ABOUT MECHANISMS OF THE SUICIDAL BEHAVIOR FORMATION AND THE POSSIBILITIES OF ITS PREDICTION TAKING INTO ACCOUNT SOME PERSONAL DOMINANTS

Abstract

Due to the situation of a full-scale invasion of the aggressor country on the territory of our state, Ukrainian society has been living in extreme conditions for more than a year, experiencing the terrible consequences of the war – a situation of loss, occupation of territories, destruction of entire cities and towns, forced resettlement; in turn, constant shelling, bombings, explosions, siren sounds, long blackouts and many other things have become the realities of today. Anxiety, chronic stress, manifestations of depressive states, fear for loved ones and relatives and for the future in general are characteristics of psychological state for all Ukrainian population of various age categories, among which teenagers has a special place. Since adolescence is the most complex and controversial period of the ontogenetic development, knowledge about the mechanisms of formation of suicidal behavior among adolescents and the possibility of its prediction, taking into account personal dominants, are not only extremely important, but necessary for preserving the mental and physical health of the growing generation of Ukraine. With the help of using such psychodiagnostic methods as "Test for detection of suicidal risk SR-45" (P. I. Yunatskevich); "Self-esteem of mental states" (H. Eysenck); "Five-Factor Personality Questionnaire" (R. McCrae – P. Costa); "Beck Depression Inventory"; "Method of diagnostics of social and psychological adaptation" (C. Rogers, R. Diamond) in the frame of the empirical research, the following results have been found: a statistically significant positive correlation between indicators of anxiety; frustration and the level of suicidal risk of teenagers; statistically significant negative correlation between indicators of extraversion; emotional stability and the level of suicidal risk in adolescents. It is important to note that there is a statistically significant negative correlation between measures of adaptation, selfacceptance, emotional comfort and the level of suicidal risk in adolescence and, accordingly, a statistically significant positive correlation between the level of suicidal risk and such scales as self – rejection and emotional discomfort of teenagers. It was found that such personal indicator as self-control, together with the presence of the so-called emotional comfort, has a certain influence on the level of formation of suicidal behavior in adolescence.
