Fantalova, Kuprina. [Specific features of the state of apathy in the conditions of experiencing internal vacuums by students]

Abstract:
Here were studied the specific features of "Apathy" state, of when students experience an internal vacuum, as well as an additional check of this indicator for the presence of construct validity according to the author`s methodology "Seven States". It allows you to assess the emotional, personal and mental status of a particular case within 3—5 minutes. It is shown that internal vacuums in students, objectively identified by this method and recognized as a significant excess of accessibility over value in a number of life areas, have a specific emotional and personal regulation at the subjective level of experience. The state of "Apathy" in the conditions of experiencing internal vacuums by students is associated with a tendency to actualize their problems, the desire to draw attention to them, on the one hand, and also with a decrease in the functioning of psychological defenses and locus of control, on the other. There is also an increase in internal mental tension, anxiety, blockade of the leading vital needs with a negative attitude towards others, in particular, to mother and family.
