Мультидисциплінарний підхід був розроблений та пройшов апробацією в рамках двох проектів реалізованих Міжнародною благодійною організацією «Ромський жіночий фонд «Чіріклі» у 2019 році, та ГО «Правозахисний ромський центр» у 2021 році, у партнерстві з Управлінням забезпечення прав людини Національної поліції України. Загальною метою реалізацій проектів було забезпечення безпеки, справедливості та уваги до потреб ромів, із застосуванням практичних заходів, що відповідають стандартам у сфері прав людини; налагодження діалогу та взаємної довіри між співробітниками поліції та ромами. Реалізація мультидисциплінарного підходу, базувалась на принципах освіти дорослих, які передбачають залучення учасників до інтерактивної взаємодії, активізацію їхнього критичного мислення шляхом звертання до власного професійного та особистісного досвіду, надання необхідної інформації стосовно механізмів формування етнічних та професійних стереотипів, з огляду на здобутки соціальної та кримінальної психології, дослідження у сфері вивчення «культури бідності», ромської ментальності, особливостей етногенезу, культурних традиції та укладу життя як способу збереження ідентичності ромів як представників традиційної культури. Також учасникам надавалась інформація стосовно актуальних проблем дотримання прав людини, ознайомленні із європейськими стандартами роботи поліцейських у сфері боротьби зі злочинами на ґрунті ненависті, та історичних причин міжнародної уваги до дотримання прав саме цієї групи населення як такої, що неодноразово страждала від дискримінації та геноциду. Розроблений підхід підтвердив свою ефективність в ході практичного апробування. Також було продемонстровано, що відсутність у співробітників поліції упередженого ставлення та стереотипного сприймання щодо ромів, та розуміння ними традицій, культурних особливостей та специфіки світосприйняття ромів є необхідною умовою для успішного налагодження співробітництва у межах існуючого правового поля з питань безпеки та профілактики правопорушень.","PeriodicalId":33814,"journal":{"name":"Naukovi studiyi iz sotsial''noyi ta politichnoyi psikhologiyi","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46896183","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The systemic vulnerability that teachers experience is influenced from pressures arising from ecological environments originally described by Bronfenbrenner (1979). The pressure on teachers has its peculiarities in countries with a totalitarian past and without it. Regardless of cultural context, pressure effects many teachers’ ability to be comfortable with the demands of their daily tasks, and their willingness to feel proud of their profession. Therefore, identifying factors of systemic vulnerability of teachers in different contexts and levels of social environment is relevant. The aim of the study is to evaluate publications that reveal systemic factors of schoolteachers’ vulnerability with the help of Scoping review. Methodology. Initially, 4,810 publications from four databases (Scopus, ERIC EBSCO, PsycINFO, and Web of Science) were involved. At the stage of full texts’ analysis 22 articles were considered. The research presents a wide range of geographical regions, which indicates the degree of generalization in conclusions about the sources of systemic pressure on teachers in different countries. Results. In this article, for the first time, the factors of systemic vulnerability of teachers at the micro-, meso- and macro-levels of social environment are highlighted. Societal and cultural expectations are the biggest sources of pressure on the macro-level. Pressures on the macro-level may affect the micro-level, that is, for the psychological well-being of teachers, since they themselves are a part of the cultural and societal systems. This can contribute to “self-imposed” pressure by teachers that has not been the focus of research until now. Parents and the school environment are the biggest sources of pressure on teachers at the meso-level. Much of the conflict between parents and teachers is stimulated by opposing views of what a ‘good education’ means. Government overregulation of work conditions, requirement to maintain responsibilities other than teaching, pressure from administrators, insufficient levels of wages and resources of the education system, heavy school workload, insufficiently developed curriculum are sources of systemic pressure on teachers. Lack of public control over school administration’ decision-making and lack of autonomy of educational institutions correlates with political and governmental pressures. Burdensome governmental pressure whether due to reform, policy change, or cultural expectations related to political past forms the social representation of the teacher as having a low professional status, as well as social ideas about mismatch between teacher actions and the expectations of society. The great consensus of research on the sources of systemic vulnerability extends to the countries of Eastern Europe and China that were associated with totalitarianism, as well as to the countries of Western Europe with a strong democratic tradition.

