Introduction. The relevance of the study of the internal well-being of a person as a complex dynamic system is due to the need for empirical verification of post-non-classical ideas about complex psychological phenomena, which involves the comparison of various theoretical constructs and research tools related to the studied psychological phenomenon. Materials and methods. The sample was made up of cadets of the power university in the number of 169 people. Three methods of studying internal well-being based on different theoretical constructs were used: the author's method "Self-assessment of emotional and personal well-being (SEPWB-24)", "Scale of psychological well-being" by K. Riff, the method "Subjective well-being" by R. M. Shamionov, T. V. Beskova. Results. On the basis of the Spearman correlation analysis, reliable (at p ≤ 0,001) relationships between all scales of the three methods used were confirmed. This can be seen as the presence of the general G-factor of "inner well-being". Differences in the strength of the relationships between the scales within the methods and between the scales of different methods are revealed, and different solutions are obtained in the factor analysis, which indicates the presence of S and U factors-determinants of internal well-being as a complex dynamic system.

Well-being is an essential concept in a human’s life as it is an emotional state that significantly influences our lifestyle. This study aims to develop a Malaysian male well-being indicator using the intrapersonal communication perspective. In this study, a self assessment instrument was constructed based on the self-concept theory in order to understand the respondent's well-being. This study applied mixed-methodology. Qualitative approach was used to build the well-being dimension and indicator based on some previous studies, while the quantitative approach was done to determine which construct is considered valid to measure male well-being, and how reliable those constructs are. Data collection phase was run through an online cross-sectional survey by using Survey Monkey platform. A total of 290 respondents consisting of Malaysian men aged 18 years and above participated in this study. The EFA results showed that there were 33 items classified under six well-being main components with having an effective and excellent level of consistency effectiveness, where Cronbach's Alpha for these six components gives a value of more than .70. This study, in overall, found that the well-being indicator was represented by one item on self-assessment that measures well-being dimension. Through the findings obtained, this study is expected to open a wider space for the upcoming studies on male well-being in Malaysia. However, it is suggested that this study needs to be continued with confirmatory factor analysis to validate this well-being indicator as a valid instrument to measure male well-being in Malaysia. Keywords: Well-being, subjective well-being, intrapersonal communication, self-concept theory, self assessment.

This study examines the psychometric properties of the Russian-version of G. Spanier’s Dyadic Adjustment Scale (DAS). 302 subjects (84 couples) participated in this research and each partner responded individually to the PFB or to both scales. The results of the exploratory factor analysis revealed a three-factor structure of the scale, which was endorsed by the means of confirmatory factor analysis. Three subscales and total score revealed appropriate reliability — internal consistency and split reliability. The construct validity was confirmed by correlations between DAS subscales and other instruments testing theoretically close constructs. External validity was confirmed by correlations between DAS subscales and perfectionism which shows that mentally focusing on one’s imperfections and failures is negatively related to subjective well-being in a marriage.

The article developed a basic simulation model of diversification of foreign economic interactions, which makes it possible to assess the mutual influence of key economic indicators and their reaction to changes in the equilibrium in world markets. The peculiarity of the developed model of diversification of foreign economic interactions is its functioning as a complex dynamic system in which many factors are interrelated, and the connections are dynamic. This makes it possible to calculate a simulation model that takes into account hidden and subtle connections. While modeling foreign economic interactions and evaluating the influence of various regulators on them, in addition to the stage of model development itself, mandatory parameterization of this model is proposed, that is, the determination of specific types of dependence between the factors included in the model and the parameters of these dependencies. The implementation of this model can be carried out in any simulation package.

By studying human’s spiritual world earnestly and comprehensively, you can learn that human’s spiritual world is hierarchical. The spiritual world is an extremely complex dynamic system consisting of 4 interconnected hierarchies. The dynamic system is composed of cognitive system, dynamical system, reflection-controlling system and operating system. Human’s spiritual world determines people’s way of response and action. All the thoughts and behaviors of people are the result of all the subsystems in human spiritual world.
