Values, life orientations and life satisfaction of parents raising children with disabilities // Pedagogical Review. 2023. Issue 4 (50). P. 162-169

The number of children with disabilities is growing every year. The appearance of a child with disabilities in the family leaves an imprint on the state of the parents, instills in them anxiety and fear for the future of the child. In such families, disintegrating social processes are observed that do not contribute to the successful socialization of children with disabilities. At the same time, the family can be considered as a resource in the development of a child with disabilities. Considering that many parents raising children with disabilities have typical features, a study was conducted on the psychological characteristics of parents: values, life orientations and life satisfaction. The following methods were used: The Life Satisfaction Scale (E. Diener; adapted by D.A. Leontiev, E.N. Osina); “Portrait Values Questionnaire-Revised” (Portrait Values Questionnaire -Revised – PVQ-R; Sh. Schwartz et al.; modification by K.V. Sugonyaev), where we examined the meta-values of “Openness to change” and “Saving”; Test of life orientations by D. A. Leontiev. The results of the study indicate that the values, life orientations and life satisfaction of parents raising children with disabilities differ significantly from similar psychological characteristics of parents raising healthy children. Parents raising children with disabilities need psychological and pedagogical support, they need comprehensive, targeted psychological assistance. The results obtained are of practical importance and can be used by specialists in designing programs of psychological and pedagogical support for parents raising children with disabilities.

The study of emotional and cognitive aspects of regulating human behavior in risk situations is an urgent task of modern psychology. The study of the construct “emotional intelligence” proved the significance of this phenomenon in the context of the development of human resources in connection with the tasks of professional, educational and everyday life. The links between emotional intelligence and cognitive risk assessments allow us to identify resources for stress coping and self-efficacy in the context of various social practices. The aim of our research was to develop a modified EmIn questionnaire, study the relationships between emotional intelligence indicators and intellectual risk assessment to describe the typological features of modern students. The following methods were used in the study: the Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire (EmIn) by D. V. Lyusin, Risk Intelligence Scale (SRIS) (G. Craparo, P. Magnano, A. Paolillo, V. Costantino, 2018, adaptation by T. V. Kornilova, E. M. Pavlova, 2020). The results of the study demonstrate good psychometric characteristics of the modified version of the EmIn questionnaire. The typology of modern student youth is described from the point of view of the specifics of the formation of personal resources for emotional and cognitive regulation of behavior associated with risk situations. The results of the study, including a modified version of the EmIn questionnaire, as well as the identified typological features of young people can be used by psychologists in studying the problematic aspects of human interaction with situations of uncertainty in the modern transitive world.
