The purpose of this study is to analyze the differences in psychological characteristics (i.e., irrational beliefs) and social adaptation according to a participant’s level of addiction to online sports gambling (i.e., non-problem, low-risk, moderate-risk, and high-risk gamblers). A survey was completed by participants of online sports gambling, aged 19 years or older; 291 completed questionnaires were obtained and analyzed using multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA). As results of this study, according to the level of addiction to online sports gambling, there were significant differences on people’s mental state and social adaptation. Specifically, the more people are attached to a group that is exposed to high gambling addiction risk, the more they tend to become irrational while gambling, adopt an overconfident viewpoint, and overestimate their techniques. Moreover, as addiction to online sports gambling worsens, adaptation problems begin to appear in their work and family lives. This study demonstrated that people who are addicted to online sports gambling tend to find difficulties in thinking reasonably and logically and struggle to lead normal lives. By raising awareness on online sports gambling addiction, this study could suggest a way out of the difficulty.

The article analyses measures constituting the content of probation in Ukraine. The authors concluded that the introduction of the institution of probation in Ukraine was guided by authorities’ determination to solve the problem of employment for the released detainees and decrease their reoffending rate. In Ukraine, probation is exercised at three levels: pre-trial, supervisory and penitentiary. Pre-trial probation provides the court with formalized information about the accused is based on the assumption that crime as a socially dangerous act should not be considered by the court in isolation from the person who committed it. Supervisory probation intends to undertake supervisory, social and educational measures towards persons sentenced to certain punishments specified by law. Penitentiary probation assists the convicts who are preparing to be released from prisons with determining places of their residence after their release, providing them with in-patient services in health centres, and other things aimed at their adaptation in the society. The institution of probation was concluded to have a positive economic effect in terms of the state as the person staying in the society continues to pay taxes and tend to decrease the crime rate. For a person who has committed a crime, this is a chance to correct his behaviour, and retain his social ties, work and family. For the society, it means the existence of fair justice to maintain balance between punishment and the interests of the society. The article considers the drawbacks of probation in Ukraine such as insufficient level of transparency in the operation of the probation body and the violations by the staff of this institution (improper social and educational work with convicts, a formal approach to working out the individual plans on convicts), which significantly reduce its efficiency. The authors also examined the system of social adaptation of convicts in Russia, analysed the features of the probation system in Latvia having revealed the common and distinctive features in relation with those in Ukraine and offered improvements for the Ukrainian system of probation.

The study of factors influencing the success of rehabilitation of persons with acquired musculoskeletal disorders acquired in adulthood is determined by the increasing role in the psychological support and integration of such individuals into society, as well as the lack of methodological approaches and proven recommendations aimed at improving the rehabilitation process. The paper presents the psychological characteristics of people with musculoskeletal disorders acquired in adulthood. According to the results of psychodiagnostic examination, the program of psychological support for persons with musculoskeletal disorders has been developed. The aim of the study was to study the psychological characteristics of persons with acquired disorders of musculoskeletal disorders, to develop and evaluate the effectiveness of the program of psychological rehabilitation. We used the following research methods: clinical and psychological, psychodiagnostic, statistical, methods of analysis of empirical data. The ascertaining study was carried out with two groups: with disorders of the musculoskeletal disorders and without violations of the musculoskeletal disorders (the total number of participants was 60 people). Diagnostic tools: questionnaire Adaptability (A.G. Maklakov, S.V. Chermyanin), Freiburg personality questionnaire (modified by A.A. Krylov, T.I. Ronginskaya), Style of self-regulation of behavior (V.I. Morosanov), Test of resilience (S. Maddy, adaptation by DA Leontiev). Statistical data processing was carried out using the following criteria: Mann-Whitney U-test, Wilcoxon T-test using SPSS Statistics 19. It was revealed that persons with acquired disorders of musculoskeletal disorders are characterized by low adaptive abilities, an increased level of neuropsychic stress. Characterized by an insufficient level of self-regulation, the ability to consciously plan activities. It is determined that resilience is characterized by low involvement, insufficient ability to overcome life difficulties. It is shown that a personal factor that enhances maladjustment is low contact, emotional tension when interacting with others. The proposed program of psychological assistance to persons with disorders of the musculoskeletal system helps to overcome passivity, alienation; the formation of independence, responsibility, an active life position, a system of value orientations, strengthening of social position, and, ultimately, successful social adaptation.

<p>There is a paramount importance of Job Satisfaction of the employees of an organization for the smooth functioning of its work. It has substantial impact on workers’ performance. RMG workers of Bangladesh are enormous in number and instrumental to the economic growth of Bangladesh. But the salary and other benefits of these workers are very low compared to that of other industrial sectors. Sometimes, the salary and benefits are not even paid on time to the workers. As a result, a serious concern has been raised by the national and international stakeholders about the job satisfaction of RMG workers. Therefore, this study aims at identifying the job satisfaction factors of the RMG workers and providing suggestions for the improvement of present situation. For analyzing data multivariate analysis techniques are used by using Smart PLS, and SPSS. Salary and benefits, supervisor’s behavior, work and family life, working condition and the working environment are identified as factors having influence on job satisfaction of RMG workers in Bangladesh. Results show that the salary and benefits, supervisor’s behavior, work and family life are significantly related to the job satisfaction of the workers. This study suggests that for ensuring job satisfaction of the RMG workers in Bangladesh the policy makers should focus more on salary and benefits, supervisors’ behavior, and work and family life of the workers.</p>
