The study provides insights into the aspects of creativity, the structure of psychometric intelligence, and personal adaptation resources of senior preschool children. Creativity and intelligence are presented as general adaptation resources. Existing studies of creative ability and creativity as integral individual characteristics in the context of adaptation are analyzed. The aim is to identify varied sets of creativity and personal adaptation resource markers that differentiate groups of children in order to determine possible strategies for adaptation, preservation, and development of their creative abilities at the beginning of lyceum schooling. It embraces the use of the E. Torrance Test of Creative Thinking (TTCT) (figural version), the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC), and the G. Rorschach Test. A sample of the study consisted of 122 children, aged 6–7 and enrolled in a school. The average IQ score among the children was above 115 (M = 133.7, σ = 9.9). The entire sample was divided into four groups by the originality-elaboration ratio according to the TTCT. The correctness of the children’s division into the groups according to the markers of creativity and personal adaptation resources is confirmed by the discriminant analysis. We have identified the factor structure of creativity, intelligence, and personal adaptation resources in the entire sample of children and in each of the groups. In the group of preschoolers with high originality and elaboration, the resulting structure integrated the components of creativity with personal adaptation resources and intelligence scores. In the group of children with a low level of originality and elaboration, the markers of creativity, intelligence, and personal adaptation resources are not interlinked.

Introduction. Present work is dedicated to an urgent problem that has emerged as a result of a global trend – an increase in the number of young people moving to other countries in search for a higher education, which often leads to stress during the process of cultural adaptation.In the current research, the authors conducted a comparative analysis of the normative and individual values of students from China and Russia, studying at the Russian university. The relevance of the research is based on the existing need for distinguishing psychological resources that could be helpful in the process of cultural adaptation and experiencing stress during the contact with the new cultural environment. Value foundations are considered as one of such potential resources, capable of affecting process of experiencing stress and adaptation.Theaimof the present article was to conduct a cross-cultural analysis of the normative and individual values of students from China, who experience stress and adapt to stressful situations in a new culture, and students from Russia studying with them.Methodology and research methods.The research uses a comparative analysis of values of different cultures and a complex analysis of value foundations in the context of experiencing stress and adaptation to stressful situations among migrant students.Resultsandscientifinovelty.In the course of the research, it was found out that values corresponding to the cultural specifi of the native countries of the students (China and Russia) are statistically more pronounced among students with a low level of stress. Among students with a high level of stress, values, which are not that part of the normative of their native culture, are more pronounced. Hedonistic values hamper the process of cultural adaptation both for Russian and Chinese students. A comprehensive study of the relationship between adaptation to stressful situations and stress experience revealed the groups of students with a cross-cultural specifiof the value foundations for experiencing stress. The data obtained both correlate with the existing studies of changes in values of students from China and Russia, and provide a basis for further research in the direction of studying stress and adaptation among students from both countries.Practical significance.The research results can be used in the analysis of stress exposure among students from Russia and China and the subsequent development of adaptational strategies. The discovered specificities of cultural value foundations could be employed to form potential resources of preadaptation to stressful situations among student youth.

Objective. To differentiate subjects into types according to differences in the creative thinking factor structure and to identify typological variants of integration of creative thinking properties and various components of sociocultural identity. Background. Based on the identified tendencies of integrative creativity researches the direction of its study is outlined: from the definition of generalized factors of creative thinking and creative personality to the identification of different creator types, with different ratio of general cognitive and personal components determining their specific resources, achievement opportunities in various socio-cultural contexts.Participants. 162 students of different specialties, ages from 18 to 22 (M = 19,5; 97 females, 65 males).Measurements. Figural Test for Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking, psychodiagnostic technology “Role Relations between Social Subjects and Creative Personalities” by V.G. Gryazeva-Dobshinskaya et al., based on repertory grids method by J. Kelly. Results. A two-factor creative thinking structure was confirmed, including innovational (fluency, flexibility, originality) and adaptational (elaboration, abstractness of titles) factors. Based on the ratio differences between innovational and adaptational factors, subjects were differentiated into four types: innovational, adaptational, high-creative, low-creative. The ratio peculiarities between the factors of creative thinking and sociocultural identity, including social role and value components, in subjects of different types was revealed.Conclusions. Creative subject types, differentiated by ratio of innovational and adaptational factors of creative thinking, have been revealed. The specific peculiarities in creativity integrative structures of the revealed types of subjects are identified. The typological variants of integration of creative thinking properties and various components of sociocultural identity have been revealed.

Рассматриваются особенности психосемантики притягательности персонажей культового фильма о Гарри Поттере у респондентов, идентифицирующих либо не идентифицирующих себя с ними. На материалах исследования 70 студентов в возрасте от 18 до 23 лет, разделенных на подгруппы по критерию идентификации с положительными персонажами (Гарри Поттер, Гермиона, профессор МакГонагалл и профессор Дамблдор) и отрицательными персонажами (маг Волан-де-Морт и профессор Амбридж). Выявлены особенности психосемантической структуры притягательности положительных и отрицательных персонажей фильма о Гарри Поттере в подгруппах, дифференцированных по особенностям идентификации с этими персонажами. Выявление психосемантической структуры персонажей и ее особенностей в случае идентификации респондентами себя с ними позволяет определить личностные психосемантические характеристики, наиболее важные для процессов психологической идентификации личности.

Цель. Высокий темп инновационного развития организаций требует эффективное обучение лидеров инноваций. Оптимизировать организационное обучение возможно через дифференциацию групп, основанную на выявлении личностных барьеров развития лидеров. Выявленные в исследованиях ресурсов инновационного лидерства некоторые личностные барьеры его развития (мотивационные, стилевые, ролевые) привели к их специальному изучению, результаты которого представлены в данной статье. В исследовании приняли участие 165 руководителей предприятий (120 мужчин и 45 женщин). Метод. Для сбора эмпирических данных были использованы следующие методики: 1) «Многофакторный опросник лидерства» Б. Басса и Б. Аволио для диагностики стилей лидерства; 2) «Тематический апперцептивный тест (ТАТ)» Х. Хекхаузена для выявления мотивации достижения; 3) «Ролевые отношения социальных субъектов с творческими личностями» В. Г. Грязевой-Добшинской с соавторами для диагностики социальной идентичности. Выборка была дифференцирована на четыре группы по уровням трансформационного лидерства и мотивационного показателя «чистая надежда». Дифференциация выборки направлена на различение групп руководителей с высокими и невысокими показателями лидерства, а в пределах них, — групп руководителей с высокими и невысокими показателями чистой надежды. Правильность отнесения субъектов в соответствующие группы составила 93,9%. Результаты. По данным диагностики стилей лидерства, мотивации достижения, социальной идентичности в каждой группе проводился дискриминантный анализ и затем факторный анализ. Дифференциация руководителей по уровням трансформационного лидерства и чистой надежды даёт эффект дифференциации по показателям ролевой идентичности (с ролями спасателя в кризисе и заместителя-женщины), а также по ценностям жизни, игры, труда. Различение групп по показателю лидерства («лидеров» и «руководителей»), а в пределах них, — групп по уровню показателя чистой надежды («оптимистов» и «пессимистов») — выявило специфические барьеры инновационного лидерства (мотивационные, лидерские, ценностные). Ценность результатов. Выявленные в исследовании барьеры инновационного лидерства подтверждают необходимость оптимизировать организационное обучение через его дифференциацию и направленности его на личностное развитие, повышение личностной компетенции лидеров.
