Popis: | The aim of the article is empirical substantiation of the possibility of psychological diagnosis of self-reflection as an individual’s ability to self-actualize. Methods. The approbation of the self-reflection questionnaire was implemented by updating the reliability and validity data of the reflexivity technique, which we developed on the theoretical basis of the description of the components of reflexivity by L.I. Ponomarenko. Existential feasibility and personal self-realization questionnaires, self-reflection and insight scale, self-evaluation scale, and psychological resources questionnaires were used to describe the content validity of the self-reflection questionnaire. The following applied methods of mathematical and statistical analysis were used: correlational, comparative, multifactorial, classification, cluster analysis, and analysis of causes and effects. Research results. It was confirmed that the descriptors of self-reflection are: detachment, positive dissociation, gnostic competence, articulateness, lability, originality, criticality, and cognition. The internal consistency of the scales of the questionnaire is high (r=0.37-0.60; p < .01)). The structure of the eight descriptors of the technique is described by a one-factor empirical model that explains 57% of the variance in the group. Lability (rank 100), positive dissociation (rank 98), articulateness (rank 89), and cognition (rank 82) were found to be the most influential predictors of the general level of self-reflection. The three types of self-reflection are distinguished. The connections of descriptors of self-reflection and manifestations of self-awareness (self-esteem, self-concept), as well as with personal existential self-realization, psychological resources, and indicators of the value-meaning sphere of the individual, were determined. The results of content validity made it possible to highlight the described phenomenon of empirical reality, such as self-reflection. Conclusions. Self-reflection is characterized as the subject’s ability for personal self-fulfillment, in the way of self-recognition as a result of accepting the ratio of one’s own interpreted available opportunities and the goals of desired psychological well-being. This relationship is made possible by the realization of the person’s internal work on himself, which manifests in the reduction of both a biased self-limiting attitude towards the realization of one’s capabilities and an authoritarian-egoistic attitude towards others. The main manifestation of self-reflection is criticality, which determines the ratio of one’s own interpreted possibilities and the realities of the existing situation, in which the impartiality of the subject enables him to be ready to “read a personal message” in the existing life conditions. It is concluded that self-reflection enables an individual to determine a realistic “version of himself” as a result of a certain lived experience, therefore the function of self-reflection is monitoring to self. |
