PSYCHOPHYSIOLOGICAL FACTORS OF PROFESSIONAL VIABILITY IN EXTREME SPECIALISTS FROM EMERGENT-SYNERGETIC PERSPECTIVE

Keywords: emergence, synergetic, professional resilience, extreme professions, psychophysiological factors

Abstract

Aim. The article aims to study the psychophysiological status of a specialist from emergentsynergetic perspective, which is a relevant research direction in domestic and foreign psychology, especially when it comes to extreme activity that implies a possible risk to life. The purpose of the study is to establish emergent-synergetic factors that determine the high and low levels of professional viability. Materials and methods. 764 males of various professional groups were examined, whose daily activities included an extreme component at the substantive level. To determine the psychophysiological status, the following methods were used: the Luscher color test in the interpretation of I. Tsyganok, simple and complex visual-motor reaction. To determine the level of professional viability, the S-test, the emotional burnout method and a scale for subjective assessment of professional load through the socio-psychological questionnaire were used. The data obtained were processed using Varimax rotation factor analysis with Kaiser’s normalization. Results. According to an empirical study, it was found that the  evelopment of professional viability can be explained through an emergent-synergetic approach. Low energy potential, stress and personal imbalance are emergent psychophysiological components of low viability. Personal balance, performance, activity and optimal energy expenditure are emergent psychophysiological components of high viability.
