Dynamics of Mental Regulation of Psychological States of Students with Different Levels of Reflexivity
The work is aimed at studying, the role of reflection in the concept of mental regulation of psychological states that we are developing. The purpose of the study is to identify the dynamics of mental regulation of psychological states of students with different levels of reflection in the process of their educational activity. The study was carried out in three different educational situations: a lecture, a seminar and an exam. The study involved 108 second-year students. The study used methods for diagnosing: psychological states; mental structures (reflection, life-meaning orientations, self-perception); regulatory properties; and methods of self-regulation of personality. The study showed that, as the intensity of learning situations increases, highly reflective student revealed interaction of mental structures, regulatory properties and psychological states, and these increased significantly. We found that in this group the mental structures were more involved in regulation, and the role of their reflection increased. The lecture showed the relationship between mental structures and regulatory properties in self-regulation of psychological states was mediated by the level of reflection. It was established that during the seminar, students with high level of reflection demonstrate a higher involvement of regulatory properties in managing their states. It was shown that at different stages of the exam, the structure of mental regulation in highly reflective students, in contrast to low-reflective ones, were represented by indicators of psychological states, self-perception and life-meaning orientations, as well as components of reflection, regulatory properties and methods of self-regulation.
