CORRELATION OF INDICATORS OF SOCIAL-PSYCHOLOGICAL ADAPTATION PROCESS AND STRUCTURAL ELEMENTS OF EGO-IDENTTY OF STUDENTS WITH INCLINATION FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF ALCOHOLIC ADDICTION
The problem of adaptation to studies in a higher educational institution acquires a special significance in the youth, because it is this age that concerns the initial stage of professionalization, whereas it reveals the most active normative crisis of «Ego-identity formation or the confusion of roles», the central new part of it being formation of Ego-identity. This personality feature being unformed leads to formation of crisis identity that prompts the person to look for pseudo-adaptation forms of behavior, one of which is often the use of alcohol as the means of escaping from problems into «illusionary compensatory reality». There was carriedout a theoretical analysis of approaches to social-psychological adaptation and personality identity, there were considered the peculiarities of alcoholic addiction. Through the use of test methods and methods of statistical processing of data, the results were obtained on the following method approaches: test of Ego-identity by E. L. Soldatova, test of M. Kun – T. Markpartland K. Rodgers – R. Daiomod «Diagnosing social-psychological adaptation», test of L. V. Yankovsky «Personality adaptation to social-cultural environment», which allowed to determine the correlation between indicators of social-psychological adaptation and structural elements of Ego-identity of students in two groups: without signs of addictive behavior (the first group); with revealed inclination to addiction (the second group). The total number of people taking part in the research was 156. The obtained results can be used by specialists in the sphere of education and by psychologists for making programs of social-psychological adaptation of students, prevention of addictive behavior and formation of Ego-identity.
