В статье обсуждаются представления о многомерности конструкта алекситимии и проблемы ее изучения. Представлено исследование взаимосвязи алекситимических черт с когнитивной регуляцией эмоций (РЭ), эластичностью копинг-поведения (ЭКП) и психоэмоциональной симптоматикой. 109 молодых людей (82,6% женщин) в возрасте 19—34 лет заполняли следующие опросники: опросник алекситимии BVAQ, опросник когнитивной регуляции эмоций CERQ, опросник эластичного совладания со стрессом FCSQ-14 и Четырехмерный опросник для оценки дистресса, депрессии, тревоги и соматизации 4DSQ. Молодые люди с алекситимией III типа и лица с отсутствием алекситимии характеризуются благоприятной когнитивной РЭ и высокой ЭКП. Противоположная тенденция характерна для лиц с алекситимией I и II типа. Высокая эмоциональная реактивность и низкая способность к когнитивной переработке своих эмоций определяет низкую адаптивность личности и склонность к психоэмоциональным нарушениям. Слабое понимание эмоций способствует редкому использованию адаптивных когнитивных стратегий РЭ и снижению ЭКП. Низкая эмоциональная возбудимость способствует высокой ЭКП и наряду с конкретным мышлением — меньшему использованию неадаптивных стратегий РЭ.

The paper examines the most common types of self-destructive online behavior of adolescents and young people (self-harm, suicide, and eating disorders), which are reflected on the Internet in the form of self-destructive content. We present the results of the empirical study on the perception of and reactions to self-destructive content and content about psychological assistance by 15—17-year-old adolescents and 18—25-year-old youths. The yielded data confirms that adolescents and young people are active consumers of self-destructive online content. Based on the analysis of the role of gender, age differences, and differences in the use of the Internet in responding to the aforementioned types of self-destructive content, we marked out a risk group, represented by adolescents and young people who show increased attention to self-destructive online content, as well as those who use the Internet more intensively and are more often subjected to various types of violence in real life. We emphasize the importance of developing effective online prevention measures for self-destructive behavior in adolescents and young people, nurturing a digital culture of online behavior, and raising digital competence, allowing for the creation of a safe and comfortable online space.

The present paper introduces the readers to the Hoffman report — an independent attorney report on American Psychological Association (APA) officials’ participation in institutionalizing and developing torture techniques that were used to interrogate the prisoners of the secret Department of Defense prisons (Guantanamo, Abu Ghraib, etc.). People in charge of the APA were shown to have changed the ethical standards and APA regulations in such a way as to enable psychologists to participate in the so-called enhanced interrogations. We present the context of the report and the key findings and conclusions. We discuss the reaction of the psychological community and cite a number of papers that analyze the report from the theoretical and empirical standpoint, and reflect on the causes of the events. This situation can be viewed as a precaution for Russian psychologists likewise in making ethical decisions. Conclusion: Ethical codes do not constitute ethics per se nor do they protect from possible ethical violations, partly because abusers often are not just those who know the codes, but also those who write them.

The paper presents the development of the Self-Change Potential questionnaire. The validation of the questionnaire was conducted in three steps. Within the first series of studies (N=248) the structure of the questionnaire was defined, the consistency of the resulting scales was checked and certain items were corrected. The construct validity of the modified version of the questionnaire was tested within the second series of studies (N=569). At the final stage (N=36) test-retest reliability was checked. The obtained Cronbach’s α coefficients (0,64—0,8) for all scales of the questionnaire and the sum score demonstrated its satisfactory consistency. All items had significant correlations with the sum score (р<0,0001). To test the construct validity we used the Change Response Styles Questionnaire, the Portrait Value Questionnaire (revised version), the Style of Conscious Self-Regulation of the Behavior Questionnaire, and the Self-Efficacy Scale. Correlations with these measures confirmed the construct validity of the questionnaire. The Self-Change Potential Questionnaire can be used for assessing a person’s ability for self-changes on the various levels of mental organization, which could be consciously initiated and actualized.

