Abstract

The article highlights the results of a formative experiment on the development of personal resourcefulness as a factor in the psychologist's self-regulation. The program "Psychologist in a Resource: Personal Resourcefulness as the Basis of Self-Regulation" is presented. The methodological basis of the study, which is formed on the basis of dialectical, humanistic, systemic, eco-facilitative approaches and the theory of resource conservation, is analyzed. The structure, content and organizational aspects of the program, which includes cognitive-informational, facilitation and reflective blocks, are determined. The effectiveness of the program implementation is experimentally tested on a sample of 50 psychologists. To evaluate the results, a complex of psychodiagnostic methods aimed at diagnosing key components of personal resourcefulness (resilience, optimism, awareness, tolerance for uncertainty, meaning of life, sense of coherence, self-control) was used. Statistically significant results were obtained regarding the increase in the indicators of all studied components of personal resourcefulness in the experimental group compared to the control group. The focus is on changes in the general level of emotional self-regulation. Positive changes in self-regulation strategies have been identified, in particular the ability to act decisively in difficult situations, to turn to new sources to solve problems. It has been shown that important elements of the program's effectiveness are the eco-facilitative approach, the creation of safe reflective reflection and practical practice of mindfulness skills. The structure of the program ensured a combination of theoretical understanding with practical practice of skills. The results indicate the practical significance of such interventions for the mental health support system and the professional effectiveness of psychologists, especially in conditions of chronic stress and uncertainty.
