Abstract

The aim of the article is to characterize empirically the personal expediency of a person’s actualization of his own psychological resources.

In the empirical study, the methods of the psychological questionnaire were used, as well as such methods of mathematical and statistical analysis of data as the cluster, regression, correlation, classification, discriminant analysis. The empirical study was carried out according to Nelson’s model, which assumed the discrimination of indicators of personal expediency of actualizing a person’s own psychological resources by coherence and systemic reflection.

The results of the research. The personal content of the feeling of coherence, which generalizes the expediency of actualizing psychological resources, are experiences and values subject to systemic reflection, namely: aspects of  experience – efforts and satisfaction, motivational values – independence and universalism. The indicators of the actualization of the feeling of coherence are personal resourcefulness and the ability of a person to operate with his own resources, that is able to invest and update. Reflected resource content of the feeling of coherence is made up of such resources: positive relationships with others, goals in life, faith, mercy, creative activity, reflections, physical activity, self-confidence, love, creativity, faith in goodness, work on oneself, responsibility.

Conclusions. The personal content of coherence can be interpreted as a per­son’s achievement of a successful author’s way of being through the application of his own efforts. The ability to invest their own resources is the main indicator of the actualization of resources in a sense of coherence, which characterizes the desire for positive relationships with others, creative activity, and physical activity. The personal expediency of actualizing psychological resources is revealed in a person’s satisfaction with the application of his own efforts regarding an independent understanding of a merciful attitude towards others as the deter­mining goal of his life.