We present the results of validating the Subjective Risk Intelligence Scale (Craparo et al., 2018) in the Russian sample. The study tested the hypotheses about the relationships between subjective risk intelligence, acceptance of uncertainty and risk, and emotional intelligence. The participants (N=588) included 473 women and 115 men (Mage=27.09, SD=10.35); 260 people were tested online, and the rest — face-to-face. We used the Subjective Risk Intelligence Scale (SRIS), New Questionnaire of Tolerance for Uncertainty, Personal Decision-Making Factors, and Emotional Intelligence Scale (EmIn). Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyzes established the four-factor structure of the questionnaire similar to the original. We found pairs of correlating scales that demonstrate emotional rejection of uncertainty and cognitive productive acceptance. Negative Attitude towards Uncertainty and Emotional Stress Vulnerability was higher in individuals with lower emotional intelligence, willingness to take risks, and tolerance for uncertainty. Problem Solving Self-Efficacy and Imaginative Capability correlated with emotional intelligence, willingness to take risks, and tolerance for uncertainty. The Russian version of SRIS has good psychometric characteristics, and we recommend it as a reliable tool to diagnose a person’s attitude towards uncertainty and risk; however, the understanding of subjective risk intelligence as a personal or cognitive characteristic is unclear.
我们提出了在俄罗斯样本中验证主观风险智力量表(Craparo et al., 2018)的结果。该研究测试了主观风险智力、对不确定性和风险的接受程度以及情商之间关系的假设。参与者(N=588)包括473名女性和115名男性(Mage=27.09, SD=10.35);260人在网上接受了测试,其余的人进行了面对面的测试。我们使用了主观风险智力量表(SRIS)、新不确定性容忍度问卷、个人决策因素问卷和情绪智力量表(EmIn)。探索性和验证性因素分析建立了与原问卷相似的四因素结构。我们发现了一对对相关的量表,显示了对不确定性的情感拒绝和认知上的生产性接受。低情商、低冒险意愿和低不确定性容忍度的个体对不确定性的消极态度和情绪压力脆弱性更高。解决问题的自我效能和想象能力与情商、冒险意愿和对不确定性的容忍度相关。俄文SRIS量表具有良好的心理测量特征,推荐作为一种可靠的工具来诊断一个人对不确定性和风险的态度;然而,对主观风险智力作为一种个人或认知特征的理解尚不清楚。

The paper reports the results of the phenomenological study of client experiences in the process of psychotherapy. It describes the stages of categorization, generalization, and interpretation of data. We raised the following questions: what changes happen to client experiences during the same treatment session and between sessions; and how these changes relate to the components of optimal experience. The sample consisted of 6 people aged 32—53, 5 women, and one man. One female client attended four meetings with a psychotherapist; the male and four female clients attended three meetings each. The transcripts were coded by two independent experts, followed by a joint discussion. First, unique semantic units were marked, then the statements were coded and categorized by experts. We give an account of the generalized dynamics of client experiences. The results of applying the categorical grid of the model of optimal experience to the dynamics of client experiences are presented separately. The yielded results can be interpreted as qualitative effectiveness markers of psychotherapeutic work.

The paper provides a narrative review of cognitive deficits in patients with gambling disorder. We discuss several types of these deficits, namely, cognitive impairments due to deficits in executive functioning, impulsive and risky decision-making, gambling-related cognitive distortions, and cognitive errors in cognitive-behavioral terms. These deficits are reviewed from the perspective of their relevance for psychotherapy and the development of differentiated psychotherapeutic interventions for gambling disorder treatment.

The paper presents the results of approbation of the Russian-language version of the Job Anxiety Scale (JAS) by B. Mushalla and M. Linden, based on a differentiated clinical approach to anxiety states during work. The 70-item scale was translated into Russian and tested in a sample of 410 subjects, who were professionals in various fields. The exploratory factor analysis procedure identified a five-factor structure that was different from the original one. The factors were named as follows: 1) Discomfort, tension, and anxiety at work with the conviction of its harmfulness; 2) Social anxiety and avoidant behavior in the workplace; 3) Experiencing injustice and exploitation in the workplace; 4) Anxiety for the preservation of the workplace and the future; 5) Cognitions about one’s inefficiency. High reliability of the Russian version of JAS has been established. The Cronbach’s α coefficient for the entire scale was 0.973; the Gutmann split-half coefficient was 0.945. There were multiple correlations between the JAS scores and the symptoms of mental disorders assessed by the SCL-90-R, which can be considered as evidence of the external validity of the scale.
