I show that without the serial position curve, free recall can appear just as simple as integer recognition. The total search in word free recall, averaged over item position, increases linearly with the number of items recalled. Thus the word free recall search algorithm scales the same as the low-error recognition of integers [13]. The linear scaling of the search algorithm is different from what is commonly assumed to be the word free recall search algorithm, search by random sampling. The proportionality constant of 2-4 seconds per item (a hundred times larger than for integer recognition) is a power function of the average proportion not remembered and seems to be explicitly independent of subject age, presentation rate and whether there is a delay after the list presentation or not. The linearity of the word free recall extends down to 3 items which presents a challenge to the prevalent working memory theory in which 3-5 items are proposed to be stored in a separate high-availability store

The article highlights the problem of the role of professional identity in self-realization of psychologists- teachers. Within the frame of a system-defined approach the research identifies and describes the individual- typological features of the phenomena interesting to us. The works that focus on the study of self-realization are subjected to the analysis, as the result it is noted that in this field there are still gaps in the understanding of this issue. Thus, the study from the perspective of the influence of professional identity on the successful self-realization of the personality is recognized as relevant. In the framework of this study the following assumptions are put forward: there is a relationship between the professional identity and successful self- realization of the personality; the level of formation of professional identity has an impact on the success of personality self-realization; the professional identity not fully formed acts as a barrier for creativity, activity, internality and constructive self- realization; fully formed professional identity provides a high success rate of self-realization. The purpose of this study was to investigate the features of self- realization and professional identity of psychologists-teachers. For the study, we used “Multidimensional questionnaire of personality self-realization” (MQPS) by S.I. Kudinov, for the study of professional identity the following methods were used: “Professional identity-marginalism” questionnaire by E.P. Ermolaeva and Methods of measuring professional identity (MMPI) by L.B. Schneider. The results obtained were subjected to quantitative analysis. In the article the author relies on the data gathered as a result of a study conducted at the Institute of Education Development of the Republic of Bashkortostan (GAOU DPO IRO RB), city of Ufa. The sample consisted of 142 educational psychologists. As a result of the conducted research, the specific relationship between the professional identity and self-actualization of the educational psychologists was established

In modern society, patriotism is manifested in all spheres of human life and it is understood as a love for the motherland and its people, as a sense of duty and pride for the country, a sense of honor and personal dignity, personal responsibility for occurring events, devotion to the country and its people. Patriotism is a complex concept including patriotic feelings of an individual. In the article, the peculiarities of the manifestation of patriotic feelings in high school students are analyzed on the basis of the system-functional approach. The study involved a group of senior students of secondary comprehensive school, a group of the representatives of the Ministry of Emergency Situations and cadets of a Cadet Corps. Statistically significant differences in sixteen variables characterizing manifestation of patriotic feelings were obtained in the group of cadets, the differences were observed in degrees of manifestation of both harmonic and inharmonic variables. High values were obtained for the variables of the reflective-evaluative component. The personal difficulties have got higher values which indicates a serious and responsible approach of cadets to the manifestation of patriotic feelings. These results were used to formulate correction programs aimed at the harmonization and development of patriotism among representatives of different age groups

Modern political and cultural situation in Russia calls for a new generation of young people. In this regard we need to develop in them the personal qualities and characteristics which will enable them to achieve their personal and professional success in various spheres of life. The article is devoted to the study of inter-cultural communication features in Russian, Kazakh and Armenian students. The differences in the motives of the self-expression in students depending on the situation and communication partners, their cultural-value orientations, communicative tolerance and the manifestations of sociability, aggressiveness, proneness to conflict are revealed. The obtained results of the study gave us the opportunity to develop the practical recommendations that can significantly optimize the psychological support of students, designed to maintain and strengthen their physical and mental well-being, helping to solve problems in personal sphere and interpersonal interaction

Hypothesis of the research: “There are interrelations of level of migratory attitudes and the level of subjective control in the inhabitants of Magadan as a migration-mobile region, which can be specific in different spheres” is verified on the sample consisting of 62 Magadan inhabitants. Research methods: the proprietary “Scale of migratory attitudes” and a technique “Level of subjective control” by E.F. Bazhin,Golynkina, A.M. Etkind. The obtained results confirmed the hypothesis on scales of general internality, internality in interpersonal relations and internality of health and illness. It was revealed that migratory attitudes in Magadan inhabitants from contrast groups (in externals and internals) are more fully formed. The inhabitants of Magadan considering themselves capable to control their interpersonal relations, and in their migratory attitudes reckon with the attitudes of the relatives and their expectations, though not always share them fully. The inhabitants of Magadan considering themselves responsible for the condition of their health express more fully formed migratory attitudes (including the attitudes of relatives and their expectation) in comparison with the “fatalists” in this sphere

Nowadays different conditions of the functioning of higher school have influence on the quality of higher education (the content of the courses, the technology of the education, the organization of educational process have changed). One of the main criteria of the activity of the modern university is the level of satisfaction of the requirements that the employers set for the graduates. Institutions of higher education rely on state educational standards, which, according to the assessment of the employers, do not match the requirements of modern manufacture. This refers primarily to the practical skills of the graduates starting to work in the real economy. To meet the requirements of the employers and to guarantee the employment for the graduates, it is necessary to generalize these requirements and introduce them into the educational process taking into account the capacity of the university.For the quality of the working force training at different levels of the vocational education system, not only the knowledge about the competencies required from the workers, but also the ideas of the students both about the requirements of the employers and the possibility of their implementation within the existing system of vocational education are important. It is advisable, in our opinion, to involve employers in participating in the development of the system of continuous professional education.Also it is necessary to have a universal algorithm of actions to define the requirements of the employer and a system of analysis, to determine on what points the requirements of the employer do not comply with Federal State Educational Standards and how to implement them in the learning process without coming into conflict with the existing FSES. The author suggests one of the possible variants of the system of work, tried and tested in working conditions and proved its effectiveness at Bunin Yelets State University
