Abstract

The purpose of our article is to analyze resourcefulness of a personality as a psychological phenomenon; to show the characteristics of personal resourceful¬ness of the individual as a special mental state; to propose the classification of the structural components of the psychological resourcefulness of a personality.
Methods of the research. The following theoretical methods of the research were used to solve the tasks formulated in the article: a categorical method, structural and functional methods, the methods of the analysis, systematization, modeling, and generalization.
The results of the research. Considering the functional state of the psycho¬logical resourcefulness of a personality, it is necessary to distinguish two qualita¬tively different sides in its structure: subjective and objective ones. Such a division is due to the presence of the following two functions of this dynamic structure, which is the psychological resourcefulness of the individual: ensuring motiva¬tional (or goal-directed) behavior and restoring the disturbed homeostasis of the psychological resourcefulness of a personality. Moreover, the subjective side of the psychological resourcefulness of a personality is reflected primarily in the experiences of the subject and determines the features of the formation of highly motivated behavior of a personality. In turn, the objective side of the psychologi¬cal resourcefulness of a personality is associated with physiological processes and determines the features of the regulation of homeostasis.
Conclusions. We proved, that for any person the subjective side of the func¬tional state of the psychological resourcefulness of a personality was leading, since during adaptive restructuring, subjective shifts, as a rule, precede all ob¬jective components of the psychological resourcefulness of a personality. This position reflects a general physiological regularity of the psychological resource¬fulness of a personality, which consists in the fact that the mechanisms of regula¬tion of the components of psychological resourcefulness of a personality begin active work much earlier than the systems controlled by them, which are a part of the structure of the psychological resourcefulness of a personality.
