Introduction. The article covers the issue of professional selection and determination of the set of qualities that should be possessed by the specialists of “person – machines” field, in particular, workers of locomotive brigades. The issue of assessing the professional suitability of operators of locomotives in Russia was raised in the late XIX century by railway engineers-administrators. However, the study of professionally important qualities of the members of the locomotive crews proves to be relevant today. The practical importance of corresponding research is related to ensuring the safety of trains movement. Materials and Methods. The study incorporated a combination of methods: literature analysis, testing (methods for diagnostics of level of personal risk readiness “PSK” R. Schubert, test “A study of volitional self-regulation” A. V. Zverkova, E. V. Eydman, methodology for perceptual assessment of stress), the survey (questionnaire). Spearman rank correlation method was used for statistical analysis of empirical data. Results. The article describes the results of empirical research of peculiarities of professionally important qualities of locomotive brigade workers. In particular, the authors introduce the data of diagnostics of volitional self-regulation and stress resistance of locomotive drivers and assistant drivers, and also results of measuring their risk tolerance, considered as an anti-PVK. It was revealed that the majority of the tested workers of locomotive brigades demonstrate low and medium levels of personal readiness to take risks, they are not inclined to act rashly and randomly. The majority of drivers and their assistants have a high level of volitional self-regulation development, i.e., they are emotionally mature, active, independent and self-reliant. Three quarters of the surveyed workers from the locomotive crews demonstrated a high level of perseverance and an overwhelming majority showed highly developed self-control. More than a half of the sample turned out to be representatives of the B type stress, i. e., stress-resistant people. However, more than a third of the members of locomotive crews tend to exhibit A type stress. They showed manifestations of aggressiveness, impatience, and intolerance to stress. The article contains the analysis of the survey of the locomotive staff members concerning the qualities required for the representatives of their profession. Most frequent feedback among the responses was about volitional traits expressing attitude to work and to other people. The survey revealed the particular importance of fostering some psychological qualities of the locomotive drivers and their assistants: patience, attentiveness, responsibility, determination, self-confidence, vigilance, diligence. Correlation analysis of empirical data using Spearman’s rank correlation determined the presence of statistically significant connection of volitional self-regulation and self-control with the types of stress resistance. There is an average force feedback between the indicated qualities of workers of locomotive brigades. The data of correlation analysis and test logic, used to measure stress resistance, suggest that higher level of volitional self-regulation development and self-control as its component inevitably boost better stress resistance of locomotive crew members. Discussion and Conclusion. Efficiency of professional activities of locomotive brigade members of a depot can be bettered by means of training exercises, carried out by a specialist of psychological profile, involving locomotive drivers and their assistants. The exercises should be targeted at the development of volitional self-regulation, and its element self-control, thus contributing to stress resistance improvement.

Introduction. The integral concept of happiness relies on understanding the influence on its feeling specifics, the external conditions of life. Moreover, it depends on the individual psychological properties and states of the personality and its semantic and value orientations. Despite a great deal of works devoted to this phenomenon, there are practically no publications in the scientific literature on the relationship between the degree of happiness experienced by students and their meaning-of-life orientations, which determined the purpose of our study – to study the features of the relationship between meaning-of-life orientations and the level of happiness of students. Materials and Methods. The results of an empirical study among students of the Mordovia State University in various fields of training are presented. The sample size is 110 people. The study was conducted using several test methods: “Oxford Happiness Questionnaire” by M. Argyll, “Existence Scale” by A. Langle and K. Orgler (translated by S. V. Krivtsova), “Life-Sense Orientations (LSS)” by J. Crumbaugh and L. Makholik (adapted by D. A. Leontiev). Spearman’s rs rank correlation test, factor, cluster analysis and Mann-Whitney U test were used for mathematical processing. Results. In the course of the study, the features of life orientations, existential values of students and their level of happiness were studied. The results show that the level of happiness, meaningfulness and fulfillment of life among students does not depend on the profile of their education (natural science or humanities). Statistically significant correlations between the level of happiness and the degree of fulfillment of life, self-transcendence, freedom, personality, existentialism, self-distancing, as well as the meaningfulness of students' life, were revealed. As a result of factor analysis, three groups of factors were identified that link the indicators of meaningfulness, existentialism and fulfillment of life with the level of happiness of the subjects: “Meaningfulness of Life”, “Productivity of Life” and “Level of Happiness”. Discussion and Conclusion. The conclusions made by the authors contribute to the development of ideas about the dominant life orientations of students and their influence on the experience of happiness. The materials of the article can be used in teaching and psychological counseling of students to increase the degree of awareness of the meanings, goals and process of life, which can contribute to an increase in their level of happiness.
