Relevance. Due to the digital transformation of society, in modern psychology arises the question of what impact this transformation has on people, in particular, how computer-game involvement manifests itself and what causes it. Purpose. This paper aims to investigate the psychological predictors of various types of involvement in computer games. Method and sampling. 124 computer game players aged 18 to 30 (M = 25,08), including 64 women and 60 men participated in the study. 6 types of computer game involvement: «Addiction», «Sense of community», «Emotional support», «Immersion», «Flow» and «Identification», obtained as a result of the development of the author’s questionnaire, were analyzed. Results and conclusions. Personality traits along with crisis experience and stressors in various proportions act as predictors of each type of computer-gaming involvement. Types «Addiction», «Immersion» and «Flow» are more accounted for by personality traits, «Sense of community» — by personality traits and crisis experiences, «Identification» — by stress-suffering, and «Emotional support» is caused by a negative image of the surrounding reality.

Aim. The study is focused on studying the manifestations of resilience, self-activation and coping strategies of mothers depending on the type of challenge, assessment of its strength and the presence/absence of disability in their children. Materials and methods. The study involved women (N=271) aged 24 to 55 years, including 156 mothers of healthy children and 115 mothers of children with disabilities. A socio-biographical questionnaire and a package of techniques were used: Self-activation technique (M.A. Odintsova, N.P. Radchikova); Resilience test (E.N. Osin, E.I. Rasskazova); SORET questionnaire (E.I. Rasskazova, T.O. Gordeeva, E.N. Osin). Results and conclusions. The relationship between the social and demographic characteristics of mothers and their assessments of the situation of the call is revealed. Less constructive coping strategies (mental withdrawal from the problem, denial, behavioral care, etc.) are more often used by mothers with a high assessment of the strength of the challenge; positive reformulation, humor and planning are more often used with low assessments of the strength of the challenges, regardless of the presence of disabled children in the family. Mothers raising children with disabilities are characterized by lower rates of physical activation, the level of which is lower with high estimates of the strength of the challenge.

Relevance. The article presents an overview of studies on clinical, psychological and socio–demographic factors of suicidal behavior and the risk of its chronicity. According to the WHO, 800,000 people die each year by suicide, and many others seek help from medical centers after a suicide attempt. Suicide and suicide attempts are a medical, social and psychological problem. Purpose of the study. Evaluation of the role of various factors in the chronification of suicidal behavior and an increase in its risk. Results. According to numerous studies, most often repeated suicide attempts are made by people with borderline personality disorder and other personality disorders, often in combination with depressive and anxiety symptoms. The motives for suicide in this group of patients may be emotional regulation, coping with dissociation, stress, and more often do not contain the desire to die. This group of patients tend to self-cut in the limbs or attempt self-poisoning. A distinctive feature of suicide attempts in individuals with schizophrenia, severe depression and bipolar disorder is the intention to die, combined with more severe methods of self-harm, in contrast to patients with personality disorders. The risk of chronification of suicidal behavior is higher in people of working age who have experience in the use of psychoactive substances, low social status and wealth, and the unemployed. This group of patients needs to be provided with medical, psycho-social assistance, since without treatment and psychological support, the risk of chronification of suicidal behavior, an increase in symptoms of depression and the completion of suicide increases. Conclusions. Chronic suicidal behavior requires active interdisciplinary team work with patients based on a biopsychosocial model already at the stage of the first hospital admission after a suicide attempt. It is important to take into account the specifics and characteristics of suicidal behavior, work styles may differ depending on the diagnoses, age and motives of suicidal behavior.
