The relationships between the achievement motivations and temperaments of psychology students with different lateral organization profiles

Abstract

The objective of this research was to assess the motivational potential of psychology students using an egoskopiya method. heart rate and EEG data were recorded while the participants performed the Mehrabian achievement motivation test. Thirty students of the Faculty of Psychology of Southern Federal University who were aged between 20 and 30 years participated. The psychodiagnostic study involved 136 students from the Faculty of Psychology of Southern Federal University who were aged between 18 and 49 years. To determine the lateral organization profiles of sensory and motor functions, a computer-based testing program termed "Profile" was used. The Compact Russian Structure of Temperament Questionnaire (STQ-77) was used to evaluate the features of temperament.The results revealed that people with a strong motivation to succeed exhibited a predominance of right features in their lateral organization profiles. Their cardiovascular systems were in more activated states than those of the people who were extremely motivated to avoid failure. The observed temperament features of psychology students with different levels of achievement motivation indicated that the level of achievement motivation is related to the properties of temperament such that students with lower levels of achievement motivation (i.e., motivation to avoid failure) exhibited the temperament traits of Neuroticism and Impulsivity in addition to low values on the scales for the Sensitivity to Sensations, Intellectual Ergonicity, and Sensitivity to Probabilities. high levels of achievement motivation (i.e., motivation to strive toward success) corresponded to the psychology students' propensities for Sensitivity to Sensations, high levels of Intellectual Ergonicity, high levels of Sensitivity to Probabilities and low values on the scales of Impulsivity and Neuroticism.

Transformation of the aggregate subject of activity in the context of digitalization of education

“…The criteria for academic success are academic (academic) performance, reflecting the level of educational achievement in the score, as well as interest, motivation, quality and methods of mental work (activity, tension, pace, duration, consistency, the ratio of rational and irrational methods of work, etc..). Academic achievement is closely related to the level of student motivation, primarily achievement motivation (Vartanova, 2000;Gordeeva, 2006;Bakshaeva & Verbickij, 2006;Vorobyeva et al, 2015). This work examines how the above factors affect the success of students' educational activities in different forms of education -distance and traditional (full-time).…”

The Dark Triad of personality in psychology students and eco-friendly behavior

“…Students often participate in psychological, psychophysiological, psychogenetic research. [6][7][8][9][10]. Empirical studies from different countries have studied the relationship between the indicators of the Dark Triad and different professions studied by students.…”

Individual Characteristics of Stress Responding During Psycho- Physiological Research Using a Polygraph

“…Интересные результаты были получены в результате ЭЭГ-исследований индивидуальных различий. Так, было показано, что как особенности темперамента, так и уровень мотивации испытуемых при выполнении заданий довольно отчетливо отражаются в динамике ЭЭГ, а последняя, в свою очередь, непосредственно коррелирует с динамикой ЧСС [25,26,27].…”