Approach. In the person-centered approach, congruence appears when an individual’s internal and external experiences and symbolizations are one. In modern leadership theories, congruence is one of the three basic traits of a “good leader”. It means the ability to establish deep, meaningful relationships with followers based on the closeness of lifestyle. Finally, in political science, congruence is understood as the conformity of the leader’s position to the followers’ attitudes, expectations, and actions. Conformity of the patterns of power-subordinate relations is of particular importance. The requirement of congruence, which is relevant for a political leader at the intra- and inter-subject levels, creates a conflict of congruence. Results. The author describes two basic types of conflict resolution by a political leader that can lead to destructive consequences for political stability and public trust: incongruence of expression and experience. The author outlines the principles and conditions for a more constructive resolution of the conflict of congruences. Conclusions and prospects for further research. Despite some limitations in applying congruence to political leadership, the human-centered approach opens up some perspectives in resolving dilemmas between private and public imperatives, which now remain a source of political conflict with systemic negative consequences for the stability and effectiveness of political systems. The urgent task of modern politics is to abandon rigid, destructive ways of resolving the conflict of congruences in favor of more flexible, conscious, and responsible approaches.","PeriodicalId":33814,"journal":{"name":"Naukovi studiyi iz sotsial''noyi ta politichnoyi psikhologiyi","volume":"49 1","pages":"44 - 55"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44366005","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

COVID-19 outbreak has changed human life and activity [1], especially in urban areas forcing citizens to stay for large periods of time in lockdowns. Protective measures (social distancing and isolation) that have been globally implemented has caused the isolation of millions. Preliminary findings (Moreno et al, 2021) suggest adverse mental health effects in previously healthy people and especially in people with pre-existing mental health disorders. Extended lockdowns come at the expense of mental health, psychophysical conditions, wellbeing, and social relations within societies (Campion et al., 2020). Before COVID-19 outbreak, city centers offered a high-quality life with a wide range of services, utilities, public and green spaces, as well as city parks (Sharifi & Khavarian- Garmsird, 2020). Living in a small apartment with a minimal private space in the city center was balanced by the high level of socialization in public spaces, outdoor activities and events, intense interactions among inhabitants, allowing them to maintain relations (Portegijs et al., 2021). With COVID-19 outbreak, this modern urban standard of living was challenged. Social distancing took place at several levels: at home and at work, and, in the city, in the street and on public transport. Everything created for urban life changed and became uncertain. Societies got used to sharing common spaces, often crowded, and everyone was cut off from everyday socialisation. The isolation forced millions of individuals and families to remain at home, causing them to change their routines, rituals, and habits (McCay, 2020). In dense urban areas, this mostly meant locking people in cramped apartments, cut off from everyday physical activity outside the home (Portegijs et al, 2021; Bil et al, 2021). Smart cities are instrumented, interconnected, and intelligent urban areas (Harrison et al., 2010) that pursue shared growth through an integrated set of technologies that shape interactions between actors (Nam & Pardo, 2011). A smart city can be defined as complex set of technology (infrastructures of hardware and software), people (creativity, diversity, and education), and institutions (governance and policy) (Nam & Pardo, 2011).

According to scientific data, unemployed, lonely and students are most prone to procrastination. And what about teachers, in particular, higher education institutions? There is not enough data in the available literature. As practice shows, in the case of teachers, procrastination or postponement can manifest itself in the form of stress caused by failure to fully realize goals and plans vital to the individual. Negative consequences are expressed both in reduced work capacity and in acute emotional experiences of one’s own failure, dissatisfaction with the results of one’s work. The aim of the study was to investigate and evaluate the level of anxiety, depression and the nature of manifestations of procrastination among teachers of the Ivano-Frankivsk National Medical University during the period of altered psycho-emotional state during forced social distancing in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on social functioning and quality of life. Materials and methods: The survey was voluntary and anonymous. The research was approved by the Bioethics Committee of Ivano-Frankivsk National Medical University and conducted according to the principles of the Helsinki Declaration. We used two clinical test methods to identify emotional disturbances: the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and the Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) (Zigmond A.S. et.al.,1983; Svanborg P., 2001). In order to assess the degree of expressiveness of the propensity to postpone matters “for later” among the surveyed teachers, we created a special Google questionnaire created on the basis of data. “Questionnaire to study the propensity of the individual to procrastination” (Shivari, O.A., 2015), which is a modification of the “General Procrastination Scale” (Lay, C., 1986) and consists of two scales: “Personally conditioned procrastination scale” (Scale I) and “Situationally conditioned procrastination scale” (Scale II). Scale I indicates the general level of procrastination and Scale II -motivational procrastination, its high indicators suggest that the questionnaire will perform some work only in the presence of motivation. In addition, in order to assess the quality of life, the data of “The Quality of Life Enjoyment and Satisfaction Questionnaire - Short Form (Q-LES-Q-SF)’ were evaluated.
