and structure of computational thinking are shown. It is argued that a student with such a mind is able to manifest himself in his professional field in the best possible way. The results of the application of the technique are described. To determine the level of development of the cognitive component of computational thinking, a diagnostic model has been developed based on measuring the content, operational and motivational components. It is shown that the proposed method of developing computational thinking of students, taking into account the individual characteristics of students’ thinking, meaningfully based on the theoretical and practical aspects of studying the discipline, increases the effectiveness of learning the course “Numerical methods”. The materials of the article are of practical value for teachers of mathematical disciplines who use information and telecommunication technologies in their professional activities.

The urgency of the researched problem is connected with the growing role of mass media in modern conditions leads to change of values and transformation of identity of the person. The active growth of the role of the media, their influence on the formation and development of personality leads to the concept of “media socialization” and immutation in the media. The aim of the study is to outline the possibilities of the process of media socialization in the context of immutation in the media. The methods of our research are: analysis of pedagogical, psychological, literature, synthesis, comparison, generalization. The article analyzes the views of domestic and foreign scientists on the problem of immutation in the media and the transformation of the information space. In the context of the mass nature of the immutation of society, the concept of “media socialization” becomes relevant, which is the basis for reducing the negative impact of the media on the individual.The author identifies the lack of a thorough study of the concept of “media socialization” in modern scientific thought. Thus, media socialization is associated with the transformation of traditional means of socialization, and is to assimilate and reproduce the social experience of mankind with the help of new media.The article analyzes the essence of the concepts “media space”, “mass media” and “immutation”. The influence of mass media on the formation and development of the modern personality is described in detail.The study concluded that it is necessary to form a media culture of the individual, to establish safe and effective interaction of young people with the modern media system, the formation of media awareness, media literacy and media competence in accordance with age and individual characteristics for successful media socialization. The role of state bodies in solving the problem of media socialization of the individual was also determined. It is determined that the process of formation of media culture in youth should take place at the level of traditional institutions of socialization of the individual.The author sees the prospect of further research in a detailed analysis and study of the potential of educational institutions as an institution and a means of counteracting the mass nature of the immutation of society.Key words: immutation, media socialization, mass media, media space, information.
