The relevance of the study is due to the fact that every year energy problems are becoming more acute. It is associated with limited reserves of energy resources and the need for their rational consumption. To solve the existing energy problems, the joint efforts of specialists in various fields of knowledge are required. Psychological science, possessing extensive empirical data in the field of human interaction with the environment, can offer its own options for solving energy problems. The purpose of our study was to identify the features of proenvironmental behavior of students in the field of energy consumption. The results obtained can make a significant contribution to the development of specific practical steps for the formation and development of proenvironmental behavior among students. Materials and methods. The study involved 197 university students of the State University of Humanities and Social Studies (Kolomna), 59 males and 138 females (M = 18.4, SD = 1.3). The study was carried out using the Big Five Questionnaire-2-R (as adapted by E. Osin et al.), the Portrait Values Questionnaire-Revised-2R S. Schwartz, the Zimbardo Time Perspective Inventory (ZTPI) (as adapted by A. Syrtsova, E. Sokolova and O. Mitina). To highlight the levels of formation of proenvironmental behavior of university students in the field of energy consumption, it was used the designer’s questionnaire aimed at determining the features of energy saving behavior in young men and women the level of its “proenvironmentalism”. As a result, it was found that for the successful implementation of proenvironmental behavior, it is significant that the student is focused more on the interests of other people than on his own; it is important not only the presence of proenvironmental values, but also their combination with the personality traits “empathy” (0,668), “amiability” (0,596), “pedantry” (0,590). Proenvironmental actions require the student to be active, to strive to achieve the set goal, to show perseverance.

The purpose of this study was to explore how undergraduate university students react to chess instruction. Certain patterns emerged from 10 offerings of a Freshman Seminar entitled “Beginners’ Chess and 21st Century Thinking Skills”. The course enrolled only first-year and second-year undergraduate students at a large public state university in the USA. The students tended to have little or no knowledge of chess prior to the course. The course made extensive use of chess-related websites available on the Internet such as chess.com, lichess.org, and chessgames.com. The instruction involved the projection of a chess-related website projected onto a large classroom screen with the use of an instructor’s computer connected to a projector that projected the computer-based image onto the screen. The course had 10-20 students in each annual offering of the course that lasted 15 weeks. The student evaluations of the course were very positive, indicating that the students enjoyed the course very much. The course involved instruction in chess on topics such as tactics and basic checkmates along with instruction on the cognitive psychological foundations of chess on topics such as problem solving and critical thinking. The primary task in the course was that each student had to prepare a critical evaluation of two of their own chess games that included correct usage of proper algebraic notation for the chess moves. The chess activity that the students enjoyed the most was group competition.

The article analyzes the results of an empirical study of Moldovan youth on the perception of their group in the past, present and future. The sample consisted of 200 respondents, Moldovans, university students in Chisinau. The basis for dividing the group of Moldovan youth into “optimists” and “pessimists” was their attitude to the future of their ethnic group. An empirical study of the characteristics of the perception of their group in the time perspective among young people of Moldovans revealed a great variability from “optimists”, who accounted for 43%, to “pessimists”, – 29%, which, according to researchers, is a reflection of the socio-cultural transformations taking place in Moldovan society.
