STRUCTURAL FEATURES IN THE CONATIVE AND RATIONAL SPHERE OF COMBATANTS WITH POST-STRESS PSYCHOLOGICAL DISADAPTATION

The validity of research. Events in the Eastern Ukraine lead to the actualization and increase of the number of mental processes among demobilized combatants whose phenomenology was not the subject of research in psychology during decades. One of them is the emergence of post-stress psychological disadaptation (PSPD) among demobilized. There is limited knowledge about the structure of emotional traumatic experience with PSPD among combatants, which is complicated by the lack of information regarding the features of the conative and rational sphere. The aim of the study is to determine the peculiarities of the structure in the conative and rational sphere among the Ukrainian demobilized with post-stress psychological disadaptation. Research methods - Mississippi Scale for Combat-Related PTSD, The Life-Sense Orientation Test (LSO) according to D.A.Leontiev), Individual motivation test (IMT). For mathematical and statistical processing: φ - Fisher's angular transformation, Mann–Whitney U test, Kendall rank correlation coefficient (τ-Kendal). The results were processed using the SPSS 16 software. Results of research: In the rational area of the demobilized combatants, there are phenomena of the "groundhog day" (fixation on past events) and "level of decline" (all senses of life orientation are below the norm). Life purpose domain of demobilized combatants with PSPD reflects the received symptom complex "disorientated disappointment". For the motivational sphere of demobilized combatants with PSPD, there is a low level of the following motives: appeal for preservation / achievement (i.e. high level of motivation for preservation - by the key method), knowledge and interest, creativity and independence, relationships, overcoming and growth, prestige. In the motivational sphere of both groups there is a "gluing" of most motives with each other. Immaturity, disadaptation and lack of resourcefulness of the motivational sphere are observed among the Ukrainian demobilized combatants with PSPD. The phenomena of "gluing" and "contaminating" are the general mechanism for the conative and rational sphere of the demobilized combatants with the PSPD
