The aim of the study is to determine the composition and functional significance of anticipatory resources in the process of temporal regulation of sensorimotor action. Materials and methods. The subjects were male (35 people) and female (31 people) students. The tasks of a simple sensory response, a choice reaction (three alternatives), and a “double choice” were implemented in a computer version of the experiment. In the “double choice” task, the stimulation variation was first provided (possible stimuli: one or three), and then a stimulus for a fast motor response was presented after some time, the orientation time (independent variable). Results. The participants’ initial reaction to the option with three alternative stimuli in the “double choice” task was negative. The time of the motor response falls linearly as the orientation time increases in both the male and female groups for the variant with one possible stimulus and the frequency of anticipatory effects and premature actions increases in a quadratic pattern. It must be noted that with enough orientation time, determining the expected duration of the sensorimotor action is quite straightforward. It was demonstrated that, in the presence of a margin of orientation time, operational estimates and revisions of the time required to accomplish an action dramatically improve the likelihood of anticipatory effects. Conclusions. Actualization of the anticipatory resource (which includes temporary memory standards, the ability to accurately determine and correlate the durations of processes and time intervals, time estimation skills, and individual characteristics that influence decision making) ensures the determination of the total duration of a sensorimotor action, prompt correction of its implementation, and a significant reduction in the time it takes to respond to a motor stimulus.

Abstract. The paper is aimed at identifying the influence of socio-psychological factors on the formation of subjective wellbeing of a married person. The following methods were used: questionnaire, psycho diagnostic techniques for investigating satisfaction with marriage, personal self-fulfillment in the family (on the operational level and the level of values and role sets), sociopsychological adaptation, conformity of family values and role expectations in marriage. The data about the content, structural components (cognitive and evaluation, value and motivational, emotional and behavioral) and functions (regulatory, prognostic, developmental) of subjective well-being of a married person have been presented. Socio-psychological factors of subjective wellbeing of a married person have been specified.

Abstract.The article provides an analysis of the impact on gender identity formation of student life scenarios. It is shown that socio-economic and political changes are factors which change perceptions of themselves and the general picture of the world youth, and is a catalyst for the process of finding one's own life script or harmonious way of life. The authors established that the individual life path or script must meet the abilities and capabilities of the young man and also be a means of self-realization in life. The paper stated that under current conditions the process of personal and professional self-education related to a number of difficulties, that is why the problem of forming life script personality in adolescence is becoming increasingly important. Based on the scientific approaches the problem of forming life scenarios identity and gender identity problem. We characterize the sample studied, which was caused by the objectives and purpose of the study. The article provided a description of methods by which we conducted the diagnosis of gender identity influence on the formation of individual life scenarios in adolescence. We used the results of correlation analysis.Keywords: life plan living scenario of personality, way of life of the individual, gender characteristics, students.

The article identifies diagnostic markers and performance-specific features of young people’s anticipation depending on their age and gender. The social and psychological analysis of their life strategies and anticipation orientations in the conditions of changes was carried out. The sample was differentiated according to the indicators of the leading anticipation constructs and predictors under life changes. The sociopsychological nature of young people’s social well-being was substantiated: the phenomenon of social well-being, its components, indicators, factors of formation were described; the empirical research project on young people’s social well-being was developed and the research was implemented; and correlations between social well-being and anticipation were determined; the referents determining young people’s social well-being were revealed. Mutual relations between an individual’s social well-being and anticipation are supported by patterns that depend on his/her age, gender, general anticipation capacity and individual characteristics (spatial, temporal, personal-situational). In addition, anticipation is developed actively stepby-step. In particular, in adolescence, the ability to anticipate is improved due to qualitative improvement of thinking, as an indirect and generalized reflection of reality; intensive development of those mental qualities that are specific to anticipation, such as: seeing of prospects, taking into account the probabilistic future, proving of made forecast. At the early adulthood, there is the mutual influence of the general anticipation ability and health, reflection during anticipation improves considerable. Anticipation at the middle adulthood is often associated with well-being, which is a sign of psychological health (emotional stability, low anxiety and impulsivity, etc.). In addition, there is a strong link between anticipation and positive well-being at the middle adulthood. Gender differences were revealed for correlations determined between well-being and different anticipatory abilities. Significant correlations between well-being and different anticipatory abilities revealed for women were more numerous and stronger than that of men. The mutual relations among young people’s anticipatory abilities at different levels (personalsituational, spatial and chrono-rhythmic) and the the components of their well-being were determined.
