Variants of inward disorder pattern and self-awareness features among elementary school children with different dysontogenesis forms

Abstract

<p>This study explored variants of inward disorder pattern (IDP) among elementary school children with different dysontogenesis forms. IDP is considered a complex integrative construct that affects I-concept development and is significant for an individual’s successful social adaptation. The sample consisted of 84 participants – elementary school children with visual, hearing, speech impairments, and mental development disorder. Their average age is 9. The interview was conducted individually.</p><p>We identified a number of specificities in IDP components content depending on a dysontogenesis form. These features are determined by both an impairment itself and component ratios where those between the physical-sensitive, cognitive, and motivational ones are of the greatest significance. Other IDP determinants are such complex self-awareness indices as a level of one’s traits awareness and self-perception in a context of social relationships. The study results suggest three variants of IDP for the moment.</p>

Main Adaptation Objectives among Adolescents in Different Internal Disorder Pattern Variants

“…Self-esteem level, adequate assessment of oneself, and an individual's ambitions appear to play an important role in disabled adolescents' adaptation. Self-esteem and I-concept specificities affect their social contacts development and communication patterns (Dunayevskaya, 2016;Hyeran & Sunhee 2019;Adeeva, Tikhonova & Khazova, 2019). Self-acceptance and self-confidence are of considerable relevance for adolescents with hearing and locomotor disabilities.…”

“…However, an individual's physical discomfort and a level of their physical sensation are key aspects to affect an inward disorder pattern. One's vivid physical sensations (the physical-sensitive component) and motive specificities caused by a disorder may also be critical for their choice of adaptation strategies (Adeeva, Tikhonova & Khazova, 2019). It is important to say that our respondents were adolescents.…”

Variants of inward disorder pattern among adolescents with different dysontogenesis

“…Mokslininkės išskiria keletą jaunesnių paauglių, kurių protinė raida yra uždelsta, VSV variantų pagal fizinio-jutiminio ir kognityvinio parametrų santykį. Straipsnyje pateikiamos koreliacijos tarp kai kurių adaptacijos parametrų ir šių komponentų (Adeeva, Tikhonova, ir Khazova, 2019).…”

Adaptation and Internal Disorder Pattern of Adolescents With Disabilities

“…The researches on diverse adaptation variables and determinants. Adaptive risks and successes in terms of perception and worries over the disorders (Adeeva et al, 2019;Tikhonova et al, 2019), personal characteristics leading to adaptation, I-concept components, self-esteem, aspirational level, positive self-attitude (Akinina, 2015;Kacero, 2019), understanding of social roles, disharmony in the socializing process (Dirk-Wouter et al, 2019) are under study. Low self-esteem and mental disorders among children with chronic diseases (Shorey & Debby, 2020) are highlighted.…”
