The article presents the results of the study of some
individual psychological characteristics of the drivers
of rail transport in the age groups 25–34 and 35–45 years. We have identified a number of differences
between the two age groups associated with both
features individually-psychological sphere, and in the
psycho-physiological features. Features of age-related
psychological differences can be explained by the age
characteristics of the representatives of each group;
psycho-physiological features of age differences may
reflect developed in the course of a long professional
activity features. We have also developed adaptive
strategies, consciously or unconsciously selected
during the long-running monotonous activities and in
small social groups (teams of drivers) allow, on the
one hand, higher quality performance of their
professional duties, on the other — to avoid the
harmful effects of stressful situations at work. It can be
assumed that the composition of drivers age group 35–
45 years is the result of natural selection, when those
who did not cope with this type of activity is simply dismissed or transferred to other kinds of professions

certain coping strategies and leading defense

of themselves as the mother in a situation
of emotional stability and their response characteristics
in stressful situations. The author analyzes the major
psychological defense mechanisms of adoptive

upbringing adopted children. A typology of behavioral
reactions of mothers caused by their existing
psychological characteristics is proposed

predict the level of stress resistance in medical
professionals via the dynamics of the regulatoryadaptive
status
By results of the estimation of stress resistance on
dynamics of the regulation-adaptive status we can observe,
that the autogenic training at the end of one academic year
did not cause authentic changes in stress resistance in
students with high and low levels of stress resistance. At
the same time, it raised stress resistance for persons with a
moderate level of stress resistance

Modern psychological science of the individual does not have deep enough meaningful data about the processes associated with the virtualization of being a personality. The need for scientific understanding of the phenomenology of the growing impact of virtualization on the personality of the society, its existence and co-existence, as well as identifying patterns of its focus on the reinforcement of its subjectivity in the virtual co-existence makes the relevance of research. The article presents the results of empirical studies on the relationship of personality characteristics by the nature of its activity in the social network of the Internet. The criteria of activity of the personality, as well as indicators of subjectivity in activity of the personality in the social network are determined. It is established that users with different levels of activity and the level of subjectivity, have different personality characteristics. Manifestations of "the deficit of character" as a prerequisite, depending on the individual social networks, anxiety and passivity, lowering of self-actualization, etc. are formulated and described, as well as "the benefits of character" that determine the activity of the individual network (direction of self-actualization, the search for additional spaces being that person converts in accordance with its internal sense). The results expand existing psychological representations about the quality of activity of the personality in the social network. They contribute to the practice of theoretical constructs of subject-existential approach to the study of personality as being the subject of virtual space and co-existence with the Others
The ongoing reformation of the Russian Federation Military Forces is aimed at creating an army and a fleet appropriate for XXI century and able to protect the country from threats. As well as resupplying military bases with modern weapons and vehicles, an important component is to change parameters of professional military training and competence of military specialists. Specialized requirements are applied to the supplying of military bases, ships and squads with contract military personnel. Modern military forces need highly qualified professionals possessing developed skills in organization, command, psychology, pedagogics. Leadership is a socio-psychological ability inherent to humans. In Russian science the term “leader” is defined as a gifted, charismatic personality who is able to unify people to reach some common goal. Any group needs guidance to reach its goal that is why groups choose the leader from among themselves. No group, especially military, can exist without leadership. At the same time leadership is always a question of influence which the leaders exert on their subordinates, and it depends on correlation of leader’s personal qualities with qualities of those under his command and on the situation in which the group finds itself. Not every contract soldier possesses developed leader skills, which necessitates the organization of psychological and pedagogical preparation in conditions of military service. In this article the program of formation of contract military personnel‘s readiness for taking leadership in military actions is analyzed
